Quick Answer of the Week: WTF is “Trigger Stacking”?
I’m sure you’ve come across this phrase often. Like so many terms in the gun world, reviewers always seem to assume you know exactly what they’re talking about. Every review I’ve seen tends to refer to “trigger stacking” in a bad connotation, but never explained why.
After a bit of research, I’ve been able to come up with a very simple explanation:
Trigger stacking is where the pull, or resistance of the trigger gets heavier the further back you pull it.
Why it’s bad:
It creates, essentially, an inconsistent trigger pull which ultimately makes it harder to shoot accurately. While most guns have some form of stacking, it’s more prevalent on double action only guns.
