obsessiveshooter Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Like the title says, whats the best trigger out there for a PCC, from about $120 on down. I start at that price because the PSA Custom 3.5 lb trigger is that price, and I've heard great things about it. I've also seen some triggers for around $80. I have a PSA PCC with their enhanced polished trigger, which will be a good starter for my boys since they'll be shooting it the most. But once they get the hang of it, that 5+ lb trigger has got to go. I'm not familiar with what makes a trigger work or not work in an AR9. It seems like most of the triggers discussed in this forum are over $200, which I'm just not interested in. There's gotta be a bang for your buck trigger out there in this saturated AR market. Any recommendations? Link to comment
MemphisMechanic Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 The issue isn’t finding a trigger in this price range. It’s that blowback 9mm guns utilize a much heavier bolt moving more rapidly than a gas-operated rifle caliber. Handgun calibers are much harder on the action. In particular, the trigger. There are a lot of very good, expensive triggers that will die quickly if they’re run in a 9mm gun. Link to comment
TRUBL Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 https://jprifles.com/1.4.8.2_fc.php The original JPFC-1 $99.95........King and still champion. Personally, I'd 'bob' the hammer to make it look like the JP speed hammer and drive on. Link to comment
goldfish Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Keeping it simple with the PSA Enhanced Polished Trigger is good enough. Practice makes perfect. Link to comment
ericskennard Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The Rock River Varmit trigger is 3.5 lbs and can be found for around $100. I have 3 of them in 9mm PCC'S. They just work and don't stop. Link to comment
greatlakes08 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 CMC 9mm trigger is my favorite and has not let me down. I see them on sale for 120. Link to comment
Les Snyder Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I've had Rock River Arms NM triggers in all of my competition ARs... not the lightest pull, but good Garand style catch/release mechanism on the disconnector.... Link to comment
Raymond1975 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I had a rock river arms NM 2-stage trigger in my olympic arms AR15.But that did not work with my 9mm hera arms upper.Now back to stock milspec trigger. Link to comment

ck1 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hiperfire is supposed to be releasing their new PDI triggers in the coming weeks and they’re listing them at $180MSRP... so “street price” should be close enough to $120 that it might be a great option? I spoke to one of their reps about them, and he mentioned several times that them being “PCC tough” was a huge focus in their design... Link to comment
Matt1911 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Up until recently, I would have suggested the Rise RA-140, but now that I'm getting closer to the 1k rounds mark, I'm starting to have reset issues. I'll fire half a mag and then get a dead trigger. I can push forward on the trigger and it will reset and fire on. Time to find something better I suppose. Link to comment
Matt1911 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I have a Larue MBT 2 stage sitting doing nothing. Does anyone know how well it works with PCC? Link to comment
ProfessorGascan Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I used a PSA nickel coated mil spec trigger with a bobbed hammer and JP enhanced reliability red hammer spring in my blowback franken ar9. No reliability issues in thousands of rounds. Not as nice as an MBT 2s I have in my ar 15, but for $40 all in I can't complain. Link to comment
mitommy Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 My favorite trigger for AR & PCC is Geissele G2S. It’s a 2 stage that is easy & quick for single action type shots, but has that 2 stage feel when longer or more precise shots are needed. They can be had in your price range, when on sale. for a single stage upgraded trigger I like the ALG Advanced Combat Trigger. Dim the & crisp with a nice reset. Link to comment
cecil Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I run Hiper Fire triggers in both of my PCC's .. THEY HAVE RUN 100% FROM DAY ONE... never broke a firing pin in over 8,000 rds .. (knock on wood) .. pay once .. cry once.. Link to comment

obsessiveshooter Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Davidson defense has some very inexpensive drop-in triggers that are 90-120, and 2.5 to 3 lbs. One person in this thread suggested the 3-gun trigger. Anyone else have experience with these? The price is great. The longevity is what I'm concerned about. The oddball descriptions on their website does mention using high- grade steel, but poorly written text either means " dont trust them" or that it was written by the machinist, not a marketing guy.
