What Is A Binary Trigger? What makes a trigger binary?
Binary gun triggers are becoming increasingly popular in the gun world. Their mechanism performs two functions: it releases the hammer to strike the percussion cap on the cartridge primer, and it cocks the hammer. This type of trigger is found on revolvers and double-action semi-automatic pistols.
The gun trigger’s two functions are performed by two separate sears. The first sear is the trigger sear, which is responsible for releasing the hammer. The second sear is the cocking sear, which is responsible for cocking the hammer.
When the gun trigger is pulled, the trigger sear releases the hammer. As the hammer falls, it cocks the gun. When the gun is fired, the recoil from the shot cocks the gun again and resets the trigger sear.
Binary gun triggers have a number of advantages over traditional gun triggers. They provide a smoother and lighter trigger pull, which can improve accuracy. They also eliminate the need for a decocking lever, making them safer and easier to use.
