Glock binary trigger

I don't. My Glock is probably the least shot of all my handguns. It mainly sits in the safe.

I thought binary meant something else these days? :o

Definitely not.   Think of the hazard , you are firing and the threat has ended and you fire again as you release the trigger.  

 

You are at the range and suddenly a cease fire is called for a safety reason and you fire again.

So this hand gun fires as you release the trigger.

You lessen you grip ti fire.

 

Doesn't sound like having control during firing.

 

You can keep it.

I have no use for a hand gun I have to let go of to fire.

Not sure I would like one in a self defense pistol, but have shot them in other guns.  A fun range toy in a mp5 or an ar.  
 

Not sure how the Glock would work, but in an ar, if you hold the trigger it will not fire and then you can rotate the selector back to semi auto or safe and release the trigger without firing a round. sort of like using a release trigger in a shotgun.

I have always wondered, with a binary trigger, do you always fire one more shot after you stop? 

 

Or just decide to stop when releasing the trigger? 

 

Or don't stop until it's empty, so no problem?

No, can hold and rotate selector to not fire, then release trigger.  I see the Glock version has a selector on the side of the slide.   Although usually you just fire even number of rounds.  Ending with the trigger forward.  Imho it’s a range toy, not a real life shootout.  I expect since it has a selector on the slide, one setting is regular semi auto.  Makes it function the same as normal.  
surprisingly glocks are easy to convert to full auto.  All it needs is a ramp in the slide and it will run until you release the trigger.

I doubt these will be legal for long.

I can see the advantage on a long gun but not a pistol.

My attempt at woke-ism just left me confused. :D

 

I've used one on a rifle at a range and it was fun but had a learning curve.

 

I'd NOT want anything like that on a CCW. Or any other handgun, come to think of it.

It has a switch on it and you can put it on regular semi auto fire.

Another precision engineered solution to a Non-Existant problem.  ie:  STUPID

How I understand it is it’s kinda like a set trigger on a rifle. I’m guessing it lessens the tendency to pull the pistol down to one side with the trigger finger. I can’t think of any reason for it other than as a range toy.

But it's endorsed by Alec Baldwin!

They will sell like hotcakes.  I have no need for one, but have to admit that binary triggers are fun gimicks.  I've shot AKs, ARs and 10/22s with them, and I do enjoy it.

Binary Trigger Operation...from the interweb. Personally I wouldn't want one.

 

A binary trigger is a replacement trigger that features two modes of firing, semiautomatic and binary or “echo” in the case of one brand. This binary trigger mechanism allows the user to fire whenever you pull the trigger and then to fire again with the release the trigger.

You pull the trigger and it goes bang.  You release the trigger and it goes bang.  I cannot think of any useful purpose for such a feature and for a lot of numb nuts that would install one it is a disaster waiting to happen.

Binary triggers on a rifle seem like a fun range toy, but maybe kind of dangerous on a pistol :o

 

I want to see someone make a binary or forced reset trigger for the Auto Ordnance made Thompson. ^_^

It's like $400.00 too!!

Useful purposes? Ammo sales double…

What ammo?  Double of nothing is nothing.

Exactly!

I misunderstood from the brief write up.  I thought it was a choice of squeeze-bang or release-bang, not squeeze-bang and release-bang. I'll bet attorneys are lining up already, along with anti gunners

You are correct.  There is a selector to choose whether you have single round discharge or binary discharge. 

 

The hysteria expressed in this thread reminds me of the sentiment expressed by Jim Zumbo a few years ago concerning the AR15.

I'm seeing legitimate safety concerns.  Hold down the trigger to prevent the second shot while manipulating a selector switch to change modes?   An accident and lawsuit waiting to happen.

That's only if you decide in mid string to switch.  Typically, you'd set the switch to either single or binary before beginning to shoot.  

 

Have you ever shot a firearm with a binary trigger installed?  I am beginning to think few, if any, in this conversation have even shot one.

Perhaps we miss the point??  With "fire" on pull and release, perhaps a rate of fire approaching full-auto.

I would try one if I got the chance but I am not buying one and living in CA, there is no way I would install one for fear of getting that tap on my shoulder at a shooting range.
