best trigger for the M&P 10

Jones424 · Nov 27, 2013

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.

Thanks ASH,

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

jdcam · Dec 11, 2013

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

Jones424 · Dec 11, 2013

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.

BW460 · Dec 11, 2013

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.

Geronimo Jim · Jan 13, 2014

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

best trigger for the M&P 10
