Let me answer this thread in one post.
If you want cheap, get a LaRue MBT-2S. It's 90% as good as a Geissele and <50% the cost. If you want the best, get a Geissele. SD-E, SSA-E, and HSNM are all excellent choices. I have experience with all the triggers above, and I think all of them are terrific upgrades to the mil spec trigger. The above assumes you want a 2 stage trigger, which I would say is the most popular at least in my circles. If you want single stage, the above still holds true, it's just a Larue MBT-1S and a Geissele SSP being compared instead. |

Want to try the SSP ETA: I like my TriggerTech too. |

FPNI. +1 Geissele if cost is not an issue

I really wanted the Geissele SD-C for my pistol build but after hearing so many good things about the LaRue MBT-2S, I ordered one, and for over $100 less than the Geissele.
If you go with Larue, get your order in as soon as possible. It took a month to get my straight bow trigger. |

If you really have a MIL-Spec trigger, you might get a more informative response in the M16 section.

There are a lot of Geissele lovers here. They're not bad IMO, but they're overrated. They've been around longer than pretty much everyone else in the trigger game, but they have yet to provide something the others can't provide. They're pretty much reliable as all hell though.
I recommend a Larue MBT 2s (two stage) because you don't need to spend TriggerTech money and you have a milspec with little to no experience with other products. PSA or Midwest also make drop-in triggers that are about the same price as the Larue and are single stage if that's what you prefer. Big different between single stage vs two stage is that 1s usually has some to little pretravel/creep and then there's a break. 2s usually has a pre-travel that is intentional and usually greater than the creep of a 1s. Once the 1st stage length has been pulled and you hit a "wall" which is called the second stage. The second stage is a little more pull weight with a very clean break (usually). 2s are preferred for precision shooters because they are more predictable because of the 1st stage wall/2nd stage break while 1s is usually duty/competition. Milspec is 1s. Hopefully this helps. |

I have have Milspec, I have Gressele , I have the upgraded Milspec.
I would say if you want something better than Milspec, Then go with a ALG. They make one better than milspec and one up from that that is chrome plated. I like the plated one, gives a cleaner trigger pull than Milspec. Not alot of money. On two of my guns that I wanted more accuracy out of ,I went with the cheapest gressele. I think they were the SSA. Nice triggers, two stage, A bit more money. |

ALG ACT if you want a better single stage.

If you want a drop-in, cassette style then the CMC is a very nice unit with options as far as pull weight, 1 or 2 stage, straight or curved triggers. Price is midway between the Larue and higher-end G triggers. They're currently on sale at PA and Joe Bob's. The Hiperfire EDT triggers are nice too. |

Much appreciated, guys!
Will look more into the LaRue trigger. Any thoughts on the triggers from CMC? Their AR Duty Patrol Single Stage unit looks like something I might be interested in. Price doesn't seem too bad either. |

HiperFire EDT triggers are great. I've got all 3. I like the Designated Marksman best of the 3 with Heavy Gunner a close 2nd.

Quote HistoryQuoted: That's a pretty bold claim with no metric to back it up... I'd agree I personally don't see how any trigger could be better than the HSNM, but then again I've not tried every trigger on the market so I try to avoid specific superlatives. |

"Cassette" style drop ins like the CMC, those are made for fumble fingered idiots like me who can KIND OF figure out how things go together inside the box...? Looking at a PSA MOE lower to drop this in, and I see the MidwayUSA listing shows it coming with anti walk pins, too.

Looking at a PSA MOE lower to drop this in, and I see the MidwayUSA listing shows it coming with anti walk pins, too. One of the best 3 gun triggers I have shot is the Lantec/CMC trigger. Lantec had CMC tune the single action trigger for 3 gun. And the CMC 3.5 single stage is not a bad trigger for 3 gun. My main 3 gun rifle has had a Giselle 3 gun trigger in for over 8 years. |

Geissele all the way, The Larue, while not a bad trigger is not 90% of a G trigger. Honestly the Scmhidt Tool 2 stage is a better buy and a better trigger than the Larue and probably 70% as good as a G trigger.

No metric...but after shooting quite a few high-dollar triggers over the years, all my ARs have Wilson TTU triggers in them.

Update: So I ended up going with the ALG Defense Advanced Combat Trigger. Some of the other options were a bit out of my price range. My son recently went with the ACT trigger in his AR, and I have to say, I like it! I think it'll work for what I'm looking for.
Thanks again to all those who responded! |
