Help
Years ago (when I couldn't afford it) I remember seeing
ads in the gun publications for a Magna Trigger, I think
was the name - it required the shooter to wear a magnetized
ring to be able to fire a S & W revolver (heard they could
do it only with S & W's).
Haven't seen the ad lately (now that I can afford it) -
anyone know if they're still around?
Any feedback re: how effective it is?
Thanks,
Jack

Did a Google search and found they are still around...just type in magna trigger safety! Originally they were designed (I believe) as a safety devise for LEO's carring a revo. Never heard any bad press. Not sure why someone would want one now but TEHO. Pricy to say the least! You can almost buy a new blaster for what they cost but YGWYPF.

I had one of those! I actually won a certificate for a Magna-Trigger conversion at a shooting match when I lived in New Hampshire.
The guy doing them, Rick Devoid, is a solid guy. He bought the rights to the design from the inventor after he died. I haven't seen Rick in 20 years.

An old friend of mine had a Model 65 that had been Magna Triggered, and it was his daily carry gun. I got to see him fire that gun numerous times. The system worked. Those big ol' stainless steel, plain sheet metal rings you had to wear, with huge honkin' magnets on the back face, weren't the greatest fashion accessory though.
Pride and fear are emotions, which hope for an outcome. Outcomes take your attention from the present, where the shooting happens, to the future. It is totally impossible to do anything in the future, because it hasn't happened yet. The key to shooting your best is to be present as the witness of the shooting. Do not judge, do not give yourself anything to live up to. We can only shoot as well as we have trained ourselves to shoot. To try to shoot only induces stress. Be content with your current ability. And accumulate practice to improve that ability. Consolidate, build strength where you feel weakness. We cannot raise our ability until we accept our current limitations. Practice dissolves limitations. Matches simply define where the current limits exist. The game of shooting is all about redefining our limits.
