SSA-E SUPER SEM-AUTOMATIC ENHANCED 2-STAGE TRIGGER FOR AR-15

SSA-E SUPER SEM-AUTOMATIC ENHANCED 2-STAGE TRIGGER FOR AR-15 Reviews & Ratings

GEISSELE SSA-E SUPER SEM-AUTOMATIC ENHANCED 2-STAGE TRIGGER FOR AR-15


Built on the chassis of the Geissele SSA®, the Super Semi-Automatic Enhanced (SSA-E®) provides enhanced trigger control and weapon accuracy while maintaining the robustness and reliability of Geissele’s combat-proven two-stage trigger. The SSA-E® with it's reduced first and second stage pull weights result in a trigger with a smooth, light first stage take-up and a crisp, candy cane-like second stage break. The SSA-E® is ideal for use in precision Squad Designated Marksman type rifles where weapon accuracy and reliability are critical and a non-adjustable drop in trigger is desired.


The Geissele Super Semi-Automatic Enhanced (SSA-E®) Trigger is a finely-tuned semi-automatic-only version of Geissele’s full-auto, two stage combat trigger presently used in the U.S. Special Operations Community.

Amazing Trigger
This trigger is an enormous improvement from the mil-spec trigger in my BCM MK2. It makes my rifle even more fun to use. Install was very easy as there are some good videos on YouTube. I’ll be putting this trigger in my other rifle as well.

Sweet
The Geissele trigger is just what I was hoping for. Like a 2-statge pistol trigger, you gently press, hit the wall and then send it. Once at the wall, you almost don't feel the press. It is very smooth and worth the money.

I like Geiselle's
I've used and installed quite a few various triggers for AR's. The Geiselle trigger isn't as easy to install as one of the self contained drop in triggers, but when I build a AR for myself, I choose Geiselle.
