How did you adjust the thickness of the trigger stop without dry firing the pistol?Checker4Tix said:Prestaging has another disadvantage. A trigger stop that is too thick - i.e., one that would allow prestaging - makes for a much heavier trigger pull. I installed my first White trigger stop that way by mistake. It was just a bit too thick, and I discovered that I could prestage the trigger and do final aiming. But I also discovered that my trigger finger was getting very tired. To release the hammer I was having to compress the trigger stop. My swag estimate of trigger pull was over 10 pounds.
So, out came the Dremel and I trimmed down the stop till the trigger break was just in front of it. There is zero travel after the break, the trigger is much lighter, and my groups tightened up substantially - especially when doing rapid fire practice. Rapid fire with the poorly adjusted stop was essentially impossible, BTW.

JFB, you point out something that's been on my mind lately.JFB said:I would have a problem with the use of such, especially as described to allow "prestaging"
The P3ATs "safety" is the long trigger pull. I would not want to get into the habit of partially pulling the trigger, then holding.
that would be acceptable with a hunting or target situation, but in a stressfull situation, it could lead to a ND
Also somehow prestage related to self defense sounds too much like premeditated![]()
