Now that I've had some time behind the gun with this trigger installed, it's time for a key update.
I've owned/tried several G triggers and many other brands. For high-end triggers, I tend to prefer a lighter weight pull and that usually means using a lighter spring. The S3G comes with two spring weights for the trigger and one for the hammer.
I decided to try this trigger with the lighter black spring first and that's when I wrote my "Soft Crisp" review. Let's be clear, no matter what spring you use, this is a super fast trigger! However, I am going to advocate using the heavy gold spring because the reset is so strong that it gives a forced reset effect that aids in quicker follow-up shots. I know it's impossible with this design, but somehow the pull feels lighter than the reset. With some practice, the split times are going to be even faster with the heavier spring.
After break-in, the light spring gave a very light 2.75# average pull weight. This is down about 0.5lb from brand new install. Geissele said that when the springs settle the pull would lighten up and they did. I had no malfs of any kind with the light spring.
