====Analysis of the trigger pull====
The [[Trigger (firearms)#Trigger pull stages|trigger pull]] consists of three stages:
# ''Takeup'' or ''pretravel'', which is the movement of the trigger which happens before the [[sear (firearm)|sear]] moves.<ref name=glossary />
# ''Break'', the movement during which the trigger moves the sear past the point of release.<ref name=bullseye />
# ''Overtravel'', which is the distance a trigger moves after the sear releases.<ref name=glossary />

The takeup is the least critical stage of the trigger pull, and individual preferences vary widely. Two-stage triggers, for example, consist of a noticeable takeup, followed by a distinct increase in the force required to pull the trigger, followed by the break. A single-stage trigger, on the other hand, has no discernible movement before the break. Fully adjustable triggers will provide a two-stage pull, and the option of reducing the first stage travel to zero, essentially making the trigger a single-stage trigger.<ref name=anshutz_trigger />

The break is a far more critical stage of the pull, as it happens just prior to the shot being fired. Here again, individual preferences vary; some shooters prefer a ''soft'' break, where there is a smooth but discernible amount of trigger travel during firing, while others prefer a ''crisp'' break, with a heavier weight and little or no discernible movement.<ref name=glossary /><ref name=bullseye />

The overtravel can be the most critical factor in the trigger pull, as any movement caused at this point will happen as the shot is fired. This is especially important with firearms where there is a sudden release of resistance when the sear breaks, such as in [[Trigger (firearms)#Double-action|double-action]] triggers. An overtravel stop will arrest the motion of the trigger just after the break, and prevent movement.<ref name=overtravelbad>{{cite news |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0BTT/is_179_30/ai_n15862407 |title=Over-travel = bad |publisher=American Handgunner |date=Jan–Feb 2006 |accessdate=2007-08-30 | first=Alex | last=Hamilton}}</ref> Over travel is not always considered bad by some, as the force of the trigger finger does not impact on the gun directly after sear release.
