Black Talon Tactical's story starts in 1988 when Dave Wiese, a University of Minnesota mechanical engineering student, decided to get real-world manufacturing experience. He began working at a tool and die shop while studying, and in 1991 he started his own Wire EDM business right next door—and stayed there ever since.
Over three decades, that EDM shop evolved. Wiese added Swiss machines, lathes, and 3 and 5 axis mills to his operation. He manufactured AR components like gas keys, firing pins, and cam pins. He made pistol barrels and internal components for various firearms manufacturers.
Then in 2016, everything changed. A major AR rifle manufacturer asked him to make their trigger, hammer, and disconnect for a drop-in trigger design. This led to contracts with other trigger manufacturers. But Wiese noticed a problem: the pull force on factory triggers—including most on the market—was wildly inaccurate. They'd vary plus or minus half a pound (8 oz) or worse.
He knew he could do better.
Black Talon triggers are calibrated to ±1 ounce pull force accuracy. That's not a marketing claim—it's engineered precision.
"The best damn triggers, period." - Trey Lindsey, Retired SEAL Team 6 Leader
