Another Patriot Ordnance Factory drop-in trigger — this time the 4.5 lb unit with KNS anti-walk pins in the box.
I picked up a POF drop-in trigger system (about 4.5 lb advertised) because POF has been dead-nuts reliable for me — clean breaks, heavy hammers, no light primer strikes. Kit includes KNS anti-walk pins and braces (~$33 value) plus thread-locker-coated screws. POF triggers are not sold on Amazon, so the buy box is the Wheeler pull scale I used in the video (same approach as prior POF posts). Here is install feel and the scale numbers.
- Drop-in with quality KNS pins included
- Heavy hammer feel I like
- Short travel and an immediate reset wall
- Reliable track record for me vs light-strike issues elsewhere
- POF trigger itself is not an Amazon product
- New trigger pull varies with where you hook the scale
- ~$120 is mid-pack for precision drop-ins

Why another POF
Nothing artisanal — black anodized traditional look — but I stick with what works. Heavy hammers and clean shooting; I have replaced other triggers that light-struck primers and never had that with these. Going into a pistol build.
Install and feel
Press the assemblies fully up, lower the unit, get the KNS pins in with a punch. Matched tactical black. Extra mass on the hammer. Empty/safety-checked: little take-up, great reset — feels like you are right against the wall, then it fires.
Wheeler scale numbers
Mid-face pull about 5.5 lb; lower on the face about 4.5 lb. Pulling low is not totally fair because the hook slides up, so mid-face is the honest number on a brand-new trigger. Scale is what the Amazon box links.
