Looks vaguely like a skinny version of the FN 5.7 handgun. The little Keltecs I have had are great value but have that really long trigger pull. I wonder if they will make the trigger snappier on this model because it has a manual safety?

I was just eyeballing the pistol again, and it now appears to me that the trigger is a pivot trigger, not a slide trigger like on my 1911, and judging from the overall dimensions of the pistol, it looks (based purely on speculation and previous experience, lol) that it may be a long trigger pull. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

oh well, if it's a predictable trigger pull, then I can still drive tacks with it! I think I might be picking one of these up.

I have assumed from reading that post that you are unfamilar with Keltecs. Based on my experiences with that brand (not this gun) I would vernture to guess that it's going to need a fair bit of polishing up on the trigger. Other than that, the ones I've tried have been decent.

I'm fairly familiar with them, having fired several of thier DAO subbies as well as the SU-16 rifle and the pistol caliber carbine, can't think of the name. I liked the SU-16, but couldn't see purchasing one in lieu of an AR, since I live in a free state still, price notwithstanding. I remember with the subcompacts that the trigger pull was long, like most DAO subcompacts, but it wasn't as heavy as other micropistols I've fired. My personal preference for a pistol trigger is a slide trigger, because I've found I can actuate the system more consistently. I find my finger shifts position on lever triggers just a hair, but there's no telling how the trigger handles on this pistol until one has fired it.

Based solely on mechanical knowledge, unless the trigger is engineered to be so far forward in the trigger gaurd though, it looks to me like a wide arc for the trigger itself to swing through. The trigger stop is very pronounced too, which supports that assumption. Being a striker fired pistol (obviously), I'd hedge my bet it's a SAO pistol, even more so seeing the manual safety lever, so it's probably a fairly clean trigger pull with no staging, but quite a lot of take-up, and a bit of creep as well. I agree too, it will probably need a bit of stoning to clean up the rough edges and smooth it out.
