You just don’t have to pull them very far.
If you measured you would find that Glock has a pretty standard length of trigger travel before the striker is drawn and released. The only difference is that the 1st 1/2 of the pull is lighter than the second half. A smith & wesson auto will only have a couple more pounds of force required than a glock, where S&W tends to put a 10-11 pound trigger pull on thier pistols.
If someone is relying on the trigger pull weight or length of travel for thier safe gun handling practices then they are violating a fundamental rule of gun safety by having their finger on the trigger when they ought not to.
So why was this guy suspended again? Cause clearly he couldn't have fired by mistake - the gun itself must've malfunctioned! Plus they also put their lives on the line and all that other bullsh*t.
He needs the police version , Glock 80 pound trigger.
