FIFYNo striker fired handgun can possibly compare to a good S&W Mod 10 revolver or like a
COLT PYTHON.
Well, maybe some of the older non- Hillary Hole guns. Period!

I prefer hammer fired pistols but own/have owned a lot of striker fired pistols as well. The trigger on the Canik Elite Combat is, hands down, the best factory trigger I’ve ever felt on a striker fired pistol. Takeup is very smooth with a noticeable wall, but the break is clean and light. It also has a very short reset.I’ve heard quite a few people say the Caniks are the best out of the box striker trigger going now.
I have some Sig P320’s that I really like the trigger on, but for da/sa the CZ can’t be beat after cajonizing.
Rent or find friends to try them out.
Did the Elite come with the Short Reset installed?Of the 10 or so 9mms I've owned through the years the Smith Shields have a very good trigger for a striker fired gun especially for the price. Shield Plus is is my favorite of my current 9mm triggers.
Never had a chance to fire a 9mm with a truly remarkable trigger. A guy at the range let me dry fire his TS series CZ single action and the pull was so good I asked if he had it worked on and he said that's the way it came.
Only 9mm I had trigger changed was my Glock 34 Gen 5 and while the trigger is probably 3lbs or so it as about as crisp as a wet noodle.
My only DA/SA 9mm is a US made 2022 Sig P226 Elite , amazing trigger! Amazing that a trigger can be so bad for a gun in this price range. A very mushy creepy SA and a very gritty feeling at the start of the DA as the hammer spring is being compressed. My 2007 P220 (45 auto) is far and away better and my old 1990s German P220 had a fantastic trigger.
Other than paper only firearms, my sons and myself tend to fall into that thought ourselfs.I try not to be so specialized in my pistol triggers, that I couldn't pick up a duplicate pistol and run it well, OEM same day.
Same said with going to a really high dollar pistol. If I had to replace it immediately, could that happen flawlessly?
Yeah , SRT is the last item listed in the feature list on the box label. My P226 trigger really sours the shooting experience , pistol is excellent most every other area. I see why Grayguns and The SIG Armorer are in business.Did the Elite come with the Short Reset installed?
Ive done most of the 22 Series we have, I will say its $50.00 well spent each time.
Thanks, I wondered. Its a huge plus to install in our household.Yeah , SRT is the last item listed in the feature list on the box label. My P226 trigger really sours the shooting experience , pistol is excellent most every other area. I see why Grayguns and The SIG Armorer are in business.
Is it a Lysons Corner? You are lucky to have had it since new! There is one I saw on gunbroker at an astronomical price! I saw an old German P226 at Muncie Guns that I almost bought , the trigger was significantly better than the 2022 model I have.Thanks, I wondered. Its a huge plus to install in our household.
I was surprized that the MK 25's didnt come with that installed.
My first 226 is a Tysons Corner import pistol, ive owned it since it was new.
It's been back for rebuild and springs a few times in its life with me.
That pistols single and double is just unbelievable.
No I don't believe its a Lysons, I will pull it out tomorrow when im at the shop.Is it a Lysons Corner? You are lucky to have had it since new!

What is it in particular you like about revolver triggers? I'd assume it is the crispness of the single action pull? If so, it will probably take a decent 1911 or CZ trigger to match that. If it is the double action pull of revolvers that you like, then the Sig P250 trigger is like a DAO revolver only better.I own revolvers and most have good triggers . I'm thinking about buying a 9mm and would like opinions on which one has the best trigger . Does striker fired pistols generally have less "slop" than hammer pistols ? Thanks in advance
Ahh , thanks for posting , was wondering as the one on gunbroker is listed as Lysons Corner and is stamped as Lysons Corner as well. Looking back at the listing it is a factory error.No I don't believe its a Lysons, I will pull it out tomorrow when im at the shop.
It was an issue pistol an I had to have payroll deductions to pay for the two that we were issued.
I have both still, years later I gave my father one and I kept the other.
Now my Thing 1 has one and I still have the one I carried for well over 30 years.
Edit, I went and took a few pics.
My book says I picked them up the summer of 87. Its stamped Tysons, The book also says I picked them up at the newer Herdon, VA Facility.
It has scolloped rails like so many back then.
My understanding is the factory had about 700 that were roll stamped incorrectly and they caught all but 70 + - of them. I really dont believe they are worth any extra money.Ahh , thanks for posting , was wondering as the one on gunbroker is listed as Lysons Corner and is stamped as Lysons Corner as well.

They’re kind of like misprinted coins. Not really “worth” any extra money, but they sell for quite a bit more. It’s actually kind of ironic because of my four P220s, the Tyson’s Corner has the worst trigger.My understanding is the factory had about 700 that were roll stamped incorrectly and they caught all but 70 + - of them.

Interesting, myself I have never seen any sell for really any extra money. Could be, I just have never seen it happen, nor have I ever been looking.They’re kind of like misprinted coins.

Finely machined triggers are the best, hands down. Short of a custom trigger, a 1911 trigger is probably the best you will find.9mm on a 1911 chassis can have excellent triggers. Although Fewer people do the work, the Browning High Power 9mm can have an excellent trigger. I am told there are some people who have worked out great triggers on the original CZ 9mm. I have fired more than a few poly pistols, even ones with improvement kits installed, and not found them as good as triggers that were made from precision machined bits of high carbon steel.
