Franklin Armory Binary Trigger for Glock

[MistWolf]

Like pornography and cocaine.

I was thinking more along the lines of the Anarchist's Cookbook, but yeah...

Sorry, I'm old, I'm cranky, and its dark so no visible clouds to yell at.

A binary pistol trigger is a children's toy, for children.

Now GET OFF MY LAWN

Having put a few hundred rounds through a rental Glock 18, they are indeed fun. But absolutely not especially accurate, and even with a 30 round mag, the thing empties in about 2 or 3 trigger pulls. Blip-blip-blip, and done.

But it's a rare treat kind of fun.

Either way spells FUN in all caps.

My thoughts are there were guns that fired full auto bursts, the rationale being that the cyclic rate was so fast that the gun did not move off target from recoil and you would get three hits on the enemy with small dispersion. With this gadget, or similar, is there enough time for the target to have significant movement and the gun also moves off target from the recoil. That can cause a round to go where you don't want. Of course, that depends on the time and why I asked.

I really don't think you should view a binary trigger as anything besides a fun toy. I'd challenge P-F'ers to go look around their homes and come back and honestly tell me they haven't spent more money on things that are as useless and frivolous as a binary Glock trigger. I'm willing to bet to the person, none of us can succeed in that endeavor.

I know I can't. I'm looking across my living room right now and see a big screen television, a Playstation, two shelves FULL of books, antique and collectible toys, a handbuilt stereo, a mid-century modern chair I don't use often, and a rowing machine (which I do use, but is not a strict necessity).

I dunno, that might be crossing the (admittedly fine) line between “dumb stuff” and “stupid stuff”. It might even call for an intervention…

See, kind of the premise of the “JCN buys dumb things” is that a lot of the time we see dumb things being tested by dumb people so we can’t tell if the things are dumb or the people are (or both).

So that’s where my curiosity goes. Could something theoretically work even though it seems like no?

Taurus Curve? Sucks.
Taurus View? Awesome.
Cutting a revolver barrel with an angle grinder and epoxying a sight? Awesome.

I’ve never seen a GM level shooter shoot a binary trigger on a USPSA type array. How would it be with a compensator and really good recoil management?

Those are the questions that roll around in my head….

Fair enough. Those are more reasonable than most of the questions that roll around in my head...

Some more details in my head:

How fast could I split a binary trigger and can I match my recoil management and vision to that rate.

I can trigger 0.12 splits and track them visually in standard fashion. So what would a binary be? 0.08? 0.10? Could I visually track that fast to time it to recoil?

.............., two shelves FULL of books, antique and collectible toys, .

You shut your mouth. No book ever fits in the frivolous category!
