I've got my loads dialed in, and my gun shooting good. This is the difference in dropping the hammer on top of my heart beat instead of in the flat. I'm thinking a better trigger instead of my polished mil spec would help pull in that flyer. 4 shots in the same hole, 5th one sitting out there mocking me.


So do I want an SSA-E, or G2S? Cheapest place to buy? It looked like Geisele is having a sale.

Why not? I'm considering buying a CMC soon, and what's the difference in quality between CMC and a Geissele?

SSA-E is the way to go. I have two and a SD-E. They're my favorite triggers.

Everything. The cmc trigger is cut out of a flat piece of steel and then thrown in the bag. This makes for sharp and uncomfortable edges. And Bill Geissele does more for this site than most of the gun industry combined. He deserves the business. His triggers are very well proven.

Why  not suggest SD-E compared to SSA-E?  (I have both).

I prefer the flat face of the SD-E, but from the OP, I was assuming he was only interested in a trigger with the standard curved face.

I've had multiple examples of both.

The CMC trigger is good... the Geissele is much better.  Better fit and finish, better reset, and more reliable ignition.  The Geissele is one of those things that costs a lot and is worth every penny.

Can everyone who has suggested the Geissele post a full disclosure if they have ever won one of them or been given one for free?

I own 3 Geisseles, paid for them all myself, and i think you should give the Larue MBT a try.

Geissele's sale starts tomorrow so you better make up  your mind fast! Im going with an ssa but if there wasn't the discount i was going to go with the g2, cause I doubt i would be able to tell the difference.

Larue MBT as for <$200 it is a great trigger (I got mine on sale but I still think it is worth the current price).

The wide trigger shoe is awesome.  Granted I am not a trigger expert but in comparing it to my new Accuracy International AE MKIII trigger I feel it more than holds its own.

Also.... Check out the Hiperfire triggers.  I've moved from the G to Hiperfire in the 3-Gun rifles and have been extremely impressed.

Make that disclaimer if you have a Larue MBT as well. He just gave away a bunch. I haven't shot a Larue so I can't say whether or not I would recommend one, but it sounds like they are nice. I have shot multiple Geissele's, and have an SSA-E. I know I like them and can recommend them with confidence. Why would anyone recommend a trigger they haven't tried?

Bought an SSA-E with my own money years ago.

Won another SSA-E

Bought a Hi-Speed

Got a couple of more SSA-Es at Cola Warrior




It may be possible to improve on Geiselle's product, but I don't know how.

I'd like to shoot one. The weight is more comparable to an SSA, is the travel and reset similar?

I have a CMC in one of my SPR-types, and I like it a lot.

I have shot with Geisseles, and they are also very nice.

For me, it was a price thing. Got a CMC on sale for around $115. It's a range toy.

I really like the wide face of the Larue MBT-2S.  With the drop to $199 it's a great option.  Hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll have it at the range with my SD-C and S2S to spend some time comparing them while I'm actually putting rounds down range.

I only recommend products I have first hand experience with that work well.  I have one POF trigger, three Timneys, and a bunch of Geisseles ranging from G2S to SSA to SSA-E.  I have exactly one standard "mil-spec" trigger group that came in my Colt 6920.  Everything else is expensive aftermarket.  I don't even buy LPKs anymore; I just source the exact small parts I want so I don't end up with stuff I won't use.  

I bought all of my triggers.  No one has given me one for free.  The POF was the one that sold me on the idea of spending money on good triggers.  It's a Timney style, so I ended up buying Timneys in the beginning until I got to play with a Geissele.  I was a convert as soon as I got my hands on one.  I prefer a 2-stage trigger and something that is user serviceable if necessary.  Geissele gives me that where Timney doesn't.  I have yet to handle anything that gives me something better than my Geisseles do.  The Geisseles offer me consistently reliable and crisp performance.  I'm sure I could probably be convinced to purchase something else, but there would have to be a reason to depart from what I know works.  I won't get rid of the POF or Timney triggers until they break, but I won't be buying anymore.

I bought a Giessele SSA and love it.  Super smooth and clean release.   For precision work it's plenty light for anything short of setting national records (never been there so don't know).

I've never tried one but would not be afraid of getting a LaRue MBT at all based on LaRue's rep.

Can't go wrong.

SSA-E is an excellent trigger.  I can recommend.


The single stage CMC is a different animal altogether.  I like it as well, but I've got them on a couple range blasters.  Had them for years, never a problem.

I appreciate the offer, but I'd be reluctant to borrow someone's gear via mail. I would like the opportunity to shoot one in person though, I'm sure I'll eventually find someone shooting one at a local range.

Geissele would be my choice since I have 6 guns that have them. They are the only "aftermarket" trigger that the .mil uses as far as I know.


I'm sure the LaRue trigger is a great trigger also but I have never shot one. I would have bought one when they were on sale but I missed them.
