Standard factory triggers often have a heavy pull weight that can exceed 7 pounds, paired with a gritty, friction-filled feel that can ruin your aim. That is why tactical operators, law enforcement agents, hunters, and regular civilians choose a trigger upgrade for their firearms. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGun Part: What is a Drop-In Trigger?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA drop-in trigger is a pre-assembled, self-contained fire control group.

To install it, you simply \"drop\" the entire unit into your firearm's lower receiver and lock it in place with retaining pins.
