Anyone have or have used both?
I am going to buy one of these two triggers, but I just can’t decide which. I have searched high and low and have not been able to find a head to head comparison.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Geissele vs anything is always Geissele.

I use and prefer the Wilson TTU Paul Howe version to any other trigger out there on my all around AR15 fighting rifles, but the Geissele SSP or Larue triggers are a better value.
The how is $180 and the ssa-e is 180-240 depending on sales.

It looks like Wilson lowered the price quite a bit on their triggers from when I got mine many years ago. I think I paid around $250. for mine. ![]()
At least you like it. I have a hudson h9 that has dropped nearly $600 in value

I have quite a few Geissele triggers, including the SSP. I also have the TTU single stage and M2. I really like all of the above, it comes down to a lot of personal preference. The single stage TTU is very smooth with a clean break and fast rest. If you have a chance to visit Brownells retail store in Grinell, Iowa–they have a trigger display where you can walk up and pull almost every trigger they sell and compare.
I never used a Geissele SSP Trigger but we do have 5 Super 3 Gun (S3G) Geissele Triggers installed into our family of ARs. They all work Great.
I’ve had a TTU for years, then I had a Hiperfire 3 gun single stage, both are superb triggers. The Hiperfire has way too many parts, so it got replaced with an SSP. My first reaction was “why did I spend more to get the same trigger?” Don’t buy into the hype.
So, Duffy, you think the TTU is the way to go?
Remember that the ssa-e is the industry standard for a reason.

You’ll be well served by an ATC, Hiperfire (not the one with extra springs, rods and clips) and Wilson, let’s not forget the old and established makers like JP, KAC, etc. that seem to have yielded to the new comers, but are very much as viable as ever. I’m not voting against SSP.
SSP is a good trigger, it’s in my test gun, I like it well enough, but is it worth the asking price? I got it with dealer discount, which doesn’t amount to much, G undercuts dealer all the time. If Mark can sell his wire EDM MBT at $87 and still makes a profit, how much margin are you paying for a cast trigger at $240? These triggers are not priced reasonably, but based on what people are willing to pay.
Not sure about any G trigger as the industry standard, there’s entirely too much fanboyism and hype surrounding some companies. Remember the old saying “If LaRue is an option, LaRue is the option”, how many people still say that? Fans are a fickle bunch, loyalties may change as often and swift as the winds.
Opinions are extremely subjective and like Duffy said, fanboyism runs rampant. I’m not saying you are, but the industry says different when it comes to available options. I have a significant number of G triggers, including an SSP, but I will more than likely never buy anything from G in the future, especially with the MBT being as close as it is and at a far better value, as well as the way that they are handling the issue with the URG-I kits for DOD.
Fanboyism is not helpful to the users that might not know better but believe what many are raving about, it also has an adverse effect if the company starts to believe in the fan fueled hype, and thinks everything it does is automatically the best.
The real losers are the users.
I own about 80 rifles with every trigger that you can think of. No fanboy here.

I didn’t say you were, and didn’t think you were. If I did, I still wouldn’t have accused you of it ![]()
80 rifles! Wow! The only thing I have 80 of is dollars…lol.
Those are rookie numbers. Get a wife and you will have $8

I got one, and things have definitely eased up on the gun buying.
Yikes. My wife says “its your money, buy whatever you want”
