WOT Trigger

Description

Product Overview

Engineered for the discerning shooter who demands consistency and reliability, the WOT Trigger represents a significant advancement in fire control group design. This FRT (Forced Reset Trigger) is not a standard replacement trigger; it is a specialized component designed for experienced firearms enthusiasts and professionals who understand its unique function and legal applications. The primary use of the WOT Trigger is to provide a highly responsive and efficient trigger mechanism for semi-automatic platforms, leveraging a forced reset system to minimize finger travel and reset time. It is built for those who prioritize mechanical precision and training efficiency in a controlled, lawful environment, such as on a private range. Proper installation by a qualified gunsmith is strongly recommended to ensure optimal function and safety.

Key Features

• Precision Forced Reset Mechanism: The core of the WOT Trigger’s design facilitates an ultra-fast and positive reset. This engineered reset minimizes the distance your finger must travel between shots, promoting smoother follow-up shots and enhanced control.
• Meticulous Machining & Materials: Constructed from high-grade steel and aerospace-aluminum alloys, each component is CNC-machined to exacting tolerances. This ensures not only exceptional durability and longevity under high-round-count use but also a consistent, clean break with every pull.
• User-Adjustable Pre-Travel & Overtravel: Unlike many factory triggers, the WOT allows for fine-tuning. Using the provided tooling, you can precisely adjust both pre-travel (the movement before the sear releases) and overtravel (movement after the break) to match your personal preference and firearm setup.
• Optimized Trigger Geometry: The shoe profile and engagement surfaces are designed to promote ideal finger placement and a straight-back press. This reduces lateral pressure that can induce shot deviation, directly contributing to improved accuracy potential.
• Robust Anti-Walk Pin System: Included anti-walk pins are a critical detail, ensuring the trigger unit remains securely anchored within the firearm’s lower receiver during extended firing sessions, preventing any shift in zero or function.
• Comprehensive Compatibility: Designed to fit a wide array of standard semi-automatic platforms (always verify specific model compatibility using the manufacturer’s specifications), the WOT Trigger is a versatile upgrade for multiple firearms in your collection.

Performance & Applications

The WOT Trigger excels in scenarios where split-second efficiency and mechanical consistency are paramount. Its design supports specialized training and competitive disciplines where lawful.

Advanced Dynamic Training: For shooters engaged in high-level tactical or defensive training courses, the trigger’s rapid reset and short lock time can aid in developing faster, more accurate shot sequences during controlled pairs and transition drills. It allows the user to focus on fundamentals like sight picture and recoil management by reducing trigger reset as a variable.

Competitive Shooting Sports: In certain time-based competition formats, the reduced finger movement and crisp break of the WOT Trigger can contribute to shaving critical fractions of a second from stage times. The consistent pull weight and feel help maintain a steady rhythm through a course of fire, where mechanical reliability is non-negotiable.

Precision Rimfire Training: When installed on a compatible .22 LR training platform that mimics your primary rifle’s ergonomics, the WOT Trigger provides an affordable method to practice trigger control and high-volume drills with identical muscle memory feedback, maximizing the value of every training round.
