| I'm debating over the CM drop-in (single stage) and RRA (NM 2-stage). My questions is, what's the major difference between single and 2 stage and which will benefit me most for home defense and range use. BTW, other trigger suggestions are welcome as long as you state why. |

A single stage is your typical trigger (prob. the one that came in your AR). It has a smooth pull all of the way through. A 2 stage (if I understand correctly- I dont compete, mine is for LEO purposes) has a slack stage (2lb) then a harder 2nd stage (4lb). For your home def. purposes, you should keep your installed trigger. Try using the search button- you might be able to find a more proper answer. |
Anything drop in should be fine, the RRA is a good bargain. I wouldn't monkey with any of them for reliability concerns, the paranoid among us might worry about liability issues. To me reliability is the big issue as I expect mine to go bang every time. That being said I have a range toy that I polished the trigger on, only because it felt like there was sand in it. I knew there wasn't because i had just assembled it and lubed it properly. Single stage or two stage is really a matter of preference. There is no right or wrong answer. Provided of course it is a proven design. It is useless to you if it doesn't go bang when you need it to.

For defense stick with a stock trigger. Unless your very adept at trigger work don't stake your life on anything that might not work. 2 stage trigger's were developed for service rifle comp. Rule's require at least 4.5 pounds total weight. they have a heavy first stage and a light second stage. Take up the first stage line up your sight and a slight more pressure and bang. In a gun fight no time for all that. Aim and squeeze. Repeat as nesassary.
