RickT Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I have a Velocity 3 lb. trigger on my PCC. It's a nice trigger, but after 150K+ rounds with the short reset on my 9mm 1911 I'm looking for something with little take-up and a very short reset in the 3 to 3.5 lb. range. I'm primarily shooting steel challenge, but want to dabble in USPSA and when I shoot doubles with the Velocity triggerI sometimes short stroke the trigger. I have a CMMG PCC so I really need an AR15 trigger, but it seems that most of the trigger suppliers have similar offerings in PCC and AR variants. And some, Hyperfire comes to mind, have what appears to be a baffling array of triggers. Link to comment
Bwillis Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Ar gold if .223 hammer height works with cmmg bolt go with it, if not you can pick .308 hammer .004 taller or pcc hammer .008 taller than .223 hammer Edited May 19, 2020 by Bwillis Link to comment
ck1 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hiperfire Hipertouch Series (Eclipse, Competition, Reflex)... pull weight can be 2 - 3.5lbs depending what springs you use, virtually zero take-up, reset is as short as a top shelf 1911. Link to comment
kattman Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Consider the KE ARMS SLT series. These are great feeling triggers and have been holding up in our MPX's as well as blowback AR's. Little to no take up and very short reset IMHO. Link to comment
rishii Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 A buddy is running a trigger tech, I don’t know if it’ll hold up long term but it does feel like a 1911 trigger Link to comment

MaX_1 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 +1 Hiperfire Eclipse with green springs < 2 lbs pull. I am using in MPX and no issues at all. Link to comment
RickT Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Good suggestions that certainly line up with the reviews. I do also have a CMC trigger in my wife's PCC and I'll try that today, but it's a PCC-specific trigger; I need an AR version for my ADM/CMMG SBR. Not going to try another trigger until I resolve my light strike issues which are possibly not lower related. Link to comment
usmc1974 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I Run 3lb single stage velocity triggers and all my 3-gun AR's. It has almost no take up in a very short reset. Just saying Mech Tech sys make a carbine conversion that uses a 1911 lower. Again, just saying. Link to comment
TRUBL Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 no such thing as a 1911 style trigger for the AR9 style PCC......if you mean flat trigger, that's different. But flat triggers for the Ar platform rotate on a pivot point.....they are NOT straight pull back like a 1911. Anyone that thinks it is.....well, is just plain wrong. Hyperfire does a cool pad that is adjustable, CMC and JP have a flat trigger. I'm not saying flat triggers are bad or anything like that......but on a flat trigger, unless you have something to key off of, your weight and/or travel is different depending on where you place your finger on the trigger. Curved triggers, for the most part pretty much take care of that as you comfortably gravitate to the same point every time. I do like flat triggers that have a 'bulb' on the end as that is where I key in my booger hook. But no, there is no trigger on the market that mimics the straight pull back of a 1911 trigger.

Understood. My OP was poorly stated. Should have described function thusly: minimum take-up and overtravel; positive reset. I prefer curved triggers. Link to comment
Jcgatus Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 The triggertech is the closest one to a 1911. Fully adjustable Link to comment
AHI Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 By your description you need to find someone with a two stage trigger. See if that fills your need. This would be try before you by . Reset may be to long for you. Link to comment
Shadow Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Agree with Jcgatus. Triggertech Diamond is the closest to a 1911. Minimal take-up, and reset is extremely short, but a little light. Google a review on youtube. Link to comment
b2948kevin Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Triggertech Diamond is amazing. The Hiperfire Eclipse is the fastest. Link to comment
Jcgatus Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I did a quick overview on youtube. I have a spare for sale if anyone wants one. Link to comment
RickT Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 I did install a Triggertech and set the TPW to 3 lbs. to start with. Feels very similar to my 1911 and should work nicely. I'll probably lower the weight to 2 lbs. once I get comfortable with the trigger, but it should be near-ideal for the double taps I'll need in my occasional forays into USPSA. Link to comment
avastcosmicarena Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 The AR Gold and TriggerTech Diamond are what you're looking for. The Diamond is just a little bit better. It has less creep due to the unique roller design. I actually have one set at just under one pound in one gun, and it functions 100% reliably. This is the best AR trigger on the market, IMO.

My wife's Kidd 10/22 has a 1.5 lb. trigger: dot on target, touch the trigger is all that's necessary. The CMMG has very little recoil, but I'm going to run PF in steel challenge just to keep things lined up with USPSA. Link to comment
Joe D Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 The Rock River or Arsenal #100-020-432WB at Brownells two stage triggers can be turned into 2lb single stage triggers if you know how. Link to comment
