During the Korean War, the need for an effective solution to combat the extreme winter conditions became paramount. To address this challenge, a specialized winter trigger was designed for the M1 Garand rifle. This ingenious device featured a modified design that allowed soldiers to manipulate the trigger more easily while wearing thick gloves or mittens. The winter trigger incorporated larger and more prominent surfaces, enabling a soldier's gloved finger to engage with precision, ensuring reliable and responsive firing in the bitter cold. With the winter trigger, soldiers could maintain their grip and dexterity while engaging the enemy, providing them with a significant advantage in the unforgiving Korean winter landscape. These triggers were not without their shortcomings however, and they have become somewhat notorious in collectors circles due to safety concerns. By bypassing the trigger guard, these winter triggers make it significantly easier for a user to pull the trigger negligently.
While researching this video, I found that the available information on the implementation of M1 Garand winter triggers was seriously lacking. If you have more insight on when, where, and how often these winter triggers were used, please let me know in the comments!
