Never heard of the NY Trigger, but doesn't a heaver trigger pull make gun less accurate?

Yes, but pistol shooting shouldn't be nearly as effected since it will be much closer. The thought process is for those that place their booger hooks on the trigger when not ready to fire and then milk the trigger because they are panicking. The heavier trigger will make it harder to pull.

Note: I don't believe the term "Booger Hook" is in the training manual.

Only in America.

LOL, very true Kev. Perhaps if Bloomturd would donate some of his $$$ to the NYPD to fund high-stress training combined with range time...NYC police wouldn't be so quick to fire under panic. Of course we know Bloomturd is more interested in wasting money sending it to other states to thwart "recall efforts".

Just think, if the cops only had single shot pistols, and only issued 1 firearm and 1 taser per 3 officers, the amount of money and potential thoughtless accidents like this that could be saved?

That's my point exactly. My opinion of a police department that substitutes training with triggers isn't very good. The point of the NY Trigger is to make the trigger squeeze more than 2 times as hard as it is on normal duty Glock. This is the thought process...it will be harder to pull the trigger so therefore fewer accidental shootings will happen. We all know...especially on this board....that accuracy only comes with training and no tool will change that.

And we all know exactly how much training outside of qualifying most LE's do. To me the nypd has as many officers who actually shoot in their off time as the boulder PD does, not many. Budget restraints, higher up / political mentality, puts actual range time / stress training somewhere below the union supporting a republican for office, in WIS. it is virtually non-existent. I know a few NYPD RO's and the stories i have been told (1st hand) you might as well have Tom Mauser as the firearm inst.
