Foot trigger is best. Less strain on your hand and trigger finger.

Yep, foot pedal is ideal.....just step on the pedal and it'll keep the air supply open....i modified my guns to be on constant....hand cramps after a while with that darn triggor

I think the pedal makes more sense.

yeap... you guys are all on the right track. Foot pedal leaves your hands free for useful things like manipulating your parts and holding the gun. Way to go on helping each other out,guys. THIS is what it's all about! .... Russ

Lol...All you need to do is remove the triggor system...remove the spring part and use a bolt as a plug, than pick up a air pedal that goes betwen the air supply and the gun.
