| I just bought my first AR-15 (colt 6540 9mm). The trigger was horrible - gritty with a lot of creep. So before doing my research fully I tried a 15 min. trigger job. I lightly sanded the trigger and hammer with 400 grit paper them polished with flitz. It did not help. After doing more research I am worried I may have gone thru the case hardening. So instead of waiting for it to fail I want to replace the trigger. But I can not find anyone that carries colt replacement triggers. To add insult to injury the more I read the more I think the "stock" trigger would be best for me despite its gritty feel. Anyone know where I can purchase a replacement stock colt 9mm trigger? |
| I would personally agree on the single stage recommendation, but that does not preclude using a Geissele |

I have been shooting AR's for 10 years, and always used standard OEM triggers in my rifles until about a month ago, I ordered a Geissele SSA from Rainier Arms for $170
After installing it on my carbine and pulling the trigger the first time I was like  ... ...
Needless to say, I will no longer be using OEM triggers anymore Get a SSA, you will be VERY happy with it |
| There was a rellay good thread reviewing a lot of triggers, prbably archived now, and there is a shorter one wit5hout pictures and reviews here. I have to say I am really happy with my Alexander Arms Tactical Tirgger as well. It took a bit of tweaking, and do not skip the Loctitie, but once I got it set up it has been fantastic and 100% reliable for a couple of thousand rounds plus. |

Before you purchase anything...I believe the 9mm hammer & trigger are not your standard 5.56/.223 trigger & hammer group. You need to conduct further research as, I'm 99% sure the 9mm trigger group is unique to the that caliber/platform. my $0.02 Sakic #19 
p.s. If the Geissele works...I agree with the consensus above - go with Geissele no question. Perhaps, Bill (sagmill) will come across this thread and chime in? |
