Need some suggestions. I want to put a Geissele trigger in my Patrol/Swat AR. Anyone have any suggestions on which one to use. I have never used there products but have heard great things about them.
I really like the SD-C. At first the flat trigger felt off during dry fire, but once I started shooting, it felt great.
You can’t go wrong with any of their triggers. I’ve shot the SSA, 2-Stage, and Super Tricon. They were all impressive.
For general all around AR use, I like the SSA-E or SSF, depending on semi or FA. They have a great video where Bill lays out all of their different triggers and the applications for them. I have the NM DMR on my .308 and it is awesome as well.
It’s a patrol and SWAT use AR. Get the SSA, period. IGNORE anything else, the SSA is the correct one for that application. Yes, the others have a slightly nicer lightweight second stage, I like mine of those as well, but the correct trigger for that application is the SSA, without hesitation that’s the one to get. Seriously, only the SSA.
Thanks for the suggestions. I just ordered the SSA for my carbine. That should be the ticket.
For entry level, the G2S is a great choice. Nearly identical in pull to the SSA. If you have the money, the SD-C is another good choice.
We offer member discounts on them if interested.

Grant,
How good is the G2S trigger pull? Is the SSA a lot better or only slightly better than it? Basically, I am wondering if the extra cost of the SSA is justified.
Very good. I like it so much that I run it in one of my guns. It is very similar to the SSA.

I put the SSA-E in my weapon and love the way it functions.
Currently running an SSA. I like it so far.
I ran SSA’s until I switched to their single-action trigger. I like it better, personally. YMMV, but a crisp 4.5# pull is what I prefer.
Just ordered a SSA last night. Looking forward to dropping it in and seeing how crisp it is.
The SSA isn’t crisp. The SSA is a two stage combat trigger that breaks more like a carrot than a crisp glass rod break. For home defense, police work or combat the SSA is the way to go.
Here it is:
I love my SSA-E, but if I were going to use my AR for combat or LEO use, I’d go with the SSA.
The SSA-E is great for very controlled shooting, i.e., bench, but is a bit too light for running and gunning.
I’m 4 minutes into this half hour video and wondering why in the hell haven’t I seen this before. Love the back story on how Geissele triggers came to be. Thanks for the link.
Gotcha. Well, it’s for home defense so I guess I’ll be cool. 
ive used the ssf on deployment in both semi and full and was very impressed with the improvement over stock usgi. the ssa shouldnt be much different. the trigger pull is a substantial improvement over stock triggers.
Exactly what he said, exactly what I run.
I have both a SSA-E and a SD-C. Both great triggers, but the SSA-E is a bit too light for anything but a precision rifle. I love them both in their respective roles. The SD-C is exactly the same as a SSA but utilizes the flat trigger, which is something I didn’t think I would care for, but ended up really liking.
