    Call Geissele to order them.

    I have an SD-3G. The only other premium trigger I ever tried before this was the Rock River NM 2-stage I have in my coyote rig. The SD-3G sort of put me off at first as I wasn't ready for how fast it is, and it's a lot lighter than I was used to too. However, 6 months down the road now, and I'll never look back. I love this trigger, I just had to get used to it. I don't even have fun shooting with my other triggers anymore, which consist of 2 polished (but stock) RR lpk triggers, the RR NM 2-stage, a polished Armalite lpk trigger, and an oddly smooth no-name lpk trigger I just put together.

    I'm really liking the odd flat-face on the trigger too. I find that it's slightly uncomfortable, and it causes me naturally to not want to beat on/ride the trigger while running through stages...I think it actually made me a slightly better shooter in that respect, if that makes any sense. It definitely feels funky at first though.

    The SD-3G is an amazing trigger, you really have to shoot one to know what you are missing.

    The SD3G trigger is awesome. The thing is FAST. I've only had trouble with it doubling once. It was in a .308 AR and only doubled when I shot from prone (I tend to have a light touch on the trigger and I guess it recoiled before I had the trigger pressed all the way back).

    Other than that, I've never had any other issues with this trigger.

    What is the upside of having a flat trigger vs a normal curved one?

    It allows you to keep your finger lower on the trigger for a lighter perceived pull. It's more comfortable IMO. I wish I could get one for my AK.

    I LOVE this trigger, it lives up to all the kudos.

    But, glad to know others have had doubles with this trigger.

    I was at a match and I was the first shooter on the first stage of the day. Basically out of 100 or so people at the match no one was shooting yet except me.

    When the first trigger pull resulted in a "TRIPLE" it was VERY apparent to everyone at the match. I was very lucky not to be DQ'd on the first shot of the match!

    Examining the gun afterward the only anomaly I found was one of the trigger pins had disengaged very slightly. Almost undetectable. I've kept an eye on it afterwards and have not had any further doubles, or triples.

    For those interested in increasing the 3.5 lb trigger pull weight on their SD-3G triggers, Geissele also offers springs with pull weights of approx 4.5-5lb (gold colored) and 6lb (blue colored), just call them.

    Biggy - good to know. I assume those heavier springs also mean more reset force? The reset is already fast and crisp, but I might trade a little heavier pull for a little faster reset.

    Serevince - I suspect that most people getting "doubles" with the S3G are in fact accidentally bump firing. I've shot mine really fast, and under competition stress, with no doubling at all. I also wonder if a lower with slightly out of spec dimensions might cause doubling or make it more likely by reducing the sear engagement or interfering with the disconnector operation.

    HOLY SH*T!!!

    The GA triggers Ive owned and extensively used over the last several years include a couple of S2Ss, a couple of SSAs, one SD-E, and one SD-C. I have significantly sampled the Hi Speed(DMR), and have tried on a few occasions a SSA-E.

    The only GA triggers that Ive never felt or shot with are the S3G, and the SD-3G.

    Ive owned three KAC 2stage match triggers, one LMT 2 stage trigger, and lastly have owned several stock Colt single stage triggers.

    I just received and installed a SD-3G this afternoon for the first time, all I can say is HOLY SH*T

    I'm mesmerized by this pull and reset. Bill and his team never seize to amaze me to the nth degree. No words will ever adequately describe the feel of the pull on this trigger.

    It's one helluva understatement to say that the SD-3G has reinvented the term "rolling" trigger. Absolutely silky smooth movement until you fall over the proverbial "edge".
