Are you looking for a single-stage or two-stage trigger?

Can't go wrong with an SSA. if you prefer a flat trigger, the SD-C is a good choice.

I like my SSA-E a lot. It is a little on the light side. Is this for Home Defense or Target?
You might need to try different hammer springs if you want it over 4 pounds pull (HD) |

why spend double for a trigger that is only marginally better, if that, than the larue mbt-2s?

SSA-E is a great trigger as well. I use it in all my precision builds. But for all-around use SSA is a better choice IMO
ETA: Larue MBT is also similar and cheaper. |

I have multiple SSA-E triggers and they are great.
Unless it’s a work/duty rifle that has some type of weight requirement I’d recommend it all day. |

I was never too worried about AR triggers because most of my guns are basically factory semi versions of military rifles (HK, AK etc.) until I bought a rifle with a CMC flat face. Both the SSA and the SD-C are better than the CMC and worth it if trigger feel matters to you. |

I have several different 1 and 2 stage triggers from various makers.
The SSA is a solid trigger, but the cost is high for what it is. I have a couple of these as well and never had an issue with them. I'd recommend the G2S and see if it fills the need you have. I have a couple of those and it's a great trigger. If you want a lighter pull you can swap springs on it (I use JP hammer/trigger springs). The Schmid 2-Stage Nickel Boron Plated Triggers are also a good choice for the price. Botach has it for $80 but goes on sale often. I'm not a huger fan of botach, but I have ordered a couple of these and they shipped quick. As mentioned the LaRue MBT is also a solid trigger for the cash. I have a couple of those and have never had an issue. |

i have 3 SSA-Es...they're amazing. Not too light for a do-it-all trigger. If you pull the trigger, the gun's going to cycle, 2lbs of pull isn't going to stop that.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ssa-e feels different. If you like it, it's basically the cost of a few loaded mags difference from the mbt2s. I have both, and they're both good. fair enough. I haven't the will to cough up the money to drop on a geissele trigger, i'd rather have the ammo. not to mention for the price of one trigger I was able to drop a larue in all my ars, save one. |

On the holiday weekend Primary Arms usually has the $240 Geissele triggers for $170-$175.
Brownells has their special cheaper version that is usually $216 for $165. The Brownells specials have different pin retainers that are ore difficult to install. The SSA is gold standard two stage. There is the more expensive SSA X, with less curve and a nickel coated disconnector. This comes standard in their rifles and pistols. The SSA-E and SSA-E-X have even lighter, touchier triggers, but the standard ones are usually preferred and are plenty light. The X models are normally $325. I have an SSA X in a Geissele pistol, I have a single stage S3G and a single stage Brownells Rapidfire, which is the S3G with cheaper pin retainers. The two-stage Brownells is the SSA with the difficult pin retainers. The regular Geissele ones may have higher quality control than the Brownells versions. The single stage is fun for emptying magazine, but the two stage nice for tight groups when target shooting. |

I only have experience with the SD-C (flat faced SSA), but I love it. I did a fair amount of reading before pulling the trigger (literally), and I do not regret my choice one bit. It and the SSA appear to be the best one size fits all 2 stage triggers that they make.

Any discernible difference between the SSA-E and the SSA-E X w/lightning bow?
I need a trigger for a lower Im building and saw this and am wondering if the $100 upcharge is worth it for a slightly flatter trigger shoe and polished disconnector? |

I was prepared to swap out the x trigger that came in my superduty with one of the normal curved SSA/SSAE triggers I have sitting in the closet. But I shot it first and think it is even better than any of my other G triggers. Tried an MBT once, it worked perfectly fine but I hated the width compared to every other AR trigger I’ve shot. |

As far as AR trigger’s go, I only have experience with single stage milapec, Geissele SSA two stage, and LMT two stage, so I can’t say anything against or for any other trigger’s. Realistically, it’s all personal preference.
Honestly, Colt, FN milspec never bothered me any, in the military or civilian version’s. That said, I have four Geissele SSA, one LMT and I like them. I would say I like the SSA the best, I just like the way it feel’s and break’s. There’s sales several times a year,so you can pick one up for under $200.00 no problem. I picked up two direct from Geissele for Black Friday and I think they were around $160.00 each. As other’s have said, there’s other vendor’s that have good sales throughout the year as well. |

If I had a use for a ssa-e I'd drop the money to try it out, but I just don't. I think my MBT beats out my SSA and I have no other rifles begging for a 2 stage. The two are fairly close, but the MBT is crisper. I'm not a fan of the SSA break. It's not noticeably heavier (although probably a bit). It's just a spongier break. Less crisp. If I were to do it over I'd absolutely get the E over the regular SSA. This isn't on a DMR type rifle. It's a 16" LPVO gun. Don't get me wrong, the ssa is good, but for the money get an mbt for much cheaper or an ssa-e. The "carrot" break of the SSA, while intended isn't anything great.
