I like the RRA 2 stage triggers. Good quality at a good price. There's lots of info and tutorials on the web that can be found to help. With triggers it comes down to what you will use it for and the biggie ... personal preference (weight of pull, looks, name brand, etc). See if a local shop or friend will let you try the feel of different triggers they have.

Why 2-stage? What is the benefit or difference?

Ok I've been watching some videos on triggers and watch a good video from Bill Geissele explaining all his triggers. I think I want to go with a Geissele SD-E, would this be a good choice for me and my gun?

If you don't mind waiting, LaRue said they'll be running another sale on their MBT trigger in the next few months. The most recent one's were $125, regular $200.
I dunno about putting the SD-E on a pistol. It's a really light trigger. I'd recommend taking a look at the SSA or G2S if you want to stick with Geissele (which is a highly reputed brand). I have a SSA, and am very happy with it. You can also always email Giessele and see what they recommend |

I've seen the Rise triggers around the web for about $100 each. That seems to be a decent price for a 3.5lb trigger. |

It's easier to touch one off before you intend to with the really light spring and short reset. For me, the 4.5lb is perfect for a rifle with non magnified optic. The lighter triggers are more intended for precision and competition shooting. I guess if you do go with the SD-E and decide it's too light for the pistol, it could be a good excuse to build another gun.

Not the kind of business I want to support. Without turning this into an ECON 101 discussion, I'd guess Geisesele COULD do the same thing if they wanted to when delivering a new product. LaRue wanted to get the word out on the triggers, so they're probably running them either close to materials + labor cost or below. That means that for these triggers, LaRue made the decision not to apply the overheads that would normally get added to pay for buildings, computers, warehouses, etc. Gets the triggers in the hands of folks who are willing to give a new component a shot at $125 but not at $200. It's a marketing strategy but in no way dishonest or harming the customer. What can happen is that this backfires - and the customer base gets used to a $200 trigger selling for $125. The possibility then is that LaRue can't continue to build these triggers at this price. Right now he's probably subsidizing the triggers to an extent with the mounts and other items selling at full markup. Sorry for the threadjack. I've got a CMC trigger which is very nice and crisp. I have one of the LaRues on order, and I'm planning on buying a Geissele SD-3G for a rifle I'm working on now. A good trigger makes a big difference. One word of caution though - there are folks who will work on your stock parts kit trigger and stone the parts. I'd stay away from that. I've done that on 2 rifles. The second one I ended up destroying the trigger group because it became highly unreliable. |

Larue is doing the sales as a loss leader at $125 with a long term plan on getting enough out there that when someone asks what trigger to get there are several people who like and recommend theirs. I know if they do the sale again I will buy 2. Would have last sale but I had too many other things to get with the holiday. I would love to see how it compars with my SSA-E and have 2 projects for this year. A Lightweight AR and a 300blk pistol |

I've seen the Rise triggers around the web for about $100 each. That seems to be a decent price for a 3.5lb trigger. As others have said earlier, Larue is pricing them probably at cost (or very close to it) to spread the word. Before I tried the Larue, I would have recommended a Geissele G2S or SSA, but I have since sold them after trying out an MBT-2s. Given the fact that Larue now includes an extra 6# spring with the trigger, it's a no-brainer for those that are looking for 4.5# or 6# two-stage. The Larue compares favorably to the SSA-E (at a whole lot less) if that means anything to you... |

It doesn't matter what he prices them at. It's what the market will support. So they are "fucking" the customer by cutting their bottom line? Makes sense.....to someone I guess. Let's take a look at what you get vs. other brands. A fully precision CnC'd trigger made from S7 steel backed by a well respected company within the industry, along with a shitload of "swag". For $125-$199 depending on their sales. Or.... A trigger cast just like a "mil-spec" one would be out of the same metal a milspec one would be. Naturally the geometry has been altered and much more attention is paid to the engagement surfaces. For $125-$250 depending on model and sales. Both are good to go and backed by professional class acts. One is just more time consuming to produce made out of more expensive material. If LaRue is "fucking" their customers, where's that leave the other guys? --End rant. OP, I would want a 4.5lb trigger like the SSA or G2S if it were me. Personal opinion. |

Selling them at $125 is a risk. If the customers know that Black Friday sales have it for $125, no one will buy for $200. The AR industry is a small market to play saturation games on. This is how car companies screwed themselves with zero percent intrest on loans. Now that the public has gotten used to it, they see it as a given that there will be no intrest. And I highly doubt the triggers are being sold at a loss. Smaller profit perhaps, but not at a loss.

I've got several, and I'm waiting on a few more. Larue has stated they are going to make a flat trigger variant at some point, and I'm looking forward to trying it. Geissele's are always pretty good triggers, if you want to go with a Geissele they make special versions for Brownells that sell for less money. The B-G2S-E is a version of the G2S that feels like an SSA-E instead of an SSA. The B-GRF is like a S3G/SD3G but using the G2S cost saving techniques. Personally I have a SD-C, and I wish it was a SD-E. I tend to like lighter triggers and have no problem running a 3.5lb trigger. If budget is your biggest concern, then the RRA is very budget friendly and they feel much better than stock. They were recently on sale for $62. My preferred version is the 2 stage Varmint 3.5lb trigger. Legal Transfers on the equipment exchange often times sells them for $79 delivered. |

Both the PSA Enhanced Polished Trigger Kit and the ALG ACT kit are very good for the money.
Neither are on the same plain with any of the $200+ triggers, but they serve the purpose well for me...a big improvement over the stock triggers found in common lower parts kits. |

Rise makes some good single stage triggers. If I wanted a single stage I would go this route. I have two of their BLUE triggers (debadged Black Rain triggers, made for Black Rain by Rise), they have an extremely short reset. Mine reset around .04" to .045", significantly shorter than an SD3G with a nominal reset of .06" (and my own SD3G actually resets at .077"). . Quote HistoryQuoted:

But when you make a careful shot, you can use that 2nd stage to make a precise break. There's also a lot of sear engagement for safety if the rifle is dropped. I like them. |
