Daisy 1200 vs Pop Can

Just finished an assault on a pop can with my 1200 BB pistol. Ripped it up for a fair-thee-well.
Question, how come my 1200 has such a sweet trigger with a nice gentle pull when my 880 has a nasty hard pull.
I'm getting used to the 880 and it shoots well, but the 1200 is a lot more fun. It also packs a LOT more wallop than my Crosman 357.

The answer is unfortunately simple.....
Your 1200 was made before the lawyers got heavily involved in the manufacturing process...

ON THE DATE WHEN US TROOPS ARE ISSUED AN Energy Pulse Weapon,
1. The US Soldier will have on his person a version of the Colt 1911.
2. He will be aiming the NEW Weapon at someone carrying an AK47.

I don't remember the 880 as ever having a decent trigger.
It has to do with the fact that you are compressing the hammer spring with it.

I have been recently assaulting a lot of pop cans,
My daughter, nephew, and I put over 1000 rounds through each of my bb repeaters..
A dan wesson, a tanfoglio witness 1911, and a walther cp99
The trigger on the 1911 is superb for a bb repeater, light, crisp,
The walther is not far behind it tigger wise..
And they do a good quick number on a pop can...

Tanfoglio witness. this is THE gun, if you want a 1911. I tried the Daisy Avanti BBs and they work the best!!
P.S. I have 3 of the Daisy 1200 pistols.
