There's been a few threads on the subject. I don't, offhand, remember any definitive decision, one way or the other. The biggest differences seem to be a 2" longer, fluted barrel and a tighter chamber that won't take Stingers.

And don't forget the match trigger 
I would have expected more trouble chambering cheap Remington and Winchester than any CCI. I'll have to search some more as I didn't find much yet.

Have you tried one? Does that trigger compare to a good aftermarket trigger?

Well, some call it that.
It is an improvement over the stock FCG.

Actually, the dimensions on .22 LR are fairly consistent, except for rim thickness. Stingers are longer than regular .22s and won't seat in the PS's chamber.

The Rock River is an aftermarket trigger. From what I've read it's on the lower end of the market.
I once had a match single shot that would chamber anything except Remington Goldens. Their tolerances were so bad they wouldn't fit it. I never tried the Stingers and had forgotten about the length difference.
What you read is right. It's an improvement over stock but not a big one. I have one that's coming out when my Jard gets here.

I learned the hard way that match chambers are laws unto themselves, too.
I have one in my 77/22 that will eat anything, but the one in my High Standard Trophy Supramatic is very picky.

Which Jard are you getting? I have the single-stage adjustable with the 1.5 pound trigger spring. It yields a measured (Lyman digital scale) of 2.2 pounds with zero over travel and creep. I bought it used for $125 and have never regretted it. The only rifle I have with more than a 3.0 pound trigger is my National Match Garand and it's a 4.5 pound two-stage that breaks like the proverbial glass rod.

Haha I get that. But the accuracy was well worth it. That thing could chew a nickle out of the center of a target at 100 yards with even me shooting it.
I just got the exact same one and it came today. I'm going to put it on my 15-22 and see how my Slidefire works now.

I had a PC for a brief period and did not feel the extra money was justified.
However, that was awhile back and things may have improved since then. I even had sent my PC back and got the whole upper replaced(S&W decision) with little improvement.
I think the 15-22 is a fun gun, just not a tack driver.

I have one of each. the PC is somewhat ammo picky but the main issue is the OAL of the round. I found it jammed with Fed Champion but not with Fed Bulk from WM. Other than those it ran fine. However I switched out the one I use for speed shooting to the regular model simply because of that. As for the trigger the RRA was Ok, but it was not a speed trigger. The reset length and lockup time was too long for me. Trigger would freeze when trying to do really fast followup shots, even with the low power springs. It was all fixed with the Geissele Super 3-Gun trigger. Currently I am back to the lower power spring set with it, which measured 1.25# on my trigger gauge the previous time I configured it that way.
As for the Slidefire I understand you need a trigger around 3# to make it work. Most use a Timney drop in.
