    Another question for you Angel owners

    Alright - I cannot figure out what the hell is going on. When I pull the trigger on my 05 Speed, nothing happens. When I release the trigger, it fires. It's like Auto-Response, except it doesn't work when the trigger is pulled. I read the manual and found nothing about it. Anyone know how to fix this?

    pull off the grips and examine the microswitch to make sure that its not broken AND that the microswitch isn't being blocked or pushed on other than the trigger.

    also, back out the trigger screws so that the trigger. i have a feeling that the set screw is pulling when it should be pushing and vice versa.

    Is the switch set up so that it is operating on the normally closed set of contacts instead of normally open set? Another setup would be if the marker has a custom board in it and it has an option to be programmed to operate on the release instead of the pull.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

    The board is a stock board. Also, it fires using an optical switch. A piece of metal on the back of the trigger activates an optical switch inside the board when the trigger is pulled.

    Your metal strip on the front of your optical switch is probably bent in too far or your trigger is permanently set too far back. The optical switch works by blocking the light signal by pushing the metal strip back. The strip also has an opening part way in on the strip. If the strip is adjusted so that the light is blocked by the back of the strip when it is sitting in the static postition, then it won't fire when you push it farther back so that the optical sensor is shining through that hole. It will fire when you release the trigger so that the metal strip comes back to the blocked static position.

    Adjust the position of your optical strip and/or your trigger so that it is farther forward and you should be good to go.

    I'm hoping to find someone who will let me borrow their trigger so that I can take measurements and ensure that my self-manufactured metal piece is as close to stock as possible.
