The TriggerTech Diamond<\/strong> is a premium Canadian precision trigger, manufactured by TriggerTech Inc., designed for competitive shooters and demanding hunters. Available for many bolt-action and semi-automatic rifle platforms, it is distinguished by its patented Frictionless Release Technology (FRT), guaranteeing a clean and constant start, without noticeable snag.<\/p>\n\n

History and Development of the TriggerTech Diamond<\/h2>\n

TriggerTech was founded in 2014 in Canada, in Pickering, Ontario, with the ambition to reinvent the traditional trigger mechanism. The company has developed its Frictionless Release Technology, which replaces the classic slippery friction between the sear and hammer with a loose roller, eliminating the drag inherent in conventional releases. This innovation quickly appealed to the marksmanship (PRS, F-Class) and benchrest communities in the United States and Canada. <\/p>\n

The Diamond range is the pinnacle of the TriggerTech offering, positioned above the Primary and Special models. Launched in 2016, it was designed to meet the needs of high-level competitors who demand an ultra-light, perfectly repeatable start and a short reset. The Diamond is now available for platforms such as Remington 700, Tikka T3\/T3x, Ruger 10\/22, AR-15, AR-10, Savage, Mossberg Patriot, Howa 1500, as well as many custom precision actions. <\/p>\n\n

Operation and Technical Particularities<\/h2>\n

The heart of the TriggerTech Diamond is Frictionless Release Technology<\/em>. In a conventional trigger, the sear slides against the hammer or striker when pressing, which generates variable friction depending on the quality of the machining and lubrication. This drag is responsible for the feeling of “creep” and inconstancy between successive departures. <\/p>\n

TriggerTech replaced this sliding contact with a free roller interposed between the sear and the hammer. When the trigger tail is pressed, this roller tilts rather than slipping, virtually eliminating friction. The result is an exceptionally sharp start, perceived as a “glass break”, perfectly repeatable from one blow to the next. <\/p>\n

The Diamond can be adjusted entirely from the outside thanks to an Allen screw that can be accessed without disassembling the trigger of the barrel or the action. This feature is valuable in competition, where the shooter can fine-tune his setting between two relays. The adjustment range is from 4 oz (approx. 113 g) to 32 oz (approx. 907 g) depending on the model, with some “R” (Range) versions offering wider ranges and “Hunter” versions being calibrated higher for hunting. <\/p>\n\n

Variants and Versions<\/h2>\n

The Diamond range is available in several configurations depending on the platform and use:<\/p>\n

Diamond Single-Stage: Classic single-stroke<\/strong> version, typical range from 4 to 32 oz, ideal for benchrest and PRS. Diamond Two-Stage: a two-stroke<\/strong> version, with a first soft grip and then a wall before the estate, particularly popular with F-Class shooters and military long-range shooters. Diamond AR Primary<\/strong> : suitable for AR-15 and AR-10 platforms (drop-in), it directly replaces the original trigger without machining. Diamond Tikka T3x<\/strong> : specific version for the Tikka T3 and T3x shares, which are very popular in Switzerland for hunting and sport shooting. Diamond 10\/22<\/strong> : version for Ruger 10\/22 rifles and clones (rimfire competitions). Diamond Hunter<\/strong> : Hunting version calibrated for higher starting weights (1-4 lbs), with enhanced safety. <\/p>\n\n

Users and Armed Forces<\/h2>\n

The TriggerTech Diamond is primarily used by civilian shooters in the Precision Rifle Series (PRS), National Rifle League (NRL), F-Class, benchrest, and long-range shooting disciplines. It also equips many high-end hunting rifles in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. Several specialized units of the North American armed forces and police have equipped some of their precision platforms with TriggerTech triggers, but the brand communicates little about these contracts. The Diamond is also a frequent choice of custom gunsmiths (Cadex, Accuracy International, GA Precision) who offer it as an option on their builds. <\/p>\n\n

Civil Possession in Switzerland<\/h2>\n

In Switzerland, the TriggerTech Diamond is available from specialist gunsmiths and online dealers as a spare part. Being a simple mechanical part intended to replace an original trigger, it is not individually subject to a weapons acquisition permit: it is the weapon to which it will be installed that determines the applicable legal regime. In accordance with the Federal Weapons Act (Arms Act), the possession of the receiving rifle (Tikka, Remington 700, AR-15 semi-automatic, etc.) requires a weapons acquisition permit issued by the competent cantonal authority. The general conditions include: being at least 18 years old, not being under guardianship of general application, and not presenting a reason for refusal within the meaning of Art. 8 (2) Arms Act. For semi-automatic rifles that fall into the category of prohibited weapons since the 2019 revision, an exceptional cantonal permit is required. The trigger must always be mounted by a qualified gunsmith to preserve the safety of the weapon. <\/p>\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

In less than a decade, the TriggerTech Diamond has established itself as one of the world’s leading figures in precision release, thanks to a major mechanical innovation (Frictionless Release Technology) that pushes the limits of regularity and finesse of the start. Present on the podiums of the main long-distance shooting competitions and adopted by the most prestigious custom gunsmiths, it illustrates the ability of a young Canadian brand to revolutionize a component that was thought to have been frozen for decades. For the demanding Swiss shooter, it represents a relevant and sustainable upgrade, capable of transforming the shooting experience of a quality rifle. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":4867,"template":"elementor_theme","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-5057","wiki","type-wiki","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nextgun.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wiki\/5057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nextgun.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wiki"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nextgun.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/wiki"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nextgun.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wiki\/5057\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5058,"href":"https:\/\/nextgun.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wiki\/5057\/revisions\/5058"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nextgun.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nextgun.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
