After my interview with Uintah Precision on my TMI livestream show I was pleasantly surprised to receive a package in the mail. Inside was a plain black round tin, and inside was the Victoris trigger.
The Victoris is a high-quality, drop-in, single-stage AR trigger. It has a remarkable 1.5lb break with no take-up and a crisp, fast reset. The installation instructions came in a print-out sheet outside of the tin, which oddly read “Do not to use anti-walk pins.”
I asked Uintah about this, and they said this was a workaround to prevent returns by unhappy customers. Those buyers who used anti-walk pins often failed to tighten the lock-in screws, which provide the correct tension on the trigger. This caused the trigger to break inconsistently and more heavily than 1.5 lbs. Technically, I could use anti-walk pins, provided I torqued the set screws.
Correctly installed in my budget Anderson lower with a 223 Wyld upper and a Discovery Optics ED-LHT 3-15×50 scope, I tested the setup at the gun range. The trigger was a delight. After gently resting my finger on the trigger, I barely pressed, and I would send my shot. This helped prevent me from accidentally jerking the trigger and provided tighter groups than I typically get with this rifle.
Note that an ultralight break removes the safety margin against accidental discharge needed for everyday or home-defense ARs. The Victoris’ premium price also naturally discourages the casual user from picking up one of these triggers. For bench rest or long-range precision AR setups, ultra-light triggers like the Victoris are ideal for improved shooting.
