FWIW, I have a Wilson Combat 3-gun trigger that has a light and ultra short reset. Can run REALLY fast rates w/ it - in the same league as the tapcon. There is no comparison between it and the bumpski stock on my AK for faux-auto (Disclaimer: I have a $50 ALG trigger in it which is lightyears better than a stock AK trigger.) Anyone can make the bumpski run like a champ in less than a mag. Pulling a trigger rapidly takes FAR more training and really still feels just like firing a semi-auto quickly because thats all it is. The bumpski gets huge grins when I bring it out - no fine motor control required. I have real FA toys to compare against.
While not in the same league as the Tac-Con, I have a Geissele super dynamic three gun that is pretty fast. I can put a .22lr upper on it and a slide fire stock and bumpfire like crazy. Hard to do that with ordinary triggers, no prob at all for SD3G.
It was pretty obvious they were not going to be able to sustain that $500 introduction price or even the $350 price...and now it goes to $250.
If they used the Ginsu Knife Doctrine and went to $199.99 they would see sales and revenue skyrocket IMHO.
To those unfamiliar with it, here is a Post from Nov 21, 2013:
Just in case someone wants to research the topic, the bumpfire trigger noted above is the AKINS Accelerator, not Atkins.
According to the maker, it is a NOT bump fire trigger, but is a very SHORT reset trigger, requiring the operator to get off rapid shots with repeated quick pulls on the trigger--much like a Glock. Their claim is the trigger pull stays at 4.5 lbs but is fast because the trigger travel distance is minuscule.
Below is the text of a letter from the company to someone on AR15.com inquiring about the product:

Still learning
I see a lot of stuff identifying these as .223/5.56 specific. I assume they'd work in a 300BO AR15 too, right?
Considering it's the same bolt I can't imagine it wouldn't.

My reasoning too.
