Should I Worry About The "Wiggle Trigger" On My S&W 1854 Lever Action Or My Marlin 1895 Trapper?

When examining his brand new Smith & Wesson 1854 lever Action Rifle, the Doctor discovered that when cocked, the trigger freely swung back and forth...a condition he dubbed "Wiggle Trigger." This raised a couple of questions; 1) Is "Wiggle Trigger" necessarily a bad thing, and 2) Do other firearms suffer from this condition?
Please let us know in the comment section if you have a firearm that suffers from "Wiggle Trigger" and if it affects the overall use or enjoyment of the gun.

1:02 - 1855 S&W - I believe 😉 or so I was told by an expert!! Great video- I think starting a trigger wiggle series is called for- keep them coming!! Only thing missing is a cowboy 🤠 hat!!!

I’ve affectionately nicknamed my 1854 ‘’MBB’’or ‘’Marlin Made Better’’!

LOL. I definitely agree when compared to the Remington Marlins, but the new Ruger Marlins are pretty awesome!! ...That is not to take away from the S&W 1854 at all. Put either in my hand and I'm having a great day😎

all my levers have wiggle trigger. 2 Winchester 1894 and 1 marlin 1895

[@DrTac]

That does make me feel better about it. Is it something you had previously noticed?

[@ram218313]

@@DrTac yes i noticed it previously and when i researched it found to to be normal for those models. i didn’t know it was on the smith and wesson model though

Thanks for the feedback. I actually never noticed it on my Marlin 1895 Trapper (in 45-70), until it got my attention with the S&W 1854…and I only noticed it because of how egregious it was. That said, it works fine and I really don’t see a problem with it. Thank you again for taking the time to comment.
