1) It's noisy/gritty. The detent piece was not smooth/polished and emits a fairly loud scratchy sound when activated. I don't hear it on the short travel trigger pull/break but it delivers a moderate rasping sound when you pull the trigger in an uncocked scenario( like when removing the bolt.) I have no doubt that this unnecessary grittyness is NOT good in a trigger system but admit I could have got a bad part. ( This part should have been tumble polished at teh factory!) I've contacted CS.
2) The tiny screw that holds the shoe to the blade could be problematic. It's uses a minute Allen key to tighten the shoe so that it squeezes onto the blade to hold it in place. This screw seems like it could strip out easily. the problem being is that the shoe is just wide enough that it will not fit through the trigger slot in the stock. i.e. The blade must be removed every time the stock comes off. If that screw gets stuck in there, it's going to take a drill (and allot of nerve) to get the gun apart. This is a poor design of a critical path component in the opinion of this retired Mechanical Engineer.
Don't get me wrong, the ELF trigger works well but it's not perfect. We'll see what their CS department says about all this.
