I own 8 Diamonds purchased since July. One exhibited these symptoms at sight-in before a match yesterday. First three shots were all hangfires. I came back home and pulled all 8 triggers to get the information required on their site for the "enhanced warranty". I seriously don't want to send them all 8 triggers and wait for the replacements to come and I hope they will send me new ones first. I also hope they actually have them in stock. Their website says they are delayed on shipping orders. At this point, I have zero confidence in these triggers seeing as how I missed the match.
Interestingly, the page that Orkan linked above says this problem manifests itself in the first 250. Mine first presented well after 600 rounds.

How long for warranty replacements???
Yeh if I'm going to travel for a big match, I'm going to keep my Huber trigger in my pack as a backup.
had the exact same thing happen, happened after about 20rds.
I received my new Diamond Single Stage 2 weeks ago. Got it installed on my Bergara B14R Friday. It has 308 live rounds on it at 150 dry fires. It went kaput today after 75 rounds. Trigger was set to 18oz for all rounds fired. I have contacted by phone but not the website. I will be doing this shortly. I hope it is covered as they say and a quick response for replacements. I know they will take care of the problem. I was able to take a video of the problem in action. I could also get my trigger to feel like the safety was on when it was off. Wiggle the bolt and hammer fall. Glad I had the problem before the next NRL22 match in 2 weeks.
This happened with my 2stage diamond. Lift bolt slightly and FP dropped. Safety on/off and trigger would work fine.
Tried it again a week later and it was fine...weird
I just had the safety get stuck on my diamond. I could not get it to move. Contacted Triggertech and they sent me shipping label. The shipped a new one to me the next day.
Now that is interesting. Mine would have the safety off and squeeze the trigger and it was like pulling against a wall. Lift the bolt and click. Next squeeze a slight click and no drop lift bolt and click. Did this 10-25 times in 90 sec and only 2 times did it fire like it should.
It looks like the recall is o lay for the diamond single stage. Weren’t some problems reported here on the two stage as well? I’ve got one that is still in the box, just delivered last week. I guess I should just install it and shoot it and see what happens?
I went with TT over BnA because the TT has (had?) a stellar reputation for reliability. Sounds like they’re making it right.

2 stages are having issues as well from my understanding.
Every brand has hiccups. TT isn't immune. They are a great brand, and will make it right.
Shame you passed on the BnA trigger. Single best upgrade I've made to my rifles is going from TT to BnA. Of course, that's subjective. They are both top tier triggers. I just happen to think BnA has a better feature set.
I've ran my TT 2-stage diamond now for about 1000 rounds and so far luckily no issue.

This is my trigger info after I filled out my ticket for warranty.
Yes. I've talked to people that had the same type of failure I've seen, with specials, primary's, and two stages.
Mine is FH2G-xxxx...looks like from this year Aug 2nd?
Played around with it again last night, and even switching safety on/off and pulling the trigger couldn't drop the FP. Lifting the bolt slightly will drop the FP (intermittently).
I'm gonna ask for a replacement for this trigger. I have a backup 2Stage that i installed and it seems to work fine. This is just dry firing on a stripped action.

My BnA's are all 2 stage.
I've come to really like 2 stage triggers, I like that extra stage of control over the trigger. More personal preference then anything.
I saw that video, couldn't tell if he was using a TT or not, though I kind of assumed it might be... It's also a great video for people who I've been talking to about not sky loading. They kept telling me that they felt it was fine and there was nothing unsafe about it, as long as their finger wasn't near the trigger.
He was using a TT
What action is that? (grainy vid)
These incidents should highlight the importance of range safety, I think we as a broad group (especially the competition side) take for granted the safety of our rifle systems at times.
Numerous times I've seen at matches people get a bit too relaxed with even the most basic safety protocols. Flagging people, sky loading, forgetting loaded magazines in rifles, ND's, leaving bolts closed while rifles are in staging area, rifles pointed at others with bolts closed in a staging area, etc. The "jersey shooters" seem to be the worst offenders in my experience, perhaps it's complacency from being at comps all the time with no serious incidents occurring.
Personally, I think it would behoove MD's and league owners/board members to take rifle safety more seriously, before a serious incident occurs. A few already do, like Rifles Only. But a lot seem pretty relaxed. Again, perhaps it's complacency or even worse, a "it can't happen to me" mentality.
TT's are really popular, and I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing more ND's at matches. And when that happens, I hope shooters take rifle safety more seriously then they have in the past...
Pulled my barreled-action today, sure enough I have a LH TTD in the affected SN range.
Just emailed the info-form on TT's website, waiting for the return label. Mine has @ 180 rounds of 6.5 man bun on it, and probably @ 50 dry fires, no problems yet, but not gonna wait for failure on the line like that video...
Will use another older one pulled from another rifle, hope mine ships the next day too!
Good of TT to offer the quick assistance.

Haven't heard of hang fire issues but I do know that TT does not prefer certain actions (Impact being one). Numerous shooters have had slam fires occur when they run the bolt forward.
Had a Primary go down in a LASD SEB POST SNIPER SCHOOL this week the rifle has a round count of 821. I have a call into the CEO of TT still waiting for his call back... Any LEO Teams that are running these contact TT ASAP...

I was suppose to receive a call from him early this week as well, but have not. I sure hope everything's all right over there.
I have some new replacement triggers on the warranty program arriving soon. I will have them in a few rifles and be putting some rounds through them over the coming weeks. I'll be sure to report back how they are functioning.
Waiting on 2 replacements.....were supposedly shipping last Friday..??
Just saw a diamond sear brake in half this last weekend at a match. It was on an impact action. Caused him a stage dq. Luckily someone had a bix n Andy that he was able to borrow for the rest of the match.
Just pulled mine, and found it is in the recall. I really hoped it wasn’t, works flawlessly now. Oh well I’ll start warranty process, better now then July I guess.

Mine is in the recall. RimX action. Had a few hang fires 2 weeks ago, I though were due to shooting in -25C weather with Lapua center-X. I thought I was the cold or the firing pin needed to be cleaned/lubed. Seriously considering going to BnA.
I’m just going to stick with Diamond, love this trigger.
Buddy's shit the bed past weekend. TTD single stage. Press trigger, followed by 6 second hangfire, then would drop. TL3. During the 6 seconds, any slight touch to bolt would fire. Sketchy. In the recall range, going back. My own new replacement is already shipping to me, all in all, happy the problem was recognized and rectified.
I have one that I had put on on a build I just got at the end of January. New production, build date code puts it first week of January 2021. 350 ish rounds on it and it went down this weekend during 6th stage of a match. Impact action. Started to hang fire during a stage and afterward dry firing it would drop the firing pin after a delay that seemed to get worse each time. Luckily it did not become a safety issue and a buddy had a backup in his pack and I got to finish match. I'm looking at other alternatives as a primary because this was built after the supposed fix.
Diamond ? Single stage ?
Yes it is a Diamond single stage flat shoe.
Wow, that is a bummer to hear. Glad you were able to finish the stage.
Seems the TT Special is NOT having many problems at all......wonder why??
