    If everyone complains and bickers about trigger creep and slack, why do manufacturers continue to make it a standard feature on firearms?

    Is it a liability issue that they can get around by having after market triggers, passing it on to the aftermarket trigger maker, and why isn't the secondary parts maker affected by the liability issue?

    Aftermarket triggers are contingent on proper fitting. Says so with each part you buy, disclaiming liability except against materials and initial workmanship. The manufacturers are turning out triggers in working firearms so there is the implied liability. It takes time to fit a good fire control system so the manufacturers build a reliable system that is safe and typically on the heavy side and also doesn't add tremendously to production cists. That way they can market the product at the desired price point. Upper end pistols typically have better (and good) triggers because the price point is higher thus the extra labor is included in the pistols cost.

    That said, some builders do have decent triggers be design, though not match grade. Ruger's LCR, fir example has a decent DA pull. All in design and production. Ruger doesn't allow files in the floor where the lockwork is fitted. There are one or two parts (hand is one) which are available in different dimensions to allow the correct fit to be achieved. Not match grade but still a good pull at a production price.

    Pretty much. With all of the lawsuits in the past trying to implicate the manufacturers, they are being a bit over cautious. With aftermarket parts, the liability is on you, as you're the one making the change, not the gun company.
