Mail call glock12/11/2022 ![]() ![]() Regarding their TM-9X pistol, TARA says, “The DARE trigger system allows for fast and simple training of new users and for a smooth transition for those who come from old conventional systems…” Lightning Tap says about the so-called Glock “safe action” trigger, “Unlike the Glock factory trigger, the Lightning Tap Double Action Trigger System truly is…unlike the Glock, the Lightning Tap Trigger keeps the striker in a forward position with zero spring tension.” It is completely drop safe. The trigger face is as smooth as the trigger pull. A close-up of the Lightning Tap Double Action Trigger installed in a Glock clone. Other people might be moving over from DA/SA pistols or even revolvers. Especially with the increased popularity of appendix carry, where you’re pointing that pistol directly at a delicate, irreplaceable appliance. Mail call glock manual#The shorter/lighter trigger pull of a striker-fired gun might intimidate some people, especially since most of those pistols don’t have manual safeties. People forget that “back in the day” the short/lighter/no manual safety Glock trigger system was controversial. I realize that is in no way an exhaustive torture test, but I can say that the trigger works as advertised. The aluminum trigger does not feature a safety lever, as it doesn’t need one.īetween the Tara and the installation in my P80 I’ve got close to 300 rounds through this trigger system, without an issue. The DA/SA trigger system installed in a P80 Glock clone. Installed in a Polymer 80 Glock 17 I had lying around this trigger provided a smooth, 7.0-lb trigger pull, with a surprisingly short reset. One of the great things about the Glock design is all you need for complete disassembly/reassembly is a “Glock Armorer’s Tool”, otherwise known as a punch. But if you know your way around a Glock, following the included instructions will get the job done. Installation is a bit more complicated than typical Glock trigger systems, as it involves replacing some of the striker parts in the slide as well, and there are a few extra parts in the trigger unit. That was found to be too long/busy, and it currently is just the Double Action Trigger for Glocks. Tarr got an early sample of this trigger system, which included “Fast Reset” in the name. ![]() In ersatz single-action/short reset mode the trigger pull isn’t any lighter, just shorter. But if you like riding a short reset, once you get used to the reset spring weight you’ll be able to shoot this pistol as fast as most striker-fired pistols with conventional trigger systems. However, I found that the trigger reset spring is quite strong, so riding the reset under recoil takes a bit of practice-at first, you’ll find the trigger resetting all the way. The trigger is easy to stage, and shoot almost like a single action, simply by paying attention to the position of the trigger-it breaks just as it reaches the front of the frame. Total trigger travel in double-action (measured at the tip of the trigger) is almost exactly three-quarters of an inch. Double action trigger pull is consistent, with only a little bit of stack at the end. Where you see the trigger at rest is where the DA trigger pull starts. ![]() Mail call glock zip#The zip ties are so the parts stay in place during shipping. All the parts in the Lightning Tap double-action trigger system. This trigger system is interesting because it is a true double-action trigger pull-but notice I didn’t write “double action only”. Tara calls this trigger system the DARE (Double Action Rapid Engagement), but a rose by any other name…works exactly the same. If this trigger system intrigues you but you don’t have the interest (or budget) for a whole new gun, the Lightning Tap Double Action Trigger for the Glock is this same trigger system, made under the same patent, but for the Glock Gen 1-3 17/19 (etc.) pistols. The Tara is a polymer-framed striker-fired 9mm pistol which stands out from the crowd for a number of reasons, but I’ll pick two-it comes from Montenegro, and it features a fascinating DA/SA trigger system, which I think is a first for a striker-fired pistol. I first stumbled across this trigger system when doing a review of the new Tara TM-9X. ![]()
