NOTE FOR GAMO OWNERS: If you have a late model Gamo with a plastic trigger and safety, the GRT-III trigger will not work. If in doubt, check it with a magnet. If it is plastic do not order the GRT-III.
Testimonials GRT-III Trigger
With every trigger that is shipped out, I also
send an e-mail confirmation. In the confirmation is
a comment request as seen below. Most of the testimonials posted are the results of those comments. I receive e-mails every day (99.9% of them positive) regarding the GRT-III trigger and I every so often I randomly add a few to this page. If you do not see your comments posted, please do not be offended as it would be impossible for me to add them all.
I will
just occasionally add random new testimonials to the
top and at the same time, remove some from the
bottom and let the
testimonials speak for themselves. Thanks you
everyone.
From:
SUPMALE4 [mailto:SUPMALE4@] Mr Werner I received my GRT-TRIGGER a few days ago, thanks for the fast shipping. I ABSOLUTELY don't know how to explain the difference this upgrade did to how accurate of a rifle I now have, UNBELIEVABLE, and You almost spooked me away with the warnings for this particular Gun, but I understand the disclaimer aspect when dealing with weapons,anyway. I went from 3-4 inch groupings OR MAYBE WORSE to nearly 1/2 inch with 6-shots at 25 yards. I did not make any adjustments to the trigger. Your factory settings was perfect. I had to remove about 1/32 inch of the bear trap safety tab as per Your instructions ,that was it. For $32.00 and Your genius on this trigger design I now have a rifle I will use for hunting religiously, and it will no longer sit in the closet. It made that Much difference. So If You need this reference for anyone that has a Benjamin trail, they need to go no further and ORDER THE GRT-3 if they want a DRASTICALLY IMPROVED SHOOTING rifle. Thank You for your BRILLIANTLY DESIGNED TRIGGER, services and very good installation instructions Have a wonderful and blessed day, ...Tim P. S -Now I understand why you have a 99.9% rating for the GRT 3. It’s that Good.
From:
Ron Mosher [mailto:rcmosher54@] Bob, Thanks for the prompt service. Ordered your GRTlll via web the site on 1/15, mailed my payment on 1/16, received the trigger on 1/24. Wow!!! You sure know how customers like to be treated. I ordered the trigger for a new Crossman Nitro Venom.The trigger went in without a problem. Exactly as the instructions said it would. There was an immediate improvement. Shooting off hand at approximately 33' it went from a 2" plus pattern with the stock trigger to a nice 1" group with the GRTlll. The trigger is so predictable I can call the shot location almost every time. Now I can settle down with different pellets and find out what the gun wants to shoot. My affliction is muzzle loader shooting and my primary use for the gun is indoor practice. I wanted something to use indoors during Winter evenings, bad weather, or anytime there are a few minutes to spare. With a proper trigger its productive practice and very satisfying to see the groups get smaller. Thank you for a great product and service that is second to none. All the best! Ron Mosher
From:
Robert Hancock [mailto:bowguy] Robert, as so many have found before me, installing your GRT-III was the best thing I could have done. Regarding how my new Nitro Venom now preforms, there’s no comparison. Had I not known about your trigger I might have returned this rifle thinking it was a poor shooter. Groups at 25 yards were on the order of 1 ¼ to 1 ½ inches shooting from a rest. The first five shot group with the new trigger reduced this group by one half. Now that I have a couple hundred pellets through this rifle, I’m seeing five shot groups of under one half inch on a regular bases. The instructions were well presented which allowed me to complete the job of removing the original trigger and installing the GRT-III in about ten minutes. Thanks for such a great product. I hope to spread the word for those who don’t know how much better their rifle will shoot with one of your triggers. Robert Hancock

Keith Jollymore [mailto:] Greetings Bob, Just a note to let you know that my 2 GRT 111's arrived and we successfully installed them this evening. My 14 year old son and I each got a new Crossman Optimus for Christmas a month ago. After reading up about your triggers online and viewing the YouTube pieces we knew that we had to get better triggers. The stock triggers were junk and the pull weight was way too much. Your GRT11s have transformed our Crosman Optimus Air Rifles into really smooth operating guns and we look forward to much more accuracy and fun as we pursue our target shooting skills. I would say to anyone considering this mod -that it was easy to install-that it arrived very quickly in the mail and that results are worth every penny! Cheers, Keith
From:
Mateusz Benedict [mailto:mateusz] Dear Mr. Werner, I received the trigger just a few days ago, the address you put on the envelope was correct, but for some reason the package was mis-sent to Vancouver, Canada , so that must be why it took so long to get here. I only recently had the chance to install the trigger and test it out and I have to say it is a tremendous improvement. I'm more used to super-sensitive and extremely light sport/precision triggers so the stock trigger on my Gamo CFX was horrible in my opinion, but how much your GRT III trigger improves my CFX is almost magical — the increase in precision is just that significant and makes the CFX a joy to shoot, a huge difference from before. I really hold fine and precise workmanship in high regard so once again, I'd like to thank you and everyone on your team who made this trigger possible! Regards from Gdańsk, Poland! Mateusz Benedict
From:
Jason Colasante Hi Bob, Just wanted to confirm that I've received the Trigger and also thank you for the quick turn-around time. Installation was a snap. I cannot believe how such an inexpensive fix completely transformed my Benji NP XL 1100 from a decent shooting gun into a virtual nail driver at 35 yards. After reading paultry reviews regarding the standard trigger, I had serious reservations prior to purchasing the rifle and knew that a trigger replacement was to be expected, but I am astonished at how much better your trigger made my gun shoot. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! Respectfully, Jason C.
From:
Kenneth Thibeault Bob, Can't thank you enough. Installed your GRT-III trigger in my Crossman Nitro Venom.....WOW!!!! No adjusting necessary and it's as nice as my custom 22-250. If there are any doubters out there...forget about it....it's the Real Deal. (that's coming from a firearms instructor for over 38 years) Ken T.

Bill Kayle z Date January 2, 2012 my fingers nervously place a nondescript envelop with cash in it in the front mailbox. I see the mail person drive off with it tucked in the myriad of other postal goodies. I wait! Update January 6, 2012. I receive an email from my postal contact. He said it would take up to 10 or so days for my package to arrive I should expect a nondescript bubble envelope some 5 by 7 inches. I set back knowing my Remington vantage 1200 was going to get a severe awakening soon. Surprises never fail, here it is Monday barely the 9th and poof that package arrived. I had planned ahead and memorized the install procedure. Follow it folks especially where that bar is inside the trigger where you need to get it into the slot of the new trigger. I spent almost 10 minutes and had it done and off to test it. I did leave the trigger set to factory. Trust me it is dialed in perfectly too. Now for you people who don't believe Charlie has forged the Wholly Grail trigger, I pity you. This humble Remington vantage 1200 is totally transformed into something you would expect from a high end German made Swiss tuned rifle. The trigger pull is gone you lightly pull back not even feeling stage one then stage 2 is smoother than glass. It just fires. I mean you have nothing to do but sight and this trigger does the rest. I pulled groups from 1 plus inches with many a stray on the original trigger to .25" for 5 shot groups on the new grt III. Andy

Andy Pisarchuk <
Andypisarchuk@> Bob: The first thing I have to say to anyone who may be reading this ....... STOP !!! - go to the order page now and just order one as fast as you can. Then come back to read the rest of my comments. Now back to Bob. First, you have a 1st class American work ethic. Your confirmation of payment email was sent at 9:10pm on a Friday night. My trigger was in my mailbox that following Tuesday. That's fast my friend (to the readers, I live in NJ). I have a small business and pride myself in fast turnaround times to my clients and it is so, so great to see other businesses who fully understand that. Second, about my rifle, it is a Benjamin Trail NP Hardwood. I bought that rifle because of all of it's strong features. I knew from reading reviews that the gun was great but the trigger was every one's main complaint. I still bought the gun thinking "how bad can the trigger really be?" The rest of what people said about the rifle were all glowing words of praise. I tried 4 different types and weights of pellets in attempts to get any consistency out of it to no avail, and was totally deflated with how it was shooting. I shot about 500 pellets and was convinced that it was the most inaccurate air rifle I have ever shot. Plus I hated the trigger, it felt like I was going to run out of room by hitting the back of the guard before the shot. The Crosman company should be totally ashamed of themselves for the trigger they put in that gun. To be super kind, I will simply say it is garbage. Now, about the GRT-III trigger, I am truly and I mean truly, at a loss for words as to how it transformed my gun. After the 10 minutes it took me to install the GRT-III, the gun became the thing of beauty I thought I bought in the first place. I looked at the gun after putting it in with it's new shiny gold trigger and just had to run to my little 15 yard range in the basement to see if anything changed. I chose a 1/4" grid target with dots that are just a hair larger then the pellets diameter. Set up my tripod and seat and fired away. There are 25 dots on that target, I only missed three. Six of the dots I had to double check because the pellets were dead center in the black with no visible paper tear in the white. Un-real !!!! I know, I know, 15 yards is almost sitting on the target to begin with, but you have to understand that with the stock trigger a group of 1 1/4" across was what was the standard. I can't wait until I have some time to take it outside and tune it in for 30 yards. The GRT-III made shooting the rifle very smooth, very predictable. very trustworthy and now a joy to shoot. To all reading this review ... just buy one. I am 50 years old and I'm feeling like I did when my Dad got me my first puppy when I was 8. Yes, it is that good. Andy P.
From:
James Volker <james volker@> Hey, Bob/Charlie: I put your GRTIII in a Trail NT .22 today. I won't beat around the bush: BEST. TRIGGER. EVER. Everyone should do this, and it only takes a few moments with a four-in-one screwdriver to install. Terrible trigger gone for only a few bucks with fast turnaround service? You can't beat that. I wish my airguns came from the factory dialed like this; because they don't, I'm glad you're doing what you do. Thanks! (And yes, my groups are now my own fault again!)

From:
JIM DOBIE <jimdobie@bt> Hi Bob, I am just letting you know your GTR-III Trigger has transformed my Benjamin Trail NP into an incredibly accurate shooting rifle. Having bought the rifle second hand as the previous owner hated the standard trigger so much. Scott from Livelines in Armadale (Scotland) let me shoot into a padded bag on the floor in his shop to try the standard trigger out and told me if I had any trouble to fit a Charlie Da Tuna trigger to sort out any problem. When I returned home I tried some shots at a paper target in my back garden and those shots were inconsistent due to the shocking standard trigger. Groups of over an inch at 15 yards. The postie delivered your GTR-III Trigger yesterday (Sat 17/09/11) I was not expecting delivery so quickly as I only sent my $40.00 (£25.34) on Monday 29/08/11 and got conformation of receipt by email from yourself on 06/09/11 in the aftermath of hurricane Irene. The GTR-III Trigger was so easy and quick to fit following the excellent photo instructions .pdf file on your website.The newly installed trigger took around 5 to 10 minutes to do and I thought I must have done something wrong as it was that quick to do. On shooting the rifle my groups at 15 yards were improved so much and I cannot recommend highly enough your GTR-III Trigger. The feel is fantastic now, I can't believe the difference and my groups are now clover leaf at 15 yards ( five shots) All I need to do now is practice in the knowledge I have the best trigger fitted. Thanks again pal Jim Dobie (Penicuik on outskirts of Edinburgh, Scotland)
From:
Bert Weiner [burtweiner@ Bob, Just wanted to let you know that I installed the GRT-4G trigger in my Gamo Whisper. Your instructions were easy to follow and covered every question. I wound up making a spring compressor from one of the designs I found on the internet. I was amazed at the difference in performance once I test fired the gun - awesome! What was a very uncertain trigger pull has become very crisp and reliable. Thanks for this fine upgrade.

Bob George [
bobphoto@) Greetings Charlie Per your request for comments, I am writing my comments after I installed my GRT-III trigger. I am not one to do reviews, however, this time I am very happy to have the opportunity to give you some feedback. First I gotta tell you that I read all of the reviews for my Benjamin Trail NP. I kept reading how terrible the trigger was and how everyone changed to the GR III trigger. I even made a smart assed comment about how the trigger on the gun was quite good. Well I WAS WRONG!!! I am eating so much crow now because I have never seen anything make such a difference in my shooting life! First the shipping and turnaround time was amazing! I filled out order on Sunday, mailed funds on Monday, received and installed trigger on Saturday. Many companies could take a lesson from You regarding customer service and professionalism. Thank You for that. Now for a review: I have a great shooting partner (My neighbor) I am disabled with no use of my legs, so we shoot in my driveway from a wheelchair. We have a very nice set up with 40 - 45 feet. I have been shooting very well (So I thought). We shoot 7 pellets into each 2 inch reactive target. My groups have been good with 7 pellets inside the 10 ring. After installing the GRIII trigger INSTANTLY my groups tightened up to all 7 going through much the same hole!!! My neighbor was as amazed as I was. We shot 8 targets each today and I had only ONE pellet that was out of a dime-sized group! ONE pellet out of 56 that was not touching another! The trigger is so professional in appearance. It feels great while acquiring your target. When you pull the trigger you know that there is something special taking place. I really appreciate what you have done. Kindest Regards Bob
E-Mail from: Michael Kinner Hello Bob!
Just
thought I would drop you a line on this great
trigger I just installed in my Benjamin Trail NP-XL
in .22 cal. This is my first adult pellet gun, and
like many others, I did not like the trigger at all.
I took the advice in many of the reviews that I’ve
read and purchased your GRT III trigger. Thanks again and take care!
Mike
E-Mail from: Rich Tuler
Charlie,
thank you for the fast,fast shipping. i could not be
leave it. i was ready to send my benji trail np-xl
back because the trigger was that bad. but when i
installed your grt3 trigger i could not be leave the
change. this trigger breaks like glass. now i would
not trade my benji for anything. 10yd group was 1
ragged hole. 25yd was also the same and at 50yds was
a ten shot group about a dime size hole.
wow,wow,wow. i am sure glade i did some homework and
researched triggers before i sent it back. that is
what led me to you. i can't thank you enough.
between the shipping time and the trigger quality
and the info you give for the install, i cannot be
leave it only cost me 32.00 dollars. Charlie who
says you can't get a quality product in the U.S.A.
anymore.
E-Mail from: Bruce Lafone Bob- First off let me thank you for the INCREDIBLY fast shipping! Second, WOW what a difference your trigger makes in my Benji Trail NP XL. I am fairly new to Airguns but have fired many rifles in my life, never been a fan of the Two Stage Trigger but now I realize why: I have never fired one like the GRT III. This trigger is smooth and crisp and I can always feel the first stage engage which helps out tremendously with my accuracy. I am now shooting dime sized groups from 40- 50 yards thanks to you. The trigger is amazing, beautiful, and a great value! Thank You Again- Bruce Candler, NC
From: Joshua Merrill Hey Charlie! Received the trigger today! This is a beautiful piece of art sir! Took about an hour to manufacture a spring compressing device and about 15 minutes to disassemble the trigger and install yours. The difference is like going from a 4 or 5 lb. pull on a hunting rifle to a 2lb trigger on a target rifle. Stage one is very smooth and quick letting you know the rifle is ready to fire and the second stage is about 2 lbs. of pressure and bingo! The trigger is smooth, steady, even, crisp BEAUTIFUL! This is the best investment anyone can put into their air rifle in my opinion. Thank you for taking the time to create this magnificent accessory! Joshua Merrill
From: Tony Baker
Hi. Just wanted to let you know that I received and installed my new GRT III trigger today (Friday). I sent you a money order on Monday and was very impressed with the quick service. Installation on my Gamo Shadow was very simple and was an absolutely perfect drop in fit. I did not have to do any filing or smoothing and the craftsmanship was impressive. I made no adjustments at all to the trigger. After installing the trigger I had to step outside for some impromptu target practice. The first time I pulled the trigger I was absolutely amazed! I am an accomplished marksman with numerous weapons that have high dollar trigger replacements and modifications. I can truthfully say that the GRT lll trigger is as good or better than any of them. Despite a very stiff breeze, I was able to shoot tight groups that would have been impossible before the new trigger installation. I had the most fun today with my air gun that I have had with any weapon since I was about 10 years old shooting my Daisy BB gun. The trigger design and functionality is absolute genius; smooth, no excess travel, truly two stage, and just predictable enough to allow an experienced shooter to obtain the ultimate accuracy from his weapon. Thank you for a wonderful product. Tony Baker

Bob, All I can say is WOW! Your GRT III made my .22 cal. Crosman Titan GP a completely different gun! I don't have a figure in percentages, but it tightened up my groups to the point that I feel like I have a new and much better gun! I knew the trigger would make a difference, but I wasn't expecting this!!! Let me tell you I was thrilled at how easy the thing was to install too, thanks to your great instructions. NO problems. I am one happy customer, Thanks again!! Jason Miller, Kansas
From:
“Dave Johnson” [mailto:birddoger@gmail.com] Robert; Received your trigger today, installed it and tested it. I expected some improvement in the trigger but what your trigger did to that Gamo Big Cat was amazing! I can't believe Gamo doesn't use these. With a good scope and your trigger my big cat shoots as good as any German sporter. My only regret is the 2000 pellets I went through trying to break that Gamo trigger in. Many THANKS Dave Johnson

E-Mail from:
Isaac Sabo Hello Charlie, Just a little feedback on my experience with the GRT 3 trigger. I installed the trigger today, I was so pleased with how well the trigger functioned, that I had to chuckle to myself. My Benji Trail NP XL was already accurate and grouped well, but now with the GRT trigger the rifle is shooting groups at 20yards with all of the holes touching each other and some going though the same hole. I'm very happy with the trigger. Thank you, Isaac

in the mailbox!!!
So... I got home today and there it was!!
Waiting for me in the frozen mailbox!!! I
rushed in and my boys were asking me all sorts of
questions, like... "can we have some candy?" "can we
play fetch with Brownie (out choc lab)??". All sorts
of stuff, it was their lucky day! I didn't
care at all. I just wanted to get to work on
the new triggers!!! I got them both done, the
Remington summit 1st then the Gamo. Finnaly finished
and what do you know??? It's already dark out.
Now I gotta wait till the morning to enjoy.
But I did take a couple of shots just to get a
"feel". WOW!!! I'm very impressed!!!

Hi Charlie da Tuna,
E-Mail from:
Kirk H Hey Charlie I just wanted to let you know that the installation of the GRT-III trigger in my Benji Trail NP-XL went fine and had no trouble with the trigger adjustments that concerns you. I don’t know why a few are having a problem and others are not. It must be a problem with the manufacturing tolerances in some guns but in my case, it was perfect and didn’t even need adjusting. Just dropped it in and closed it up. I must say that it does make a huge improvement over the Benji trigger. Much shorter and lighter pull and is now much more predictable. It would be nice if it had a little more definition at the second stage but I understand why it does not. Anyhow, great job and keep up the good work. Kirk

Ron Smith Bob, I placed my order on Sunday the 5th. Monday was Labor Day, and when I recieved your e-mail that I could expect delivery in 5-7 days, I thought that sounded about right. I was shocked to find my new trigger in the mailbox on Thursday! Not sure how you managed that, but it sure was a pleasant surprise. I'm happy to report that the fast delivery was the only surprise I encountered with this trigger. It installed and performed exactly how everyone said it would, perfectly! I installed the GRIII trigger in my newly purchased Gamo Big Cat 1200 in .22 cal. (I was lucky to find one with the steel trigger at my local hardware store!) To be fair to Gamo, I found the accuracy with the stock trigger acceptable, with about 1/2" groups at 10 yards, and around 1" at 25 yards. However with the heavy, long trigger pull, I could only attain this accuracy off a bench and sand bag. For real world, standing freehand shooting at ground squirrels, I couldn't hold the rifle on target long enough for that darn trigger to break. What the GRIII trigger did for me, was made it possible to attain near bench rest accuracy while shooting freehand, which made my new rifle into a downright deadly and effective tool. I can't imagine trying to shoot a Gamo without a GRIII trigger! Thanks for the outstanding service and incredible product! Ron

Dave Perekins I just received the GRT III for my Benjamin Trail XP 1100. I had it installed in about 10 minutes. So easy a caveman could do it. OMG,I can not believe the difference. The old trigger is a POS no doubt; all I can say is wow. If you have this rifle get this trigger for it. You will wonder how you ever lived without it. Thanks, David Perekins
E-Mail from:
Don Stidham Wow! Amazing! This trigger will exceed your expectations. My NPXL 1100 is a brand new beast. This trigger was tuned perfectly and needed no adjustments. The break is crisp and extremely consistent. These guys could be charging a lot more for this product. Really appreciate the quality at an affordable price. This is a must for any AG!.......... Thanks CHARLIE!
E-Mail from:
Roger Morton Good Day Bob, Well I bought a modestly priced Crossman Storm XL...it wasn't being snobbish but the price was moderate and the reviews were sterling. Again there was this mention constantly made of THE GRT III on all of these terriffic reviews. Well I shot the gun all day to the tune of more than a tin of hollow point pellets and was convinced that I had lost my marksmanship skills. I started to really concentrate on my shooting skills and found no consistancy what-so-ever or discernable pattern to my groupings other than they were all over the map. I went on line that night and ordered the one thing that 'might' help...THE GRT III Trigger. The order was placed on Thursday morning before the birds woke up...old habit of mine...and who would have expected it to arrive in the mail on the following Saturday when I got back home from work!!! WOW!!! Needless to say it HAD to be installed immediately and using the web links provided soon found me with a dis-assembled rifle in no time and a lot of anticipation in comparing the two triggers. SURPRISE!!! There were parts left over, and this was completely intentional...I was suddenly experiencing palpitations, how could THAT be??? Whenever you can eliminate moving parts, especially springs, its a good thing on a weapon. Finishing up the reassembly was a snap after the initial shock of parts remaining wore off and it was outside to the range to check out the result. Whereas previously there was an extremely long and somewhat gritty feel on the trigger assembly and a prolonged wait for the sear to 'break' and fire the gun there was now a crisp short travel and the pleasant 'surprise' on the break. It took a gun I was pretty impressed with initially and allowed it to live up to it's full potential and thankfully took me along for the ride as well. Hands down this was one of THE most beneficial improvements I have ever made to anything I have purchased. It is hard to comprehend the hub-bub on websites that proclaim how much of an improvement that this one item makes...it is definitely NO EXAGGERATION!!! This thing works as specified and surpassed what I expected. Thank-you Bob, aka CharlieDaTuna, you made my day and ended it for a couple of small varmits already. Roger Morton

Dan Burkhart Bob, You have taken a complex problem and produced an elegant solution - better yet, it works as advertised. The GRT III has helped make my Cabela's Outfitter accurate - something that I was becoming frustrated with. My order arrived in CA in 4 days, I was able to install it using easy to read instructions in 10 minutes and it required only a minor turn of the first stage adjustment to make the safety work properly. This too was well covered in the installation documentation. As others have said, "I am amazed!" Thanks for the product, great customer service and your passion for this sport. Best Regards, Dan

Hi Bob,
E-Mail from:
George Klinger Bob, I just received the triggers in the mail today and installed them both. Wow-..what a difference. I installed the first one on a 0.22 Crosman Titan GP that I recently got from Wal-Mart. It had a very long and hard trigger pull, and adjusting it didn't help much. I installed the GRT-III in about 15 minutes and did no adjustments at all. The safety worked just fine and the trigger pull was light and short. The gun is now a dream to shoot. The second gun I installed the trigger in was a 0.177 Crosman Storm XT, also from Wal-Mart. That original trigger was a bit different than the Titan GP and the safety wouldn't quite work at first, but after I made a slight adjustment, it worked just fine. The trigger pull is now wonderful on that gun too. The installation was simple for both air rifles. I have only shoot a dozen or so pellets on each air rifle, but it appears that the groups are obviously tighter than than I could ever get using the original triggers. Thanks, George

Kyle J Dolata Hello, I received and installed my trigger today in a Gamo Big Cat and really love it. (Not to mention my wife and kids also love it!!) I did not make any adjustments to it. The instructions are excellent and you have alot of good info on your website. It is enjoyable to deal with the last person on this planet that delivers a quality product with great directions and customer service at a fair price. I can now overlap holes at 20 yards and have not tested it farther than that yet. All my pests are under 20 yds anyway. I would definitely recommend this product and your services to anyone. Thanks again, Kyle

Troy Williams Bob,I hope your doing Great! I just Received my GRTlll trigger about an hour ago and I had it lubed with Moly/30Wt and installed in under 20 mins,(I'm really fussy too so it took me a few mins longer,lol) and I have to say I'm not happy,,Nope happy is not a Big enough word I can use to convey how much I am Amazed!! I really liked my Trail NP XL 1100 for feel,looks and comfort but it's set the last week or so as I was so Disappointed in how it grouped due to the Garbage trigger Crosman uses! I had to readjust my scope a full half turn to the left on the windage and 1/4 down on elevation (as that was how far the travel was before)and now when you touch that GRT lll trigger she's as Sweet as my 350 magnum or 34Panther!I just shot a nickel Size group at 25 yards(and that was just a quickie) and that was Impossible before today! I can't extend to you my Gratitude, so you'll just have to take it this way,,I'm 1000% Satisfied and I'm spreading the word in Nova Scotia that this is the trigger for all the guys Trails,NPSS's,Summits and whatever else they can use it on as it's just something else!! Thanks so much for the Prompt Deliver and one Fantastic Trigger!! I've been tuning for a bit following your words and now I can also pass on this trigger as the Best I've ever seen! Take Care and Thanks Again, Sincerely Troy P/S: I'll be dropping a line on your site and every forum I belong too, just to show my Gratitude! Thanks Again

Jason Farmer WOW! I was very doubtful that this simple trigger would do much to improve the horrendous pull of the Cabelas Outfitter rifle. This thing is incredible. I was simply amazed. It took 5 minutes to install and gave a very crisp and smooth trigger pull. It turned an OK rifle in to a very accurate and pleasant rifle. I will be ordering one more trigger for my other rifle and I think every friend that tries it will be as well. Thanks for making this product. Jason

Robert Foreman Dear Mr. Tuna, I was so close to selling or trying to trade off my Gamo (actually my gun is a Savage/Gamo Model 1000). I was sick. My Gamo IS very very accurate! Scary accurate! But the trigger was SO bad, I could not shoot it well without great care to brace the gun for each shot. A well braced shot is not always possible while hunting Wabbits around the fringe of our garden or while slipping around on the House Sparrows or Starlings that invade our bird houses and bird feeders. I needed an accurate gun I could fire reasonably quick while the critters were still in place. I'd decided to get a different air rifle. A gun with a good trigger. So I began looking around on the different air rifle forums. Every time I posted the facts surrounding my "need" for a new rifle, I got a slew of replies that advocated the Tuna-Trigger!!! I read up on DaTuna Trigger. I could not find a negative comment. So...I decided I'd give it (GRT-III) a try. I knew I'd not find a good replacement rifle for $32.00!!!! Well, am writing to tell you: 1) the trigger is fantastic...an easy 300% improvement in the flash of an eye!! 2) even a knucklehead with two left hands can install the thing in five minutes!!!

Regis Corbel (France) Hello Mr. Werner, I recently bought on your website a replacement trigger (a GRT-III) for my Gamo Hunter 440. At last, i finally managed to mount and try it. It is absolutely ***WONDERFUL*** !!! It is exactly what the rifle needs to express its power and accuracy. Whatever the distance i shoot at, the impacts are astonishingly grouped in such a little circle. Impossible to get that result with the original trigger. More precisely, it is now possible to shoot the same way i would with a firearm (such as one of my Winchester 94 rifles) : no hard point, the trigger goes back millimeter by millimeter and suddenly BLAM ! The Hunter 440 is so accurate that i now can hit a 2 x 2 inches square at 30 meters (33 yards) with every round. Not bad ;) I plan to buy another Gamo, a Nitro 17 (modest power yet accurate and very fun). If the GRT-III is compatible, i'll contact you to buy another instance. Thank you very much, and have a good day in Simpsonville. Best Regards, Regis

Arthur Brogan Bob I received your trigger on Monday with no issues. I promptly installed it without a problem. It took all of 10 minutes to take off the stock, replace the blade, and reinstall the stock. This thing is amazing. I can’t believe the difference. At first I thought that it would be a little unsafe because it was so light so I did some abuse testing. I took it outside and used the butt of my hand to smack around the stock while loaded pointed at the ground. No discharge. Then I checked to make sure that the safety was working, again abusing it while pulling the trigger. Once again no problem. I have to say that you make one fine product and when I purchase another air rifle that will accept your trigger you WILL be getting payment from me for another. Thank you. Art

Conrad Baker Hi Bob, Just a quick note to let you know how pleased I am with the GRTIII Trigger. I ordered it Friday, and received it today (Monday). What great service !! I had been reading the installation instructions over the weekend, in anticipation of doing the installation. Normally, everything I attempt has problem after problem, and I have to run to the hardware store to buy one of these or two of that. This installation was so quick and easy, I had it installed in my Gamo Whisper in no time. What took the longest time was finding the correct Torx driver in my toolbox to remove the action and barrel assembly from the stock. That took about three minutes. Everything else went like clockwork, with no problems whatsoever. After reassembling the rifle, I took it outside, and carefully cocked and loaded it. The first shot was, as advertised, a surprisingly different experience. I fired a few shots to get the feel of the trigger, then put up a new target. At 20 yards, the rifle was now grouping three shots in a 1/2 inch with the Beeman FTS pellets (.22 cal). This trigger feels as good, if not better, than the Rekord Trigger on my Beeman R-1 DG. All I can say is WOW !!!!!! You have over delivered on a quality product that makes a precision shooting tack driver out of a marginal (at best) air rifle. This is without a doubt the best $32.00 I have ever spent in my life. I'm sure you have heard all of this before, but I just wanted to thank you for offering such a quality product that performs as advertised and beyond. Thank you again Conrad

Quinton Anderson Hi Bob, Just letting you know the trigger arrived, I installed it in about 5 min. and WOW!! Let me just say the reviews on your site are correct and do tell the story of this amazing trigger. I installed this on my Benjamin Trail NP XL. The stock trigger made it very difficult (at least for me) to keep a tight grouping. I was around 1.25" to 1.50" with a few pellets even wider. With your trigger installed I am now at less than .25" at 20 yards, simply outstanding. I have put 100 rounds through it so far, all with the same result bullseyes and alot of pellets through the same hole. Thanks so much for a product that is superbly made and truly is all it's cracked up to be. I will be switching my Crossman NPSS trigger with your CBR Trigger in the very near future. Now I need to loctite my screws, let them dry so I can get back to enjoying this gun with your trigger. Thanks again.... Quinton

Mitch Grover Sir Charlie, Just installed your trigger in a Gamo Hunter 890 and like everyone says it is truely awesome and a simple install. Your instructions are super clear and your shipping was quick. I was going to buy a different gun cause I couldn't hit crap with it. This gun had the worst trigger that I ever pulled. After installing it I just had to try it out. A few scope adjustments and I am now hitting the nail heads on a skid out the window at about 20 yards! Great product and wish I knew about it 2 years ago. Thanks, Mitch Groover

Steve Campbell I just received and installed the GRTIII trigger in my Gamo CFX today. Took me about 5 minutes to install it. I thought I was accurate with this gun before, you should see me now. I cannot believe how easy it is to pull the trigger now, and how consistent it is. Before I had to make an effort to keep the rifle still while squeezing the stock gamo trigger, now the trigger is transparent, and it is only a matter of how still I hold the rifle. Thanks for such a fine product. Regards - GamoStevo

Bill McVitty Hi Charlie, I ordered the GRT-III for my Gamo Whisper .22 and was positively surprised as it was in my mailbox after only 3 days. Yup, it is surely a miracle trigger --- and the results are stunning!!! After opening the padded envelope I immediately started the installation by removing the (crappy) factory trigger and replaced it with the sharp looking GTR-III trigger. The installation information on your website was very helpful and made the job extremely easy and quick to accomplish. It took me only 25 minutes (from start to finish) to get the job done, which also included some minor cleaning & lubricating. And now to the results: What can I say --- UNBELIEVABLE!!! My Gamo was pretty accurate from the beginning but can not be compared to what it is now. I messed up the first few shots because I was not used to such a match grade trigger … but then I applied only minimal pressure and the trigger broke nicely & smooth and the pellet hit the target “right on”. My average group size is now ¼” in diameter at 30 yards and there were no trigger adjustments necessary … this was never possible before! I can now squeeze off a shot without the need of having to jerk the gun due to hard/rough trigger pull from the old factory trigger. I’m sure that I will be able to improve my grouping even more over time …… everything is possible with the GRT-III. Gamo (and many other air rifle manufactures) should consider using your GTR-III Trigger instead of the wimpy stamped “stuff” they install right now. It makes absolutely no sense to make a nice accurate air rifle when the trigger ruins the entire result. I read many Gamo revues and most people were disappointed and even upset with the trigger system. Thank God that there are still people like Charlie in this country who know how to do things right and have pride in what they are doing. Charlie, thanks for a great product.

Tom Militano Hi Bob, I ordered a CBR trigger for my Remington NPSS and you said it might take a while to get here. Three days is not a while, it's fast. The trigger is unreal. Took about ten minutes to install. The factory trigger left a lot to be desired. This trigger is as smooth as glass and about 1 1/2 pounds. You can flat build a trigger.

Aeryck de S I received the GRT-III trigger today after a fast 2 day turn-around from ordering to receiving it in the mail. Installation in my Gamo Shadow 1000 was a breeze. I loved this gun before, and have used it over the last couple of years for squirrel hunting and target, but the trigger that it came with was much to be desired, with a lot of creep in the first stage, and then the sudden jerk into the second stage, if you can even consider them stages at all. After installing the GRT-III trigger, I was like, Really? This gun can shoot this much easier and this much more stable? Wow! I was getting groupings that were not only fantastic, but, as others have also said, the pellets would oftentimes enter the same holes from the previous shot! My brother and I spent the rest of the daylight time shooting eggs and targets at about 30+ yards, shooting branches with pinecone clusters from the upper parts of our trees, and I also bagged a nice fat squirrel (and left the other 5 or so to continue eating). For anyone who has an airgun and likes it, without this trigger you're not using it to its true potential! So if you already like your airgun, you'll LOVE it with this trigger installed. It's like an entirely different gun after the install of the new trigger unit, and one that shoots like a much more expensive model now. The trigger is a finely crafted and machined unit. It's a little hard to believe what a difference something like a trigger can make in a gun, but believe it! Whereas before I would have to anticipate the hard pull and sudden jerk of the stock trigger, when I shoot with the GRT-III trigger installed, it's barely even noticeable that I'm even squeezing it when it shoots! If you're gonna invest in one thing in your gun, INVEST IN THIS TRIGGER! Another happy GRT owner. Aeryck from Northeast Florida

George Chmielewski Thank you Mr. Werner! I don't know what sort of machining magic you and Charlie the tuna did to your trigger, but after 50 shots in my windless indoor 35' range with the Gamo 1200 on a sled using .22 Predator Polymag pellets my groups are inside a nickel. With the factory Gamo trigger I felt fortunate to have 1" groups with an occasional flyer out to 2" accompanied with a long, slow, and uncertain trip point. The motion of your trigger is crisp, short, tight, and utterly predictable. Simply sight, grip, focus, and squeeze. Just like a real firearm. Is this an endorsement of your product? Hell, yes. George Chmielewski

4/8/2010 9:26 PM Bob, my groups are at least half the size after installing your trigger and that is only after 40 shot's.I'll congradulate you on a job very well done, and this rifle will have a new improved standard that myself and others will greatfully enjoy for many years to come. Thankyou very much for producing a remarkable product and sharing it with everyone. Ron K

Richard Miller Robert (AKA: CharlieDaTuna) I received the triggers that I ordered from you in today's mail. As they say, first impressions are everything, and your triggers look great just lying in the package. I am a gunsmith and have installed your triggers before, and there is no doubt they truly are miracle triggers. Why do I say miracle triggers, it is because they really do turn any Gamo around 180 degrees. The best description that I can give is something going from black to white, night to day, or stones to diamonds. These triggers do work, and installation is a snap. These are something that Gamo should have installed at the factory; however, then I might have never dealt with an excellent seller who delivers as promised! Thanks, and keep up the excellent work that you do. I can guarantee that you will never hear "sorry Charlie" from me! Rick (BluRaven)

Dennis Kirschoff I ordered a GRT III for a Gamo Hunter that I won at a Safari Club event. I placed the order on Friday April 2nd at 9:30 PM. It arrives today, Monday the 5th. This is more than crazy fast shipping. So at 10:30 PM I start the install in the gun. By 10:38 I am finished. Since I have a 10 meter air gun range in my house I take a few shots and spend three minutes tweaking. At 10 meters I am all in the same hole. I know it's late but I knew no one would be shooting on the local range and it's only five minutes from my house, so off I go. Well, at 50 feet I put 10 shots in this target (please see the attached picture). Your trigger is everything I expected and quite a bit more. I even found shooting empty 22 casings to be tons of fun. Thanks for a great product and service. Dennis Kirchhoff

Got the same reaction when I installed the new CBR trigger mod kit in my new NPSS Jeff. Bob has really outdone himself on this trigger.. Ed will be here in a week or so and I will let him shoot it and I am sure he will love it as well. I have mine adjusted down to one pound. It actually has about 1/32" free play and then it hits the second stage. It is a dream come true for sure. The CBR realy improves the accuracy.. Now we all have two CDT triggers that are perfect..

Giovanni Palmieri Hello Charlie, It's amazing it took only 11 days for the triggers to get to me here in Australia . On opening the envolope I was very impressed at the look and finish of your product.. I left them sitting there for an hour or so them I couldn't resist I had to install it at least on one of my air rifles.. I decided il install it on my gamo shadow fox as it is only one week old .. It took me only five minutes to install your fine piece of work.. once again couldn't help myself had to try it and I was amazed that taking the factory trigger out and droping your trigger in makes it a totaly diffrent gun. I set up a target 15 meters away and all five shots were very accurate all of them touching each other. AMAZING!! I would recomend this trigger to anyone or should I say anyone with an air rifle should have this trigger.... It's not worth shooting if you haven't got one of charlies triggers! It should be made a law to have this trigger... I can't wait to put the other one on my gamo hunter 440 in .22. Thank you Charlie.. Regards Giovanni Palmieri Melbourne Australia.

Charles Wilson Charlie, I received the trigger two days ago, thank you! I installed it today and it is like you said, it took me less than 3 minutes to put the new trigger in but more like 20 minutes trying to figure out how to get the gun back together after dropping bushings and spacers out while disassembling the rifle, LOL . But now here is where I have to say......wholly crap Batman! What a difference in the trigger pull! It's like 3/4th's less of a pull than the original. It's very light and crisp. And wow, what a difference it made in accuracy! I can now squeeze off a shot and not jerk the gun due to a hard trigger pull from the old trigger. I am shooting at 15 yards to start and actually getting the shots touching one another. I ran out of daylight while shooting so I have to wait until tomorrow to sight the rifle in for 25 yrds and am excited to see the results due to the new trigger. Thank you again for your recommendation! Charles Wilson

John Schrader Hi Bob, I received your GRT III trigger today and installed it, which was easier than I thought it would be. The original trigger pull was long, somewhat heavy, and gritty. The GRT III trigger pull is short, light and very smooth. The GRT III fit in my Benjamin Trail very well, and allows me to place one pellet on top of the next at 10 yards. Thank you Bob for another fabulous trigger! Sincerely, John Schrader P.S. The GRT III is an awesome looking trigger as well and adds a lot to the visual appeal of my air rifle.

I knew that the GRT III would be a major improvment to my Gamo Viper, but the GRT III totally exceeds any expectations that I ever could of imagined. Before the GRT III, it was impossible to shoot consistantly with the excess trigger travel and heavier pull weight of the stock trigger. After an easy 10 minute installation, I shot several 1/4" groups at 30'. Then I started shooting at thumb tacks, also at 30', these tacks were only 1/8th" across the head, after hitting 3 in a row, I put the Viper up, totally satisfied that I have made one of the best purchases in my 54 years of life and that I can totally hang with anyone, anytime, anyplace on any firing line thanks to Charlie Da Tuna. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Allen Ramsey P.S.Thanks for the Super Fast shipping too!

Jim Fouquet Hi Charlie, I just received you trigger and installed it. This is the first air rifle that I have had as an adult. I am 58 now. Years ago I did a lot of hunting and did a lot of work on my rifles. I had several varmint rifles as well as deer rifles. I would not keep one unless I could cover 100yd groups with a quarter. Some good rifles had decent adjustable triggers but I would buy aftermarket triggers on some. I had used several brands of triggers usually Timery (not sure about the spelling) but to my point. I NEVER SPENT $32 that made such a difference. To me nothing is more important than a trigger on a fire arm or in this case an air rifle to improve performance. The one that came with the Remington Vantage 1200 was junk. I have just fired a few rounds since I changed it but what a difference. Thank You So Much! Jim

David Meyers Good morning Sir. I received and installed your trigger yesterday. First thing that comes to mind is amazing. The speed that it got here was impressive and it was very easy to install. I read the directions twice before receiving the trigger and read a link on Pyramid Air and was prepared for install when it got here. Took about 20 minutes only because I almost forgot the bushing that rolls on the inside of the stock so I had to take the stock off again. No adjustments needed once installed. Took it out to the garage for trial. The new trigger is very light compared to stock so first round was a flier but still on the target. After about 10 shots to get the feel of the trigger I was shooting 3 shot groups that could be covered by 1 pellet! The picture is attached. I am amazed at the difference the trigger makes. Looks and feel are very nice. By far the best upgrade to the gun and the least expensive. Directions were very clear and easy to follow. Lubed the trigger and all points internal like suggested. This is an outstanding upgrade and highly recommended. I cannot wait till this weekend so I can really stretch my rifle out and see what it can do. Your website, service and trigger's are top notch. Thank you. David Myers North Carolina.

E-Mail from:
Jeffery Brotherton I received your trigger in the mail today...fast processing and quick mail. I am totally pleased with the change it makes in my Gamo CFX. I expected the stock trigger to be mushy and not too good, but I was surprised at how mushy it is. I shot about 200 rounds with the stock trigger so I would have a chance to get used to it and have a good bench mark starting point. Where the stock CFX trigger started makes the transformation as a result of the 10 minute (I timed it) installation of the GRT III all the more remarkable. I am totally pleased with the new trigger feel and consistency, I know exactly when it is going to let off and I don't have to pull it halfway to the butt plate. It makes the gun an absolute pleasure to shoot. This consistency seems to have enabled me to shrink my 20 yard groups from quarter size to dime size with occasional cloverleafs and I think we can do better, I just ran out of the gun's favorite pellets. As all the reviewers have said your trigger design makes a pretty good airgun into a great airgun. You can be sure I'll be buying a GRT III on every compatible airgun I buy. Jeff B

Brian Saade Charlie, I received the GRTIII trigger today and it was as easy to install as all of your website info said it would be. I have a brand new Gamo Whisper .22 cal with a Gas Ram powerplant and synthetic camo stock and I shot about 50 pellets thru it before your trigger arrived. It is a very accurate and powerful rifle (840 fps with 15.88 gram pellets) but after installing your trigger...all I can say is WOW!!! The GRTIII is everything and more that I have read about on the many forums and blogs. The pull weight, smoothness and true 1st/2nd stage feedback are exactly what I expected. I saved the stock trigger and spring etc, but I'm fairly sure that the stamped, sheet metal trigger and parts will not be re-intalled in this gun during my lifetime! Let me also thank you for the quick delivery, 3 days from your place to mine here in Idaho. And...even more importantly, the install was as simple and straightforward as your instructions. One note for late model Gamo Whisper CSI owners... the "E" clip is on the reverse side of the trigger assembly, and there is only one clip due to the trigger hinge pin having a shoulder on the near side that retains it ("E" clip is on the opposite side that Charlie shows in his picture/instructions looking right to left with the trigger on the right, muzzle on left and barrel on top). I just finished putting 50 more pellets downrange and what a REMARKABLE DIFFERENCE your trigger makes. I can only compare it to my HW97K with a Rekord 2 stage trigger and for this Gamo rifle it is as close to the Rekord trigger as I could possibly hope for. For anyone looking to get $500 performance from their $200 gun, get Charlies GRTIII trigger for $32 and save $268! Thanks again Charlie for the service and support you provide to air-gunners.

George Tuttle Charlie, I ordered your GRT-III trigger for my Gamo Whisper VH because it was recommended by the Gamo customer service agent when I called to complain about the Whisper’s excessive trigger pull. I must say that I was skeptical to say the least about the reported ease of installation. Having owned my Whisper for only a week and not being completely familiar with its construction I was anticipating a challenging installation. I was wrong. I used your GRT III Trigger Installation pictorial instruction guide and was shocked at how straight forward and simple the entire process was from start to finish. In fact it took no more than ten minutes. I also couldn’t believe the difference in trigger pull. The GRT III trigger made a remarkable and significant difference in trigger pull. The lighter trigger pull was exactly what I was looking for and has transformed my Whisper into my air rifle of choice. George Tuttle

Steven Pugh Bob, I've read all the testimonials.....and I'm sure you get tired of reading them. I don't know what else to add, you are a genius! My wife bought me a Gamo Silent Cat for Christmas, after listening to me complain about range fees and ammo costs. She knew nothing about air guns, and bought it at the suggestion of a Bass Pro Shop clerk. I was nearly ready to resign it closet duty, not wanting to hurt her feelings, until I ran across your site when researching these "springers". I've tinkered with guns since I was a kid (just another good ol' boy from South Mississippi) and have NEVER seen anything make this much difference in a gun of any kind. And this wasn't the first trigger I've swapped either! Your trigger is what these guns need to turn them from junk into gold. Thanks again for offering a quality part at a reasonable price, and getting it here so quickly. I only wish you were still tuning! I hope you and your family have a wonderful New Year.

Marty Shorey Your GRT III trigger was shipped to me promptly. Taking it out of the package, I immediately noticed that the workmanship was outstanding. Installation took me only about 10 minutes, but while the gun (Gamo Silent Cat) was out of the stock, I took some extra time to look at everything and admire the workmanship. The install was a snap and I feel like I could have done it without instructions, it's that easy. After putting the gun back together, the first shot came as a surprise since the yard long creep was gone. I was convinced that the standard Charliedatuna adjustments could be improve upon so I took my allen wrench and screw driver and got busy. Long story short, I returned the adjustments to just about where you had them set up, so I guess you really DO know what you're doing. Great trigger makes a great improvement to my Gamo. Thanks.

Derek MacLean Hi Bob, Derek MacLean here, you may remember that I wrote to you via your CharlieDaTuna web site some time ago commenting on various aspects of the articles therein. Following requests made to me here in this part of the World to sort out the triggers on some Gamo CFX models I got my son Clive MacLean, who lives in Wayne, Illinois to order three units from you. As my younger son was visiting with his brother he was able to bring them back to South Africa on his return home. This certainly saved a bit on the postage etc. and ensured their safe passage avoiding the highly possible theft enroute through our postal system. I understand that you are aware of this problem having experienced it with other orders from Africa. I think that I previously explained that, apart from smithing air guns here I also coach air rifle shooting at a local college. This morning before attending a coaching session in the afternoon I took the opportunity to fit one of your triggers to a CFX used by one of my top Springer shooters. This young man shoots very well with his CFX but has never been happy with that dreadful Gamo trigger let-off. I have to tell you that both the young shooter and myself were absolutely amazed at the result. Our complements to you Sir - a first class design and great engineering quality. There is no doubt that when word gets around to the many shooters here who use Gamo rifles I will have to get my son to order me further supplies. I have recently written and published through the college a 'how to' booklet on the techniques of target shooting both the Springer and Sporter (PCP) rifles in the three positions. This has been quite well received by the school shooters here. As I note your postal address in the GRT-111 installation instructions I am taking the liberty of sending you a copy that I hope may be of interest to you. Your comments would be appreciated.

Andy Stroud Hello Bob Here's some feedback on my recently purchased trigger. I received the trigger in just 5 days from ordering. It took me about 10 minutes to fit to my Gamo shadow. I didn't need to adjust the trigger, it feels perfect. It has transformed the gun completely, the old trigger had a really long first stage and was very heavy when firing. Now it is a lot lighter and very precise. Anyone in doubt about buying and fitting one of your triggers should just go and do it. It is worth every cent. Thanks for brilliant product. Regards Andy

I must admit, when I bought my Gamo Whisper Deluxe about a year ago, and started hanging around here, I was skeptical about all the rave comments concerning the GRT III. Well, last week I finally ordered one. It got here yesterday and I installed it this morning, before my coffee. And even considering the klutz factor, it took me maybe 10 minutes, start to finish. Sound familiar? For a 68 year old with ten thumbs, that's not bad. My first shot out of
it hardly got on paper, because I started to press
the trigger the way I pressed the old one, and it
when bang before I was ready. The second shot was a
bulls-eye. This is one helluva trigger.

I barely have enough mechanical ability to tie my own shoes so I was more than a little apprehensive about installing the trigger. But your instructions were great and I was able to install it within 10 minutes. As for how it worked - I have been following the GTA forums for about 1 1/2 years and I have read countless times about how great your trigger is and how much difference it makes. Well, I still wasn't prepared the first time I shot my gun. Incredible! There is nothing that I can say that hasn't been said a thousand times. Your trigger turned a good inexpensive gun into a great inexpensive one. Thank You! Terry

Hi, Just thought I would let you know how pleased I am with my new GRT-III trigger in my Gamo Whisper (.22cal.). I preformed the installation in about 5-10 minutes and had no problems at all - just followed the instructions. No adjustment were required! The GRT-III has brought this rifle from the "sorry I ever bought this gun" to the "I really love it" status. The performance of this trigger is very close to the double set triggers I have on my muzzle loaders and much better than a lot of my standard trigger production firearms. I wish everything I bought worked as well as the GRT-III. Thanks, Frank McKinney

Robert Petty When I got my Gamo Viper, I didn't even shoot it before I installed the trigger. The trigger was a breeze to install, being mechanically inclined; it took less than 5 minutes. (2 minutes for installation, 3 for admiration of this masterpiece) Overall it is beautiful trigger on a beautiful gun, what more could you ask for. How about an amazing SHOOTING gun? I am so used to shooting around 3-6 lbs of trigger pull that when this thing fired I just laughed. My trigger was the smoothest action, and right when you hit that spot, it fires, precisely the same spot every-time. The pull is so light it’s almost effortless. In 2 hours I had already put 500 shots through the rifle. I loved it so much but unfortunately I ran out of ammo. Not only does the trigger add a special high class look to the rifle, it adds superior shooting economics, unmatched to any rifle I have ever shot. I swapped out my target every 10 shots (50 Targets) the first few I used for sighting my rifle, I did this at 20 yards. By the 32nd target, the gun seemed to be broken in pretty well, and I was shooting shot clusters of 10 in the size of a DIME! (Obviously its 70% operator, 30% gear) But yes, it is the most accurate combination with the 3-9 X 40 Glass Etched BSA Riflescope, and your trigger. I mean dead bulls eyes. I love your trigger Robert Petty P.S., I was at Kittery Trading Post in Kittery Maine the day before my stuff came and some guy was telling me that the best thing you can do with any Gamo rifle is buy the GRT-III trigger, I smiled laughed and told him that he had made my day since I had already purchased one for my new Gamo Viper.

Tim Stafford I got the GRT III trigger kit from you earlier in the week, and have been wavering about installing it myself on my Gamo Whisper. Went a head and followed your easy directions this afternoon and installed it in appx. 15 minutes. This has to be the single greatest upgrade for any factory gun on the market!!! You and your staff that designed and manufacture the GRT III trigger are air gun Gods! Thank you so much for the great option on so many airguns that can create a lifetime of shooting enjoyment for everyone who owns one of these. Makes me want to buy another gun just so I can put another one of your triggers in it to be able to say I own a pair of the best!!! Thanks again. Tim

Leslie Couch I ordered it late Wednesday night and got it Saturday. Fantastic turnaround. I dont even live in a big city. It was almost too easy to install. I wanted a bit more challenge since I am a tinkerer. How does it shoot? I cant believe the difference. It is as smooth as I could possible imagine and I never needed to adjust it. My groups shrunk immediately. Every testimonial I read on your website was no exaggeration. It's purty too! Thanks Bob Les

Lillard Martin Bob, the GRT lll trigger in my Gamo whisper is a great upgrade. Your shipping was very quick {3 days}. Installing per your directions was very simple. best part this has turned my rifle into a much better rifle. the trigger that came in the rifle was very lacking. The pull must have been three inches and at about nine pounds. new trigger is just right. Believe it is even smoother than the Volquartsen in my Ruger 10/22. it has made my Gamo much more accurate and fun to shoot. have noticed that the rifle is much more selective on pellets than I expected. have shot several different ones and it likes Beeman all purpose ones best. anyway you have a great product, great shipping, and made my rifle much better than new. Will likely have a tune up by Gene sometime in the future. Lillard Martin

Dean Thompson. Hi Charlie (Bob) I just had to send a quick note to let you know that I received my GRT III today, and just finished installing and testing it. I've read the testimonials on your website, but I guess I thought that some were a bit exaggerated, slinging so much praise. I was wrong. I installed the trigger in my Gamo Whisper VH in about five minutes, no problems, and no hitches. It's been raining all day here, but I wanted to try a few shots from my porch just for the hell of it. I can't believe that this is the same gun. The trigger pull with the factory trigger was slow, heavy, and creepy and pretty much a crap shoot as to when it might release. My first shot with the GRT III was a clean, crisp release, maybe 3lbs at most. All I can say is UNBELIEVABLE! This is like the difference between a cheap double action revolver and a match grade rifle. I can't even feel the smallest creep, it's absolutely amazing. Thank you for making such a fantastic product. Dean Thompson
E-Mail from:
Matt Bottoni Hello Charlie, I just finished installing my trigger and here are my thoughts andcomments: "I want start off by saying I have NO prior gunsmithing experience. With that said, installing the GRT-III was extremely easy and fast. I cannot emphasize how easy it was. I was very nervous about installing a trigger because I have never even taken apart an air rifle, much less install after market parts. It took me under 5 minutes to take apart my rifle and install it. As for the trigger, $32 is a steal for what you are getting. It has made my Benjamin Super Streak a pleasure to shoot. Hats off to you Charlie for making a quality, high class trigger that really compliments my air rifle." Thanks again Charlie for the great trigger. I only wish I could install this trigger on any air rifle. :) Matt

Scott Conway Bob/Charlie, I bought two of your GRT-III triggers about two years ago for my matching pair of Gamo CFX .177 and .22 air rifles, and I wanted to say those triggers are STILL fantastic. I have poured thousands of pellets down those rifles, and I can't help but smile each time I gently squeeze that beautiful gold trigger. These two rifles easily produce sub .25" five shot groups @ 25 yards, and the triggers make it considerably easier than the stock Gamo triggers. The durability is all anyone could hope for, and I am about to get my .22 CFX back with the Air Venturi gas ram installed, since the mainspring snapped. This should get very interesting. Oh, if you can, would you put this up on your Testimonials for the GRT-III page on your site? Thanks, Bob! Scott A. Conway

P. Hamalainen My sincerest thanks to you, Bob! This is like a new found love with your GRT-III trigger blade in my Gamo CF-20. I think that all usable superlatives of your triggers have already been used by other customers before me, so I will not repeat them again and bore the hell out of you. I just want to THANK YOU, sir, for selling such an awesome product with fast and great customer service for an affordable price. Every Gamo owner should get one! Period. P.

Brad Bell. Subject: I used to think that the trigger pull on my Ruger 10/22 was the absolute worst trigger from the factory imaginable, until I bought my Gamo Big Cat air rifle and found out what a truly horrible trigger was. Likewise, I thought that the aftermarket trigger that I put in my 10/22 was the best upgrade that I had ever made on a gun until I installed the GRT-III trigger in my Gamo. Without exaggeration, THE GRT-III TRIGGER IS THE MOST DRAMATIC UPGRADE THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. That one single upgrade changed my air gun from a item that was going to end up in next year’s yard sale into a one hole shooter at 50’. I was skeptical when I read the testimonials, but now I am a believer and am telling everyone I know that owns a Gamo to buy one of your triggers. I can’t wait for the guys at the range to see the difference. Thanks from your biggest fan! Brad Bell
E-Mail from: Doug J Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that I received the GRT III I purchased from (and quick too, only 2 or 3 days) and I just got thru installing the trigger (finally had time) and the first shot was AMAZING. The first words out of my mouth were "HOLY MOLY!" It has only taken one shot to realize that this is a totally different gun than I bought. I was shocked and thrilled. Very, very smooth! I am not a very good shot with any type of gun (bowhunter only), but with this trigger and my Gamo CFX Combo. the squirrels and varmits around my house better watch out. No more digging in my yard or my wife's flower pots. All I can say is "Thank you" for making such a fine product for a very reasonable price. Doug Lubbock, TX
E-Mail from: MAURICE H. Not being a clock watcher I forgot to record the time it took me to install my new trigger in my CFX, but it didn't take me as long as it took to make a cup of coffee in the microwave . I will be ordering one for my wife as a jewel for her charm bracelet. The trigger pull went from 64 oz. to 24 oz. in one move, the take up is just how I would set it, the offhand groups went down by a huge margin. If any one has any doubts, put them aside and get one of these triggers ASAP, and start realizing your potential and that of your equipment when you have installed one. Here on the East coast we do not put up with any BS and this trigger marches to that drummer. an OUTSTANDING PIECE , thanks for your development efforts and cost containment and perfect example of Yankee (HE HE ) ingenuity.,Sincerely, Maurice
Sent: May 21, 2009 3:46 AM Hi Bob Thanks for your
prompt shipment, the trigger was almost too easy of
an install, just took a couple of minutes and it was
in. Couldn't wait to try it, even with out my new
scope installed I just had to go outside and try it
out, I have one word to describe it SMOOOOOTH, lol.
I felt the difference right away, It really changed
the way the rifle shot completely, No more waiting,
what seems like an eternity for the gun to fire, and
the trigger pull was perfect, I didn't change a
thing. Can honestly say it was a valuable upgrade to
my gamo big cat 1200. Gamo factory triggers do not
do an air rifle justice at all. not very adjustable
to me. But the GRT-III is really sweet. Not
downgrading it at all, but I have one comment to
add, I wish the one you make for the gamo was a bit
longer, but thats just me I have rather large
fingers, anyway thanks so much, GW. Charlie, In one word UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I don't know why anyone would settle for junky trinket of a factory trigger, this is truly a night and day difference. The best part was installation, I was just scrolling thru instructions online one at a time and then....That's it???.... I was confused, I thought for sure I missed something. But no it was true I was done. Then I shot it, WOW what a nice crisp brake, UNBELIEVABLE!!! Thank you again what a nice well crafted upgrade. I will recommend this product to everybody great job!!! Fred...State College, PA
Bob, I got the triggers last Friday. They were easy to install and it only took about 40 minutes for both rifles (CFX and Super Streak). The triggers did wonders for the two rifles. Before installing the triggers it was very tough to get respectable groups with the Super Streak and boy did I keep a sore trigger finger. The CFX was just ok. But I knew I could squeeze more accuracy out of it with a few mods. So after doing some research and reading the great reviews and results that others had gotten with their GRT Triggers, I had to give it a try. Now, my rifles seems like they had major work, but just adding the trigger makes them feel and perform like different guns. They are more enjoyable to shoot and I have the confidence that I will hit my target. Wow! What an idea and product, finally I got a real difference maker that is well worth the money. I would highly recommend. Big Thanks, Derrick
Thank you for your prompt response to my order. I am extremely pleased with the triggers. I installed one of them on a Crosman Storm. The results are amazing. The comparison of the stock trigger to the GRTIII trigger is, well, there is no comparison! The reduction in pull weight, feel, function, ease of installation, and installation support is incredible. I will definitely be a repeat customer. The quality of manufacture reminds me of a time when people actually took great pride in their work. Kudos on a great product and website. Sincerely, Curtis (aka Bigfish)
Dear Mother of God...
what a difference! I cannot thank you enough.
I know that I tend to be a little higher maintenance

again for your responses.
Bob, I received your GRT-III trigger this afternoon and installed it in a Remington Summit .177 cal air rifle. Just like everyone else I feel that there is only one word to describe the transformation, that word is WOW! I bought this air rifle and was very disappointed, not in the rifle overall but specifically in the trigger feel and action. As a matter of fact I was about to offer this rifle to my friends, give it away to anyone who wanted it. I was that disgusted. Now I think I'll keep it. I shot forty five pellets this afternoon fine tuning the zero on the scope at 30 yards and was able to put three almost on top of one another, my worst group was a little larger than the size of a half dollar and this was when the wind picked up. The trigger installed easily and as per the instructions on your website. There were no surprises. You've done a great thing for people that are going to shoot these rifles. Thank you, E Moss
E-Mail from: Tom T. Subject: The Trigger Hi Bob, Just recieved the trigger this afternoon and had already read through the pfd files I downloaded from your site. I have done trigger jobs on Ruger 10/22's, Remington shot guns and a Colt AR15, all of which were not too bad. Now when it comes to putting in your trigger in my Whisper, I've never seen such an easy job. It was the quickest and simple, straight forward installation. The only thing I had to do was take the rifle down again because of a small plastic roller that goes into a guide in the stock, it fell off the peg and I missed that putting it all together. Now to the meat of the issue is the trigger worth it. I couldn't believe the feel and let go of this trigger. Surprised me on the first pull. What a great job you did on this trigger. It is worth every penny and if anyone buys an air rifle they should do your trigger job before they sight in the rifle. I have owned this rifle only one month and didn't like the creepy trigger in it right from the start. I talked to a gun smith a Ace Hardware in Lacrosse Wis and he turned me on to your web site. He said the trigger is well worth it he did your trigger job for a customer. When he fired it is was really impressed with it. I took his advise and glad I did. I will be showing this rifle to other air gunners in the area. I wish I had 2 Whispers to show the before and after but this rifle will now speak for itself. Now the brag sheet. I have been shooting all my life and was a high firer of the battalion 98 out of 100 for score with the M16 A1. Now with this trigger job I will be able to improve on that one. Thanks Bob for the job you did in the design of this trigger. It is well worth it and now I enjoy this rifle. Keep up the good work. Tom Tippery

Robert J. Petty Subject: Byproduct of your GRT-III trigger Dear Charlie: While I have previously written to you to express my gratitude for your having created such a fine product in the GRT-III, I’d also like to pass on to you a little byproduct of what it is your trigger has done for my oldest son. As a little bit of a background, my son suffers from a mild learning disorder. He is in a classroom setting where he receives extra attention in the subjects which most frequently cause him trouble, ie., math and reading. Partially, as a result of this extra attention, he exhibits signs of low self-esteem. While I go out of my way to tell him how great a job he is doing in school, it’s obvious to me this extra attention causes him some anxiety. My reason for getting into air guns was a result of my trying to find something both boys and I could do as a family. Both of them love to shoot rimfire and centerfire and the oldest is actually a pretty fair shot with a revolver/semi-auto and a rifle. Unfortunately, not knowing anything about air guns prior to buying a Gamo Viper and 220, I just happened to pick the brand of rifle with the worst triggers available. Prior to purchasing your trigger, I told the boys they simply needed to practice with their rifles in order to keep getting better. While some of the groups the boys would shoot were actually quite good, the occasional flyer would often spoil the results. It was obvious to me their trigger fingers were getting sore from pulling so hard on the stock Gamo trigger; hence, this led to the occasional flyer. My oldest was actually becoming quite discouraged, and I found him sinking back into the mood of “I’m just not good enough.” Then…I purchased your trigger. On our first outing together, my oldest son’s eyes actually “lit up” when he saw the group he produced with the GRT-III trigger. He simply couldn’t believe how well he was shooting and how tight he could hold his groups. He was happier then I’d seen him in quite some time and all traces of the “I’m not good enough,” feeling was gone. I swear he must have come up and shown me one target at least 5 times, he was so proud of it. Of course, so was I. He just recently graduated from the 15 yard course I’d set up in the woods behind my home, to the 30 yard course. At 15 yards, after installing your trigger, he could keep 6 shots within a span I could cover with the fingernail on my little finger. At 30 yards, he can already keep 6 shots within a one inch circle I draw on a piece of paper as an aiming point. My next step is to put him on the 50 yard course and see how well he does. Charlie, the transformation in him is just astounding. His whole attitude about joining his little brother and I as we head out to shoot has totally changed. He’s now eager to finish his homework when he gets home from school so we can go back to “our” range. I realize that as a tuner and businessman, you’re interested in making money and building a happy clientele. Sometimes though, you actually DO touch people in ways you might not fully expect. You certainly did in this case, and I couldn’t be happier about it. Sincerely, Bob Petty

Bruce Sun Bob Received the trigger and have installed it in our Gamo CFX. A great improvement and at what I consider low cost. Eight days delivery to Australia and easy to install by following your instructions. I am delighted with the change, it has made a big change to the one area I was never happy with the CFX. Why can't they do this from the factory!! regards Bruce
Charlie, I just got the GRT II installed in my Gamo Whisper (10 minutes). In fact I was surprised how fast you got it here. The riffle is now a tack driver. I still need to fine tune it a bit but the difference between the GRT II trigger and the factory trigger is like the difference between rotgut and single malt. The rifle went from rough and unpredictable to smooth and crisp. Best regards, John

Hi Bob, thanks for the
quick response. I haven't received the trigger yet,
I just jumped the gun ! Ha Ha. (I ordered this at
the same time I ordered my new Crosman Phantom
springer. From experience it's the same trigger as
Gamo) Anyway, I know already that it will be here
quickly as the two
before. I just wanted everyone who reads, that this
is a worthwhile and cheap investment to make your
airgun a whole lot better in terms of accuracy and
looks. What a fine yet ordinary example of American
Ingenuity. The two previous triggers (GRT-III of
course) I installed have worked marvelously and I am
nothing short of being impressed. Installation and
function is very simple (almost too simple). This is
a First Class item for what it is and greatly
enhances even the so called lower caste of air guns.
I will be back.
E-Mail from: Steven Onstad I have a Gamo Whisper, which I was planning on replacing due to its inaccuracy. A new quality air rifle was going to run ~$200-300 and then I came upon the GRT-III recommendation and thought I'd give it a try. I received the trigger and installed it within 15 minutes. I am not mechanically inclined and was sure I'd screw up the installation but it was very straight forward with the downloaded instructions. I couldn't believe the change it made...1/2-1 inch groupings @ 30 yds ( I was lucky to get 6 inch groupings with the factory trigger). This morning I tried it out on the gophers in our field...two out of the first three shots found their mark (the third was a 60 yd shot). To anyone with a Gamo, you MUST buy the GRT-III trigger, it will transform your piece of crap into a very accurate air rifle.

Nick Nardone I wanted to drop a few lines about your GRT-lll Trigger. This trigger is Absolutely Fantastic. You are a Genius and a God Send too all of us. With your Trigger youhave transformed my Crosman Sierra Pro from an air rifle I would occasionally shoot, too one I find hard to stop shooting. It is now on my list of favorites. Your trigger is so easy to install with your instructions, it’s incredible. Since installing the GRT-lll trigger these are some of the changes in the performance of the Sierra Pro: 1. The trigger pull went from 88oz.(5.5lbs.) too 24oz.(1.5lbs.) 2. The trigger has gone from a rough travel with a heavy break too a smooth travel with a very crisp light but manageable break. 3. It has shrunk my groups @ 33 feet from 1 inch too 3/16 of an inch 4. Not to mention it also adds to the aesthetic looks of the gun. And all for a very fair price.
I Can't Thank You Enough. I am
finally getting what I expected from theSierra Pro.
E-Mail from: Ryan H. Date: Monday 4/4/09 11:48 am Your triggers are amazing. I have a Gamo that I was about ready to toss in the garbage. It wasn't accurate, the trigger was mushy and all in all, a piece of junk. I ordered your trigger as a last ditch effort. I wasn't expecting much of a change, but after installing the trigger it's the most accurate tack driver I've ever owned. I'm able to hit the bulls consistently at 50 yards. Excellent product and worth every penny, thank you! Ryan
E-Mail from:
John W. Smith Bob, Got the trigger in today's mail. I recently purchased a Crosman Quest 1000 and the reason that I purchased the trigger was because the factory trigger required a tremendous amount of trigger pull to shoot. Adjustment of the supposedly 2 stage trigger did nothing other than shorten the second stage while increasing the free play of the first stage. I am used to shooting big bore and varmint rifles that have a 1 to 2 lb trigger pull and was looking to improve the feel of the Quest 1000 to that of what I was used to. So I was a little apprehensive that your product would perform as advertised. The installation went smoothly and as the instructions indicated it took about 15 minutes to do the install. I did not do any modifications to the first or second stages and the trigger housing was real clean without any sharp edges so there was not any modifications that was required in that respect. The safety engaged without any problem and the trigger pull was noticeably lighter which is what I was hoping to achieve. After assembly I test fired a few shots at my target in the back yard and the difference was incredible. The trigger pull was smooth and consistent from shot to shot. It has made this air rifle a real pleasure to shoot. I am duly impressed with this trigger and am glad that I made the decision to buy it and I will definitely recommend it to my friends that have air rifles that can accommodate this trigger. Thank you for a very superior product. Respectfully, John W. Smith Felton From the Peoples Democratic Republic of California

Absolutely great, - no comparison with the factory trigger. This trigger is very easily installed, is "quick" and has an "easy touch" to it. I also have a Gamo Whisper, which I'll be ordering a GRT-III for this coming week. Also can't say enough about the quick turn-around and service after the order. I would highly recommend anyone who's "thinking about it" - to go ahead and buy one. Thanks, John H. Nashua, N.H.

I recently had my new Whisper Deluxe
tuned by Bob (Charlie Da Tuna). I can't begin to
tell you how happy I am with the whole experience,
just great service all the way around. So far I've only managed to squeeze about 100 rounds through it due to the cold weather here and I know that it's going to take quite a few more before it's really broke in but man I just can't believe how nice it's shooting already. Now keep in mind that this is my first springer or air rifle aside from my little Daisy when I was a kid, so I don't have anything to really gauge it by. I do know the recoil seems to be about 1/3 of what it used to be and it's much quieter and just all around smoother. There was a little hitch in the cocking mechanism before the tune and now that's like butter. As for the noise, it's makes less noise than the little Crossman C11 CO2 pistol I have. I can't thank you enough Bob, you were a pleasure to deal with. Mike S.

John Blount Bob, The GRT-III arrived today, thank you for a quality product! I tend to tell things like I see them, no BS here ever, if it's a spade I say so, if it smells like a Rose I say so. With that said I must admit I am nearly overwhelmed in this small dealing with you. The GRT-III is indeed the unit I saw installed in a Gamo David Slade had last year (I wasn't sure before receiving ours) but even after seeing I had ordered the correct unit my skill certainly do not match "The Trigger Man's" however after looking at the most comprehensive detailed documented instructions I have ever seen for anything I felt I would attempt installation myself (David had offered to help if needed) and a most satisfying few minutes of work it was. After just a few test shots I went ahead and adjusted both the first and second stage (it did arrive set well for most peoples use, just good to go, but this is going to be a back-up/loaner FT rifle and I wanted to see what it would do and I feel it will be most adequate for my intended purpose. You sell a fine product and set a standard for instructions so high no one I have dealt with even comes close. Also your prompt communications and shipping are A+. I will be posting a small review on airgun advice and will highly recommend doing business with you to anyone. Thank you, John Blount

ESPAÑOL http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=1nmrEIqZDZg English: It's a pity that the factory trigger is not popular in Spain, that's why I write my impressions in Spanish, so more people can enjoy this improvement for gamo airguns. After all, it's made in my country and our American friend Charlie is who has been responsible of its improve. I'm not an expert in airguns and I won't use technical words, pressure of the trigger or steps, but what I can say is that it really improves the precision when you shoot. My wife's words summaries everything the first time she used it: done already? It's so smooth than you almost don't have to press. The quality feeling is clear. For its price, it's a must. What can make you hesitate is its installation, piece of cake. It took me less than 3 minutes to install and it's really hard to do it wrong if you follow the instructions of the website.

E-Mail from: Tom Bilen So what is the difference for me? I would loose my breath trying to pull the stock trigger consistently and have to re hold all the time. I think that Gamo must err on the side of stupidity. What I mean by that is that the trigger is so hard to pull through the "2nd stage" that they must have made it that way on purpose so that those "special" people that don't practice proper safe shooting techniques and walk around with their finger on the trigger of a loaded gun don't shoot by accident. Now the trigger is very light but you can feel the 2nd stage. 2nd stage is quite short and quick and I think that this is perfect as the it requires almost no effort to pull though but you do feel it. I can't wait to see how my groups will improve now as I know the heavy 2nd stage was so heavy that I had difficulty not shifting the sight picture when I finally pulled hard enough to get through the factory 2nd stage.
Thanks for a great product and service. The
only improvement I can think of is to offer it in
other finishes (nickle, pewter, black anodized, etc)
in addition to the standard gold.
