Do any of you guys have anything on your trigger to help you pull it? I have a trigger shoe now, but was wondering if there is anything better? http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-gunfighter-yellow.gif

Hey, Hunting Dog...

I don&#39;t use any trigger mechanisms, but i do know of a few guys that do. I&#39;ll see if I can get them to come to this forum, and post up.

Right now is use a trigger shoe that most people use on a rifle. It just goes over the trigger, and sets with allan head screws, it&#39;s about 1/2 inch wide. I need something a little wider to make it easyer to pull triger, because ican&#39;t bend my fingers all the way, another word i can&#39;t make a fist. Or is there a way to make the triger easyer to pull by lighter spring in the triger mec? it is a rem 1100

Huntin dog,
Would a wider shoe help you? A welding shop could add to your shoe but I am not sure this would be safe?

I might could rig up a car door lock solenoid that would mount on your belt and have external cable in tube to trigger acuate trigger. This would keep weight of solenoid / battery off of shotgun.
Then have a 3 open switchs in series for safety.
One would be a cheek /face contacting stock.
Another would be a index finger touching trigger switch to fire.
And a third toggle to disabled solenoid system.
Kinda home made but it could be done easier than it sounds? I sent you an email.
Happy hunting
James

How about a trigger activator from access to recreation. Here is the link. Scroll way down and you&#39;ll find the item.

Otherwise, let me know as I&#39;m digging into this issue right now. My MS has gone to the point where it&#39;s pretty tough to pull the trigger, even with my good hand. I couldn&#39;t use this activator on my encore but a kind fellow on another forum sent me one he had built that will work well as long as I can find a decently priced sipnpuff switch for it. So far, they are looking at over $200 just for a switch!

Anyway, the activator works well on all of my guns with fixed trigger guards and its reasonable at 40 bucks. I am trying other stuff as well and whatever I find that is a good possibility, I will put in the adaptations section of my site.

Afarcry,
I have never had my hands on a s&p switch but:
I think an automotive distrubutor advance diapram and a toggle switch on a board would work.
Part maybe 20$

Thanks for the idea, James. I got a PM back from the fellow who gave me the solenoid. He described how to make one with a little contact switch between a couple tounge depressors. Gotta try it as it sounds perfect.

I have heard of using wooden cloth pin for switch. Wire a contact on each piece so when cloth pin is depressed by biting down it closes circuit.
Happy days guy

Gentleman, Thanks for all your looking into this for me. I have talked to my gun smith, he has a lighter spring were going to try in the trigger first. If that do work i will get back with ya. Again thanks for all your help. Sound like some really smart dudes http://www.jesseshunting.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smiley-idea-blu.gif

We&#39;re in this together, bud...

As you can tell, what someone doesn&#39;t think of, someone else usually does!

And it&#39;s definitely a plus, when we can come up with something to save a few $$$&#39;s.

Good luck, and keep us posted!

Later,
Rick

Excellent! I hope the lighter trigger pull does the trick for you. Either way, questions like yours are great because so many ideas come from the replies. Thanks for asking!

I have the triggers on most of my guns lightened but it can be hard to find a gunsmith thats willing to do it. It&#39;s a liability thing for them.
