Eclipse Blade Review


First, it's aluminum, not Stainless Steal so it's light. Second, it adjusts very easy. It comes with instructions. Installation took me less than 10 minutes.  The trigger does not come with extra springs, but with the built in tension spring in the grip frame of the Impulse extra springs are not needed.

I have a slow trigger finger and this trigger allows me to rip some shots.

Here is the trigger in the package.

The Blade is available in both black and silver.

To install

  1. Remove the grip frame/lower body from the upper body. Be careful not to pull the wires that connect the solenoid to the board.
  2. Separate the lower body from the grip frame. You will need to disconnect the battery to do this.
  3. Remove both c clips and pull out the two pins.
  4. Insert the new trigger.
  5. Adjust to your liking.
  6. You will need to use a little blue loc-tite on the set screws to prevent them from backing out on you.  If you do not the top screw can loosen and this will prevent the Impulse from shooting.
  7. After adjusting the trigger, reverse the process to reassemble your Impulse.

Once installed there is no side-to-side slop at all.   The trigger fits into the frame like a hand into a glove.  The pins also fit snugly so that the trigger does not move about.

Here is the start of the removal of the stock trigger.

NOTE: I failed to mention this earlier, but to adjust the Blade trigger you will need a set of Metric Allens. You use the 1.5 to adjust the trigger. Remember that Planet Eclipse is in England.
