Roll triggers in Air Pistol?

Am reading with interest the ongoing discussion on Roll triggers.

How well suited is this type of trigger setup for ISSF Airpistol?
Do any international shooters use it?
All Air pistols I have owned and tried have been set up with a crisp 2 stage trigger break.

The Steyr LP10P has a roll trigger.

Dan,
If you have been reading this thread, and the several previous threads on this topic, then you know that a) usinng a roll or crisp trigger is a matter of personal preference; b) what is crisp to one shooter may be a slight roll to another. If it works for you, then it is irrelevant who else uses it.

Fred,
I understand what your saying and I know how a roll trigger would feel.
But I have never felt one on an AP!
All triggers I have felt have had zero to a slightly perceptible creep.

Does onyone use a noticeable roll trigger in Airpistol?

Traditionally clean break triggers have been used for precision, roll for faster events.

The Pardini K60 had a roll (sometimes also dirty) trigger. Unfortunately Di Donna did not like that kind of trigger, so the Pardini K2 has a different, more clean trigger. Last year I've tried a Steyr LP1. The owner changed the original spring of the first stage. The new one was much bigger and stronger(of course it was impossible to set it into the same little hole). Well, the strange thing was that the feeling of the trigger (about 350 gr. on the first stage, and about 150 gr. on the second stage) was *completely* different. Much like the Pardini K60.

Waiting for the more technically minded shooters to give their point of view.
Would love to hear what the 2 Davids have to say on the subject.

Dan,
If you do a search on - roll AND trigger - you will come up with a page of discussion on this topic. There is an especially interesting and highly technical one from a contributor by the name of Ruig. I suspect you have received minimal responses because this subject has already been discussed many, many times on this site. There has also been extensive discussion of roll vs crisp triggers in Bullseye pistols on the Bullseye-L site
