AR-15/M16 TACTICAL TRIGGER UNIT Reviews & Ratings

Drop-in trigger module fits any mil-spec small-pin AR-15 and delivers a light, superbly crisp trigger pull right from the box, with no adjustment or fine-tuning. Crisp, 4-lb. pull is safe enough for tactical operations and combat, yet light enough to ensure an ultra-clean break that’s closer to a bolt action than a typical tactical rifle. Exceptionally short, positive reset gets you back on target and ready to take the next shot almost instantly. Unique hammer geometry keeps weight to a minimum for ultra-fast lock time, yet provides plenty of kick to ensure reliable ignition, even on hard military primers. A secondary “rescue” sear grabs the hammer if the primary sear fails when the weapon is dropped or severely jarred—meets military specifications for drop safety. CNC-machined, hardened tool steel hammer, sear, and trigger body with precision-ground contact surfaces are built to run hard in competition or combat, all contained in the rugged machined aluminum housing. TR-TTU - Single-stage pull has zero take-up and an ultra-clean break. TR-TTU-M2 - “Semi” two-stage, match-grade trigger has an abbreviated initial stage that establishes sear engagement for safe, reliable operation in high-stress tactical environments, followed by a clean second-stage release. TR-TTU-3G- Wilson Combat engineers have enhanced the TTU-3G trigger with a smooth, rolling, creep-free 3.5-4# break that is ideal for shooting rapid double-taps on the move from your high-performance AR-15. The 3.5# - 4# pound pull breaks with the extreme smoothness of finely tuned target-pistol trigger and has tactile feedback that gives a shooter the confidence to prep the trigger face during quick target transitions. The TTU-3G also has an enhanced, lightning-fast trigger reset that will make fast follow up shots a breeze and eliminate "trigger freeze" during the heat of competition or tactical shooting.

SPECS: Trigger/Hammer/Sear – Hardened tool steel, matte gray finish. Housing – Aluminum, anodized, matte black. Fits AR-15 with .154” trigger and hammer pins. Includes two .154” pins and installation instructions.

Wilson Combat TR TTU M2

Great 2 stage trigger!! Feels like a 2 stage trigger on an expensive bolt gun. Crisp candy cane break and a very quick reset. Double taps are almost too easy. Install was straight forward and easy on a CMMG MK GS 9mm pistol. May not work on some pistols without an AR style bolt group. Wilson makes a trigger for that. I will be purchasing more of these triggers.

Quite possibly the perfect AR trigger!

I bought this trigger for 4 reasons: 1. It doesn't use set screws to provide tension to the unit. I installed mine into a carbon fiber receiver and couldn't allow set screws to chew up the carbon fiber. The Wilson trigger uses stout little springs (which is what makes the pin holes a bit tricky to line up during installation). Once in, the unit is solid. 2. It doesn't require anti-walk pins to hold it in. Standard mil-spec pins are retained perfectly and punch in and out like normal. 3. It looks like a standard trigger. Just because I don't want a flat trigger or one with lightning holes drilled in it doesn't mean I want a trigger that looks like it was punched out of a piece of scrap flat steel. This trigger looks like it belongs in the gun. 4. I wanted a single stage trigger with no slop. This trigger has zero take-up and breaks dead on 4 pounds every time. I love it! I want to get another for my .308 build!

Light, single-stage trigger; fast

Wilson 3G trigger intended for M16 style receivers. Very easy installation into S&W M&P15-22 (12722)! Remove two pins and old trigger parts. Slip G3's tail under selector and line-up holes. Push in included two new pins. Nothing else. New pins are held in place by trigger assembly. Essentially a single stage trigger with a very short reset distance (big click). Measured to require close to 3.25 pounds of force when installed. To be used in Rimfire Steel Challenge (with five, expensive 10 round magazines). Worth the extra cost.

Simply the finest trigger out there!

WAS a big Ge...... fan until they flip flopped on their warranty using their triggers in the Sig MCX/MPX(all over the forums). Youtube is full of Ge....... videos but not many for the Wilson. The break of this trigger is absolutely unbelievable. The build quality is impeccable as well. Worth every penny. Try one and you will want to replace all your triggers with this one!

As Good as a Geissele :)

Had mine installed 5 months ago and This Is 1 of my favorite short resetting triggers w/ a pull weight around 3.5 lbs, its Is a Very controllable trigger compared to the Geissele Super 3 Gun which always gave me an uneasy feeling I might bump fire it! I have used this trigger for bench and even semi long range shots and I am Always Still Able to control the trigger and in Rapid Fire this trigger Kicks Butt! Only trigger that Might be better is the New Rapid Fire trigger by Geissele which Im buying for my next AR!!!

Outstanding

Have this trigger in my Colt LE6920 and used it for a recent .308 AR build. Short smooth takeup, super light and crisp break. It's fantastic to shoot with and is probably the best trigger I've ever tried. Install is as easy as it gets.

Crisp break free trigger.

After seeing some of the reviews I really put this trigger though some rough use. I went through smooth, slow firing to jerky, as fast as I could pull, bump firing, and then back to slow firing. I tried to get this trigger to misfire to include violent slam fire and could not get it to misfire at all. Always positive lock and fire.

Hands Down, the best by far I've tried

Switched all my Timney triggers with this. Not to brag but I was able to perform 15 shots in 2.11 sec. Soft and Crisp. I wish they would trim down the trigger a little bit. I'd like the trigger lever width to be in-between the one it has now and the AR Gold Trigger. But still, super excellent trigger.

Super Crisp and Consistent AR Trigger

This is by far the best AR trigger I've ever used. I've installed many AR15 stock mil-spec triggers, from Lower Parts kits; DMPS, Rock River Arms, Bushmaster, etc.. This installs very easily and is worlds different from what any stock trigger can do, even if it were polished up and re-springed. Wilson Combat has a reputation for quality, and this part is no different. It works as advertised, and I just bought my second unit this morning for another AR15 Build. I have three AR15's and wish I had my third with this unit. They are pricey. But if you are on the fence about it. You will NOT be disappointed once this is installed.

Sweeeeeeet Trigger

Breaks clean,crisp. Big improvement from standard Bushmaster trigger. Installed literally in minutes, tests as per instructions flawless. Positive primer strike. Wilson has always made top quality parts and the price...well worth it.
