    I just picked up a KAC 2 stage from a buddy for $150 and he even threw in a KAC Hand Stop. I think I made out better than he did. I'm gonna use it in my next build so it may be a while before I get to see how smooth it operates.

    I can saw after getting my first 2 SSA's, the only other unit i will own is maybe the DMR. These are great units, fit and finish is perfect. Improved this shooters game big time

    I have 3 lowers - an RRA, a Spike's and a DPMS. These were all complete lowers when I bought them. All except the RRA had mil-spec triggers. It had an RRA NM 2-stage and I really liked it.

    I decided I needed a good trigger for the Spike's lower so I bought a Timney 3# solid trigger. It was a snap to install. (I'd never swapped a trigger before.) I really liked the trigger, but I was trying to use it with a dedicated .22 LR upper and it just wouldn't function - doubles, light primer strikes, failure to reset the hammer, etc.

    Someone suggested a Geissele SSA so I ordered one. This one was harder to put in of course. I tested it with the .22 upper and it was very little better than the Timney.

    I ordered another RRA NM 2-stage and it worked perfectly. I sold the Timney, but had a left-over Geissele SSA. I installed it in my DPMS lower with a .223 upper last night. I haven't had a chance to test fire it, but it is definitely an improvement over the stock mil-spec trigger.

    This isn't intended to be a slam at any of the trigger manufacturers. I'm sure any of these triggers would have worked well with centerfire uppers - my .22 uppers just didn't like some of them. I still like the RRA 2-stage the best of all I have tried. The first stage is light, as is the second stage and they have a nice, crisp, creep-free let off. The Geissele SSA is also nice, but both stages are noticeably heaver than the RRAs. I guess it's pretty much a matter of personal preference, but for about $110, I'll take the RRA anytime.

    I had my gunsmith install my Geissele DMR and SSA. I picked up another SSA; I have built AR lowers myself in the past, so is the SSA a "drop-in" fit like an OEM trigger that I could put in without issues, or should I have my gunsmith install?

    The SSA is easier to install than the DMR. You can do it yourself. The slave pin makes it a snap.

    If I can do it, anyone can!
