A good trigger at 3 lbs will feel lighter than a 2 lb trigger with a lot of creep. Dying ain't much of a living boy...Josey Wales Molon Labe

It solved a flinch/shot anticipation problem I had and did not even know about. Was sighting in one day and forgot to put live round in and when I pulled the trigger it was obvious.
