Looking at the CMC flat-face trigger against a Geissele flat-face, is the price difference worth it for the G? The CMC gets fantastic reviews everywhere and will save some cash, but if its really worth 50 more bucks I don't mind saving for the Geissele.

Note: Not a tier 1 operator, just train regularly and take 1-2 rifle training courses each year. Will be going in a MK18-ish clone.

Are you talking about the SD3G? if you plan on firing from the prone or from a rest, I would advise against the SD3G; it is prone to accidental bump firing. Not sure if the same is true for the CMC.

Hmm, first I have heard of this. And yes if it is run during a training course there is a good possibility of shooting while prone.

I can personally say it is true... at least with the 3.5 spring. Tried shooting off some rocks one day and dumped damn near half a mag.

op as long as you maintain proper position and good control of the rifle it wont bumpfire.

if you use poor technique, any light trigger could be a problem

Just my opinion, but I have five of the CMC 3.5 lb. triggers (although w/curved bows) and I think they are fine triggers for the application you are going to use them for.


There are many on here that believe a 3.5 lb. trigger is too light for combat-type use.

Considering that most sbr folks shoot short range run and gun at fairly large targets and most carbine courses focus on short range defense stuff, I don't see the point of a match grade trigger for such applications. Yes a lighter crisper pull is always going to make accurate hits easier but know plenty of guys that can shoot a stock trigger out to 500+ yards very well.

Go CMC

That SD-3G should only be run by very experienced shooters

I have the SD3G in my MK18, go for it.

Geiselle SD-C. Perfect for a home defense/training gun. Not too light, but super crisp. 4.5lb.  I have experience with lots of aftermarket triggers, and currently own a few ACT's, spikes battle trigger, Geissele SSA, SSA-E, and SD-C. if I could only own one it'd be the sd-c.

The SD-C is the one I was looking at. I guess I just need to see if I can find someone to let me shoot their CMC to see if I would be ok with a trigger that light, this isn't an HD gun so that isn't really a factor.
