Abstract

A trigger assembly for a paintball gun preferably includes a trigger having a bearing assembly arranged snugly within a bearing receptacle of the trigger to provide a trigger pivot. The bearing assembly can include a pin receptacle on each side of the bearing assembly to receive a pair of trigger pins in a mating relationship. The trigger assembly can be mounted in a paintball gun by arranging the trigger and bearing assembly in a trigger groove of a grip frame of the paintball gun and aligning the pin receptacles with pin holes formed through the wall of the grip frame on opposite sides of the trigger groove. The pins can then be inserted through the pin holes into firm contact with sidewalls of the pin receptacle(s). Each of the pins can be independently adjusted to arrange the trigger in a desired lateral location within the trigger groove. By providing a firm engagement between the pins and the pin receptacles of the bearing assembly and a snug fit between the bearing assembly and the bearing receptacle of the trigger, lateral stability can be imparted to the trigger throughout its entire course of travel.
