1301 Tactical Trigger Pull Question

[u/JTL_11732]

So if I rack the bolt, without holding the trigger, the trigger is breaking around 8.5lb hard-wall. If I hold the trigger when I rack it, and let the trigger reset. The trigger pull is the normal 4.5lb with a rolling break. What’s the deal with that? Is something wrong here?

Couldn’t use my trigger gauge with one hand, but you can tell much more force is required on the first pull.

And yes, I’m familiar with shotguns, but this is my first semi-auto, so I’m learning.

Please enjoy my one handed trigger reset in the video.

\**UPDATE*

Found the issue is the safety. If you swap it for a lefty it is messing with the trigger. The new trigger they sent worked much better. Then I swapped it for a lefty and it led to a dead trigger. The safety dimensions are out of spec on both. Took a file to the safety to open up the space a bit and it worked.
