Give it a try. You are already thinking about it and they are on sale.
Very similar to the SSA. Wider face so it will feel a bit different on your finger. |

Best value in triggers bar none.
Smooth, crisp, repeatable and an imperceptible 2nd stage. Half the price of anything half as good. |

Good trigger. Shape of the trigger bothers me a bit, reset is a bit meh. Reset is improved with the newer heavy spring they say, I haven't tried that.
Nothing I have used in the sub-$100 price range compares. |

I bought 2 of them a few months ago. They are much, much better than milspec triggers. They are not as good as the more expensive geisselle triggers though.

The pull feels very similar to a G SSA-E for 1/2 the price.
The MBT is also made from S7 tool steel (this is the original steel Busse Combat's Scrap Yard division used for their indestructible knives). My only complaints / concerns about the MBT (and I have MBTs in "several" guns) ... 1) The trigger shoe feels different than most other triggers and has slightly sharp edges; 2) The disconnector is pinned in place (completely different than a milspec where the trigger pin holds it in place). I don't know if this will be a problem on high round count guns. MBT hasn't been around long enough to find out. I sold all of my SSA-E triggers and bought MBTs. |

At this point .... I only want:
Milspec Triggers (preferably with a nickel finish ... like BCM's PNT ... or the ALG ACT ... but a quality phosphated FCG from Colt is fine too) and MBTs. I've used about everything available, and these two options are best for my needs / uses / mission-driven specifications. If anyone is looking for a Geissele SD-3G or CMC 2-Stage (2# / 2#) I can supply them

Nice triggers, once you adjust to the width of the shoe.
Milspec was all I knew before buying 2 MBTs. Now I want a few more. |

I'm starting to like it more than my SSA-E.
The trigger shape has grown on me, and I kinda like it. What others have said is the reset is a little less than desired. |

And the cleaner brake makes it feel just as light, if not lighter. Let's put it this way. I own two SSA-E's...then the MBT came out. I now have 10 MBT's. |

Would any of you recommend it for a home defense build or is it more of a precision trigger?

I much prefer the reset with the heavy spring installed. They are fantastic triggers at any price and are a steal at $87. I have three now and will be ordering a couple more while they are on sale to keep on hand...

I have two of them, and really like the way they break, and how they reset. I also have rifles with JP match triggers, Rock Creek, and one 2.5 pound Jard trigger. The MBT-2 triggers are my favorites. With the exception of the Jard trigger, all of the triggers have pull weights of 3.25-3.75 pounds.
Although my trigger pull weight scale says there isn't too much difference between them, there is a very large difference in how the triggers break, and how they reset. On AR15 and AR10 still rifles, I strongly favor two stage triggers. For precision rifles, I like a single stage about 2 pounds. If a precision rifle has a pull weight less than 2 pounds, I will relegate it to bench use only as there is too much potential (for me in any case) for an unintentional discharge in practical rifle or PRS type matches with a pull weight less than 2 pounds. The MBT-2 is very predictable, easy to use, and dependable. It isn't finicky and it doesn't make me worry about trigger problems... I have no financial connection with Larue, nor do I have any family connections with the company. I don't even like that they won't post prices in their catalog, but I really do like their MBT-2 trigger. |

I have all three.
I don’t have enough rounds with the MBT to comment on its service life. Like others I would say it falls between a SSA and a SSA-E. |

These threads are pretty common these days. Bottom line, for $87 the MBT is the best option on the market. I own CMC single stage, Geissele SSA and SSA-E, Larue MBT, and KAC 2 stage triggers. Love them all. Honestly for quick but precise when it needs to be, I like my KAC the best. But they are too expensive IMO.
I do think the SSA-E has a tad crisper feel than MBT but the MBT is more predictable than SSA, IMO. Geissele SSA was gold standard till the MBT came along. Stock up now before XMas, no they are not in stock, but well worth the 2-4 week delivery. |

Imo for the price, they are the best 2 stage for that price range. That being said they ain't the best 2 stage out there. But for the $100 range triggers, RRA, timoney, any other drop in, the MBT2 is really good.
