    For a 3gun trigger I prefer the SD-3. I've only used 1 SD-3 and 1 S3G and find both to feel a lot like single stage triggers. Both are very fast for multiple shots up close (the SSAs are slower is this regard).

    I own SSAs for most everything else I use that are training/defense guns. For my hunting gun, a 6.8 16" midlength I have a DMR trigger in it.

    Ok let me see if I can clarify. For what I do with the G.A. triggers (3 gun), which is different than what some people buy them for, I actually run a few different triggers in a few different set ups. If Im shooting Heavy Optics with my N6, I run a S3G trigger. Tac Optics I use a DMR. Im playing around with the SD Enhanced because it reminds me more of a DMR and Im going to give it a go for the 2011 season. Thats really my reasoning.

    Honestly, your best bet is to find some people in your area with the versions your interested in and dry fire them a bunch to see what fits your tastes. I think triggers are personal preference, some people like them this way, others that, others in certain guns for certain applications. Thats my 2 cents, which I think is not even worth that in this economy.

    Thanks to both of you gents for elaborating a bit more.

    I just figured that since some folks are a bit confused by this topic, we could try and get some actual meat behind why the folks who are more well versed in numerous diff. triggers, know the designs behind them, and understand the building rational for using a particular model that you happen to recommend with in a reply. There is quite a bit of nuances involved with these triggers, yet the differences b/t these models regardless of how small they appear to be can play a big role in whether you in up matching the hatch or filling the bill in terms of getting the best trigger for your actual use and gun, or you end up with a pricey trigger that won't make that "difference" that a perfectly matched up trigger to an application/build will in fact make.

    Ill just throw this out there as my interpretation of the Super Dynamic triggers.




    SD-3G: A really quick trigger that feels likes a single stage. Best used for circumstances where trigger speed is paramount.



    SD-Combat: Feels a lot like the SSA in weight and acuation but features the flatter trigger, and is a bit crisper. Not DMR crisp but if you spend a lot of time around Geissele triggers you'll notice.



    SD-E: Im going to state straight up Ive not shot this trigger but I think I have enough experience with their triggers to at least offer a bit of opinion on this...the SD-E would be a replacement for the DMR type trigger but in a less complicated design in being non adjustable but being light enough for that type of precision work the DMR was made for. I do have an SSA-E which is basically, from my understanding, pretty much the same thing in concept just with a curved type trigger instead of the flat trigger like the Super Dynamic lineup has.



    Just as a liability statement here the last few years Ive been shooting almost exlusively with two stage triggers like the SSA and KAC. Those 2 triggers are very close in feel. If you're used to a single stage for precision work then my comments about the SD-3G probably will not having the same meaning. I am used to a light first stage, feeling a wall hitting the 2nd stage, and if I push through that 2nd stage the gun is going to fire. If you're used to single stage triggers for precision work then a 2 stage like the SSA, SSA-E, SD-C, SD-E, and DMR will probably feel pretty weird for you having 2 distinct parts of the trigger pull.


    When I shoot for precision I get settled in, pull the trigger to through the light first stage, and stop at the wall of the 2nd stage. I regulate my breathing, and use the fundamentals of marksmanship to pull through the wall of the 2nd stage at which point the gun will fire.


    With a single stage there is no wall so you're basically applying the fundamentals throughout the entire pull of the trigger.



    One more comment about the SD-3G. Basically to me it has about 1/3rd the travel before the gun fires as a regular semi USGI trigger. Basically if you move the trigger back at all you better be ready for the gun to fire. With a USGI trigger its basically like you're pulling and pulling and pulling some more through a gritty and heavy pull before the gun shoots.

    today today today

    Yup my SD3G should be at the mail facility being sorted for delivery today. I sooooo can't wait till it gets here. I was extremely disappointed when I got my used AR out of jail only to find a bad disconnecter/hammer that made it a single shot /sigh. I also had problems sighting in my Magpul back ups only to find out....ummm lol they were on back wards??? I thought the good looking side faced you?? OK so I guess I should have looked my bad for assuming this guy (and myself for that matter) that sold it to me actually had a clue. To be honest I guess I should be grateful it didn't have a catastrophic malfunction ....As I said in a post relating to this issue I did get very well acquainted with the lower which is good considering before purchase I hadn't even looked at a schematic of an AR before.

    got it

    I decided to check the mail and guess what? I got my 3 gun trigger ...musta came yesterday. I installed in about 5 mins no issues works great..awsome prodcut but will have to wait till the range to see how good. Not sure what the issue was with the stock trigger the guy had in it. Springs look good though looks like he tried to adjust the pull by bending the hammer spring some looks ok though. Also got an accuwedge which of course made it a tight fit thus making my fingers sore YET AGAIN!!! lol.

    Not sure what to say about the new trigger. It's kinda hard to judge it in the living room. Looks really nice, came in simple packaging (looked like a freezer bag) w/ lube, Came with a helper pin and of course simple easy to follow instructions w/ lube points on back. Had to be carefull dropping it in as it seemed like one of the legs kept wanting to go backwards and one forwards. Not sure why these cost $100 more than GI's but guess we'll see. I' am just happy to not have a single shot .223 now. Will post more after I take it to the range.

    They are worth far more imo than $100 over the terrible GI trigger and these unit's honestly reflect their cost in the utmost manner.

    Firstly, the Designs GA incorporates are totally proprietary to their company with the design being built and tested 100% from the bottom up with no corners ever cut in the most minor of ways in regards to either design or material/construction. These trigger's are fundamentally designed at their core level to be dead nuts reliable, however their performance and feel is equally impressive and imho, equally as industry leading. One look at the inside of GA's facility and location where the proverbial "magic" happens, and you have a whole new sense of the term "hand built"...these triggers are walked through the entire mfg'ing process by GA, and then ultimately each unit is functioned tested before leaving their hands.

    The people at GA flat out take immense pride and personal ownership over the triggers they build and thereby no questions asked, they will do everything in their power to remedy any very unlikely potential problem. Their are a few other outfits that I can say operate like this at almost a 100% CS satisfaction rate, but none of them have a totally spot free internet record where not even one person has supposedly been "burnt" by their service or their exceptional triggers and blasted off about it.

    If all that does not convince you that these are worth the extra coin....maybe the fact that GA triggers are made using hardened S7 Steel...a.k.a. the stuff used to make jackhammer bits will

    The SD-C is a clear cut winner in my book for the best do-it-all, combat rated trigger on the market. Just as easily as I would have told somebody over the last several yrs. that the SSA was the best overall/most versatile, combat rated trigger on the market...I now will say the SD-C is just that much better than the SSA and has now replaced it at the top of my list. To be clear, I mean this in every single aspect of those two GA models.

    I think I prob. will limit myself personally to only running the current SD-C I already have due to the fact that I am very sound in running with the SD-E's which feel to the naked touch quite significantly lighter but it has such a crisp break that just melts me. It's addictive to say the least...I would be willing to bet Crack ain't got s**t on the SD-E's crispy break and addictive quality. The SD-E is for sure my perfect trigger, and I don't believe any particular type of AR(Application wise) exists that I cannot enhance by adding the SD-E into it's mix. I have run it in a variety of roles including a SPR, Recce, and a MK18 type, with excellent results on each type. With that said, the SD-C has the more manageable and user friendly pull, while maintaining a ton of the SD-E's amazing performance and thus I recommend it now as the finest user adaptable and user friendly, combat rated trigger made on a broad end user scale.
