Magnetically actuated sear

A magnetically actuated sear for simulated firearm training is disclosed. The magnetically actuated sear includes a magnet and a magnet catch. The magnetically actuated sear facilitates a crisp trigger break thereby replicating the actual sear release of a firearm. The application of a suitable external trigger force causes the magnet catch to travel along the fulcrum away from the magnet. The greater the difference between the holding force when the magnet is in direct contact with the magnet catch and the attraction force between the magnet and the magnet catch, the crisper the magnetically actuated sear will feel. The magnetically actuated sear can be designed so that slack or trigger creep of the magnetically actuated sear can be matched to the actual firearm's slack or trigger creep.
