    You should watch Geissele s videos on them.

    I have a few SSAs a few SSEs and a couple SDCs. The SSAs in my 16" guns and SSAEs in my 20"ers.

    Although the C is a combat trigger, it's really just an SSA with a flat face. I prefer the SSAs.

    I have mostly SSA and a couple of SSA-Es. As I've gotten more trigger time with each, it's become more apparent to me that the SSA-E is just light enough to make me uncomfortable with it in my bedside rifle. It's incredible in rifles with magnified optics, though.
    Primary Arms has the SSA for $154.99 and the SSA-E for $189.60, in stock as of right now.
    That's so cheap I bought another SSA just as a spare and to drive my average cost down...

    Using the search feature will result in numerous discussions about Geissele triggers and triggers in general.

    Who's got experience with both the SSA and the SSA-E?

    I'm leaning towards the SSA-E.

    I've got both. Negligible difference, but I use the SSA as a default on most of my rifles. SSA-E is a little lighter and I use it on more Precision builds.

    I was at a bowling pin rifle shoot last week where most rifles were ARs. I had the only Geiselle SSA-E trigger there, as I have one on my 7.62x39mm upper I use for hunting amd these shoots. FWIW everyone loved the trigger, but thought it too light for a tactical gun. They all commented that they couldn't believe how light the 2nd stage release was.

    I find the S3G to be scary light especially being a single stage trigger, and mine is on an SPR. I would rather run any of the enhanced triggers on a GP carbine than the S3G, by far.

    Really, I cannot tell much if any difference between the SSA or SDC and a G2S. I have more G2S's triggers, because I think it is definitely the best value and it's a great trigger.

    I have SSA-E's in my rifles. I subscribe to the theory that if I begin a trigger pull I want to finish it. The first stage is just the travel. That's a long way to pull a trigger accidentally. Now if you have the trigger half way pulled and are resting on the "wall", "break" or "second stage" trying to decide to finish the pull or not, I can see then sending a round accidentally, but I don't do that.
    I don't see myself holding a gun on someone with my finger on the trigger and the trigger half way pulled. I wouldn't want a light single stage though.

    You could always get a g2s for 109 from dpms. If i had the cash right now i would pick one up, but alas have to wait till the 31st and hope. http://www.dpmsinc.com/Geissele-2-St...er_p_2679.html

    Good logic there! Keep your bugger picker outta the hole until you know your going to pull it.

    Oh, I'd like to add, the only time I DON'T recommend Geissele is on Colt 9MM Carbines. I threw an SSA in a new AR6951 as a force of habit (new rifle, gets a new Geissele)...it would sporadically double, triple or quadruple tap on its on. I think the bolt was outrunning the hammer reset. I've shot lots of autos, but never unintentional autos! Crummy stock trigger fixed it.
