I'm in the early stages in building my first AR pistol. 7.5" Accurate Armory barrel w/ 10" Samson Evolution rail and Noveske Pig. I have a lower already built but with standard LPK. What triggers are you guys using in your builds?

I have milspec, Jard, and Geissele FCGs. I prefer the Jard and Geissele...

I have a SSA in a 14.5 build that I have. I have heard good things about the ALG triggers.

What triggers are you guys using in your builds? View Quote I put in the ALG QMS AR-15 Trigger Set - for $45 it's an incredible deal IMO. NOT a drop-in module, and it's NOT a target trigger - mine measures 6.5-7lbs, but it's staggeringly smooth and crisp. My buddy's stock LPK trigger measures lower weight (5.5-6) but we both swore up and down that mine was lighter until we measured them. So the feel is great, the weight is to my mind nearly perfect for a pistol. You might also check out the POF drop-in module - JoeBob's and PrimaryArms both had them recently for $170 - which includes a set of KNS anti-rotation pins ($30 separately). That's supposed to be more like a 4-4.5lb trigger if you're after more of a target trigger. HTH, Richard |

I like the ACT'S myself...

Accuracy Speaks (3.5lbs), Geissele SSA (4.5lbs), and PSA mil spec with lightened springs and hammer (4.0lbs).
The PSA took some work to make a "speed hammer" out of the standard item, but it ended up damn good a $35 trigger. Wouldn't use such a thing on anything serious, though. |

I've become partial to the ALG combat trigger. VERY good trigger for the price.

Lot's of choices out there I know. I haven't decided as of yet. Not really looking for a target trigger. I might stay with the SSA or the ALG ACT. Thanks for all the replies. Big difference in the prices too.

I've got a RR 2 stage, Geissele S2S, SD3G, SSA-E, JARD adjustable and a bunch of stock triggers. I really want to try an AR-Gold. They have .03 reset so they should be a lot of fun.
The real question is what do you want your trigger to feel like? |

ALG ACT with supplied springs in my non-precision builds, ALG ACT with JP red springs for a 4# trigger for my wanna be SAPR. I find the trigger very smooth on each of them and the SAPR will shoot 3/4 MOA for me with reloads (non-free floated mind you). Would a $200 trigger help me personally? Maybe, maybe not, but $200 is 3 ACT triggers which helps 3 systems versus having one system that probably would end up shooting better than I can so what's the point.
If I had the money though... for a 3 gun set up I wouldn't mind a CMC or Timney trigger. But for less specialized needs I'd rather have something in everything I can have spare parts for or mix and match parts if needed to keep something running. |

CMC drop in 3.5lb. Like butter. View Quote How was the fit? I've only seen them in pictures, but the sideplates look like sheet metal where Timney, Wilson, POF look a lot more substantial. That gave me pause quite honestly. With that said, I probably won't do another Timney - whether the module or my receiver, I had a helluva time "dropping" it in Then the whole double set screw bit was just more than I cared for. </FirstWorldProblems> |

Fwiw, my CMC 3.5lb flat blade fit absolutely perfect. Dropped right in with zero lateral movement. Took about 3 minutes total to do the whole thing. And 2 of that was f'n with the little clips. Zero takeup or creep. Light and clean break. I couldn't be happier. Mine was $145 on sale.

In an Aero Precision lower. We're seriously talking about less than 2 minutes to "drop in" and set the pins. I only use KNS pins as well.. Also made that super simple. The entire drop in unit is solid... Side plates too. Trigger pull is incredibly smooth. I've never tried a Timney and quite frankly have no desire to after running with the CMC. YES they're $160... However buy once cry once right? |

I have 5 Wilson TTU triggers and love them. I also have 1 ALG defense that I bought for my home defense rifle that I keep "bedside".
Its great trigger as well and its better suited for home defense that the "crispy" Wilson TTU's. Accuracy and crispness don't really apply to a self defense situation. |

The only thing I can think of now is the buffer isn't capable of handling the fire rate I am laying down. Currently I am putting my lower together for my pistol. I really want to run another CMC in it just scared history will repeat itself. |

I am running AR-Gold and Geissele SD3G triggers. There is a thread in GD asking Geissele to build a new trigger with an SSA type action and flip your selector to get a 3G type super fast reset action...
The thread: NSFW, maybe... THREAD HERE |

I have a few update triggers running, but generally try to avoid them if possible since they can quickly bring performance down if misused and are easily overlooked when diagnosing issues.
