Trigger options 2019

[maximus83]

Putting together a new lower and looking for input on quality triggers (search turned up a couple recent-ish threads like here, and here, but nothing recent that covered other trigger options beyond what I have). Haven't gotten a new trigger in 5 or 6 years so I don't know what current leading options are. What I've been running is either the milspec trigger that comes with BCM LPK's, or the Geissele SSA-E's.

What I'm looking for:
-Reliability for defensive use
-Reduced weight and better smoothness vs the milspec trigger, for best accuracy. This will be a lightweight lower for a multi-use Grendel upper, so I'm looking for accuracy but without throwing away reliability. A non-adjustable option (like the SSA-E's) is fine.

The 2 SSA-E's I'm currently running have been great, light, and super reliable/consistent, no complaints. But wondered if it's worth considering any of the newer options on the market. For example the Larue MBT-2S, Elf, Velocity, Hiperfire, Triggertech, etc.

MBT-2S gets my vote for best bang for your buck. Besides the price tag, the SSA-E is superb.

For the price, I don't think you can beat the LaRue MBT trigger, unless you don't like 2 stage triggers.

The MBT-2S straight bow is working well for me, but I don't have a ton of rounds through it yet, but I'm liking it so far.

Larue mbt is hard to beat for the price and performance.

Stay away, I repeat stay away from elftmann. I’ve had one wear down in under 2500 rounds

Trigger tech is one of the better single stage triggers out there.

If you haven't tried a flat faced G trigger, I'd highly suggest trying one out. The SD-C is said to be SSA equivalent while the SD-E is supposed to be the flat version of the SSA-E IIRC. They're simply awesome, I don't even like my SSA anymore.

Yeah I bought my SSA before I bought a SD-C, and I wish I had two SD-c's.

I have SSA, MTB, SD-E, and SD-C... the SD-C is my favorite for a fighting/general use rifle and I have the SD-E in my hunting rig. I’ll probably end up selling the others. They are all great but the SD-C stands above the rest for my preferences.

They also have a single stage now.

Larue good for the money, but if your happy with your G SSE, just stick with them. You have a lot of muscle memory with those great triggers, stick with them. I run SSA's in most every AR, but I bought one E trigger and Ill let one rip when prepping the trigger because its too light for my muscle memory. A lot to be said for muscle memory.
