Heck, I think a gun named “Crown” better have trigger components made of “regal” materials

Plastic??? trigger parts in FX??

I don't think there is a clear-cut argument for using plastic vs. metal in such applications. There are well-known poor applications of plastic, but similarly, there are some really poor executions of metal parts. The issue is whether or not you've used the appropriate materials well or not. Plastic **can** if used well, be very reliable in heavy-use applications, like internal combustion engines. Trigger groups have plenty of places where plastic could be used successfully.

I’m aware that there are certain applications in where polymers can be effectively implemented, but I also think that in such applications the price should so commensurate. If BRK, for instance, decided that a plastic trigger would be best on a Ghost, then the price should be lower than its current $2k retail price.
The reason I take issue with a plastic trigger blade is that with repeated pull cycles the mounting joint, hole, etc. starts developing a wider tolerance or play as it is softer than alloy and tends to become brittle over time or from exposure to the elements.

Bad mouthing something you are paid to repair seems a foolish business model. Seems petty and…well, unprofessional.
