With due diligence and a lot of practice, you can time the release to coincide with the sights coming into alignment. I guess over a 10-stage course, the tenths and hundredths of a second accumulate so that a winner can be declared in case of a points tie...so I suppose it's a worthwhile endeavor.
Interesting that a world-class shooter would describe the sound as sear reset. I guess it just goes to show that the top guns don't always understand how their guns function. The sear resets at an eight-inch or less of slide travel rearward. The sound that he referred to was the disconnect resetting.

The Clinton assault weapons ban killed the USPSA open class (formula 1 to tie this together for you). With the 10 round magazine rule.
Does an SAO Tanfoglio have a disconnector?
I though those were removed on SA guns. They are removed on SA CZ75's. But I do not own a Tanfo, but I thought they were similar designs.
Only on a gun forum can you post a legend and master of the sport, and rather than listen to what he says, people choose to poopoo his fancy guns and attack the verbiage he uses and totally ignore the message, haha! Priceless.

Has a disconnctor that the slide hits upon cycling that disconnects the trigger bar from the action. Resetting the trigger restablishes that connection. I could be mistaken but without a disconnector it would be full auto no?
I believe this is a CZ disco, no? Attached to hammer. It's removed on SA guns.
Have no idea what it looks like on Tanfo.

There is a lobe on your TS' trigger bar/bow on the left hand side that the slide strikes when traveling to the rear and this knocks it out of alignment with the firing mechanism until it is "reset" or that connection is restablished. That lobe would be considered your disconnector IMHO. If you filed it off you will have made a home brew full auto pistol. That hook is part of the DA mechanism.
I am even less of an expert on these pistols or gunsmithing in general just remember playing with it when we fit your safety.

Indeed. Always heard it called a "trigger bar" tho, and the disconnector called the "disconnector", since we are splitting hairs, haha.
Meh. At any rate, dummy JJ probably calls it a "discombobulator" and likely has no idea at all how or why it works. Probably just brings a gunsmith with him everywhere.

Ouch. Razor wit.

Disabling the disconnector just lets the hammer follow the slide back down right? For full auto, don't you still need a disconnector of some sort, but something that releases it when back into battery?
I wrote to American Handgunner magazine one time and asked them to not print letters from Engineers anymore.

With a TS Orange not having a firing pin block I imagine it could touch a round off but I can't say for sure and I doubt @NKD will let us experiment with his! You are correct though. Would need a delay to get back into battery in order to be reliable and for proper operation.

I generally reset mine just before the primer ignites.
