    Posted: 26 July 2005 at 5:34pm

Im not saying all the time, but in one game once I am lefty and obviously shooting on the left side of the trigger on the side of the safety, in a massive firefight 2 againist 1 (me) I hit the safety with my side of my arm 4 times.

I was curious if I got the EGrip/JCS Duel Trigger would that eliminate my problem? (I want the egrip for increased speed anyways) The JCS Duel Trigger if I am not mistaken you have to push the trigger forward then press the safety button..

So even if the side of my hand hit it wouldnt it not go to safety? I was curious if what I think would prevent this problem from happneing.

Please post back here if you know the answer thanks!

I dont have it yet so I am not sure how it is laid out I know the regular trigger will do that, but there is something about the JCS Duel Trigger, which makes you push it up first then safety first (at least that is what I have heard).

Ignoring the fact that if you're shooting left handed your arm doesn't even come close to the safety, unless you're a contorsionist.  Simply train yourself not to do that.

won't work, i'm pretty sure the holes are diffrent sizes in the gun halves

EDIT- that's the way it is on the 98C not sure about the A-5

Yeah it didn't work, I guess afterall it isn't bad it occasionally happens but only if I make a really really high jerk with the gun.

I think that is the best advice to train myself not to do it, because I noticed that is possible to do.

I dont think that is neccesary now, I was dry firing in the basement very fast, and I wasn't hitting it.  I am going to an indoor field tom. I will test it out to make sure it doesn't happen.
