Tyrant Designs sent me out one of their SIG P320 triggers. This trigger is nothing like Tyrant’s other trigger designs. It is a flat faced design with a finger hook at the bottom. The P320 trigger has a colored insert in the trigger itself. This insert also has the typical Tyrant design on the rear of the trigger.
The Tyrant Designs P320 trigger comes in a few options. Or should I say color options. The trigger itself can be had in Black or Gold anodizing. Then there is the option for the trigger insert. The insert comes in 5 different color options: Black, Gold, Blue, Red, or Grey. A neat thing about the insert is that it puts a line of color down the center of the trigger face, if you choose a different color then the trigger itself. I chose a Black trigger with a Grey insert. It adds just a touch of color to the look. This insert also covers most of the back side of the trigger. On the back side, it has Tyrant’s typical arrow shaped cuts. It looks really good.
As mentioned, the P320 trigger is a flat faced design. So the main part of the trigger’s face is flat. Then Tyrant puts a hook at the bottom of the trigger. I really like the trigger design. The flat face gives an even pull and the hook keeps my finger from moving downward. I noticed that the trigger breaks about perpendicular to the frame. This gives a nice even, repeatable break. One of my favorite things about this trigger is the texture. It’s not really a texture, but you can definitely feel that the face is not smooth. I relate it to how a bead blasted texture feels. It gives grip, without adding a machined in texture.
Tyrant designed the P320 trigger to have a reduction in overall travel. In fact, it’s a 10% reduction in overall pull length. Yes, you can feel that it is slightly shorter than the stock trigger pull. However, it still has a lot of over-travel. I wish they would have installed an over-travel stop, but they didn’t. Pre-travel may be a little shorter than the factory SIG, but I can’t really say because I forgot to measure it before installing the Tyrant Designs trigger.
One might ask, how is the trigger pull? It is pretty good. There is some slight pre-travel, as aforementioned. Then you hit a wall and the trigger breaks cleanly, followed by a bunch of over-travel. The break itself is really short! Reset is really good also. There is no changing of the factory P320 springs, so I expected the reset to be good. Now, Tyrant doesn’t say their trigger will do this, but in my SIG, it dropped the trigger pull weight by approximately 0.5 lbs. So I am now sitting at 4.75 lbs. This trigger made the P320 easier to shoot for me.
I really like what Tyrant Designs did in their SIG P320 trigger. It has a really good “feel” to it. Plus it has Tyrant's typical look to it. Go check out the P320 trigger from Tyrant Designs. After all, it’s a decent trigger design.
