The New York Heavy Trigger Pull Law
BY Herschel Smith7 years, 7 months ago
One might if one had zero knowledge of guns, of gun design and of defensive gun uses. Left unacknowledged are inconvenient realities like the fact that the harder the trigger pull, the more inaccurate the gun, a problem the New York Police Department (and those they shoot and/or miss) has experienced since the bureaucrats imposed a 12-lb. trigger pull requirement (resulting in a 15% hit ratio). Serrano has not offered how making a gun less accurate makes it safer.
Have you ever tried to use a gun with a 12 pound pull? I haven’t, but close. I believe it had around an 8-9 pound pull. It belonged to someone else, and I believe I managed to saw the left arm off the target silhouette.
I don’t think the NYPD needs any more help in learning how to shoot badly. Leave it to progs to design dumb laws intended to super-manage lives rather than punish criminals. By the way, David also links an NRA piece on the S&W sellout that I have never seen.

A Glock with the trigger pull of a Nagant revolver – what could possibly go wrong?

I own 2 Glock 19’s that were police trade ins.
Both came with the “NY” trigger modification, actually one of each of them.
Just for giggles I tried them “dry” after purchase.
It was, “awful”, and “worse than awful”.
Thankfully Glock pistols are easy for the end user to replace ill informed modifications if need be, so a stock trigger return spring fixed that nonsense in a few minutes.
But if one ever wants to see or experience how terrible the trigger pull in a NY Police pistol is, I can put them back in just to show them.
