I installed a Hiperfire 24 3g trigger into an AR I’m working on. I’m wanting to add a short throw safety as well, but am wondering if anyone has specific experience with short throw safeties to know which will match up and workwith the Hiperfire 24 3g trigger.
I bought one for testing back in 2013 or so, it works well with the BAD-ASS-ST, I only recently removed it and replaced it with a Geissele SSP. Way too many parts on the 24 3G trigger. It is very crisp and has given me years of reliable service, I think the extra springs and the bars required to install the springs are probably unnecessary.
For what it’s worth, I installed a Geissele SSP in my other rifle. In a test run of 12 rounds, I had one misfire. Light struck the primer. I put the round back in and it went off with no issue.
I love how that trigger feels, but unless I can solve the light strike issue, it’s worth nothing to me in a competition rifle.
The light strike issue is ostensibly the reason for extra springs in the Hiperfire 3G trigger. When I felt the SSP, I was like wow, but I suspected it felt the same as the Hiperfire, and they are indeed very similar.
I think in general that’s Hiperfire’s niche - hard hammer strike with light trigger pull. Normally they do not come part in parcel. I can say where I’ve had light primer strikes on some of my 3.5 triggers, I’ve never had a light primer strike with my EDT triggers. Odf course that’s not one of their 24 series comp triggers, but I think the tech is the same or similar and is shared across models. At least that’s the advert blurb.
