Your favorite trigger? (among the handguns you currently own)

OK ladies and gents, the question is:

Among the handguns you currently own, which has your favorite trigger (be specific).

It doesn't necessarily mean the lightest trigger. It means the trigger you like best for whatever reason, pull weight, crispness, smoothness, reset, etc... It's whatever floats "your" boat.

I'll start if off: My favorite among the current lineup is the "single action" pull on my Rossi 46103. It's fantastic and puts a huge smile on my face, light and crisp...

OK, have fun! :)
 
My Browning Buck Mark is the best. There are a couple of revolvers that might make me smile more, but the Browning actually has the best trigger.
 
My Colt Combat Commander XSE has an amazing trigger! I honestly couldn't tell you what has been done to it as it was a gift but whatever it is was done right!


My CZ-75B after 3k rounds has an awesome trigger for being all stock, but the reset is a little longer than id like. Even with the reset I will more than likely never touch the trigger. Iv kind of fallen in love with the way it functions and ya know.... if its not broken don't fix it.


Then as an alternate id have to say the Sig P238 that I bought for my girlfriend to use. I don't have much experience with SIGs let alone their triggers but the break on the 238 is so crisp.
 
High Standard

My old High Standard Supermatic, awesome trigger.

It's one of the reasons that High Standard is the only one to win Camp Perry of American manufactured pistols.

Only gun I have with a better trigger? My Elsie, that is having it's 100th birthday this year. I believe this is the gun where the term breaks like a glass rod came from.
 
I have a S&W Model 10-7 revolver modified by Mr. Ken Eversull into a Police Pistol Combat (PPC) gun. It hardly represents a factory firearm but with all the other modifications, it does have a sweet double action trigger pull. The revolver after the addition of the slab sided barrel and Aristocrat sight rib weights in at 3 lbs. 10 ozs.
 
I have a CZ-85b that I have stock as well. I probably have put 1500 or so through it. And you are right.

It has the best DA trigger of any stock gun I've shot. It's so smooth and crisp. I don't want to swap it out.

Interesting that the Sig P238 got an early mention. My wife and I each have one, and both have very nice triggers, short and crisp. I didn't expect a pocket gun to have such a nice trigger.

I get along with the 92FS trigger quite well, too. I put a D spring in my to lighten it a shade. Very smooth in either mode, and suitably short and light in SA. Just one of those things that feels right to me.
 
Milsurp??

Don't mean to drift the thread, any nominees for best milsurp trigger off the rack?

I shall nominate the CZ 83 mines in 9mm Mak. Double action is smooth and not heavy at all. Single action is ok, and correct for it's service pistol role.
 
Favorite? tough call, I have a number of pistols with very good triggers, so picking a favorite has more to do with the other features of the gun, for me.

My Auto Mags have excellent triggers. The Colt Government Model my dad used as a match gun in the 60s has an outstanding trigger for a semi auto.

My S&W N frames have great triggers, SA is outstanding and DA isn't bad.

My Contenders, and my XP-100 have triggers in the class of bolt action match guns. It was, in fact, the trigger of the Contender that got me interested in them. After over 30 years of ignoring them, because they were "only a single shot", I tried the trigger on one in a shop, and it was an eye-opening moment. AND they (the old ones, at least) are adjustable!!

As for the best trigger on a milsurp pistol, I'd have to go with one of the milsurp S&W revolvers, a 1917 or a model 10. Same great pulls found on their commercial models, and better triggers than found on any milsurp semi auto I know.
 
Sig 226 X5 with short reset trigger.
Take up the slack then a 'glass break' in the next millimeter = boom.

My dad had an IJ-70 Baikal Makarov that I remember having a really good trigger for what it was!
 
Contender

44 Amp reminded me, I am not shooting enough lately, or even opening the safe much.
My old Contender has a superb trigger, and yes it is also adjustable.

Since I do roll my own the awful original grips on it are tolerable. Full house .44 is downright uncomfortable.

It need to wear a set of Packys. I shall get around to it when my life returns to normal. Well that and retirement is now in sight, more time for the range.
