Looking at the Geissele SSA or SD-C since lots of members here use and like Geissele thought I would try one.
I have two complete AR's a fracken rifle and a SigM400 pistol both with factory LPK. I would like to up grade either one to test if the Geissele trigger is worth the $. Have 3 striped lowers and if I like the Geissele then these 3 will get the same model Geissele also. These will be for training, HD and duty use. Just cant decide between these tow triggers. I suck at searching on here and would love any info you guys can give me. Thanks |

Another vote for the SSA. However, I am interested in trying the Larue MBT on my next build.

I've got the ssa e on my ar10. Love it. The super 3gun is awesome as well.

SSA
Then all of those rifles you mentioned will have one. My first upgrade trigger was an LMT 2 stage, and I thought I had really stepped up. That trigger resides in my least shot rifle in the back of one of the safes, now. |

Thanks View Quote People have vastly different opinions about this, but my personal preference for a trigger that MAY be used in the defense of your home or during the dispatching of "bad guys" while on duty, is that I prefer a single stage trigger. I could tell you why I prefer a single stage trigger, but your thread would suddenly turn into a shitstorm with all the "experts" out there arguing why this trigger is much better than that trigger, etc. Let me add that IMHO, you probably shouldn't go with too light of a trigger pull on any rifle you may be aiming at a human being, whether in your home or on duty. Adrenaline can cause a finger to put more pressure on the trigger than a shooter intends to. Just some food for thought. I would want no less than a 3 lb. pull (and preferably around 4 lbs.) on a trigger for a rifle to be aimed at human beings. YMMV....good luck in your quest for the right trigger. |

I have Geissele SSAs in 6 of my ARs and LaRue MBTs in 2 of them. I can't tell the difference. They are both excellent.
Geissele has a 25% off sale going. Primary Arms has 30% off sale. Geissele will give you a swag pack whereas Primary won't. So if you care about a hat and sticker then buy from Geissele. Geissele claims the G2S has the same feel as the SSA. Those will be on sale Monday for $115. EDIT: If you think you may want 3 triggers buy them on sale. Install one and try it. If you like it you save some money. If you don't like it you can sell them and pocket $25-50 a trigger if you wait until after the holidays. |

I agree with ordering them all now while they're on sale and dumping them on the EE in a month or two if you decide you don't like them.
Personally I would get the G2S for $115 delivered on Monday. Great trigger for the money, same feel as the SSA. |

Another vote for the SSA. Or if you just a little lighter a SSA-E. Enjoy.

HD and duty use, SSA. It's what Geissele recommends. I have one and think it's a great trigger, definitely worth the money.

Wilson Combat TTU. It's a single stage which I prefer and is rated for duty and competition at 4 lbs. pull. I have one in a 7.62 and another on the way for 5.56 thanks to Black Friday pricing.

Won one last week in the contest. Looking forward to trying it out. Reviews I've seen over the last year have been very positive. |

A 125 MBT is impossible to beat.
Not sure why the above poster said he could detect creep. Both of mine feel 95% as crisp as my tuned DMR triggers. |
|
Seeing how this is a tech forum, it would be nice if you guys could describe WHY OP should pick one trigger over another. Simply giving him your favorite brand isn't very helpful.

You can't go wrong with Geissele. I picked up a Geissele S3G for one of my builds. In the past I've picked up some RRA two stage varmint triggers when they had a big sale on them ($60ish vs $120) for some of my cheaper builds. They're nicer then a stock trigger, enough so that you can figure out which lower has them installed over the stock trigger group. But I feel Geissele is far above RRA so you shouldn't have any regrets if you go with them, especially with the crazy low price they have them going for right now.
BTW Geissele = smooth pull, crisper break. |

View Quote I ordered one on the Taste of Texas sale at that price. The website says my order is still on back order If you don't mind waiting for Larue to catch up on orders, I've heard nothing but good things about the MBT. |

I'd say try the G2S first and see if you like the Geissele trigger (same feel and pull as the SSA) On sale for $115
I have both the SSA and the G2S and they are both great triggers for the price. |

View Quote This is my vote but make sure you jump on the sale right away if you want that $115 price. I'm sure they will sell out quickly. If you get the G2S at the sale price, you can easily sell it for a tad more than you paid if you don't like it. I'm going to get a couple of the G2Ss to compare to my SSA. They supposedly have the same feel but the G2S is cheaper (other slight differences as well). I like my Geissele triggers but I also like my $140 CMCs, $130 Velocity, $60 ACT and even my $35 PSA enhanced. They all serve a different purpose. In my opinion, I think the SSAE is too light for a duty/ home def type rifle. I like my 4lb triggers or even the 6-6.5lb ACT/ PSA enhanced triggers, all single stage. The SSAE is great for my rifle that only sees bench duty. I got in on the $125 MBT deal and bought 2 but it's not looking like I will get them any time soon to try out. |

SSA
Friend has an SD-E. I don't like flat bow, and this one is too light for your purposes. |

Thanks for all the replies.
Im used to just running standard mil-spec triggers. I have thousands of rounds through M4's in training and carrying one as a contractor for 2 years in Iraq Never had any issues with them but you guys are always saying how nice these Geissele's are thought I would try one Looks like the only one left id the SSA: http://www.primaryarms.com/gat-ssa/p/gat-ssa/ The GS2 is at a great deal which why is out of stock, sucks I was ready to buy two at that price So what exactly is the difference between the GS2 and the SSA? The description on Geissele website states that the GS2 has a different way of holding the hammer pin in place and there is no laser marks and only spot checked for MP What does that mean to me as the end user as far as reliability, durability? Again thanks for the great replies, this is why I buy a member ship here |

The G2S goes on sale at the Geissele website Monday morning. It will show out of stock until then on the Geissele website.

The GS2 for $115.50 from PA is the best deal you'll ever find in triggers.
I bought one for a friend and another for me just to have at that price. If you can't get one at that great price, the SSA for $155 is recommended. I'll add it to my collection that includes several SSAs (5 or more) one GS2 Timney 3 lb SS (great for shooting from bench or prone) POF 4.5 lb SS un-badged BRO SS (2) Ruger 2 stage (2) The Geissele SSA/GS2 is my favorite out of all I've tried.

Like I mentioned, I have both and could not tell the difference. |

Can't hardly wait to get the 3 MBT's Nutro and I ordered. |
