Lately, our society has been plagued by words and phrases that, while seemingly common, often cause confusion or frustration, even leading to occasional gunfire. Of course, I am talking about “single-stage” and “two-stage” rifle triggers and the difficulty in deciding between them. For much of firearms history, trigger selection was like riding an amusement park monorail—we were along for the ride on a course we did not plot: “Next stop, crappy Mil-Spec with 12-pound pull weight and 10 pounds of grit.”

| Writer still couldn't get it right. It's most likely the double action and single action trigger terms that cause confusion. If ignorant on the topic, don't spout off in print. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
