Re: Double Roller Trigger for Pathos handle, Ermes Sub
Another update; the one I have in my D1 handle has a very smooth pull but it does sit a tiny bit proud. At some point I’ll pull it out and see if I didn’t take enough handle material off or whether...

That’s good news. I guess it means the whole thing did work out in the end?
I’m surprised we haven’t seen it mentioned here or perhaps I missed it.
