We all have read the different reviews of what triggers work best in our 15-22's especially us using them in conjunction with a Slidefire stock but these latest triggers from Hiperfire look like they may be the next "big thing" for us using the slidefire...? Review the videos and post your thoughts.
After several triggers for my 15-22 to find the perfect fit for my slidefire on my 15-22, like most, I have: had a stock AR trigger modified by Bill Springfield (still in test), purchased a Timney 3lb (not tested yet) and just recently went ahead and picked up a CMC 3lb trigger too (not tested yet). I have other AR rifles so these "test triggers" will go off to other guns after they pass/fail in my 15-22 slidfire combo, only problem is lately I have more test triggers than I have test time with the crazy weather lately.:rolleyes:
So I guess I am wondering who will pick up one of the three variants from Hiperfire and test it w/a Slidefire on their 15-22? ;)
HIPERTOUCH AR15 Match Trigger Drop In

Installing the 24 - YouTube
 
The Hipertouch 24 reduces the trigger pull weight by reducing the pressure on the sear. On stock triggers this pressure helps keep the trigger from accidentally moving when say the firearm is dropped. By removing this sear pressure you may have lost the safety of the design. If someone is going to test this trigger can you do a bump test to see if the trigger stays forward with the safety off from a simulated drop.
 
I have no plans on testing any triggers in my 15-22 it's all mill-spec parts and has had
the 15 min trigger work done.

But, I am anxiously awaiting my TacCon 3MR trigger for my AR :)

When you get the 3MR you should attempt to install it in the 15-22 just to see if it fits...better yet to see if it operates. The replacement safety seems to be the main issue for fitment. People have said they operate with 22 conversions for standard ARs. Would be nice to see someone actually try it with the 15-22 though.

What "replacement safety"? What am I missing? It appears to use the stock/original safety as does my Geissele trigger.

The TacCon 3MR has a special safety that can rotate to the third position to activate the 3rd mode reset.
 
The TacCon 3MR comes with a special safety selector because it has three positions.

Fire (Semi) Safe and 3rd Mode (where Full Auto would be). In Third Mode it forces
trigger reset for fast trigger manipulation.

Telero,

Not sure that it will work at all. Aside from the safety selector (which likely won't work)
it also relies on the AR bolt to reset the trigger, not sure if the 15-22 bolt will cycle
the mechanism.

I will certainly try to install it just to let everyone know if it works or not!

Not sure many here will drop $500 on a trigger though :)
 
People have been having good luck with it on AR 22 conversions, so I'm hoping it would work on the 15-22. If it's just a matter of the 22 having enough oomph to activate it, I would think that it would based on the conversion kits doing it.

The thing about the trigger is that it's supposed to be a pretty decent trigger regardless of the 3MR mode. Costs more than some other decent triggers alone for sure...but if you were looking for a new trigger and a slidefire (whether or not you were looking for a new trigger because the slidefire tends to work much better with a replacement trigger), this could be a decent alternative that runs about the same price as a trigger/slidefire combo. If it works as well as and is as much fun as a slidefire, it would also have the added benefit of not requiring that ridiculous stock and it would be ambidextrous.
 
I wanted an "Elegant Solution" and it will deliver. The Slide fire is cool and all, but the
3MR will allow you to stay on target and supposedly with practice, 600/700RPM isn't
out of the question. And like you said, in non 3rd mode it's a match grade, glass break
4.5lb trigger that's all CNC machined in the US.

Any word on this? My buddy just did a 308 build with this trigger. I'm thinking of replacing my Timney in my 15-22 with this one since I have issues with light primer strikes. Can anybody share any experience?

I have the Hiperfire 24 in both our AR15s set at 4lbs. It's smooth and easy to control. I've seen videos on YouTube of people rapid firing with it and it's very fast. I'm looking into building an AR10 and this is the trigger that I will use in that. I'm very surprised that thus trigger has caught on more than it has.

Sorry for the late update! I actually canceled my TacCon order
due to lack of communication and a few less than stellar reviews
that hit the net before I had it in hand. I took the money and
bought a billet lower for my AR 12 Gauge :D

Probably a sound plan, I don't think I've read one good review on the 3MR yet... But lot's of reviews and videos about the bad...
 
If the normal position was that of a top shelf trigger then that might be worth consideration. But the reviews I have seen indicate it's a good trigger but not among the best. So for that kind of money why compromise on the normal operation of the trigger for range toy ability? I mean, if it was as good as my Wilson Combat TTU and had a range toy selector I might buy one.

Sounds like what I've heard as well. In the 3rd mode, it's a decent trigger, somewhat similar to a Geissele. But at twice the cost, why not just buy a Geissele. What would make it an amazing trigger is if it was two-stage in normal fire, and single stage in 3rd position.

Back to the Hipertouch conversation...is the force required to reset the hammer any different than a standard trigger? I'd be interested in a trigger that would take less force to reset the hammer, but not lead to light strikes. There is some lower powered ammo out there that I'd like to get to work reliably in semi-auto, but with the standard trigger group it just doesn't have enough oomph to reset the trigger. It will extract the old round and load a new one, but the hammer is still resting on the bolt when cycling is complete.
