love the feel. wish it came with anti walk pins
best trigger i have owned
Geissele SSA-E X lightning bow trigger took about 50 pulls before it really smoothed out but its great now. Two stage with a lighter first stage than the standard SSA. Lightning bow curve fits my finger position. Worth the break-in period.
first stage is smooth and the wall is defined. break is crisp with zero overtravel
Geissele SSA-E X lightning bow trigger drops in to any milspec lower without any fitting required. Pull is consistent across the first hundred rounds. Reset is positive with a clear audible click. Lighter first stage than the standard SSA.
Geissele SSA-E X lightning bow trigger is a perfect range trigger. The wall is defined and the break is repeatable. Two stage with a lighter first stage than the SSA. Lightning bow curve fits my finger position consistently.
