Ive been looking into triggers which will be my next purchase but whats the best.

I have seen many talk about the geissele triggers and have heard great stuff ar10 and ar15

Im ok with around the 200$ area for Quality.

I have searched on here and didn't come across a thread dedicated to the triggers just talk here and there.

Thanks for any input.

Geissele is the best AR trigger you can buy. I personally like the SSA-E model, and run them in all my AR's. Nice, clean break, 3.75 lb, 2 stage, but short first stage so you can run it fast if you want.

I have installed the Geissele SSA-E and love it, 2 stage and crisp break.
2.5lbs first stage and +1lb for second stage.
Super Semi-Automatic Enhanced (SSA-E) Trigger

I kinda like the idea of a single stage but i see tons of you all running the two stage.

whats your guys main use?

SSA-E all day long here. I will never use a single stage trigger again if I don't have to. I love the short take up and crisp break. You definitely know when she's gonna pop.

I know I'm the contrary opinion here, but I've been putting Timney triggers in my AR's because my preference is for a clean single stage unit. I run their 4 lb triggers, but it's available in 4.5 lb and 3.5 lb pulls. I think it's the best, but the argument between single and two stage triggers is a religious debate that no forum thread will settle. Bottom line - if you want a single stage trigger, I can whole-heartedly recommend the Timney. If you prefer a two-stage trigger, Geissele is highly recommended by our fellow shooters...

Hunting, carbine classes, defense, general use. The Geissele is unique in the 2-stage trigger market because of how short the first stage is. If you slow down, you can run it like a 2-stage, but the first stage is short enough that you can run it like a single stage by just pressing.

Very well put sir. Great info for the OP.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Ditto on the SSA-E, combine that with a good compensator and you'll stay on target all day long.

One of the single stage triggers from ALG Defense (Geissele) may suit your needs for much less money.

I went ahead and dove into the SSA-E picked it up new for 200.

Reading here and on snipers hide Tons of great feedback on this guy!

Jones, where did ou get the ssa-e for 200?

Primary Arms just listed the SSA-E for $179 with Coupon Code: SSAE2

Thanks ASH,

SSA-E on the way along with magpul STR and larue tactical APEG grip. "Change is a coming"

Thank god! Had been waiting for a deal on the SSA-E trigger. Placed the order and received tracking # about 2 hours later. Only note this as I have primarily purchased from PSA in the past so was not used to such prompt service/shipping..
anyway
IMO you would not be disappointed with a Geissele trigger

dang 180 now thats a deal. could have saved even more money. but still happy at 200. mine in on its way hope to have it tomorrow.

I got a SSA-E from Buds about a month ago for $200. Love it!

THIS ^

Our dept. just swapped out the triggers on the issued Olympic guns for these, and they are very nice for a single stage. They are coated NiB, and have a very smooth release.
I didn't know ALG was part of Geissele, but I can beleive it having pulled on one of these single stagers.

Anyone adjusted the SSA-E to a lower weight? 4 lbs is a lot for me.
I would like a 2 lb. trigger.

I'll be jumping on the ssae band wagon soon

Witch is the part number for the SSA-E ? Or what is the pin size?

Thanks Doc498

Small pin. A great trigger for sure.

Super Semi-Automatic Enhanced (SSA-E) Trigger

This is a non adjustable trigger. They make other models that are adjustable.

The Geissele SSA-E has a pull weight of about 3.5 lbs. There is 2.3 lbs. on the 1st stage and 1.2 lbs. on the 2nd stage.

Just ordered a SSA-E......stand by for results!

Just received my order from grabagun.com yesterday. Magpul PRS AR10 $175.64 and a SSA-E trigger for $189.91 delivered in 4 days for a total with shipping $382.35.
If thats not a deal, I dont know what it is.

Does anyone have any experience with the Hiperfire Hipertouch 24c trigger?

I just ordered my M&P 10 and it should be here by Friday. I am new to the forum and I am planning to do a few upgrades in the next 2 weeks. Thanks

$230.00 direct from the Trigger Master, including priority shipping and all this sh*** ... wow luv the hat

Not sure 'Timeny' can top that.

Primary Arms is having a Spring sale on triggers "15trigger" gets you 15% off. I picked up a Timney 668-s Competition 2 stage for 170.00 plus 3.85 shipping.

Ok.. maybe this has been beaten to death (maybe I searched incorrectly, found little) but... what did you have against the single stage. I have both a CMC single stage 3.5# and the SSA-E and to be honest, I don't see the point in the SSA-E take up. Just one more thing to do before engaging 'the trigger' at about 2.5-3# second stage. Once I've decided to shoot, I put my finger on the (single stage) trigger and with a gentle decision translated to my finger the trigger breaks cleanly and the gun goes off. What's the purpose of adding another action (take-up). This isn't a criticism because there are obviously many more skilled than I who prefer the two stage. If there's an advantage I honestly want to know because I paid for it and am clearly missing out.

I don't know what all the fuss is about for two stage triggers either. I guess they have their place somewhere but for my intended use which is hunting, I want a single stage, light, crisp break. I had my M&P 10 trigger done by Bill Springfield and it is fantastic. Bill has done five different rifles for me and they all have crisp, clean breaks between 3-3.5 pounds. Well, except for my Thompson Impact and it breaks at around two pounds. If Bill hadn't been able to do the trigger on my 10, I would have put in one of the Hiperfire triggers mentioned above. Simple drop in and no modifications to make it fit. From all the reviews I've read on this trigger, it looks like it will be giving Timney, Geissele, etc, some stiff competition.

The standard single stage trigger has a long sear engagement resulting in significant creep before the sear breaks. This long engagement is needed for added safety against doubling and unintentional discharges from sear bounce caused by rough handling and being banged around. The two stage G trigger retains this safety feature by using a reduced pull for most of the sear engagement, but just prior to the sear break, uses an extension on the semi-auto sear to engage the back of the hammer to add the pressure of the sear spring to the trigger pull.

The crisp single stage triggers lack the long sear engagement to prevent doubling and sear bounce. Instead, they use a half cock sear to catch the hammer when it falls without the trigger being pulled

HYPERTOUCH 24-3G is comparable on a AR to a JEWELL on a benchrest bolt-gun. If put on an MP-10 you have to lose the ambi-bolt release to clear the overhead booster springs. No big loss unless you are south-paw. The vacancy left by the [removed] ambi-release on the lower can be plugged with a little work and is unnoticeable.

HIPERTOUCH® 24 3G - 3Gun AR15/10 Fire-Control Drop-In

To each his own

Check out:http://smith-wessonforum.com/private...m&pmid=1339986

I have an ALG QMS in my M&P 10. It's well worth it.

HYPERTOUCH EDT for $89.00; Damn hard to beat for a re-engineered trigger assembly

HIPERTOUCH® 24 - AR15/10 Fire-Control Drop-In

And this model does not necessitate removal of the ambi-bolt release

YES; But I see you have an old post there so you have already found that the MP-10 has to have the ambi-bolt release removed to accommodate the booster spring set-up on that trigger. I found that the end results of this trigger is well worth the inconvenience. They now have a re-engineered EDT for $89.00 that does not require any modifications and it is reported to be leaps and bounds ahead of the [creepy] stock trigger.
Notice the pix of the left-hand bolt release plug later in this post.

Same here, all 11 of my 556/223 and 308 semi's have the Geissele SSA-E trigger installed. Just installed one in my brother in laws MP 10. It took a little longer than my semi's because of the ambi bolt release but no big thing. He now is a very happy camper.

Yup, another happy Geissele SSA-E customer here.

I spoke to Terry Bender at Hiperfire about this and he said this trigger (hipertouch243g) is not compatible with the M&P 10. The E1 model will be but is not out yet.

I rue most days

I just got my M&P10 and was wondering if any of these triggers are drop in 1 piece and do have to do anything besides take out the 2 pins and remove the trigger assembly, thank you for any info.

Timney 3lb single stage. Who needs a two stage? 2013gt its a little more involved i had to remove the grip, and ambi controls to install my timney but its not a big deal. Reinstalled them after trigger

Has anyone installed a Velocity 3 pound single stage trigger on a M&P10 without removing one of the mag releases?

I have an ALG QMS in mine and it's the bees knees.

I just installed a 3 pound drop in trigger from "Velocity.com" in my M&P 10 for $134. Just as nice as triggers that cost twice as much. They come in 3, 4 or 4.5 pound pull.

I just ordered a Velocity trigger from Tom tonight. I went with a single stage 4# since my other AR's have RRA National Match at ~4#.

I may have paid a little more but it's cheaper than my RRA and Tom is great to talk to.

I swapped out a few triggers on my ARs went from a geissele to a timney to a ATC AR gold and I loved it. So I went straight to their .308 version the SR Gold when I bought it and if you want to spend a little extra change it's well worth it.

My Velocity trigger arrived Monday. I installed it last night. A little challenge due to removing the ambi-safety and right side mag release.

Hint 1: tap the roll pin out from front to back using the short end of an Allen wrench to remove the right side bolt stop

Hint 2: When you place the trigger assembly in the lower, don't lock it down until you put the safety back in otherwise the trigger assembly will block the hole enough to not allow the safety to pass through

Hint 3: Tom supplies an Allen wrench and two more set screws to lock the already inserted screws. Torque down the lock screws and then insert and torque down the extra two set screws. Remember, the set screws small and are very hard. The lower is anodized Aluminum so don't get carried away with tightening the set screws.

I am very happy with the zero take up, zero creep and no indication when it will break. Over travel is almost zero too. Color me sold on this trigger, Tom Vehr thanks for a great product.
