Gun Triggers

Gun triggers have been a part of firearms for centuries. The first known gun trigger was invented in the 16th century by a swordsmith in Venice, Italy. Gun triggers were used to cock and fire pistols. Trigger mechanisms were also used in artillery to aim cannons. Trigger mechanisms evolved over time and today, most guns use electronic triggers that fire automatically when you pull the trigger.

Gun triggers are devices that allow a gun to fire automatically, by the ASA (Automatic Safety Action) system. There are three basic types of trigger: single action, double action, and magazine safety. A single action trigger is typically operated with one hand; it has two positions: off (M), which returns the hammer to its firing position, and on (O), which fires the cartridge. A double action trigger is operated with both hands; it has three positions: off (M), which returns the hammer to its firing position, safe(S), which prevents the gun from being fired while in this position, and cocked(C), which causes the gun to fire when pulled back slightly towards cocking position. Magazine safety systems prevent firearms from being fired unless the magazine is removed. The ASA system works by depressing a small spring-loaded plunger at a designated location on the frame of the gun. When depressed fully, this plunger pushes an electric contact switch located near the breech face into conducting territory, preventing shots from being fired until release of pressure within milliseconds has occurred.

In 1892, the first gun triggers were made in Westmont. The triggers were made from wood and metal and had a pull weight of 3 pounds.

Westmont is a village in Kane County, Illinois, United States. The population was 1,914 at the 2010 census. It falls within the Chicago metropolitan area. The village was organized on November 8, 1866 from parts of Winnetka and Newton Heights. At first it was called "Newton Heights", but that name gradually disappeared because most of the people who lived there were farmers or mechanics and did not own land. The current name comes from an incident which took place when a group of officers from West Point played cricket in Newton Heights and someone suggested they rename the village to Westmont because then everyone would know where it came from. Westmont is located on the west side of Kane County, between Cook County to the east and Rockford to the north. According to the 2010 census, its total area is .

There is no one answer to this question as trigger history can be vast and unique. However, some general tips that may help include understanding how triggers work and what are the most common types. Additionally, it’s important to be familiar with different kinds of triggers, their purpose and use in firearms. What Is a Trigger? A trigger is the part of a gun that allows the shooter to pull the trigger in order to fire a round from the weapon. There are three main types of triggers: mechanical (manual), digital (e-gadget), and gas operated (piston). Mechanical triggers rely on movement of an arm or hand to activate the firearm; digital triggering systems use electrical signals instead. Gas operated triggers typically rely on cartridges being inserted into a port at the back of the gun which then fires upon impact.

The first firearms were handguns. The first pistols were made with a hammer that cocked the gun's action and an adjustable stock. The triggers on these early firearms were often simple, consisting of one or two fingers that depressed the firing pin to fire the cartridge.

Westmont, Illinois was founded in 1818 by John W. West and his wife Deborah. The township was named for the then-current location of Fort Dearborn, which was at the time a British post on the western frontier. The first settler in what is now Westmont Township was George S. Boardman, who arrived in 1814. In 1835, the town of Westmont became a full-fledged village when it merged with neighboring Lancaster Township. After more than two centuries as an agricultural community, Westmont experienced some significant changes during the late 20th century. Significant developments included construction of Interstate 80 and Route 66 through the township; growth of heavy industry in nearby Decatur; and increased suburban development within easy commuting distance of downtown Westmont.
