Default Another Interesting One On GB

There’s an interesting SC on GunBroker, item #924199411. It’s a decent old girl. Been restocked. What’s intriguing is it’s stamped on the right side of the receiver, “Dr Pollard’s Relaxing Trigger Pull, Patent Applied For, 7 Patented 1-5-32”. Serial no. is 223984. Apparently this was some sort of early release trigger. A new one on me. Somebody with a flinch might want to check it out.

I shot a Perazzi TM1 with a release trigger thirty years ago . When I released that abomination I shot ten feet over the bird . I couldn’t hit my ass with both hands when using a release trigger

Dumb ass question: You pull, then RELEASE the trigger to fire, right? What if the trap malfunctions or you don't want to fire, do you walk into the woods and point it a tree to release/fire into it? Sounds dangerous as all hell to me.

Yes, pull the trigger and then release to fire. If you don't shoot, you breach the gun and every things good. They are a God send for those who have developed a bad flinch. But yes, they scare the hell out of me.

When you first set it I guess you’d say you hear a distinct sound or atleast that’s been my experience . My friend that owned the TM1 at that time had just won the VA State Handicap title with the gun .

They're just not natural. Like skeet shooting.
