    UPDATE: Came home from work to see a box on my desk. I knew what was inside. After taking care of my husbandly duties, I sat down at my desk with my tools and started the Geissele install video. All I can say is, super easy. If you got one ounce of common sense and the slightest bit of mechanical aptitude, installing a Geissele trigger is super simple. I had to keep fast-forwarding the video.

    I got the SSA for my 6960. Real nice take-up and a crisp break. Noticeable difference over stock but not too dramatic. Function check was perfect. I'll shoot it tomorrow after work.

    Great trigger. Go for it the next time they go on sale.

    Nevermind. You bought a trigger. Nice choice.

    You may find the Geisseles multiplying to accommodate more of your ARs. Too bad they won't do it sua sponte (i.e., you gotta pay for it).

    The SSA is the gold standard of AR triggers for a reason.

    Accurate. I'm not satisfied until all of my triggers have a G stamped on them, though I'm trying to convince myself that my 15-22 will be just fine with a BCM PNT trigger. The SD-E is my favorite, and I just ordered an SD-C for my wife's rifle.

    Same here, I pulled the BCM PNT from my BCM lower and installed an SSA. Put the PNT in my sport II, works fine but I know another SSA will finds it's way into the sport eventually.

    To which I will ask the question:

    "Where do you want your trigger finger when you are covering a bad guy that has surrendered and being searched by your partner?"

    -on the trigger.
    -not on the trigger.

    The time difference between take-up and firing in a two stage trigger and a single stage trigger is negligible, but the tactile feeling of coming against the second stage gives the brain a split second to "not-fire" if the situation requires it.

    My opinion.

    This might just be me, but definitely with your finger off the trigger!

    My opinion:

    I don't have a Geissele trigger for "the tactile feeling of coming against the second stage gives the brain a split second to "not-fire" if the situation requires it."

    I have a Geissele for when I have to break a more precision oriented shot. Single stage or two stage gets treated the same when combat shooting (aka: at speed). If I stop a shot from breaking, it won't be because of a second wall to pull through.

    I was trying to explain this very thing last night to a guy that swears he hates two stage triggers when I was telling him about that deal from DPMS.

    Question with a question: Which puts you more at-risk for a negligent homicide charge? If you have the ability to control your sympathetic nervous system to the degree you even feel the "wall", more power to you. Most of us aren't wired that acutely.
