    Now here is a stupid question??? What exactly is a 2-stage trigger and how does it differ from a regular triger? I have never used one so im in the dark.

    Thanks

    Basically (as the name implies), there are two stages before the hammer drops. The first stage is basically slack and takes you to a "wall" or a stopping point. The next pull after that is what drops the hammer.

    Think of the first stage on a two stage trigger as the warning track.

    What would be the tactical advantage of the 2-stage vs. the single stage? Im guessing accidental discharge?

    High end single stage triggers (like the Timney and JP) are set at around 2-4lbs. The first stage of a two stage trigger is generally around 4lbs.

    When you get nervous (scared) that your going to have to shoot someone breaking into your home, you will most likely put your finger on the trigger (which I know is a no no, but does happen). Having a single stage trigger set to 2-4lbs is a very bad thing IMHO for any weapon that you might use to defend yourself with.

    A good two-stage trigger has most of the trigger weight in the take-up (1st stage). This lets you work on your sight picture knowing that just a small amount of pressure (with no movement) will break the shot.

    I totally disagree. I have used both and I would only go with the LMT out of the two. The LMT was smoother and had a cleaner break point. The RRA was rough and stiff. I was told by a vender that he had at least 25% of his RRA triggers returned. Then again he may have been trying to sell me on a LMT.

    I just installed an LMT 2 stage in my lower. The first stage is sort of rough, like a light grinding during take up. No noise, just rough feeling. 2nd stage is nice and clean. Anyone else experience this?

    I am using the Armalite 2 Stage Tactical right now everyone says the Armalite 2 Stage Tactical, RRA 2 stage and LMT 2 Stage are very much alike but I have used the RRA and I like my Armalite 2 stage tactical better, it has a better break then the RRA I cant really say on the LMT I have never used it and as for Bushmaster it is prolly the worst I have used.. But I know you can send your Armalite and rra out and have it tuned. I might do that and yeah if it is new some of the creep will go away after some breaking in.
