What is the lock time of the AR Gold Trigger?

The lock time of your AR Gold trigger averages 5.8 milliseconds (ms), as measured using a DVORAK TriggerScan machine.

Understanding Lock Time:

Lock time refers to the time interval between the moment the trigger is pulled and the moment the firing pin strikes the primer, initiating the ignition of the cartridge. In simpler terms, it's the time it takes for the internal mechanisms of the firearm to fire after the trigger is activated.

• Importance of Lock Time:

  • A shorter lock time is generally desirable, as it minimizes the opportunity for the shooter to introduce movement or errors during the firing process.
  • Reduced lock time contributes to improved accuracy and consistency, especially in precision shooting.
  • It reduces the amount of time that the firearm is able to be moved by the shooter between the decision to fire and the discharge.

• Factors Affecting Lock Time:

  • Trigger design and mechanics.
  • Hammer spring strength.
  • Firing pin weight and travel.
  • Overall firearm design.
