I have a 9mm SBR that I use for steel challenges and plinking. Right now it has just a standard AR trigger but I want to upgrade. It also has a CMMG 9mm bolt carrier.
What is everyone using? |
| I also have a CMMG 9mm Bolt and I'm using a Mil Spec Daniel Defense trigger, works great, When the timer goes off and I start my run I don't notice if I have a trigger that's a half pound lighter. After my run, of the thousand things that go through my mind, Tigger pull comes in at about 997. In my Humble opinion you can spend $200 on a fancy A$$ trigger and not do any better than you would with a basic Mil Spec, again My Opinion and having spent big bucks on The Trigger of the Month and ended up with a plain Jane Trigger. My 9mm goes Bang every time. |

I don't shoot matches, but have changed my AR 9mm and 22lr SBRs to the POF 4.5 pound drop-in trigger. It provides excellent ignition and reset for our shooting. AIM sells it for $124.95 with free shipping.

| For a trouble free trigger, as in one that will not have problems resetting, many of us have the Hiperfire 24C. Single stage...about 2 1/2 pound. I also run a JP trigger in my first PPC and needed to tig weld .040 bump on the underneath portion of the bolt to make it 100% reliable. Sorry, but triggers are a big deal to me and many of my friends. A heavy trigger is just not going to cut it in competition, IMHO. |

Triggers are kind of a personal choice. If you stick with a trigger that has a std. profile hammer, you should have no, or at least fewer, issues. The further the hammer profile strays from std., the more likely you will encounter problems with it or it just won't work.
There are a lot of rather inexpensive tweaks (springs, reduce takeup, reduce overtravel) that can be made to a mil-spec trigger to improve it. Instead of spending $100-200 on a trigger, you may want to consider putting that money to better use elsewhere - maybe into a better quality parts, better optic, or a training class. No offense intended, just options. |

FYI.
The simplest, fastest, no muss no fuss Fire Control Group that works in 9mm ARs? Install the 3 below items. I can do it in under 5 minutes. (Note: The set screw will take out a lot of the pre-travel. Install set screw after installing FCG. Remove the grip. Put selector on safe. Install set screw to the point where the selector will only move with resistance. Put it all back together.) Depending on where one places the gauge on the level/trigger, pull weight should come in at just under 3.5# to just under 4.5#. I would also recommend switching from a slotted grip screw to an allen head. (1/4-28 X 3/4) Trigger/Hammer spring kit $10 PSA Enhanced Polished FCG $30 Set screw less than $1
