I have one. If you like flat triggers, grab it.
It’s wide like the factory trigger.....and well.....flat.
I prefer the smooth curved comp trigger shoe on a tuned factory trigger. But the flat is definitely very nice.
I have 2 flat shoe TT diamonds and really like them. Been debating on grabbing this.
Advantages?
I feel as though I get a good 90 degree trigger finger on them and have a nice, straight back pull. It’s all personal preference really.
Does this only work on the competition trigger, or on the standard AX trigger as well?
Who is selling these?
I have one on my work rifle and absolutely love it. Very nice for positional shooting.
I need to order one but haven't decided if I should buy the Comp trigger or not along with it.
What’s configuration/weight would you like to run the comp trigger?
And what’s more important to you, absolute reliability or fully tuned/lighter trigger?
2lbs would be great. But reliability is more important than a lighter trigger.
I’d tune the factory trigger up a bit then. Take out all the tension on the front adjustment. The tweak the sear screw. My factory trigger is about 1.5lb.
A drop test straight on the butt with the safety off is so so.
The comp trigger has 6 different adjustment screws and they all influence one another. Its extremely finicky and sensative. I’ve had three fail. Two of them were sent back to xtsp and both came back “tuned” from the owner. Without any further adjustments I was still able to get them to not perform 100% when they came back. Tried them in two different AI’s and even swapped the bolted between them. Same issues.
I’ve know at least another 7-8 guys down here who have had similar issues. And I’ve read at least 3 occurrences on the AI Facebook page of comp triggers failing.
They feel great when/if you get them running right. And some guys say they have great success with them, which is awesome.
If you get one, my suggestion would be to keep the factory trigger and tools on hand in your pack. If it does go down, you can have it swapped out in a few minutes and be back in it.
Def keep you stock trigger in your pack OP. I am 250 rounds in since my last adj when I added my flat shoe. I used wax this time on ALL my screws post adj to see if it will keep them from working loose. My trigger is at 1lb drop safe with 2 stages.
Did you experience a failure, adjusted, and now have 250rnds since?
The comp trigger takes quite a bit of adjusting to get complete reliability. Probably took me a couple of hours. Of course I was doing the most difficult thing - trying to make it a single stage trigger. With the initial adjustments I made, the trigger felt great but was not drop reliable. I had to play with them quite a bit and finally, even though the instructions advised against it, I had to play with the sear screws. After a couple of hours of tweaking, I finally got the pull I wanted and have the trigger and safety work 100% and also remain safe when dropped (before, the sear would release if dropped on it's butt with enough force). I'm of the same opinion as huskydirver, if you don't need it to be a single stage, the standard trigger just makes life simpler.
I've got about 200 rounds prior to my most recent adjustments. The trigger always worked and no cocking failures. However, the drop test failure always bothered me, so I tried tweaking it and that's when I started having issues with the safety. So I finally reset everything. Right now I can drop it on the buttstock from chest high and it will not trip the sear with or without safety engaged. Just did this yesterday so I don't have any live fire yet. Just dry fire and it's operating as it should.
Did you attempt to tune the trigger with the heavier spring? I played with it quite a bit with the factory installed spring, but the trigger pull was just a touch lighter than I prefer. I was trying to get it to the 2.5-3 lb range in single stage. I finally switched over to the heavier spring in order to get the trigger pull I wanted. Also, from my own experience and seeing how the various parts of the trigger interact. I think for those looking to set it as a single stage, it's best to leave just the tiniest bit of take up for the 1st stage travel before it hits the 2nd stage "wall" because if you take it all out, it applies pressure to the second stage. That would be my guess as to why it slam fires. When I left that little bit of travel, the slam firing stopped.
Is there a difference? Did the comp trigger get changed since its initial release?Had issues with my original comp trigger so I've been shooting the factory AI trigger.
Just ordered a new Comp trigger to see if I can make it work
