    The two stage G triggers, yes. It keeps the long take up of the standard AR semi-auto trigger for safety but instead of having the long creep of the standard trigger, it uses all but the last bit of sear travel for the first stage of a tow stage trigger. Just before the sear break, spring rate is increased to keep the pull from being too light.

    The SSA has a heavier break that isn't quite as crisp as the SSA-E, but it still has an excellent trigger pull. I have both the SSA and the SSA-E. The SSA is a versatile trigger, suitable for both close in fast work and deliberate precision shooting. The SSA-E is a more specialized trigger and is best when used for taking deliberate shots.

    My favorite trigger for toys used to be the SD-3G but I recently picked up a KE Arms SLT-1 and like it better. With a coupon code I paid $168 shipped including an ambi safety, significantly less than the Geissele.

    Geissele (and other conventional, non drop-in) triggers have to be safe with pin spacing at the extreme ends of milspec tolerance. That means that there's a little more sear engagement, and therefore a little more pull. In comparison, a drop-in manufacturer can run a tighter tolerance on hole spacing, as they control tolerance. This lets them have shorter pulls.

    I've said this before, bears repeating. Just wait till you get a popped primer stuck in one of those sealed drop-in trigger units, then come back and tell how great it is to have a locked up firearm.

    The KE Arms SLT-1 is a significantly different design than a typical trigger. For example, it doesn't have a conventional disconnector.

    As far as I've seen, basically all AR triggers are minor variations on the same basic geometry. This isn't.

    The long sear engagement of the G trigger has nothing to with pin spacing. It's to prevent the rifle from firing if it's dropped or subjected to rough handling. That's the reason the standard AR trigger has a long sear engagement.

    I've had popped primers tie up GI and G triggers, both required taking out the entire FCG to clear it out.

    Exactly. You can separate the trigger from the hammer and there is no place you can't clean out.

    How do you separate the trigger and hammer in a drop in?
