Airsoft triggers

The trigger of an airsoft gun is a small but crucial component. Its proper functioning and integration with the rest of the mechanism determine the effectiveness and response speed of any type of firearm. Airsoft guns are also equipped with triggers, and in this case, their quality is equally important, sometimes even their appearance.

Types the airsoft trigger can be made from various materials. We have triggers made from plastic, aluminum, steel, and metal. The quality of the material and workmanship are very important parameters for this accessory. They affect the smooth operation of the trigger and its durability. For this reason, triggers cut using precise CNC machines are very popular. The airsoft market also offers both single trigger blades and sets consisting of a trigger blade and trigger guard, as well as complete trigger systems. The trigger blade can also be part of the airsoft gearbox, which is the mechanism that drives the airsoft gun. Thanks to such diversity, we can replace a larger element of our replica right away, ensuring that it consists of compatible parts, or just the single trigger.

Trigger replacement is not always done to tune the airsoft replica to improve its performance or operation. Sometimes it is purely a cosmetic procedure, as trigger blades are also produced in different colors: purple, red, or green.

Which airsoft trigger is best to choose?

If we plan to replace the trigger, when choosing a new one, we must first determine whether it fits our airsoft gun. Some triggers fit replicas from a specific category, e.g., AK or M4, but there are also triggers dedicated to specific models of guns.

The next issue is its quality. A steel or metal trigger should last longer than a plastic trigger blade. However, it is an element subjected to continuous pressure, so greater durability is certainly indicated in this case. A precisely cut trigger also usually works better, meaning it doesn't jam and disrupt our game.
