Most Helpful Positive Review Match grade but room for improvement.
I won’t disagree with all the positive comments. It’s a great trigger. Right out of the box I had a lot of gritty stacking in the trigger pull. It was so rough you could actually hear it while slowly pulling the trigger. I found the “gold” coating on the adjustable trigger weight spring plunger to ...

Most Helpful Negative Review Not for LE/Mil or combat of any kind
I'm surprised at all the positive reviews for this trigger. For sitting at a bench shooting precision for sport, this trigger would be fine. I can't speak to how it stacks against the competition in this regard, as I don't do that kind of shooting often. For any kind of home defense, truck gun, zomb...

Clean Breaking Trigger

by Coach, from TN, United States Written on September 22, 2025
If you like a two-stage trigger, check it out…if not, I would pass. It’s not technically a two-stage, but there is some loose take up on the front end. The break is as clean as you would want. No creep. Short reset. Thin shoe. Solid option.
Pros:
  • Zero Creep
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Utility
Would recommend: Yes

Nice break, weak reset

by Ryan, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on December 8, 2023
The trigger was very easy to install, and it came with two pins to make the install seamless.

PROS:
-nice break
-gold

CONS:
-trigger doesn't feel solid, the creep and side to side movement of the trigger doesn't inspire confidence
-the reset is weak. You miss it if you don't think about it. I would forgive the amount of creep and wobbliness if the reset was more "positive", but unfortunately that's not the case.
Pros:
  • Nice break
  • gold color
Cons:
  • weak reset
  • doesn't feel solid
Best Used for:
  • upgrading the AR platform
Would recommend: Yes

Ar10 gold flat trigger

by 95V Customs, Verified Owner from MD, United States Written on November 1, 2023
Great trigger. Smooth pull. Clean break. Short reset. The Ar-10 one was necessary with my rifle. I tried the Ar-15 one and the trigger would not reset if I held the trigger to rear. The Ar-10 version hammer is around 0.02” taller so it will reset when trigger is held to rear.

Excellent trigger

by murc, from SD, United States Written on January 31, 2023
Very nice trigger, super crisp break, measured the break at 3.25 pounds. very smooth. My only Con, is that I was expecting a shinier gold, gold plated, it's not, its a dull gold color...so I was a little bummed, pictures on the interwebs (on some sites) were shinier...but picture quality can be fickle.
All in all, it's a good buy.

awesome Trigger

by kurisu, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on December 16, 2020
This is in my opinion the best ar trigger for AR builds. Fit and finish is 10/10. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in this. Super crisp and fast to shoot. Optic’s planet always has the best prices and items in stock

Failure to Fire ect

by Phil, from NJ, United States Written on November 24, 2020
Had issues with this trigger, tried to work with the manufacturer directly with it, ultimately they never responded to me and left me with a paperweight that I don't feel comfortable selling to anyone, Replaced with another company's trigger and had no issues sense.

AR 10 Magic

by SMS, from LA, United States Written on August 16, 2020
Installed in a DPMS AR10. easy to install took a few minutes. fired a variety of ammo, wolf Hard primer trash, German, Lithuania , African Mill surplus, and quality Hornady Match, Rem, Lake city ammo. All fired perfectly !!!!. Trigger broke in around 30 rds, at which point it was like butter smooth. perfect for precision, I can see this being too light for combat use unless your always on and off the safety while moving, its 3LBS where 4.5-5 lbs is better in that application for AR type. But lets be real, your probably not using full auto so this is fine. I prefer the 3-3.5 LBS in a 7.62x51 long range rifle. I hated the factory trigger. This trigger alone took groups into a sub 1" range from the 2-3" (100yrd)best I could get before. If you want accurate, fast, and a reliable trigger that will fire anything with that perfect snap this is the one.
Pros:
  • Butter smooth
  • fires hard primers
  • Lighthing fast reset
Cons:
  • Could be hard to clear a loose primer
Best Used for:
  • Precise administration of freedom
Would recommend: Yes

Best Trigger I’ve Owned

by Alex, from AL, United States Written on December 21, 2019
I really enjoyed this product. I’ve tried a few including the Geissele SSA-E and they’re both good, but this one still wins out. Perfect break & reset. It took a while for the order to be shipped, but it was worth the wait.

Best Trigger Ever!

by Dex, from TX, United States Written on March 6, 2019
I highly recommend the AR Gold AR-15 drop in trigger system for all AR platform weapons if you are looking to upgrade your trigger. The ease of installation coupled with the very crisp trigger pull and short reset makes this the ideal trigger for either the weekend plinker or seasoned marksman. I guarntee you will not be disappointed!!
Pros:
  • Easy of install
  • Short reset
  • Crisp trigger pull
Cons:
  • cost
Best Used for:
  • hunting
  • marksmanship shooting
Would recommend: Yes
