Setting up my two 9mm CMMG SBR, one for HD and one for competition, I elected to go with TriggerTech for the "competition" gun. I wanted a trigger that closely matched the feel of my 3 lb. 9mm 1911 trigger. The TT trigger succeeded in this regard, but I learned several things along the way.
- While I have well over 100K rounds through my 1911 in both practice and steel challenge competition, my PCC competition will be casual with limited practice.
- I don't have the same trigger feedback with the rifle and the TT trigger reset is, to say the least, subtle. Couple that with winter practice with gloves and any advantage of the ultra-short reset vanishes. I was running the TT at about 2.5 lbs. as going any lower would tend to produce doubles. The reset feel doesn't appear to change much with TPW.
- Having two near identical rifles (the HD SBR is suppressed) I wanted my training to cross over into the HD application. Having two dramatically different triggers obviously defeats that goal.
- Getting down to 0.15s splits isn't a goal of mine. Haven't timed my splits with a mil trigger, but I can have just as much fun in competition and be effective in a home defense situation with a 5 lb. trigger.
- I installed an ALG ACT trigger in a pistol lower (for interstate travel) and really like the feel of that trigger. Very smooth take-up and there is little doubt about reset.
- So: I'm going to sell the TT trigger, move my CMMG trigger in my HD gun to the competition gun and install either a LaRue or ALG trigger in the HD gun. The CMMG trigger is a good compromise: 3lbs, but with a very positive reset that I can feel even with gloves.
My conclusion: The TT trigger could be excellent for a high-level competitor who needs those fast doubles and puts in the practice time with the trigger, but its not for me. I do have one in my wife's PCC, but her competition 10/22 has a 1.5 lb. Kidd trigger so the TriggerTech became a natural choice.
Based on a 2-post thread from some months back concerning TriggerTech I suspect there isn't much interest in this forum, but I though I would post my thoughts in the event someone does a search.
