Reviews & Ratings for Elftmann Tactical Elftmann Match Trigger — 54 reviews — Page 1

First off it looks so cool, but after installing I'd say it has almost as much creep as a milspec teigger, not a ton but a degree or two, enough to notice, my last trigger was a velocity 3lb single stage and it was alot more predictable and crisp.

I've heard people say the company claims the set screw will not back out or fall out, if that is true, it's a lie since the said screw will very easily come all the way out, there's no clicks to signify your adjustments, and there's nothing holding the screw in from vibrating out, if you tighten it too much it will lock the trigger up.

I have a wheeler trigger pull weight gauge, and when I take the set screw out it should be 2.75lb pull, well without 10 pulls i got between 3.25-4lb pull, I'm not sure if the trigger breaks in after a while, but it was much harder than it should to pull, and inconsistent.

Other than the really cool looks, I'm just not thrilled with this trigger, my last drop in single stage trigger I mentioned before I was always able to predict when it was going to fire, I had a bit of trouble doing that with this elftmann. Not a fan.

Put this in a DDM4ISR as I have a friend that loves his Elftmann triggers and it fails to reset on 3-5 rounds out of every 30. Sometimes I have to wiggle the trigger left to right and I'll hear the reset click so I can fire it, but this isn't a failure to let off the trigger, I'm moving it from side to side for it to reset, not forward and back, that's not normal. Most of the time, however, I have to rack a round and watch a perfectly useable round hit the floor in order to get it to reset. This is worse for subsonic ammo (I've tried several manufacturers), but I can barely get through a mag of supersonics on this trigger without an issue.

It sucks when you're range shooting, it's dangerous for life saving applications, and it would be terrible at competition shooting.

Bought the straight version. Excellent trigger for the price and even a contender with the Geisselles I normally use. Simple, adjustable pull weight was an interesting feature that to me was the main selling point. Very easy to install since it's a drop-in, just remove the old trigger and take off the pistol grip.

The trigger I received did not adjust to 2.75 lbs, it was gritty feeling and if I loosened the adjustment screw far enough to get to 2.75lbs it failed to function. It took about twenty minutes with a 200 grit file and some oil to work the gritty healing out and it did lighten the pull. For $250+ I would expect the mating surfaces to come polished. Trigger does have very little over travel, no creep and minimal reset. This is the only reason I kept it and polished the surfaces.

I’m running this in a DB9R. It was extremely easy to drop in and worked without any mark or hiccups. Will update the review once I run a few rounds through. The lack of literature about the product was kind of annoying. Basically a trigger in a bag with no instructions but YouTube helped. Had to move some spring ends out of the way in order to get to the Alan keys no big deal. Fit snug as a bug.

Nice adjustable trigger. No creep , almost undetectable overtravel.Great price at opticesplanet.Easy install takes 5 minutes. Note that the spring visible on left side of adjustment screw stays in place to hold screw setting.

I have purchased 5 of these triggers. Performance is incredible. No trigger creep. Like breaking glass. Crisp. Easy to install. Wouldn't buy anything else. Best AR trigger on market. Normally dont promote products, but this worth it.

Trigger was gritty and jumped before breaking. Sent it back and got it repaired. Rather than breaking like glass like a cmc or nice bolt gun it requires some travel almost like the geometry requires it to push the hammer back some.

Despite all my hopes for this trigger, I ended up with one that doesn't work at all. It came locked all the way back making the trigger inoperable, when I managed to free it by pushing down on the hook that catches the hammer I pulled the trigger once and held my finger back and cocked it so I could see what the reset was like. There was none the hammer stays free when you hold back the trigger. If I click it again with my finger off the trigger the hammer will lock back and make the trigger inoperable. I wish I could've seen what it was supposed to be like.

Very easy to install, hardest part was taking the pistol grip off and not to lose the tiny spring during the removal if not aware of it being there.
I tuned it to 2.5 lbs and its night and day easier to pull compared to my mil spec trigger.

Looks badass too ,which i think equates to how well you do while firing the gun.
