Reviews & Ratings for OpticsPlanet Exclusive CMC Triggers AR-15/AR-10 Single Stage Drop-In Trigger — 15 reviews — Page 1

This trigger is an easy drop in install on just about any AR platform. Takes about 5 minutes after you find the right screwdriver. Works great, crisp 3.5# break VERY little creep. Timmy is still my go to BUT this is a close second. I will use it again.

I prefer 2 stage triggers and wish the would release this trigger in a 2 stage. Otherwise I freaking love this trigger. The shoe is thick and sturdy, the break is clean and the reset is short and positive. I have this on an m&p15-22 and it’s so much fun.

Upgrading my AR-10 and installed this trigger. Clean break at just over 3.5 Lbs, no creep and fast reset. Just what I was looking for.

I’m still not sure if I like these. The trigger pull is crisp and clean, and they worked great for the first 2-300 rounds. My last range trip the CCT and my flat face single stage both would not reset. It would fire and chamber a new round but then would not reset fully like it was caught up. It did eventually run semi consistently but I haven’t been back to try again, although I have been looking at other triggers lol.

I bought 2 of these CMC 3.5 exclusive triggers so my AR15 and AR10 would have same trigger pull. AR 15 worked flawlessly out of the box. I had an issue with the one on the AR10 not resetting. Actually couldn't figure it out at first as gun was cycling fine. i ended up playing with both at the same time and could see the AR10 wasn't resetting I would have to push the trigger forward to reset. I did a hair of filing on it and it works perfectly now. Not going to knock the rating down as I love the feel of this trigger.

Purchased the CMC trigger to replace the generic tactical trigger in my Spikes Tactical lower. The trigger installed very easily. I shot at an indoor range using Federal BallistiClean 223 Remington Ammo 55 Grain Frangible RHT. The trigger was smooth and reliable during both slow and rapid fire shooting. I did not experience any issues.

First of all I was not the guy to ever think id want or need a trigger other then a stock mil spec. After this purchase ill be putting this on all my builds. To start the fit and finish on the trigger is outstanding. Nothing is better then taking the old trigger out and it falling into three pieces then putting this beauty in that stays in one tight pieces. On the range this thing is crispier then your mothers sunday morning bacon. You’ll realize how gritty your stock trigger was when you shoot with this one. Its near impossible to get a bad trigger squeeze since the break is so clean and fast. Another big thing i liked about this trigger is its not simply a thin piece of metal a lot of other pricey triggers look like. This trigger has some meat to it and still has a curve to it but less then a mil spec trigger so it wont feel to weird transitioning to this trigger but it might feel weird if going from a mil spec trigger to a flat faced one. You’re also getting anti roll pins which can be costly buying separately. Bottom line this is a safe bet if wanting a solid trigger but not going to a crazy competition trigger. Get this trigger for that combat look!

This Trigger definitely looks cool! And it functions great! It has a great feel in its action. It fits in perfectly with the other parts inside the lower receiver, so it follows Mil-Spec requirements. The Cassette Case does not impeed on the parts either.

I love CMC and this is my 3rd trigger from them. Good smooth trigger and I bought the optics planet exclusive and that finish looks awesome! Definitely makes my gun stand out and adds functionality to it!

CMC has done it again with another simple yet effective drop in solution for the agony that is a mil spec trigger. Crisp single stage and positive reset. My only critique is I wish CMC would offer less of a forward angle on their trigger shoes. It is easy to run out of trigger guard real estate when you employ a battery assist device from Magpul or Phase V. Still it’s a predictable break every time and install is a breeze. Try it and you will never go back to stock triggers or even the crappy enhanced mil spec which is still trash.
