Who makes the best out of the box trigger in a semi auto?

[searcher451]

+1 on the Walther P99 and P99C AS trigger, which is excellent out of the box and only improves with time. At 300 rounds, it's a dream to shoot.

Loop,

Great story. I just got back from the range with my Witness Elite Match .45. Lordy, for the money, what a pistol. I am a diehard 1911 guy, and really love my CZ's too.

I bought the Witness because of all the positives I have read about the "Match" series. This Witness is quickly moving to top of my "best" list. I just had to get over the name (Tanfoglio) and the "what is that" questions from others.

Great gun.

Thanks fellas. I spent some time at my local gun store today handling things. I'm more interested in something in a compact size, as it will be my summer carry rig. (I have a 4" S&W 686 for the winter and a 7" S&W 629 for the mountains.) I think an Elite Match would be too bulky, but it sure would be sweet. I saw a Witness in a standard compact, it was nice- and inexpensive. I also really liked the Baby Eagle compact, but not so much the slide safety. What I didn't see which I'd like to is a CZ 75 P-01. I'm leaning towards 9mm because it's fun and cheap to shoot. We'll see what I end up with

Ed Browns. All the triggers I've sampled were light and very crisp.

The SIG X5 also has a very respectable trigger out of the box.

Best Trigger (Out Of The Box)

I do believe that the smoothest DAO I have ever pulled is Para Ordinance. It is the very definition of smooth and the pricing won't require a key to Fort Knox!

Unless you tighten up the criteria, I would have to say it would be a tossup between any of the pistols made for international rapid pistol-Hammerli, Pardini, Benelli, Walther, etc. Not to mention the triggers are fully adjustable with screw for adjustments most shooters have never heard of.

Yup. Nothing else mentioned here is even in the same league.

Everything is relevant. Me...I detest SA/DA. As a revolver person...I seek DAO pistols. I like to keep my training uniform on all weapons to begin with...and once accustomed to a fine DAO revovler...it is very difficult, at least for me, to retrain to SA or DA/SA. The only all steel platforms worth mentioning are the Para and Kahr triggers which I understand are very nice. I guess one could have a Sig gunsmithed to DAO if one wanted to go through all the trouble.

there are alloooottt of factory sigs that are dao

Out of the box?

No questions on this one:

Sig and the 210 series. These triggers for production guns put virtually every 1911 or other triggers I have worked to shame. Even my Baer's feel rough in comparison.

 

[retgarr]

the STI Spartan has a very good trigger. Better than the kimbers in my opinion. I have to say though that this is the area that my cz75 is lacking bit too much slack in SA and the break could be cleaner.

I'll break away from the 1911 majority and vote for Kahr and their ultra smooth DAO trigger - I haven't felt anything similar OTB.
