So it's the New Year. You've set your resolutions. Maybe you're gonna hit the gym. Maybe you’re gonna read more books. Maybe you’re gonna stop yelling at your scope like it can hear you. All noble goals.
But here’s one resolution you probably didn’t think about:
Upgrade your trigger.
Yeah, we said it. While you’re over here trying to eat more kale and drink less beer, your poor trigger is still pulling like it’s stuck in molasses. At C.A.R. Firearms in Kent, WA, we believe 2026 is the year of precision—and it all starts with a crisp, clean, professionally upgraded trigger.
Let’s be honest. Most factory triggers are about as refined as a sledgehammer. They’re heavy, they’re gritty, and the reset is longer than your cousin’s conspiracy theories at Thanksgiving dinner.
Here’s what happens with a stock trigger:
You pull.
You wait.
Something clicks.
Your shot’s gone rogue and the deer’s still laughing at you.
Sound familiar?
Upgrading your trigger isn’t just about showing off at the range. It’s about accuracy, speed, and control. It’s about consistency, so when you squeeze that trigger, you know exactly what’s gonna happen—and when.
It’s like dating. If the relationship is unpredictable and too much work… maybe it’s time for something better.
Alright, let’s break it down. What are you actually getting with a trigger upgrade at C.A.R. Firearms?
Say goodbye to the 8-pound finger workout. A lighter trigger means less muscle, more finesse. You’re not trying to Hulk-smash your way through a shot—you’re finessing that baby like a mic drop.
Nobody likes a lazy reset. With a tuned trigger, your follow-up shots are quicker, smoother, and just plain more fun. And if you’re running drills, you’ll notice the difference immediately.
No more mush. No more “is it gonna go now?” vibes. Just click. Bang. Smile. That’s the rhythm we’re going for.
The less the trigger moves after the break, the more control you keep. Precision shooting is about tight movements and zero surprises. Just like parallel parking. Kinda.
At C.A.R. Firearms, we don’t do “one-size-fits-kinda.” We tailor your upgrade to fit your firearm, your shooting style, and your goals. You bring the gun—we bring the know-how.
Got a decent trigger but it’s just not behaving? We can clean it up, polish contact points, and reduce friction. Think of it like sending your trigger to therapy—it’ll come back better adjusted.
Want to drop in a Geissele, Timney, or Rise Armament trigger? We’ll install it the right way. No wiggle, no guesswork, and definitely no duct tape.
Want to customize your pull weight down to the ounce? We’ll dial it in. Great for competition shooters or anyone trying to shave fractions off their performance.
Because if it’s not safe, it’s not happening. Every trigger job gets tested and verified. It’s Kent. It’s Washington. We don’t play around with safety.
This isn’t just for fancy-pants competition shooters. Trigger upgrades work wonders on:
AR-15 / AR-10 platforms
Bolt-action hunting rifles
Semi-auto pistols (Glock, Sig, Smith & Wesson—you name it)
Shotguns (yes, tactical setups too)
AK variants (with a little extra work, but we love the challenge)
Whether you’re prepping for competition, hunting season, or just want to finally enjoy the feeling of a solid trigger pull, we’re here for it.
Still not sure? Here's a quick checklist. If any of these apply, it’s time to pay us a visit in Kent:
You’ve pulled the trigger and nothing happened... for a while
You can hear it creak when you press it
You shoot low left every time and swear it’s “not you”
The reset is somewhere in the next ZIP code
Your buddy said, “Whoa, that’s rough” and meant it
That’s not character. That’s a problem. Let’s fix it.
We’ve been in the gunsmith game long enough to know when a trigger needs love and when it needs replacing entirely. And we’ve helped hundreds of Kent shooters get tighter groups, smoother performance, and—let’s be real—a lot more confidence.
Here’s what sets us apart:
