There are a few versions of this trigger, from flat to curved variations and from 3- to 4.5-lb. pulls, and you will have a choice of NP3 coating much like the factory SAINT Victor Rifle has or black nitride. If you don\u2019t know, NP3 coatings not only look good, it makes for a trigger that is easy to clean and provides a level of lubricity.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-33110\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/comparing-Blackout-Defense-AR-triggers.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/comparing-Blackout-Defense-AR-triggers-800x397.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/comparing-Blackout-Defense-AR-triggers-400x199.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/comparing-Blackout-Defense-AR-triggers-768x381.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"695\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/comparing-Blackout-Defense-AR-triggers.jpg\" alt=\"comparing Blackout Defense AR triggers\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/comparing-Blackout-Defense-AR-triggers.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/comparing-Blackout-Defense-AR-triggers-800x397.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/comparing-Blackout-Defense-AR-triggers-400x199.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/comparing-Blackout-Defense-AR-triggers-768x381.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption>The Zero trigger features a \u201ccassette\u201d style design that allows for easy <span class=\"nowrap\">drop-in installation.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Nothing But Tough Choices<\/h2>\n<p>The decision to add a custom trigger can be a daunting one with so many options out there today.

There will be big differences in not only pull weight, but trigger design and materials. You will also need to determine if you want a two-stage or single-stage trigger.

They are named the \u201cZero\u201d because they have practically no movement while installed in a mil-spec lower when on safe. This is far different from what you will find on mil-spec triggers and even some aftermarket drop-in triggers. And when you disengage that safety, the pull and reset will again remind you of why it is called the Zero.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-33112\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/testing-the-blackout-trigger-on-the-range.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/testing-the-blackout-trigger-on-the-range-800x499.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/testing-the-blackout-trigger-on-the-range-400x249.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/testing-the-blackout-trigger-on-the-range-768x479.jpg.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"873\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/testing-the-blackout-trigger-on-the-range.jpg\" alt=\"testing the blackout trigger on the range\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/testing-the-blackout-trigger-on-the-range.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/testing-the-blackout-trigger-on-the-range-800x499.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/testing-the-blackout-trigger-on-the-range-400x249.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/testing-the-blackout-trigger-on-the-range-768x479.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption>The Blackout Defense trigger proved to be a real winner in the author\u2019s Springfield Armory SAINT\u00a0rifle.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The trigger housings are made of aerospace-grade aluminum.

The only problem you are going to encounter is the bill for the ammunition you are going to blow through on the range. Speaking of that, for testing I used Norma 51-gr. \u201cRange &amp; Training\u201d frangible ammo, and it ran great. A huge \u201cthank you\u201d to Norma for supplying the awesome ammo to test the Blackout trigger and take my personal SAINT Victor rifle to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>Also, no trigger evaluation would be complete without testing the pull weight of the trigger to see how close to the manufacturer\u2019s weight rating it will come.
