Reviews & Ratings for Geissele SSA-E X w/ Lightning Bow Trigger
— 38 reviews — Page 1
You ever press a trigger so smooth it feels like the gun whispers "I got you" before sending freedom downrange? That’s the Geissele SSA-E X with the Lightning Bow Trigger.
The first stage is like the warm-up act at a rock concert—smooth, light, and just enough to get you excited. Then, BOOM, the se...

Don't get me wrong, it's a great trigger, but you can definitely get almost the same for less.
The Larue 2S and PSA's new sabre 2S are about 90-95% of what this trigger is. I can buy 3 sabre triggers for the price of this and be perfectly happy with the outcome.
Yes this does have a slight more cr...

One of the best triggers ever made. Short first stage take up defined second stage wall with an absolute clean and defined break. Couldn’t be more satisfied.

The only trigger I’ll run on my ARs. Break is unbelievably clean and the pull weight of the second stage is perfection. Not to mention how easy these are to install. 5-10 minutes tops.

This Trigger is Excellent!! I was worried it might be too light but it’s really just right. The 1st stage it just enough if you are use to MiLSpec. And as soon as you think to pull the Trigger it’s a done deal! I also have the SD-C which Great but this SSAE-X is a NAIL DRIVER!!

Pros:

Bit pricey but worth it

Received the trigger in a very timely manner, and at a very good price!! Immediately removed CMC trigger from AR and installed this one when I got home from work. Install was relatively easy and instructions were straightforward within the next couple of days. I took it to my range that stretches 400 yards to test it out. Noticed immediately that the new trigger was so much better and put my groups at well under one MOA at 100 yards. Will most definitely be purchasing a couple of more for my other rifles. I do highly recommend trigger to anyone experienced or inexperienced shooting. If you are inexperienced, be very careful because the .9 pound second stage is extremely like.

Just got my build done and fired off my first few rounds. Everything worked great! Trigger was easy to install, would be easier with smaller fingers�
