I have used many two stage triggers in my time, always on bolt guns. For my ARs I have always used single stage triggers, even on my Precision Rifles. Back in the day RRA seemed like the only company that made a good two stage trigger, and those were really hit or miss if they worked or not. They also had a very short life span IF they did work. I have tried the Geissele triggers but do not like them at all.

Thant being said I use Timney single stage triggers for my Precision Rifles.

Anyone else using a single stage trigger?

If so what are you using?
 
The trigger on my JP is one of theirs with that roller trigger face on it. I normally prefer a two stage, but like this one a lot. Very crisp, little takeup or overtravel, no creep that I can detect.
 
I prefer a single stage, Timney CE being my favorite. That said my precision AR has a Timney 2 stage and as much as I like the CE the 2 stage is safer. Some of the positions and barricades my precision rifle gets used on almost force a nearly free recoil hold, and I know first hand what the CE will do.
 
Until Trigger tech releases their 2 stage, I use their single stage and love it.

I've always used 2 stage, too. However, just put a TT Diamond on a recent build. Yep...going back to 2 stage. lol Old habits are hard to break.

Side note: I have a TT Diamond for sale, too. lol
Are you guys talking about TT bolt gun triggers because all their AR triggers are 2 stage.

could not recommend the tt diamond flat bade enough Its magical crisp clean almost effortless almost and I love it so far .
I also like my 2 stage ssa it took a few days to get used to it , but Its pretty good .
 
I use a Trigger Tech Special on my bolt gun and absolutely love it. As far as AR triggers, check out the Hiperfire HPTC. We did a blind test at work and it was in every one's top 3 out of 10 or so well known triggers.
 
Geissele S3G in my 20" 5.56. was an experiment. kinda liking it. liking it more than the SSA-E although that comparison is apples-to-oranges, 2-stage vs single-stage, but I ordered another S3G on BF.

I prefer 1 stage over 2. For all my AR's i started using Jard triggers. Was one of the few i found with a single stage AR trigger that you can adjust down to 2lbs. On an AR-15 it is awesome and my favorite (even over the trigger tech's adjustables).

Thought i would throw that out to look into as you don't see them ever mentioned here.
