You said what not to say (the "W" word).

But you stopped short of providing the correct verbiage to avoid appearing stupid.

But, I found this...

Eventually an option was developed and that was the 2-stage trigger. With this option the
shooter applies pressure, but the trigger does not immediately fire. Instead, the initial pressure
caused the trigger to travel slightly, and action that many refer to as “taking up the slack”.
This first stage ends the shooter feels resistance, or hits a wall, and must apply additional
pressure to cause the trigger to break. If that pressure is applied the sequence is identical
to that of a single stage trigger; the pin is released, and a round is fired. The main difference
occurs when the shooter decides not to apply that final increased pressure and simply lets
off the trigger. When this happens a spring or return caused the trigger to reset to its original
position. The pin is not released, the round does not fire, and the shoot [sic] can start over for
subsequent shoots [sic].

Did you hit the w---?

Did you hit the plateau?

Did you hit the epitome of resistance?

Did you hit the point of decision?

Did you hit the point of return or no return?

"Wall" for pistol or rifle triggers? 

What if single stage trigger?  Where's the wall? 

Is "prep the trigger" more GC?  Gunlitically Correct? 

 ;D

Speaking of triggers. . . what triggered the "wall"?   ???

BTW, this is something else that's annoying.

Nowhere in the nursery rhyme does it even hint that Humpty Dumpty is an egg.  When did this depiction start?  Is it just another fake narrative?

And who believes horses have the skills, not to mention the manual dexterity, to put anything back together again -- especially a living entity?

I'm way more troubled by this irrational poem we teach children that the description of firearm trigger functionality.

It is by definition a wall. Don’t tell me what to do

How about "bulkhead"?

That other word would tee off DI's.
