HOW DO THEY DIFFER FROM EACH OTHER? Faxon has a two-stage adjustable TriggerTech AR15 Adaptable se- mi-auto trigger (feels similar to… 1911 trigger!). Trigger pull might be easily adjusted to the user's prefe- rence or task. In addition, the flat trigger shape allowed me to fire multiple shots faster, at short range. Geissele Super Semi-Automatic (SSA) is sem-auto version of US- SOCOM issued Super Select-Fire (SSF). SSA is a non-adjustable two- -stage trigger (1st stage is 2.75 - 3 lbs and 2nd stage is 1.5 - 1.75 lbs) which allows precise and accurate trigger control throughout a variety of conditions and usage require- ments. The SSA features a curved trigger bow , which allows repetiti- ve finger placement on the trigger and better control when pulling the trigger. So both are two-stage but comple- tely different. In Target Creators we often experi- ment with our guns and kit. And so- metimes, each of us has a different feedback. It is the issue of using lightweight sport triggers that "Matka" and I most often argue about, especial- ly when it concerns our students from the Tactical Shooting Teams we run. "Matka" (Head of Training at TC) believes that triggers, both in pistols and rifles, should be factory- -made (preferably MIL-SPEC ones). And it's hard to disagree with him, because after all, safety has always been and still is a priority during our classes. Thus, I had no arguments to convince him to adjustable trig- gers, e.g. TriggerTech, let alone to recommend them to our students. When I learned that my favorite company was releasing the Duty line triggers, I immediately called "Matka" to inform him that there was finally a great tactical trigger on the market that we could recom- mend as Targets Creators. Trigger- Tech surprised us, as it released several variants of Duty triggers. Let's clean up our vocabulary first. Single-stage and two-stage, with flat trigger bow and with curved trigger bow, standard MIL-SPEC and standard sport. I will try to explain the differences based on different variants of TriggerTech's Duty triggers. Two-stage trigger is a trigger in which there is a noticeable play (take up or slack) on the trigger bow before reaching the so-called wall. By slightly pulling the trigger you can feel the position just befo- re break and by adding some more FIREARMS
