Most Helpful Positive Review Next Gen Sharpness
This trigger is amazing. It takes what little mush there is in very slowly breaking the original SSA Trigger and simply makes a crisp snap with no overtravel. The reset is better as well. I will add though, it feels like there is not the same amount of physical bow movement. Which if you use the take-up to avoid negligent discharges this will feel like there's less room for error. It splits the difference between a combat and precision trigger, leaning combat. So it's consistent and capable of accuracy but designed and shines best in less precise roles. Having tried it in a SDM rifle I prefer ...

solid all purpose trigger

by Chris, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on October 24, 2025
I own a few Geissele triggers but up until recently, you weren’t able to get the SSA-X Unless you bought the entire super duty gun. I always wanted to get one because of the lightning bow and it’s the best of both worlds between a curved and straight trigger. This two stage trigger has the perfect setting for each stage and breaks clean every time. It’s definitely worth the money and who lives up to the name.

Very crisp

by Dsdw30, Verified Owner from CO, United States Written on December 24, 2024
This trigger is the best! I own a couple Geissele triggers and this one is by far my favorite. The feel of the shape of the trigger is amazing. Very light pull. I opted for this over the enhanced. Which I am pleased I did. The pull is perfect. Not to light. Not stiff at all. Very high quality completion grade trigger. If you’re on the fence. Jump off and pick this up today. You’ll love it.
Pros:
  • Function
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • any

Geissele SD-C Trigger

by Chris Lee, Verified Owner from TN, United States Written on September 2, 2024
Such a nice clean break. Very easy install. Went with combat trigger for CQC and a nice predictable breaking trigger down range when shooting distance. Love it highly recommended especially if you get a deal like on Labor Day sale from optics planet

Geissele trigger is awesome

very easy to install with great performance

by Jake, Verified Owner from KS, United States Written on December 29, 2023
I just started getting into installing/building my own ar’s the first thing I needed to upgrade was a bad trigger that was in the gun before hand. So the name that kept coming up was Geissele. So after finding the profile I wanted and the right break or type of trigger I ordered it. When it came in I was a little worried due to being very new to working on my firearms. But I had the trigger put in and oiled in about 10 minutes, that was nice. I then took it out to shoot the same weekend and about 300 rounds later it is still running like a champ as I expected.
