| Hello all. I am curious about something that only owners of this particular type of trigger can attest to. I am in the market for a Geissele trigger and I do believe that I like the sd-c sd-e ones. Now the question is aside from the perceived weight seeming lighter because of a flat bow, did it take some time getting accustomed to flat bow? I have always shot curved triggers on everything from Bb guns to my own firearms and I am a little worried that a flat bow may feel extremely weird. How did you guys feel about your first flat bow trigger? |

How did you guys feel about your first flat bow trigger? I dry fired one on another guys rifle at a class i was at and thought it felt good so I tried a SD-C. after shooting it for a while I couldn't get used to the feel of the flat trigger. I ended up swapping it for a SSA. It's something your going to have to try for yourself. |
| I like the SSA-E. Have it in my AR's. I have shot several flat triggers including G's. The flat trigger is a personal thing like 3seven4 said. In a run and gun self defense scenario, I don't think there is much difference. Again personal preference. One thing about triggers, get someone that has done it a thousand times or a gunsmith. High end triggers can be tricky to install and adjust. |

There is no adjustment possible with a Geissele trigger, because none is needed, and a man would have to be a complete idiot to alter the geometry of one. |

flat bow on a 1911 trigger, yes. flat bow on a pivoting AR trigger, no. YMMV Concur entirely. With a pivoting trigger, the mechanical advantage (and thus perceived pull weight) varies depending on how far up or down the trigger your finger is placed. This, it would seem to me, would make trigger control more difficult. Full disclosure: I've always stuck with bowed triggers in ARs for just this reason. Regarding installing an SSA, it isn't a job for a dunce; you'll want to run a full function check after you're done, and make sure the springs are indeed resting in their retaining grooves. But putting one in sure as hell isn't rocket surgery, and no adjustment is required. Moon |

It seems that the Hi-Speed in my Service Rifle may have an adjustment or two... |
| I see. Well I guess for my home defense/paper shredder application I may narrow it down between the ssa-e or sd-e I really need to get one in hand and feel the difference. All I currently have is a spikes battle trigger and my novice finger thinks it feels pretty good so I bet any of the enhanced triggers would feel pretty good . |
