I use an SD-E on my primary training/range rifle. I don’t feel it is unsafe for HD or LE work. Granted, I would be concerned if someone fairly inexperienced was in a situation where they just grabbed a rifle and were expecting a GI pull.
ETA - no unwanted doubles for me. Additional ETA: I don’t want to come across as saying that I think the SD-E would be suitable for general issue on a patrol rifle. I think it would be suitable for LE use in the SPM/R role.
I haven’t seen anyplace on the website or in the brochure or instructions where Geissele suggests the trigger be used only for competition or hunting.
The Super Dynamic Triggers are rugged, non-adjustable combat triggers with a sear design that provides a wide margin of safety against unintentional discharges yet still gives the operator a sharp,
repeatable trigger release. The exclusive, flat trigger bow, patterned after the trigger of an M1911 pistol, reduces the perceived pull weight of the triggers and gives outstanding tactile feedback and trigger control.
The SD Trigger will lighten the trigger pull relative to a standard trigger. This lightened trigger pull will make the firearm easier to discharge. You must recognize and accept this fact before installing this trigger. If you do not want a lighter than standard trigger pull or are not willing to accept responsibility for the safety of your firearm, yourself, and those around you, do not install this trigger.
I don’t see any of this as saying the trigger is a competition only trigger, not safe for duty or HD.
" The SD-E is ideal for use in precision Squad Designated Marksman type rifles
where weapon accuracy and reliability are critical and a
non-adjustable drop in trigger is desired" Also quoted from the G site. Look at Bill’s trigger selector. See what’s recommended for GP and LE use… It won’t be the “E” triggers. You will find them recommended for precision and target shooting. I’ll stand by my statement… An E trigger is a waste of trigger for a 6920. It doesn’t matter what you or I shoot. I shot 11 ounce triggers on my IPSC open pistols for years but I wouldn’t recommend that for a new guy shooting a bone stock 1911.
I pulled a SSA-E from a rifle that I gave to my dad. I put a Centurion stock trigger in his and put the SSA-E in a Sionics upper mated to a Colt lower for my Fiance. So is it lost on a 6920? That depends on the shooter and probably but we can over simplify things too. any G trigger is awesome.
Ditto on the ALG ACT. Made by Gisselle it’s basically milspec and 5 lb break, no grit pull, crisp clean glass break. I sold my SSA to a buddy and put these in my ar15 and ar10 with $$ left for more ammo. I don’t do competitive shooting, but do hunt with these.
Replaced my SSA-E springs with SSA springs after contacting Geissele to make sure that was all that was needed. Works like a champ, now it is more general use.
I have 3 SSA’s, 2 SSA-E’s on precision type rifles. I prefer the SSA as a general purpose trigger. When I was shooting 5,000 rounds a year I felt comfortable with SSA-E’s and even used them at a couple of EAG classes without incident. Now that my numbers has decreased I feel much better with SSA’s as general purpose triggers.
I run an SD-E in my precision rig and it’s very light. For me it’s as light as I would ever want to go.
My G2S is in another rifle that has a red dot and it seems to provide just enough extra that it feels more…controlable…i guess.
My HD RIFLE now currently runs a sionics trigger group and it is heavier then the other two, and a single stage, I find it very workable and for general use I love it.
That all being said for GP 6920 the SSA or something similar (SD-C) would be my choice.
