AR-15 EDT® SERIES TRIGGER ASSEMBLIES Reviews & Ratings

Hiperfire’s EDT triggers give your AR-15 an upgraded single-stage trigger pull without sacrificing "mil-spec" reliability. All four Enhanced Duty Triggers deliver a medium pull weight of 4.5 or 5.5 lbs. - lighter than a plain G.I. trigger for sure, but safe enough for law enforcement, service rifle competition, and personal defense use. Mechanical advantage built into the EDT trigger geometry gives the lighter-than-mil-spec pull weight, while mil-spec hammer energy is preserved to ensure hard, positive primer strikes. Hiperfire coupled the lighter weight with an overall pull profile that is smooth and consistent, with a clean, decisive break, short over-travel, and a fast reset you can feel and hear, making the EDT a very comfortable "shooter’s" trigger.

2 interchangeable hammer springs for 4.5 or 5.5 lb. pull weight

Extra-power hammer spring for positive hammer strikes without increasing pull weight

Fits small-pin (.153") AR-15 lower receivers & AR 308 rifles that use AR-15 triggers

Hiperfire offers the EDT trigger in four configurations: Sharp Shooter is the base-model with features listed above and a curved trigger shoe. Heavy Gunner has the curved shoe and even heavier SwingFast hammer than the Sharp Shooter for ultra-reliable hammer strikes. The Designated Marksman has Hiperfire's Duplex Trigger Bow. Place your finger in a high position for a heavier pull and an extra measure of safety to prevent premature discharge under stress. Low position for precise, target-rifle control. Also has extra-weight Swingfast hammer. Enhanced Duty model is beefed up for full-auto select-fire AR-15 / M16 / M4 type rifles carbines; curved shoe. Hiperfire made the EDT trigger line all about choice: you get to choose the type of trigger pull profile that works best for you - without breaking the bank to do it.

Sendig it back

I do not like this trigger. The BCG hung up and the rifle would not function. I'm sending it back to Brownells for a full refund.

Very Disappointing

I was very disappointed in this trigger. After installation in a new receiver it is almost exactly like a standard trigger. It is gritty and lots of creep. Mine installed at: 6lb 1oz with the 4-1/2# spring. I can get that with a little work on a stock trigger group. For the price there are definitely better options. They have redesigned the sear/hammer geometry. They claim it's better, I think it's just different. They also claim with this particular trigger you can get "different" pull weights by finger placement, that might be true if you have very small fingers or you don't use a trigger guard.
