The EDT was designed for the broader high performance shooting market typified by three segments that taken together, demand a unique suite of features at more pedestrian pricing. Those segments are: Law Enforcement, NRA type long range competition shooting, and the multi purpose sport, hunting, and home defense rifle. All these segments have one trigger specification in common: a minimum pull weight of 4½ lbs. The EDT meets that specification and more. First, the triggers are user-adjustable to 4½ plus and 5½ plus lbs by simply interchanging two hammer springs. "Plus" means that even after a period of break-in and/or heavy use, the trigger weight will always stay above the two thresholds. Second, the sear design paradigm used in the 24s has been included making for a very smooth and flat pull with only a hint of creep, a clean break with little over travel, and a fast positive reset. If you have put your finger on a 24E, 24C, or 243G, and can imagine the higher EDT pull weights, you're very close to appreciating what the EDT will feel like. Third, the EDT sports MIL-spec hammer fall even though the pull weights are less than MIL-spec's 7-9 lbs. The two hammer springs that give the 4½ and 5½ lb pull weights are even heavier than the stock MIL-spec hammer spring. This is possible because the EDT's hammer and trigger mechanical advantage pioneered by HIPERFIRE in its design of the 24 product family has been included. So, the EDT hammer still strikes well within MIL-spec's hammer energy range with lowered trigger weight. Fourth, the EDT lock time is faster than MIL-spec, like that of the 24 family, due to the use of the heavier springs and by locating the center of hammer mass closer to the pivot axis, which causes it to spin up to speed faster.
