There is a point where it lets you know it’s EXTREMELY close to firing and then pop. It’s not bad at all but, if you go from a normal trigger to this one it might take a few shots to remember not to pull too hard. ha

It is a good all around gun. You can turn it down for low power plinking and turn it up when you want to do some hunting.
