What is the best AR-15 trigger for general use?

The Geissele SSA and Hiperfire EDT are both excellent options for general use, offering crisp breaks and reliability for duty or range shooting.

What's the difference between a single-stage and two-stage AR-15 trigger?

Single-stage triggers break immediately with one smooth pull. Two-stage triggers have a take-up (first stage) before the crisp break (second stage), offering more control.

Are drop-in AR-15 triggers easy to install?

Yes, most drop-in AR-15 triggers are self-contained and can be installed in under 10 minutes with basic tools. No gunsmithing is required.

Can AR-15 triggers fit any caliber build?

Yes, most AR-15 triggers are compatible with rifles chambered in 5.56, .223, 6.5 Grendel, 300 Blackout, and even 9mm, as long as the lower is mil-spec.

What is the lightest AR-15 trigger pull weight available?

Some competition triggers, like those from ELF and Rise Armament, offer pull weights as low as 1.5 lbs. Many models are adjustable to user preference.

AR-15 Trigger Upgrades – Drop-In, Single-Stage & Two-Stage Triggers

Upgrading your AR-15 trigger is one of the most noticeable improvements you can make to your rifle. Whether you’re fine-tuning for competition, building a home defense carbine, or enhancing a range gun, the right trigger transforms how your rifle feels and performs.

At Mounts Plus, we carry a full lineup of AR-15 triggers — from drop-in single-stage triggers to precision two-stage options — trusted by shooters who expect speed, accuracy, and reliability.

🔧 Why Upgrade Your AR-15 Trigger?

Most stock triggers are gritty, heavy, and unpredictable. A quality trigger upgrade gives you:

Faster lock time – for quicker shot release
Shorter reset – for faster follow-up shots
Crisper break – for improved accuracy
Consistent pull weight – for better shot control
Drop-in simplicity – no gunsmith required

Whether you want a trigger for 3-Gun, duty use, or long-range builds, we’ve got options that match your mission.

🔍 Types of AR-15 Triggers We Offer

✅ Single-Stage Triggers

A consistent, no-creep break with every pull. Ideal for speed-focused shooting and competition.

✅ Two-Stage Triggers

Deliberate first stage followed by a clean break. Great for precision and distance shooting, such as SPR builds or marksman roles.

✅ Drop-In Triggers

Self-contained units that install in minutes. Many include anti-walk pins and adjustable pull weights.
