What could modifying triggers to be less than 1lb lead to?

Modifying triggers to a weight of less than 1 pound can lead to unintentional discharges primarily because such a light trigger pull requires minimal pressure to engage. This sensitivity can increase the risk of accidental firing, especially during handling, when a shooter may not have a proper grip or control over the firearm.

In conditions where the trigger is very light, even slight movements or unintended contact can lead to the firearm discharging unexpectedly, creating a significant safety issue. This is particularly critical in dynamic situations where the shooter has to make quick movements. Therefore, while there could be arguments for increased accuracy or improved performance with lighter triggers in skilled hands, the foremost concern with such a modification is the heightened potential for unintentional discharges. Safety protocols and a strong understanding of firearm handling are essential when considering modifications to trigger weight.
