Korriphila HSP 701

But does it have a ONE-SIDED trigger bar?

(The SIG P226 and P220 X-five series guns have one-sided trigger bars, and they've got great triggers... so a one-sided trigger bar isn't necessarily a detrimental design feature.)

With some designs, a single-sided trigger bar can be seen on the outside of the slide (as with some Bersa and Beretta guns) -- otherwise you can't know without stripping the gun or seeing a parts diagram.

Yes it does. It feels as solid as any pistol I own.

Hell, my Sig X Five has a one sided trigger bar. Not sure where the supposed issue lies. :confused:
 
Don't have mine in front of me, but I will second bac's comment that, no matter how it's constructed, the HSP trigger is as solid as any gun's. In fact, I'd say it's one of the best DA/SA triggers I've felt in terms of weight, smoothness, break, reset, and just overall feeling. Nothing about it feels like a compromise.
 
Alright now folks are gonna say an auto-loader can have just as fine a trigger as a single shot or a revolver in SA mode. :eek:

I have an AR (auto-loading rifle) with a very fine trigger but it's a set trigger, manual adjust. Move the safety forward and the trigger becomes very much a hair trigger because the forward movement of the safety lessens the engagement of the shear/hammer. Otherwise without setting the trigger it's similar to a regular AR although perhaps lighter. :o

They most certainly can. You have to try some different autos.
 
What he said ^^^^ :)

If 745SW is serious -- and not trying to be funny -- it's clear he hasn't tried some of the guns in question. A fine trigger, alone, isn't what makes some of these guns so great. (Then, too, a gun CAN be accurate with a heavy trigger. Just LIGHT isn't enough.)

I never expect to even see one and could never hope to own one, but that is one beautiful pistol and its lines indicate it would feel as nice as it looks.

BTW, the markings appear to be etched, not stamped, a common European way of marking guns (pre-war Walthers were etched, for example).

The AR I spoke of suffered a non functioning set trigger because the lube got gummy seating for years. I have not experienced this with standard/stock AR's. Just an example of the higher attention needed for such a thing. Reliability goes down.

Interesting. Is there some sort of moral to this story?

Are there tell-tale signs of that? I'm thinking that because the marks are so precise but fine, and maybe a stamp press/roller couldn't achieve that?
 
Design limitation can be overcome by material and workmanship but at what cost, initial, long term in the form of maintenance and qaulity of ammo. It can be said better results can be had with the more suited design.

Thanks Jim

I'm not 100% sure about the markings, but I believe they are etched. You can see it when you magnify them. They are very finely done, as is everything on the pistol.

The only other pistol I own that has markings so fine is my 9mm Korth.

I'm not following you. What is limited about the design?
 
A dual sided trigger bar, design, will have less flex than a single sided. Everything else being equal the dual will be stiffer.

All else is not equal. The Korriphila HSP may just be the highest quality pistol ever built.

It's very certainly one of them. It has about the nicest DA/SA trigger I ever felt.
