Boss1622 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 I just picked up a Rival-S, my first Canik. I'm moving to CO from Limited (SVI with the Lone Star Innovations grip). It looks like the Freedomsmith trigger is a great way to go but they offer a lot of options and it hard to choose. I have XXL Hands and like a flat trigger. I dont think I want one thats wider than a normal 1911/2011. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxGuy Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) I have a FS Zombie Pro in a TP9 SFX and my Rival S Dark Side. I like the way the actual blade is small and the sides are beveled in towards the trigger safety. It makes the trigger (to me) just a little more 2011ish. The hook on the bottom is very beneficial.

Boss1622 Posted March 11, 2023 Author Share Posted March 11, 2023 Thanks, I'm leaning towards that one from your previous posts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben53 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I like the Zombie Pro also, have it on my original TP9SFx. No complaints at all, dropped right in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisDeRouen Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 I have the zombie pro, vanguard, and sport. By far, the sport is my favorite. The zombie feels good, but when pushing speed....I'd tend to have trigger pull. The hook on the bottom of the trigger is what aided the exaggeration of it imo. The vanguard is nice....but the sport is just the best. I can push speeds a lot without noticing as much trigger pull (if my finger isn't perfect). My sport is also a hair wider than the vanguard which feels nice, and yet it still has the beveled edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxGuy Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 What would be cool (and help us out) is to run calipers on the flat front of the trigger faces for comparison. I like the ZP but maybe a different trigger in the Rival S will be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChef1 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I’ve got the sport in 4 caniks now. I love it. I had a pro first but didn’t really like the hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss1622 Posted March 14, 2023 Author Share Posted March 14, 2023 Someone should help Freedomsmith with their website/marketing. Profile pictures or line drawings would be great. As would face dimensions. It would also be nice if they could maintain a list of current production models, it looks like they just post what they have in stock.

Tried to buy this today for the exact same gun. This picture shows the trigger farther back than my stock on. I ordered the same model and they cancelled my order and said I chose the wrong trigger.

pcar157 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I love the short take up/pre-travel with Freedom Smith triggers. However I like the OEM Canik design flat face with no safety blade protruding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Tried to order the Zombie Pro for my Rival-S. They immediately cancelled it and said it would not work. Any recommendations for a trigger to minimize the pre-travel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxGuy Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 You have to be careful and make sure you are ordering the right shoe. Be patient and they will offer the ZP for the Rival again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggernaut Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Pinnacle Pro. Short reach, great feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisDeRouen Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Anyone have a Gold "Sport" trigger shoe for the Rival? Been refreshing daily for a while to no avail. Wtb or trade for.....I have an unopened Gold "Racer" and an unopened Black "Pinnacle Pro." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRAB Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I have small hands and I cannot properly reach the stock trigger on my Rival S. I have a friend who is using the Vanguard and I can reach his trigger. So, I bought a Vanguard and installed it. I took measurements before and after. The Vanguard trigger moves the trigger back about 6.5mm, which is about .25 inches. It made all the difference in the world. So, that is my recommendation for a shooter with a small hand/LOP and is looking for a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
