EZ Pull Trigger Assist

Does anybody know much about this product, or preferably, actually used one?

It's sold as a means of reducing trigger pull without getting your trigger re-worked or replaced. Anybody know what this type of work costs? The trigger assist runs about $40.

Thanks for any information.

Never heard of it - can you provide a link or a description?

I'm thinking it must be like a pulley system where the doubling up reduces the work???

I don't know and I'm just guessing by looking at the website. I'd never heard of or seen such a thing before.

Let us know how it works out, eh? Seems to be a fairly simple lever device - but the "technical" details on the website leave a lot to be desired.

For an quick and easy fix for minor trigger issues, or to make the crisp ones feel even lighter, a trigger shoe can help. It is basically a chunk of metal or plastic that you attach directly to the trigger, which is wider than the factory trigger and gives you a larger surface area for the trigger finger. I used to have one on my target rifle, and installed one on my varmint gun.

Interesting, very interesting.

If I had a bolt gun, I would be more inclined to go with an aftermarket trigger by Timney.

I do have a couple of older Remington 742 semi-autos, and I am intrigued to maybe try one of these. I absolutely hate the triggers on these guns, and a lot of gun-smiths won't touch them. You can get aftermarket triggers, but they are rather expensive.

I think this would be cool on a shotgun for turkey hunting too.

The one question I have is this: If the existing trigger is alreay full of creep and draggy, how does this unit eliminate that?

Why not just take it to a gunsmith? The last gun I took in for trigger work was less than 100 bucks if I remember right. I was pleased with the work and I am confident with it. I get a little worried about add on stuff if you know what I mean!

The problem on my two turkey guns is that the trigger is quite crisp, like alot of shotgun or "snap-shooters" prefer. It's like I have to break a mm-thick icicle between the back of the trigger and trigger guard! Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. grin.gif

Any prices on a trigger re-work, or one of the new timneys? I'm sure I could look it up, but wondering if you know off-hand? I think the effectiveness of this product will more directly relate to dollars and cents in comparison to above options vs. actual operability.

Thanks guys!

Just checked out the website and I must say that is one cool invention. It adds length to the trigger and thus makes it easier to apply force to the hammer release machinism: it is easier to turn a bolt with a long rench than it is with a short one.

Just got one I ordered in the mail. I'll give it a whirl and let you know what I find out.

So I finally got a chance to try the dang thing out and I'm quite pleased.

Like almostthere said, "easier to turn a bolt with a long wrench than a short one."

I installed it on a Winchester semi-auto .22 I've had since I was a kid. The trigger was about the heaviest pulling one I had on any gun I own, and the EZ Pull softened it up substantially. While I haven't yanked it off and put it on one of my bigger hunting guns, I think the thing works very well.

It's solid enough to be a long-term solution by using a bit of loc-tite, and temporary enough to leapfrog from gun to gun if you'd so choose. Best part for me was that it's cheaper than a trigger re-work and much cheaper than buying a timney or whole new trigger mechanism.

They don't work on all firearms I've been told (trigger guard is too wide on certain firearms to install), so I'd check with them if interested in putting it on a specific gun. All in all I think the thing is worth checking out!

quote about a barstool i invented the ez pull trigger assist because i can change this product from rifle to rifle or to a shotgun without doing a trigger job on each individual firearm even though i have completed more than 40 yeasr of trigger jobs i can improve a quality trigger 50% without taking the bolts out of the action which changes the point of impact when retightening even when they are installed with a torque wrench things are not the same i wish i could install one on your rifle because i enjoy being able to see a person who is completely satisfied with this produdct i can machine the gears on a watch or any firearm that i have been in contace with i do not know about wholes under bar stools or how to put dots or capitols on sentences but i love to shoot and reload best wishes iggy

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
