The Walther PPQ was IMO the first genuinely good trigger for a striker-fired pistol. The Caracal was supposed to be near its equal (never fired one), but the Caracal is more or less a ghost now in the U.S.. I shoot a VP9 in matches, and although I operate the trigger well, I can't help but think every now and then how kind of crappy it feels relative to my ShadowLine with CZC Comp Hammer that I did, or the 97BE David did for me. The VP9 is good for a striker, but it's not outright good. The PPQ is.
The PPQ has a clean break. The pull weight is about 4.5 pounds, but it's one of those clean breaks that makes it feel like much less. Striker-fired pistols tend to have spongy, creepy, stagy, stacking triggers. The PPQ does not.
The PPQ also has a very short reset. And between the short reset and the short, clean break, there were some reports soon after its release of people bump-firing it during matches, where the recoil was shifting the pistol enough in the hand to allow the trigger to reset, then when the pistol lurched back forward when the slide slammed back home, it depressed the trigger and bang. Surprise!
Anyway, MAC compares the P-10 trigger positively to the PPQ trigger and comments on the extremely short reset. Then he had an AD double at 12:27, seemingly at a full-auto RoF, so I'm wondering if maybe the trigger is as short and clean and with as short a reset as he is claiming, like the PPQ.
I can dream.
