    single stage trigger suggestions

    I have a Timney competition 3lb on my 16" 5.56/223, and I am probably going to put the same only 4lb on my 7.5" 300blk pistol. The pistol wil be my home defense gun along with a p226 sig...but realistically (and I pray) it will only be used on the range.

    Any reason I should go a different route?

    I have a 4# Wilson TTU that I really like. I doesn't depend on setscrews to hold it in like the Timney. To tell you the truth I think a hot rod trigger in home defense gun is a liability.

    3-4# seems mighty light for an HD setup.

    Perhaps one of the improved mill-spec options or a 2 stage with a very short take up like the Larue MBT would be better choices.

    thanks for the replies. I really don't want a 2 stage, or from reviews and opinions geisselle would probably be the answer. Prepping on the range, and prepping in an intense scenario seem like a bad idea to me...bit I am new to ARs so probably wrong on that?

    I was liking the drop in idea also.

    Not sure why a 4lb would be too light? If finger is out of the trigger guard?

    You guys have me rethinking.

    I really appreciate the advice, and patience with a new guy.

    I have a 4lb Wilson TTU and 4lb Timney 668s. I would recommend the Wilson.

    Not sure why a 4lb would be too light? If finger is out of the trigger guard?

    Chattanooga has a moderate climate, but I lived up north and wore gloves in the winter a heavier trigger would be best. If you decide to go with a heavier 5-6lb single stage, take a look at LaRue.

    I'm in Florida. I don't own gloves anymore

    I was thinking about the Wilson.

    I think the plated/polished mil-spec style triggers don't get the love they deserve. The BCM PNT and similar triggers are a significant improvement over a standard trigger and retain the strong reset and years of product improvement of the mil-spec trigger.

    I have a BCM PNT installed in my HD AR and I think it's perfect in that role.

    If you are finessing the trigger in your "intense scenario" you are increasing your odds of being killed. You can jerk a 9 pound 2 stage trigger just as fast as a 4 pound single stage.

    yup makes sense. You kind of made my point...probably would be "finessing" on the range (from the little I know I think thats what 2 sages are about, prep it fine tune the aim and shoot) and then doing something totally diffeent in an intnse scenario. Could never finesse on the range but then I don't understand why get a 2 stage at all?

    I hope I don't sound argumentative, I am questioning to learn not argue, written words without "tone" can be misinterpreted
