Thank you for this!
thanks for the data!
Larue mbt-2s
Love these in depth videos man, keep up the good work!
Thanks for your efforts. This saved me much trial and error in settling on a trigger for my 308 build. I just ordered the Rise Armorment 535 as it fits my needs. I am looking for a slight pre-travel to match up with the 1 mm pretravel in my Franklin Armory Binary trigger in my 556. I also used your HARLEYWOOD code at MSR arms to order the trigger and few other things for my 308 build.
Great data, but the problem with this testing is that this is just paper testing. I did the same thing when I bought my first AR. I tested what FELT the best and what had the least take-up, shortest reset, etc, but hadn’t shot any of them. It was all theoretical.
BUT, when it comes to putting it in the gun and the overall reliability over thousands of rounds, Geissele is the my go-to, never fail, most reliable best trigger in the game. You don’t have to deal with set screws coming loose, anti-walk pins.
To each their own though, it depends what you want. If reliability over thousands of rounds is what you want for a self-defense type gun, Geissele is all i will use. If you want the shortest, crispiest, and something adjustable for a shooting game or match, maybe one of these drop ins is better for you.
Interesting my hyper fire doesn’t have any take up
I think those heavier spring just hit the hammer harder
I have yet to find a trigger nicer and crisper than the Trigger Tech Diamond series for accuracy rifles, but I do own quite a few triggers and some are better for self defense or combat purposes.
Excellent, A+
That last trigger has to many springs which probably equates to 2 extra things that could decide to not cooperate.
Where’s the latest trigger review 😅🤥🤨 more!!
As ALWAYS thanks harley !!!
Yes
You won’t have an ND if you trigger discipline is adequate.
Hey, just discovered these trigger reviews, what a great resource for the AR-15-builders community! I can imagine they cost quite a bit to make, so I totally understand if not all requests are gonna be possible for you to take. I will simply submit that I would be interested in seeing a similar review of any one or all of the Wilson Combat triggers, particularly the two stage and the Paul Howe. My main interest in them stems from their half-cock notch that reportedly makes the rifle more drop safe, which might be interesting to see tested. More in the vein of these videoz through, if I’m gonna spend $150 on a drop-in trigger, I want at little boost in performance over the BCM Enhanced Mol-spec that came in my rifle, so a preview of there pull from the trigger jig would be awesome! Thanks and keep up the great content!
Can somebody please teach this guy how to properly use a trigger pull gauge???
I don’t understand why you take the time to print out a piece of paper to measure the trigger pull, but then start the trigger in between two lines…
I definitely appreciate the trigger comparisons. I have bought a couple triggers based on your videos.
Great video!!! Thanks for the comparisons!
How in the hell could you not love the SD3G Trigger?? I have yet to find a better trigger.
Should do a review on the ATC Gold Flat.
I see what you did with the 556 trigger videos.
Awesome info brother. Thanks a lot
Damn. One of the best comparison videos on triggers I have ever seen. Outstanding. Thank you for that detail.
You still out there? You just popped up because I’ve been looking at triggers. Great video, I just got a Rise this morning and can’t to check it out! Put it in and unbelievable difference from the mil spec!
hammer performance?
SSA-E AND SD-E Are the same the sd-e is just newer with a flat Bow design. Both are amazing and the SD-E I get the best of both worlds at a 3pound and under trigger pull. And as long as you keep your finger tight on the reset it’s a fast rapid fire machine. And you can blow right past that first stage if needed. But I think every rifle that is average sized should have the 2 stage incase they need that accurate shot down range.
have you done a best of budget AR-15 triggers test like this one?
Do it! Where part 4!?
When you change the point on the trigger that you place the gauge every time, you’re going to get a different measurement every time. It’s a lever – the closer to the tip of the tigger you out the gauge, the lighter the pull. You should have been placing that gauge at the tip every time. Fail.
I’m glad the ra535 is more on the heavier side.
Thank you for this
Excellent video sir!
Best trigger review on the social media platforms. I’m a big fan of the 434 and have installed in in all but 2 of my AR platforms. (If you want to call the PSA KS-47 an AR) I was a fan of the Elf for a while, but they stopped using a set screw on their "Non-Adjustable" triggers (Which actually made it adjustable if you flipped it around). But that 434 is difficult to beat for the price, especially if you have a BDU account.
Thank You!
Nice job
I just bought a Radical RF-15 and it has to have a 6-7# trigger? As someone who shot an xp-100 built by Ralph Bond in the 90’s it had an 8 ounce trigger and 7# feels like a ton. I want to thank you for taking the time to do this. The best part is the woo- or woof when its a good one.😀
Just put a Hiperfire EDT Sharp Shooter in my Bushmaster and used the 4 1/2lb spring. To me a really good upgrade from the mil-spec, this is my first trigger upgrade. Like to see a test on those EDTs from Hiperfire to know the actual numbers. BTW, excellent informative videos 👍👍
Timney 3 lb competition
Some nice unintentional asmr. Great review
well done. I’m looking for a fighting trigger to replace the mil-spec sponge on my AR. Something with a crisp 4 lb break and very little creep. Any suggestions?
Should be able to easily fix the take up on the triggertech by inserting a shim under the front
10:50 I like that little take up then again I’m a 2 stage trigger guy all the way they are great for accuracy and if I’m gonna be shooting fast I’m not gonna notice that play anyway.
how do you fix the hammer follow problem?
If the criteria for best AR trigger was creep ( or lack of ) clean break, quick and short reset, quality of materials and finally pull weight ( oh yeah, value) I would love to see you do and addendum to this video and add the Blackout Defense 3 lb drop in trigger. It does have the stability set screws that you weren’t fond of but I didn’t have too much trouble installing it. This trigger has zero creep, zero travel, crisp break, consistent 3lb pull and very short reset.
Blackout Defense is an Aerospace company and the materials are of the highest quality. Price around $205.
I’d like to see a test comparing trigger pull weight to hammer strike force. Basically I want a very light trigger with a heavy hammer strike. I have a nice light spring but I also have some light primer strikes on certain ammo
I have a Elftmann AR9 drop in trigger installed on my shorty pcc and I love it, smooth, crisp, not much travel at all. Love em.
Doesn’t it effect how much weight it takes depending on where you are on the trigger with leverage?
My TriggerTech Diamond is perfect
My 308 has the triggertech diamond and the trigger pull is crazy light under 2 pounds.
