The newly released Q AR compatible trigger seems pretty expensive

[newtriumph]

I listened to the Q podcast with Haley and they talked about the trigger. KB mentioned one of the reasons they made it is because Geissele were too expensive for them to use in their honey badger and the AR Gold triggers they started with weren't always fitting their lower receivers.

I like some Q products (particularly the suppressor) - but the honey badger and now trigger pricing is not for me - definitely going for the hypebeast pricing model i think.

KB did say that the trigger was extremely drop safe - and maybe it will be magical in every possible way. I was going to try it if it were a bit cheaper.

But since none of the stuff is combat grade anyway, you just buy their barrel and handguard and roll your own - and use a Geissele trigger for 1/2 price if you want to go that route.

1. $350 is a crazy price, especially for their first foray into market. BUT, they sold out in seconds so clearly they’re smarter then me. But still, top of the line Geissele is $110 less…

2. Whats the advantage of putting it on safe with hammer forward?

Being able to determine visually that the gun is safer, all things equal, does seem beneficial - LMT has it on their Estonia ���� gun too based on customer request.

Emotionally driven purchases are just part of capitalism - I hope these triggers provide everything these customers dream they will

Hold on... So the Geissele was too expensive so they made their own. Their own is 110 dollars more than the most expensive Geissele.

So either:
A. They missed their price mark significantly
B. They have insane mark up on their trigger

Meanwhile LaRue MBT is $99.

I don’t know that anything better than a stock or stock+NP3 type trigger will net any capability increase from a PDW size gun.

Not all upgrades are necessary.

But…but…it’s the BEST TRIGGER EVER! They could easily sell it for more. We should be thanking them.

Too expensive for them. Can build their own cheaper than they can source G's.

This. I have Geissele triggers in all my AR's, except my .300BLK pistol. It has a mil-std FCG.

I think it's that their customers have more money than brains.

Unnecessarily complicating something that "ain't broke". I like that the AR safety won't move with the hammer down. I don't have to mess with the weapon to check the status.
