Here is an interesting perspective from a NYPD officer.

Be warned, there is some language. It is a New York cop after all.

I dunno is there a member here (other than you) saying that?

Like I said, it was alluded to by a couple of posters by bringing it up in this thread. I even quoted it so even you could understand what I was referencing. Now I am done playing the game with you.

Yep. They are.

Is there a report saying the heavy triggers "had something to do with it" ?

Is there a report showing "it had something to do with it"?

If there is, that may clear it up.

It didn't come across as a simple question. It came across as bait and a potential excuse. I'm done too.

I used to look forward to meeting forum members whether buying or selling guns and gear, grabbing lunch, or sitting in a booth at a gun show. I'm not so certain I'd be interested in that anymore.

They way it was floated out there in this particular thread sure gave the impression you two were trying to raise the question the triggers had something to do with it.

For people that always want to make their decisions on facts, what factual evidence prompted the concern about the triggers? Did the official report from the shooting investigation indicate the triggers may have contributed to the innocent bystanders being shot? I'm just curious what even brought the triggers to mind and why was it asked in this thread if it wasn't to allude to the fact that New York cops' heavy triggers had something to do with it.

I'm just trying to understand the logic and why there appears to be such a double standard.

Who is saying that!! Anyone!! Where is there even the slightest hint of someone saying that? But if the trigger on a gun is horrible and makes it harder to shoot it's worth noting don't you think? God forbid we try and actually understand an issue rather than just making sure you can pin the blame on someone.

NYPD still have those stupid heavy triggers on their Glocks?


The one's that make them almost impossible to shoot accurately? Yep.

There's a difference between bullseye shooting and shooting human size targets. I just don't accept the triggers as being an acceptable excuse for shooting bystanders.

I was once playing with the club pro and I started whining about my crappy clubs. He switched our bags and commenced to prove to me it isn't the club/tool. It's the tool using the tool. Haven't complained about my clubs, tools or guns since.

They just need to practice and one can overcome a heavy trigger.
