Most Helpful Positive Review Great customer service.
Shortly after I left my first review of this trigger stern contacted me wanting to fix the issue and they replaced the broken trigger. I told them once I put 1000 rounds through it I would update my review. Well with the current ammo shortage I haven’t been able to uphold my end but so far the trigg...

Most Helpful Negative Review Should be named 3 stage trigger
3rd stage is when it breaks with less than 150 rounds of standard 55 grain 5.56. Pretty disappointed in this product after seeing all of the reviews. While it worked, trigger had a very clean first pull, and a great second pull. Tried it with original spring first trip to range, and went to green sp...

Nice upgrade

by Rahsaun C, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on July 4, 2025
Installed on Armalite AR10 18in. This is my first performance oriented customization I've ever completed. The original trigger had to go, because I don’t like curved triggers. The directions were great, but I had to find videos on the Tube to change out the PCC spring. Everything seems solid, so all thats left is to hit the range.

Solid Product

by sphenodon, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on March 17, 2025
I have this installed on my GHM9, in a Lingle Scorpion-magazine lower, along with a radian safety selector. This trigger causes no issues with any of those parts. The trigger shape itself is very comfortable for me to use, and the trigger itself is crisp, works as advertised, and was easy to install.

I wouldnt say it was a major improvement over the OEM GHM9 trigger, but it is an improvement nonetheless.
Pros:
  • Easy to install
  • Crisp break
  • short 1st stage
Cons:
  • somewhat expensive for a fairly minor improvement
Best Used for:
  • a PCC that currently has a terriblr mil-spec trigger
Would recommend: Yes

works well

by Kevin, Verified Owner from MN, United States Written on September 8, 2022
Dropped into a bashee 45. Has a good feel and solid wall for the second stage. Dropped in like any other cassette style trigger. It does have a little play after install as it has nothing to tighten up to the lower. Could maybe put something under it if it bothers someone that much. I don't find it to bothersome, and only noticed it when testing it not during shooting it.

Fun time finger exerciser.

by Toad, from IA, United States Written on June 10, 2022
Mainly use this with a Foxtrot Mike PCC. Have 300 rds of 9mm on this trigger, and 150 of 5.56. No light strikes or other issues. I have always changed to the green "disconnector"(? Not sure if that's what it actually is)" spring for 5.56. A friend had one break after ~80 9mm rounds, but the replacement he received has ran as smooth as a lady of the night with a lifetime supply of astroglide. Crisp
Pros:
  • Versatile
  • Crisp
  • clean
  • She's a beaut
Cons:
  • Wouldn't mind stability set screws like the JMT Sabre
  • Have heard of, and personally know someone experience one breaking, but have not had that issue myself.
Best Used for:
  • 9mm Blowback PCC's
  • Finger endurance exercises.
Would recommend: Yes

Excellent 2 stage Trigger!

by Matthew D, from MI, United States Written on April 8, 2022
I've had plenty of experience of 2 stage triggers in custom rifles, however this was the first drop in trigger I placed myself. It was extremely easy to swap out the triggers in about an hours time.

Little to no creep, and a crisp break on the 2nd stage. I would highly recommend.

I placed it on my Deer rifle and took two doe on the last day of Late doe season within 5 minutes of each other.
When the recall came in, they were extremely easy to work with and I'm expecting the refurbished trigger to come in any day. Excellent customer service and I will definitely buy from them again.

awesome customer service and trigger

by namesarentimportant, from KS, United States Written on August 7, 2021
I bought this trigger a little over a year ago for my (feb 2020).300blk build. The first one i got broke on the first mag, after talking to the company and explaining what happen i sent them the broken trigger and quickly got a new one and as simple as it is to swap the springs it actually said alot to me that they took the time to put the light spring in my new trigger before sending it out to me. Sometimes its the small details that really count. All and all this new trigger has been amazing the last year especially for the price i dumped 400+ rounds through it in one afternoon and after i got the new trigger in with no problems. Im not going to do the math but for those who care i average 200 to 300 rounds pre shortage every weekend ive cut that down to monthly at this point. With no issues what so ever.also after talking with stern they told me the reason for the first trigger breaking was a slight design flaw on an older gen trigger that they have since fixed they obviously sent me the updated version

Sweet Trigger

by Cody Carlson, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on May 9, 2021
Just installed my 80% lower, I haven't fired it, but it's nice, I don't know what else to see. Light pull and the two stage is great. Now I'm just continuing to ramble to get to the two hundred character limit for a review.
