New VP trigger from HKparts

I assumed it just wasn't installed in the pics. But calling it a "drop in" trigger if you have to supply and install your own safety lever seems a little disingenuous to me.

That's how any aftermarket trigger is going to come unless it has a differently designed lever... The factory components are going to be the most reliable, and adjusting the cost of these to be "complete" triggers with factory added parts would make them expensive, and then we would have people complaining that they cost to much. Id prefer it this way and just swap the factory components over... As far as "drop in" trigger, these aren't AR15s, no trigger for a handgun is a drop in 10 second job, they all require parts transfer and disassembly of some sort, but by "drop in", it means no machining or modification required beyond the transfer of parts.

Id be curious who the manufacturer is and the overall quality of the trigger. For $60 that's about 1/3-1/4 what aftermarket triggers are costing for the Glock and M&P guns, granted theirs do include more parts than these for a more complete installation. Honestly im quite satisfied with my last two VP9s (both 2016 builds), where as when I got my first batch when they came out, the trigger was average at best. Unless it was a significant improvement in reset (Apex M&P-like) I don't think id do it.

Edit - that's just a generic picture, same picture is used for the factory trigger from them. It may just have pivot points moved for more/less leverage and reset, or that may not be anything close to what it resembles.
