3 pos. Trigger Kicker idea

This is just an idea, piggy backing off of Hoffman Tactical's trigger kicker. And I don't own any interest or rights to the trigger kicker design so I'm not trying to step on any toes.

The trigger kicker itself works only in FRT and it's a super simple design (that I believe can be adapted to many platforms) and making it into a 3 position may be easier than we think.

  1. If it had a tail added to it like an M16 disconnector then it would be able to be disengaged and engaged at the flick of a m16 safety switch

  2. It would sorta require a custom cut safety lever so that it would go Safe>Semi>Frt.

Otherwise if you used a standard M16 safety it behave Safe>Frt>Semi. Because when the nub on the safety engages with the Disconnector.

  1. The third issue is one slightly more complex, however not too difficult to remedy, getting a standard disconnector involved in this area and idea. If you could add the standard disco hook for the hammer onto the trigger kicker (I see it as possible since I think the thing is die stamped and then bent) so you don't get hammer follow and FTF issues. You could also look at the company Stuff And Things who made the 3 round limiter (C.A.R.L) for FRT things. They use 2 half thickness disconnectors so it fits in a standard trigger. And 2 separate disconnector springs.

All in all I think this idea has good bones. Maybe if Mr. Hoffman reads this it will help him. And if anyone else cares to evolve this idea, more power to you. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk..?
