JKL labradar trigger

toolbox

Gold $$ Contributor
Just a shout out for great customer service from JKL precision for my labradar trigger. After a few quick diagnostics, they shipped a replacement trigger out fast and free. Thanks Joel for a great product and great customer service.
 
Been using mine for the last couple/three months. No more false triggering (not that it caused problems, but still.)

Toolbox: What was yours doing? Nothing?
 
The JKL kinetic trigger is a great addition to the LabRadar. Can you tell us what yours was [or wasn't] doing or how it was behaving that necessitated having it replaced? Thanks.
 
I love mine as well. It has made the unit much more reliable. I no longer pick up someone else stray shot and it rarely misses one.
 
My issue with the JKL trigger is it is TOO sensitive. It picks up the closing of the bolt sometimes. I have to play with it to get it to function perfect from day to day. Lately I haven’t been using it because the range has been so empty I’m the only guy there.

Raises a question: Does the trigger sensitivity setting still affect the triggering when using an external trigger device? Might have to play with mine (though I have no idea how I'd do any sort of calibrated vibration...)

The setting does seem to still effect the way the JKL trigger seems to perform.

An external trigger plugged into the front jack is supposed to defeat the internal microphone/acoustic sensor. Because the sensitivity settings are present to control the internal microphone, I would think that using an external trigger would also render the sensitivity settings inoperable. But I don't know that with certainty and it could certainly be tested. Alternatively, a call to the LabRadar folks would also answer that question definitively. They have been very helpful the couple times I have called them with questions.
 
I only use the trigger for suppressed rifles. My JKL also failed, and I replaced it with a used Piet. I have had no issues with the Piet other than the occasional false triggers when closing the bolt.

I place the LabRadar about a foot in front and a foot to the left of the muzzle. I rarely if ever get a failure to trigger. I would probably get a false trigger if someone was shooting very close to me.
 
Have been using JLK trigger for a while now and yes adjusting internal trigger settings. Say to 5-6. Will make trigger not so sensitive to gun move ment by the shooter
