unless they are owned by the same parent company, then I might see it being the same thing...
"Binary Trigger" is the general name of a trigger group using a "pull and release" type of operating system. The mechanics may vary among manufactures on how that is accomplished, but the net result ends up with a "pull and release" firing capability.
Do you have a source for this? I would like to verify.
You're probably dating yourself with Xerox. Kids these days probably have no clue what that would be.FWIW, when I google “binary trigger”, I get results for both Franklin and Fostech, and then one or two others.
INGO can quibble over anything . To me, it’s kinda like Xerox or Kleenex. It may (I don’t know) have been a term for a specific product at one time but in my mind, it’s now a generic term to describe anyone’s pull and release sort of trigger system.

That's a search, that's not how the company advertises it. How often do you search for something and find something else that is similar, or even completely unrelated? Try a search for the echo trigger and you'll find the Binary Trigger as well.

Go down to the trigger types and they define binary trigger.
Up until you mentioned them, I wasn't aware of fostech triggers, but I've certainly heard of binary triggers for years.

Aspirin was a brand name at one time, but they lost their copyright due to “common usage”. Several years ago Kleenex was on the verge of losing their name, and they did a HUGE advertising campaign for Kleenex “facial tissues” and were able to keep their name. As far as Fostech being a binary trigger, is IS by definition a binary trigger whether they call it that or not. They have copyrighted the term “echo trigger” so every other manufacturer has to call theirs a binary trigger - even though they are basically the same thing. If a car manufacturer forgets (or decides not to) use the word “car” in its advertisements, IT IS STILL A CAR.
I am old, I’ll concede that. But I can take solice knowing I’m not as old as CM.
