A trigger that will put the SlideFire out of business

Just passing along some info/
Saw this on the Fredom Fighters program on the Pursuit channel last friday night:

To pricey for me, I will stick with my Geissele SSA.

I saw the show. Slide fire and these guys are just daring and begging ATF to step in. And when that happens they will ban more than just those 2 things. I saw a guy on the range with one of the Slide Fires and after he got done, the range manager banned them. He hit everything but the target. This tacticool mall ninja must have fired about 100 rounds and hit the man size target twice at 50 yards! I just dont get the desire for full auto or imitation full auto. It teaches folks to waste ammo. I'm retired AF and work for DA now. I carried M16's and M4's and still do on occasion down range. I'm fine with semi auto, pick your taget and kill it with 1 shot or the 3 round burst mode for bad guys with body armor. But full auto in a situation where you shoot what you carry and thats it until a resupply means your dead if your wasteful. Too many Expendables movies with ever lasting ammo mags, I guess.

I totally agree. I have no desire to get the trigger but it was fun to watch and see what it could do. Full auto would be fun but I sure couldn't afford it or the ammo!

Yeah full auto isn't fun. 3 round burst is tactically effective for m16 m4 but not fully automatic. I don't know why everyone has wet dreams about this.

Nah. There's a bump stock that's a fraction of the price that'll cut into their sales quite a bit:

The TacCon trigger only works well for those with a fast trigger finger. Most average Joe reviews have guys struggling to get things working.

I can shoot 300-350 rpm without any cheesy gimmicks which is fast enough for me.

As a machine gunner by trade it's all in the shooter, like most things...but yeah, there's very little practicality to such things.

Full auto is fun. 3 round burst is fun. Feeding them ammo to keep the good times going isn't.

A little more internet research may be in order. In the right hands the Geislle S3G is just as fast. For alot less$

 

[ClayCow]

My auto trigger is my finger and the only thing quicker than this finger is well....

First full auto is fun. Next since most of us cannot afford $10,000 +++ for full auto rifles, then the bumpfire style stocks work good for a reasonable price. The TacCom trigger does not seem to work good at all, per most of the reviews.

The SlideFire and BumpFire stocks do work well, with a little practice. The BumpFire is very similar to the SlideFire, at half the cost. It was not available when I bought my SlideFire, which interchanges between my M&P 15/22, M&P 15T, and DPMS AR-10. The 22 is the rifle that needs the most concentration on keeping a very minor amount of forward push on the handguard, so that it works correctly with the low recoil. The 556 and 762 have enough recoil that the stock works for almost anyone using it, even inexperienced users. They get lots of coaching and only a few rounds in the mag, until they are competent. That is how the instructor got killed teaching a young girl full auto with an Uzi, he used a full mag and she couldn't control the muzzle.

I agree that dumping full rounds is a waste, but I can easily control bursts of 3, 4, and 5 rounds. As far as accuracy is concerned, I can easily keep my 556 rounds in a 12 inch circle, at 50 yards at full auto rate, not just bursts You have to have a good stance and lean into the recoil, but you can control the muzzle. The AR-10 has a LOT more recoil and is not near as manageable. The 22 is very easy to control, but harder to keeps the full auto sustained. I have done slow motion video and the AR-10/AR-15 are in the 500/600 range of rounds per minute. The 22 has a slightly higher RPM count. I only have a few of the new Magpul 40 round mags for the AR-15 and 25 round mags for the AR-10. I do have a couple of 50 round drums for the 15/22.

I don't use the SlideFire often, but if you haven't shot full auto, then the bumpfire style stocks offer a near full auto experience, at an affordable price point. I have read a lot of negatives about "a waste of ammo/money, etc.", but until you've tried it, then you don't know what the attraction is. Everyone walks away with a smile on their face.

I'm betting the sound has some hard wired deeply genetic presence. Like dropping your foot to the floor in a 69 fastback mustang with a 428 cobra jet in it. Great fun but who can afford the gas/ammo?

And the Freedom Fighters LGS is 40 min drive from me. Awesome store. Good prices, good service, and a vending machine where theoretically you can win a handgun or other excellent prizes for a dollar. They recently came out with their very own branded lower.
