Re: Best Railgun/Pipe gun handle

The D1 handle with plastic trigger is a much better choice than the D2 with SS trigger. The handle shape is better and can easily be shaped ... and most importantly is that the trigger is plastic ... so no galling or scratching of the sears.

Many people don't know this ... but you can improve the action of the D1 trigger quite a bit by disassembling the trigger and sanding and polishing off edges of the plastic and even polishing the SS shaft sear. I would say it gives a 30% to 40% better and slicker trigger pull. Very easy to do and well worth the effort! Personally I would never use the D2 with the default SS trigger. It just won't shoot accurate! Although Pathos "fixed" things by cutting a C shape into the sear to reduce the amount of real estate the sears have to drag through each other ... that just puts a band aid on the scratching problem ... the trigger break is just not consistent. If you shoot at a target in the pool you can actually see the groups "walk" on the target as the break off point keeps changing. That absolutely does not happen with the much cheaper plastic trigger of the D1.
