vgdvc Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Hiperfire 24c. I have four of them now. Extremely durable, robust and reliable. They are adjustable by swapping out their proprietary system coil springs. The beauty is the lighter the trigger pull gets the heavier the primer strike is. I run one in my ar9 pcc. Probably has about 20,000 rounds with no cleaning so you can imagine how dirty and gunky it is. Never had one issue. I run them in competition and duty pieces. Also it is not a drop in unit so works on the design principle that the AR was originally engineered around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inertia Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I have tried every legit competition ar trigger and currently have several thousand worth in various rifles. There are a few that are great but which of these will work best is a bit about your preferences. Look hard at the new triggertech diamond single stage. A hyperfire eclipse is also on the short list. The calvin elite is very fast but not appropriate for less experienced shooters, I see intermediate shooters struggle to control it and prevent it from doubling. I keep one in my hoser rifle but it's disconcerting when I go to hard and it gets giggly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd call him a beginner - he's shot less than 1000 live rounds in his entire life and 2 matches on the clock. The last ~300 rounds were all on a Calvin. it's never doubled on him. Granted that 300 rounds isn't a large sample size ... but I give this as an example of a Calvin working perfectly for a beginner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider that someone that shoots 20k rounds a year pulls the trigger pretty quickly < .15 at full speed so things may behave differently.

Acespeedy Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 DH3 Trigger has to be my favorite so far, well worth the money. JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up one for a small 11.3" build. I got the red/chrome "special addition". Was on sale for like $80.00. Not going to replace my Hiperfires, but it is damn good. Hard to imagine a better trigger for the money. I like it better than CMC's I have used. If you have a gun and don't want to spend $300 on a trigger it is a good option, imo.

kurtm Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I still like the J.P. trigger the best. It might not be the lightest although at 2-2 1/2# it's plenty light. It might not be the flashiest flat faced TiN coated trigger out there, but it is a very simple trigger. There are no small parts or springs to break or wear out. The whole thing is hardened and the springs seldom wear out. For example I have one of the older style J.P. that you had to fit. It breaks at 2#, has never malfunctioned or doubled, it is in my practice rifle that is on it's 5th barrel and it just keeps on working. So figure it has at least 50,000 cycles on it not including a bit of dry fire, I'd say best bang for the $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love their triggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VS TriggerTech Diamond AR15 Single stage? The RA-535 is a damn fine trigger especially for the price. I run it on my 12.3 SBR and on my PCCs. The pull is right below 3.5 lbs consistently and the reset is insanely short, fast, and strong. I like the feel of the face (not straight but not curved) and have been really, really happy with this trigger. If you catch it on sale around the $160-$180 range I think the bang for buck is outstanding. I will say I've NOT been impressed with all of RAs products unfortunately. I've had one of their charging handles fail (the only CH failure I've ever had across 5 well used rifles) and I had their RA-140 trigger break on me as well . Despite that for a competition rig I've been very impressed and happy with the 535 and would buy it again in a heartbeat. Before anyone asks, the CH failed at the gas key, not the roll pin on the latch. The metal at the bend to engage the gas key cracked and bent "up" enough that it caused the BCG to remain out of battery even when the CH was fully locked in. This was less than 1,500 rounds in. Went with BCM Gunfighters (Medium and Large latch depending on the rifle/application) and haven't looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandiesel Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 I’m a fan of the hiperfire offerings. The adjustability sets it apart from others!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Hiperfire. Relatively easy install and you have the adjustability to modify the hammer strike by changing out the springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmchambers06 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I haven't owned all the fancy ones but I love the original JP. I do own some Larue MBT and Rise triggers. They're nice but I prefer a good single stage trigger. Simple, reliable, good value. For some more info on the original JP trigger, you set the sear engagement/overtravel with set screws and then time the disconnector. I've always just used sandpaper on a bench. But that makes it's possible to pull a JP trigger and reuse it in a different lower, with a different disconnector...which I've also done once or twice. I may or may not have ruined a couple disconnectors before getting a little too cheeky with the tuning as well. Last one I did came in right at 2.5 lb on my gauge with almost no creep.

Kevrend Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Huge fan of the Timney Calvin Elite. Super light, no ignition or reset issues, very fast. Zero creep, ultra crisp break and you can adjust the length of pull and angle to your needs, plus comes with a variety of shoes, (flat, curved, knurled cylinder, etc).
