GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[Cynical Ninja]

Correct OP. The trigger pull is VERY long on the LCP and the weight is something like 10 lbs of pressure. If you have ever shot a revolver , it is real similar. The trigger has to travel from the forward most point all the way back until it just about hits the frame. They are designed that way because they do not have a manual safety. That very long very heavy trigger pull IS the safety. These are designed to be a pocket carry handgun. The trigger is anything but easy to pull, or , as we all have heard before, a hair trigger.

Here are a couple pics that may explain exactly how far the trigger has to be pulled. The first one is of the gun as it sits at rest [starting point]

The second shows the trigger at the point that it gust tripped the disconnecter. That is the point it needs to be in before the gun goes bang.

She obviously gave that trigger a damn good squeeze.

Irresponsible bitch.
