    I have an ACT, SSA, SSA-E, SD-E, and the MBT.

    The ACT is most definitely not smoother and more refined than any of the others. It’s a good nil spec trigger, but it’s not magical. The ACT rides in my “going afield” rifle.

    I’ve used a few coated type triggers. My prior experience was mainly military and “mil-spec” triggers. I’ve really liked the ACT. Some of the other brands I have tried did not demonstrate acceptable durability with the coarings at the engagement surfaces. I feel like the ACT is the best trigger if you want to stick to the original design, but desire something slightly better or more corrosion resistant.


    A few months ago, I bought a Hiperfire EDT2 for like $60 I liked it so much that I bought another for another rifle. So far I like these triggers better than my ACT’s. They “feel” much slicker. Barring corrosion, breakage, or unusual wear, I will probably standardize on the EDT or EDT2.

    I have several ACT triggers but they seem to keep being replaced by SSA or SDC triggers. If you care enough about a quality trigger to ask I see no reason to buy twice...

    However, if you are just looking for reliability and want to put rounds downrange the ACT is a fine choice. Just don't try out a Geissele in a buddy's gun ;-)

But if you only use GI type triggers and are blasting 2-3 shots/second, it's good.

    At least two retailers have the Hiperfire EDT for $60 right now, which is a far nicer trigger, and the Larue MBT continues to have a $99 special offer (for what, 2 years now?) and is very comparable to a Geissele SSA; in fact I like it slightly better. So there's not much reason to get an ACT for price, only if you either prefer a GI trigger or are required to use one for agency reasons.
    I was looking at the EDT and the MBT triggers today too. Kinda leaning towards the MBT at the moment.

    My ACT is indistinguishable from my PNTs, but they're far from what I'd consider nice.

    For $99, the MBT is an easy choice over an ACT for $65.

    This was my first AR upgrade. It is smoother than mil spec and it gives you an idea of what direction you want to go if you want another trigger.

    I have used an ACT in the past, and I thought it was a nice trigger for $65. I've since gotten over the nickel boron craze, so my current go to rifle has a QMS. To me it feels the same as an ACT, and the best part is that it costs $20 less.

    ALG ACT trigger

    LE context.

    ACT are what I put in our SWAT guns as well as BCM PNT triggers. Edited to add without the purple hammer spring.
