What Is the Trifling Trigger™?

Every TM22 Feather, Flash, and Metal ships with our proprietary flat-faced Trifling Trigger™ — a ~2 lb pull that is, frankly, almost insulting to measure. A touch of take-up leads into a crisp, clean break with a fast, positive reset, so your finger is always ready before the target is.

We call it Trifling because that's exactly what it is. A pull weight so slight it barely deserves the gauge. Light. Consistent. Repeatable. The kind of pull that surprises you the first time you dry-fire it and spoils you every time after.

Comes with our flat-faced, ~2 lb pull Trifling Trigger™ — so light it's almost insulting to measure. Minimal take-up leads into a crisp, clean break with a fast, positive reset, so your finger is always ready before the target is.

Why Are We Talking About It Now?

Because we felt it was worth saying out loud.

The TM22 has always shipped this way. The Feather, Flash, and Metal have all come with the Trifling Trigger™ from day one — this isn't a new feature or an upgrade. It's simply what we build into the gun. We wanted to make note of it because the market tells a different story: comparable trigger pull weights on other platforms often require significant investment in aftermarket components just to reach a similar feel. Our proprietary design gets you there straight out of the box.

For reference: All TM22 semi-automatic models benefit from a notably light trigger pull. The Trifling Trigger™ designation speaks specifically to the Feather, Flash, and Metal — but the TM22 family as a whole is no stranger to a more responsive feel than you'd typically expect.

Three Models. One Standard.

The Trifling Trigger™ ships across our three featured semi-automatic variants. Each brings its own character — the trigger is the constant.

TM22 Feather

Ultralight build. The Trifling Trigger™ pairs its already featherlight frame with a pull to match — a ~2 lb flat-faced break that makes the whole package feel like it was designed to disappear in your hands.

Trifling Trigger™ Standard

TM22 Flash

The TM22 Flash moves fast — and so does its Trifling Trigger™. Quick reset, crisp break, and a flat face that keeps your pull consistent from first shot to last.

Trifling Trigger™ Standard

TM22 Metal

Aluminum receiver. Serious build. The Trifling Trigger™ gives the Metal's no-nonsense platform a pull weight that is just as direct — minimal take-up, clean break, fast reset.

Trifling Trigger™ Standard

What Does It Actually Feel Like?

Honest answer: there's a touch of take-up as you work through the pull — that's part of the design. But what follows is a clean, consistent break and a reset that is fast and positive. The flat face distributes your finger's pressure evenly, giving you repeatable trigger placement shot after shot.

It's the kind of trigger that surprises you the first time you dry-fire it and spoils you every time after. Light. Repeatable. Ready.

The Bottom Line

The Trifling Trigger™ isn't an add-on, an upgrade tier, or a limited run. It's standard. It ships with your rifle. It's been there the whole time.

Some guns make you earn a great trigger. The TM22 just hands you one.
