ltdmstr Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 The AR Diamond is the best thing going at the moment. I haven't tried mine in the PCC as it's in another rifle, but I have a standard TT in my PCC and it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avastcosmicarena Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 I threw it in my PCC, and it looks like my suspicions were correct. Them making the hammer taller to make it work with AR10s also makes it work with 9mm bolts. It's resetting just fine in my PCC with a JP 9mm bolt. Very happy with this trigger.

RAINY0DAYS Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Thought I'd throw up my impressions again now that I have a more meaningful amount of time behind it (roughly 5k). Turns out I will not be taking it out to go back to my ECL. The weak reset is no longer something I notice, I can shoot it as fast as anything and haven't experienced the trigger freeze I was worried about. The break, short travel, and very low pull weight really shine anytime you're shooting small targets and/or at distance which is more common than big hoser targets where I'm at. It's the kind of trigger that works with you, not against you; that's the best way I can put it. I don't notice or think about the trigger press at all with this when I'm on the clock. It just does what I want it to do. I can't say that about any other trigger I've tried, except maybe the ECL if you're talking about hoser/fast stuff.

adamge Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 How many rounds do you shoot of AR15 / 556 in a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAINY0DAYS Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 How many rounds do you shoot of AR15 / 556 in a year?Probably 7-10k of 223. Not as much as I used to now that I've gotten heavier into PCC. Sent from my moto x4 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avastcosmicarena Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) I've got 2 of these now (one in my PCC, one in my 3-gun style AR) and a 3rd on order. Love this trigger. The ONLY minor nitpick I could come up with about it is that I'd like if the bottom of the trigger face had some lines milled into, it instead of being smooth, for extra grip (like the Elftmann triggers). However, I ordered some 3M stair grip tape and stuck a piece on there, and that makes it perfect... makes finding the perfect spot for finger tip purchase quickly just a little bit easier. I also really like that they just have only one trigger design that functions in AR15s, AR10s, and 9mm ARs. They've designed it in a way where it should work with nearly all AR bolts.

avastcosmicarena Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 Finally bought a Lyman digital trigger pull gauge and tested this out. I actually thought my gauge was miscalibrated at first, but I tested it with some known weights and it was pretty much dead on, reading within about a gram of the same object weighed on a digital scale... After using it many times just to get a feel for proper technique, etc., I decided to try the average feature on the gauge, which reports the average of the last 10 pulls. My average came out to 388 g, which is 0.85 lb.... pretty epic! This is with following the directions that came with it, which say to use 3 clicks away from the set screw coming loose (the lightest it will go) to make sure it stays retained.

Blockader Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I couldn't resist buying this trigger a few weeks back when optics planet had a 15% off triggers code. It wasn't in stock so I didn't get it until today. The AR Diamond is quite impressive. Easy install, easy adjustment. I am running it as light as possible, of course. My splits with the Hiperfire Eclipse are consistently .15, the AR diamond ran at .14 for me today. I'm sure I can get that lower with more time on it, but honestly the the speed of the Eclipse was fine for me. The Diamond reset is not aggressive like the Eclipse, but gave me no problems. Its for sure more dependant on finger speed. For long range shots or shots that require some precision this thing is gonna be awesome. The trigger is amazingly clean, crisp, and light. I'll be using this trigger at a match this weekend and will report back if I have any issues. If the Diamond proves to have the reliability of Hiperfires, I definitely have a new favorite.

EA308 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I first started with TT in my prs rifle and quickly picked up an AR trigger when I was able to. I use geissele triggers at work and I much prefer the TT triggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToneEasy Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Running a TT Competition (non-adjustable, 3.5lb pull) trigger in my PCC. Absolutely love it, glad to hear others are enjoying their TTs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockader Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I used the Diamond in a match today. I Did have 2 instances of trigger freeze, both when I was shooting on the move. Some more time on it should cure that. There was no long range unfortunately, but overall I was pleased with The trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested in the TriggerTech Diamond for my backup PCC... or maybe my primary PCC if it's as good as you all claim. What kind of safety are you using with the TriggerTech Diamond?

It seems as though the TriggerTech Diamond is an improved version of the AR Gold triggers... I like that it has the two snug down bolts to keep the trigger tight in the lower receiver... The front pin rotates slightly on my AR Gold trigger... Not sure it would ever wear out, but it shows that the AR Gold trigger isn't really solidly mounted with only the two pins... The snug down bolts would help... Also like that the TT Diamond is designed to work with a 1.5 Lb trigger pull. How did you find out about the Optics Planet 15% trigger code?

I haven't accidentally fired it once. The little bit of 1911-style pre-travel helps, I guess. Edited August 17, 2019 by avastcosmicarena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally thought it was safety related... Tried several safeties and different PCCs... Finally sent it back to American Trigger.. They found it was a defective trigger and refunded my money... Bought a second trigger from OpticsPlanet and it has worked perfectly since I installed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snausages32 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I recently ordered one of these (went with the flat face), it arrived today, and I just finished installing it an hour ago. Through dry firing only, I'm very impressed so far. Huge upgrade from my Timney 3 pound competition trigger. I'll get to the range with it Saturday for an official testing, and then a match on Sunday. I'll update after I send some rounds with this thing.

What kind of rifle are you putting the TT Diamond trigger in? I put one in my PCC and adjusted the pull down to 1Lb 2oz... It felt great dry firing, but went into burst mode when I tested it at the range... Adjusted it up to 2Lb and still had burst issues... Make sure you don't load up a mag the first couple of times you try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snausages32 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I put it in my 3 gun rifle. I just got back from the range, and I hate it so much. The reset is so weak... I couldn't get past that reset. If it were the exact same trigger with a decent reset, I'd be all over it. For long range, this would be perfect. Where I shoot, most of the rifle stages are up close with 100 yards max. Lots of hosing... This will not work for me. Time to put the Timney back in.
