    What aftermarket release trigger has the quickest locktime?

    "the quickest lock-time" ... would be one with a speed-lock hammer.

    The fastest 'let-off' is one of the old-style Spears release triggers with a split sear.

    I have a bunch of NOS Timney speed-lock hammers.

    The Carl Smith triggers are supposed to be at the top of the list. cl3

    The old Timney speedlocks had a reputation for being real fast. Unfortunately, the addition of the heavy hammer spring would over stress the pot metal housing and they'd often crack and crumble. There are other options but not on the 1100!

    I have never seen a Carl Smith trigger in a release, he may have made them. I have looked at them in person but never shot one because I shoot a release, and don't like the idea of a single-shot semi-auto.

    A all-steel is required for heavy springs, but a heavy hammer spring will also 'beat-up' everything else.

    It is hard to make something for a semi-auto, that is a release trigger, and fast.

    I have one of the old-style Spears release triggers with a split sear. It is as fast as
    a Perazzi trigger. I'm not using it and would sell it if somebody wants one.
