I'm looking for a trigger for my SBR build. I will be going with Geissele. I already own an SSA-E trigger and love it. I am curious about their Super Speed Precision single stage trigger. I am also interested in the Super Tricon trigger for the trigger shape. The trigger will be going in a 300 blackout SBR and will be used for back yard target shooting, deer hunting under 100 yards, and home defense if needed. My decision will be between these three triggers. I really like my SSA-E in my 556 ar but I would like to try something different for this build maybe. What do you guys think?

I prefer a single stage trigger

I will say I have been leaning more towards the SSP single stage.

Now for my next question, super dynamic trigger bow or standard curved?

I really like my SSA but have you thought about trying the larue? It seems to be the best bang for the money right now.

I haven't considered a Larue. I've just always been a big fan of Geissele.

I just installed the SD3G on my BCM and it is just incredible. Light pull but very predictable and crisp, and also allowed me to crank off a few rounds very quick but extremely controllable. I love the feel of the flat bow.

If you do change your mind, the Larue is great. I bought it around the same time as my SSA-E.  The SSA-E is definitely lighter and crisper, but for the price difference I would have been happy with the Larue.

Larue went in my 14.5" and the SSA-E into my SPR.  Neither have actually been shot at the range yet so I can't comment on that.

The Larue is a fine trigger for the money.  It broke at about 3/4lb heavier than my SSA-E, and the face of the trigger is just a little wider.

Thank you for your input. I'll have to check it out.

The SSP trigger is not yet released, it's coming sometime this year, but I don't have a hard street date for it.

The Tricon is personally my favorite trigger, and I currently have it on a 10.2" AR Pistol and it's as perfect there as it was on my 16" gun.

Let us know if you've got any questions!

I love the SSA E for my precision build but the LT MBT is taking over my stable for all other guns. Too much value to pass up.

Larue went on sale today. Better hurry! $99

It will be a while before I get the trigger. I'm buying one thing a month for this build as extra spending money allows, so the SSP will most likely be out by the time I'm ready to pull the trigger so to speak. I really like the shape of the super tricon but I don't know if being use to the ssa-e will make the super tricon feel inferior. It sure would be swell if Geissele would send me the SSP and the Super Tricon to try out and pick one

I have used and installed a lot of Geissele triggers of various models and my favorite all around trigger is the SD-E. In have never tried the Tricon though. The G2S is impressive after it is broken in and reflects a great value.

Is the SD-E essentially the SSA-E with the flat trigger bow?

Does anyone else have any input? I have decided between the Super Speed Precision, and the Super Tricon. I assume the Super Tricon is pretty much the SSA with the hybrid trigger bow. Like stated earlier, I have the SSA-E.   Just a thought, but I wonder if Geissele would sell me an SSA-E with the tricon trigger bow?

If you go to the Geissele web site, they have this really useful thing they call "Trigger Selection Guide." It might be within the realm of possibility that the company who makes the triggers might know at least a little bit about which of their triggers are best suited for specific applications. Just sayin...

Single Stage trigger for SBR.  Wait for SSP.

I've got a bunch of Geissele triggers as well as a couple MBT's.  They're all good, just different.  I guess I'm in good company when I say I like my Tricon's the best.  Got two of them, both in SBR's.  Crisp break and I really like the trigger bow.

Why do people insist on putting really light and short pull triggers in potential HD rifles?

Similar logic applies to rifles as it does pistols.

I personally like a nice 2 stage in the 5-5.5lb range for HD, I can go lower depending on the role the rifle is to serve.

I've tried both Geissele SSA-E "own 2" and the Larue MBT.. I like the SSA-E a lot more.. NOT because I'm a fanboy, lol I've alway have been a Larue fan.. Now I'm in the market for a new trigger.. I think I'll try the Super Tricon this time.. It was my #1 choice but never pulled the trigger on it.. Jyst waiting on a good sale for it..

OP you will love any  of the triggers mentioned here. I have 2 SSA triggers if that says anything.
6/12/2017 4:51:33 PM EDT

Honestly I'd just stick with the SSA-E, it's my all around favorite trigger and you won't have any difference from one AR to the next. I'm migrating all my AR's to an SSA-E.

I tried that. You really cant refine the options to well. You can only pick one use for the trigger on their trigger search. I would like to do a little bit of everything, hunting, target shooting, plinking/training, and if need be, home defense.

I do agree with you. I was leaning more towards the super tricon over the ssp or another ssa-e. I really do like my ssa-e but I could also see where an accidental discharge could be possible in a high stress situation.

I don't know if it's still on but last week- LaRue had their MBT for $99.00.

I have nothing but LaRue's and SD-C's. I really like the flat bow on the SD-C. I also like the wider bow of the LaRue. If someone could marry these 2 triggers, I'd be in heaven.

Love the Tricon! I got it on my lower, for what will be a mk18 clone. Just seems like the trigger that was design with Navy SEAL input, should go on a Navy SEAL carbine clone.

I'm a big fan of standardizing stuff, especially controls. It's SSA-E's in everything for me. Same thing with charging handles, BCM Mod 4.

Just got my Super Tricon in the mail today and man I actually really like it. I mean I knew I wouldn't be disappointed but, somehow it seams smoother than my SSA-E (maybe due to the heavier weight?) I really like the trigger profile and from just 10 minutes of playing with it, I think I may actually like it better than my SSA-E.
Though the SSA-E may be better suited for more long range target applications due to its SLIGHTLY lighter trigger pull, I don't see any reason the Super Tricon wouldn't do well at it. I emphasize slightly lighter because though you can tell it is that one pound heavier durring the first stage pull, the trigger profile seems to make it feel about the same at the break.

I definitely believe I made the right trigger decision for this home defense / hunting / target / all around shooting build.  Extremely happy with it! This will not be my last Super Tricon trigger.
