Terrible design. In addition to what Killer~safecracker said, putting the mag behind the trigger makes it much worse.

I agree up to a point, if you load 3 bullets in to it its as if the trigger is where the magazine is.
Anyway, i will improve the trigger design on my next gun.

Never never never never never put a trigger that far forward! There are lots of ways to get a trigger farther back than that. Anytime you have the bullet before the trigger you loose a ton of power. Add the trigger placement like that you're lucky to get 10 feet.
