    My BCM trigger outperforms me, but when I do my part I connect.

    Someday maybe I'll get something else...then again...maybe I'll put that $200 towards training instead.

    you could always try a ALG defense which is a MilSpec trigger that the guys at Geissele tuned a bit and they are not much about $45 to $55.

    I have come to love my Geissele SSA-E and Geissele Super Tricon Triggers.

    But like some have said before just train, train and train with what you have until you get use to it. Or upgrade to a quality trigger system and train with it until you become good and fast..etc
    God bless our troops.

    Don't care to list but I feel I need something down here.

    LWRC M6A2 SPR.
    LMT308MWS
    Remington 700P LTR (GAP mods).

    I've had a very positive experience using the ALG triggers in previous builds. That said, I elected to go with a standard Colt trigger for my latest project which I picked up dirt cheap. Polished up the contact points a little and it feels just as smooth as the ALGs.

    Nothing against a good 2 stage or match FCG. My KAC MOD1 came with the newer 2 stage drop-in trigger. Awesome trigger and I won't be swapping it out for anything!

    Shooting is a hobby for you, right? If you have a component of your firearm that doesn't meet your expectations, replace it with a better one. Geissele makes an excellent trigger with a consistent and positive reset. Very satisfying.

    Again looking at triggers to shave times is not the right place to be looking. Just some things to consider.
    Until you're burning over 30k rounds a year, the above advice is the best. I'm below that threshold, and anything measured in hundredths is just irrelevant for me - driving the gun better makes such a big difference.

    If anything, master the GI trigger BEFORE moving on to another ones, so that you can learn that trigger well too. I have Geissele triggers on a lot my rifles, but they mostly only help for precision shooting. I still run them a lot like a GI unit on reset, but completely different as a two-stage on the takeup.

    Thanks for the feedback all, very much appreciated.

    I'll go with the consensus and stick with the GI trigger and look for reasonable ways to get my round count up.

    I need to get more frequent and focused training sessions in.

    Are we too focused on the reset and not enough on the squeeze and break of the trigger?
    Two things:
    -I've found the break on the SSA much easier to control and predict compared to the creep and heaviness of the OEM
    -I have exactly the same trigger in a couple 3 ARs, so that it is the same no matter which one I pick up

    This last is no small thing, and let's me train with whatever rifle I'm using.

    I have a SD-C in my personal rifle, and while its an absolutely amazing trigger I really don't notice a difference in speed vs. my work rifle. I'm sure if I was shooting thousands of rounds a week it might start to make a difference, but like the others have said there's a very small percentage of shooters that are at that level.

    Practice resetting your trigger during dry fire to build the muscle memory. Once you get that down even wearing gloves won't matter

    I feel the same way. All of my rifles have an SSA. I see no reason why, for my needs, I should saddle myself with a trigger that performs below my expectations when there are infinitely better options available.
