Thanks for the correction on the mechanical/inertia thing, Charlie.

I expect "unusual slack" is a personal thing, and may be the result of sxs shooters who are more used to DT guns vs ST. Just playing with the guns I have readily at hand, I find that the DT guns have little or no slack. The ST example I have is an SKB, which I think has a pretty good trigger. But it has more slack than any of my DT guns. Got comments about 23 triggers when I was doing an article on the gun years ago. I recall talking to a shop that did quite a bit of work on 23's. They said they could give the trigger a lighter pull but couldn't do anything with the slack. I don't recall hearing about any issues with 23 triggers other than the slack/creep, as far as function goes.
