Electronic vs mechanical trigger?

[Celia]

I have been shooting 22. And airguns with mechanical trigger systems for a while now.(pardini, hammerli, tesro, walther)

I just bought 2 new walthers (lp500 and ssp 22.) both with electronic triggers. I have no idea what to expect and I'm kind of scared that it was a bad idea to go all in on electronics.

Any experience?

I luv 'em!

I have a Steyr EVO LP10e and Walther SSPe, and for me the triggers are very good.
The only issue I've experienced is that it took som time to get used to the lack of travel after the shot breaks on the Walther SSP because of the pressure sensor.

Thank you. Can I ask for your opinion on the
walther ssp-e?
I look very much forward to getting mine. I have read that it only eats a certain kind of ammo. Can you please tell me what you use?

Is the SSP-E trigger a two-stage trigger ie does it have a first stage (distance) to pull through or is it only a pressure sensor with no actual movement through any stage?

From the Walther site...
"Advantages of the Walther e-trigger:
· Wear-free operation and exact trigger settings over many years
· Choice between adjustable two-stage mode (precision) and
direct trigger mode (rapid fire)
· Realistic dry-firing conditions (dry-fire trigger)
· Rechargeable battery
· Rechargeable via mini-USB from any PC or included charger
- Charging time for 100 shots: approx. 1 min.
- Total charging time: approx. 90 min.
- Number of shots that can be fired with one
battery charge: approx. 6000
· LED indicators for system readiness and battery charge level
· Automatic e-trigger turnoff when not in use"

I upgraded from SSP mechanical 1.5 year ago, and I've used SK Pistol Match in both all the time.
I have tried about 50 RWS that i had for free whitout any issues.
My best advise is to try different kinds and find out what Works.
I think the older SSP guns are more choosy about ammo.

"I think the older SSP guns are more choosy about ammo."

Not my experience, my older SSP shoots anything. It has not had a miss feed in its entire life. Two or three eject failures and half a dozen rims struck without the shot firing. My SSP is six to seven years old. SK Pistol match has been faultless. I have used Geco, lots of CCI, Lapua , Eley, RWS and other assorted ammo brands. It is the most reliable ammo insensitive pistol I have owned. Clean the chamber occasionally to make sure the rounds go in freely.
