Since I bought a Chocolate Lite,( my first thumb trigger release) I have been having trouble getting the trigger where I want it. I made some extensions that were custom shaped.The early ones addressed the problem of getting the trigger in the right position for my thumb, but failed to get the other two factors I needed. I wanted no movement and a natural movement of the thumb working in the same direction as the trigger itself.Rigid extensions acted like levers and magnfied the trigger movement;bad!Most of the extensions also meant the thumb wanted to move one way and the trigger wanted to move in a different direction;also bad!
The end of the trigger bar on the C Lite is about 2cm from its own pivot point, and any extra makes it so long that the movement can be felt before the release activates.
So I tried a pivoting extension. I added some metal to the trigger bar so that I could pivot my extension very close to the trigger's own pivot point. Because the extension is not a rigid fit but a pivoting one,it is possible to have my thumb in a natural position, working in a natural direction that matches the trigger and with no noticeable movement.:cheerful:
I now feel that I am in control of the trigger;I can add pressure till it goes as a surprise. Previously, it had felt as though the harder I pressed, the stiffer the spring became.:thumbsdow
Has anyone else had similar dfficulties;or tried their own mods?
