Wait till they find out about the Sig 320
I had a criminal trial where the prosecutor asserted a charge of child endangerment by the licensed gun carrier being in the room with a child while having a such a gun that could just go off at anytime. During the 'hair trigger' demonstration by the 'firearm expert' law enforcement officer, it took the townie cop 4 tries to fire. And that was with him purposely trying to pull the trigger.
So your client was convicted, then?
What is a release trigger? It simply is a trigger that is first set (pulled and held back) and then released when the gun is to be fired. That sounds horribly confusing as it is exactly backwards from what we consider “normal” operation, but it really is not all that challenging IF your mind is “right.” My first time using a release was about 25 years ago when I bought an engraved 1986-vintage Krieghoff KS-5 trap gun that came with a release hook (more on the parts involved later) already in place. Those old guns could be changed from a pull trigger to a release trigger by simply turning an Allen® screw in the trigger.
