I just got my BCM lower and love it. Its very nice. The trigger is nice,… but needs some work. Its brand spankin new and feels gritty. Its has a nice sharp break,… but I feel a lot of resistance or friction when pulling the trigger back. I could get in there and mod the trigger nicely,… polishing it up etc and I bet it would be a lot better after that. BUT! Would it be worth it just to get a Geissele trigger instead!!! I head they are THAT great. I was thinking about getting the SSA-E. What do you guys think? I know some guys that like the stock trigger because it’s safer. I know guy how like the Geissele because its just a better trigger. So what do you guy think?
Modifying the existing parts is just asking for trouble. There’s hacks that many of the Arftards send their parts to for the job… and get double fires a few months down the road. I think you’d really need to re-surface harden and refinish the parts to make it right.
The Geissele triggers are friggin nice. I personally am fine with the GI trigger, but we put 3 Geisseles into a guy’s guns and they were pretty sweet.
I don’t know which two models he selected though.
You won’t go wrong with a Geissele trigger. I am probably the worlds second worst shot, right behind my dog, and found that the change to a Geissele SSA tightened my typical 3.0"-4.0"" group at 100 yards to about 1.5"-2.0" with no other changes, modifications or practice. The difference in feel between SSA and stock triggers was quite pronounced, a measurable improvement. Is it robust enough for tactical use? I can’t answer to this but so far I have had no reliability issues what so ever.
They are a very fast trigger. I forget the exact time savings, but they are remarkable. The downside is they are pricey.
The are well worth the price due to quality and durability. I recommend the SSA-E and the SD-E (flat trigger).
How is the stock trigger safer? Geisseles are being used in military guns like the Mk12 with the DMR trigger, and the SSF trigger is being used in SOPMOD guns now.
They are a great improvement over most stock triggers. The issue with stock triggers is they are not consistent in feel or pull weight. Some are literally 10lbs with lots of grit and others feel pretty crisp around 6lbs. You never know what you are going to get…like Forest Gump with some chocolates.
Never modify a trigger…and Mark is right about that. I’ve read numerous accounts of people sending their triggers off to get back non working dangerous triggers that like to cause the gun to spit multiple rounds down range at a time.
Ok. I originally planned on getting one but thought maybe not!!! Teh stock isnt that bad but,… its not perfect. everyone says the same thing about the geissele’s so i think I’ll add one to the list. I think it will be either the SSA or the SSA-E for me.
I would get the SSA (or Super Dynamic Combat) for general purpose use. Only the SSA-E (or Super Dynamic Enhanced) for a precision oriented rig. Super Dynamic 3 gun for a super fast trigger that feels more like a single stage.
The Super Dynamic triggers have a flat trigger face instead of curved, and I think it makes for a better finger to trigger interface than the traditional curved triggers.
I have a Geissele Super Semi-Automatic (SSA) on one of my AR’s and plan to put another in my next build.
I love that trigger!
Definitely one of the very best in breed, and one that is reliable, rugged and dependable for hard use and high round counts. I have used them for several 500-1,000 round a day classes and demos without failure. The only one we will carry on our site.
MidwayUSA still has the SD-C on sale for $170 if you’re interested in that model at all. It’s the one I put in the rifle I’m building, but since the rifle isn’t finished yet I haven’t had a chance to try it out.
Big +1 recommendation on this trigger. I have not gotten around 1000 rounds on mine now and it really is fantastic. One of my other rifles has one of the best stock triggers in it that I have ever used…but after getting used to the SD-C, it feels pretty poor! And as mentioned above, I also think the flat faced trigger design is excellent and really works well.
Darn it with Midway extending that deal…I may end up with another one…
I have an SSA and a SSF. It really hurts to pay that price for a trigger (or two in my case), but it’s money you’ll never regret spending once you’ve done it.
I have the SD-C in one build and should have another arriving today. They are some of the best triggers I’ve had.
The first stage is smooth and the second stage reminds me of a good 1911 trigger.
You won’t regret getting one.
Awesome. Ill check out the SD-C and see what that about. So either the SSA or the SD-C. Thanks guys.
On the Geissele site look for the Trigger Summary Sheet. On it you’ll see the SSA has a “Crane NSWC Safety Certification”, the SSA-E does not, nor does the SD-C. I just bought an SSA-E for a precision gun, and and am going to replace the “B.S.” trigger job on the stock trigger on my carbine with an SSA when funds allow.

Great trigger, but do YOU need it. How much experience and training do you have with the stock trigger?
It is one thing for someone who is experienced to upgrade their trigger, but it may not be a good idea for a novice. Becoming proficient with the stock trigger will give you confidence if you ever have to use anything besides a match one.
Your fundamentals will be stronger if you start off with a stock trigger.
I shot the sd 3gun on a friends gun and fell in love. Pinching my pennies now so i can get one.
Great triggers and service. Bill’s triggers are not cheap, but then neither are other triggers in the same league 
They suck worse than sabre-toothed whores!
April fools… :suicide2:
