When building or upgrading your AR-15 rifle, one of the most important components is the trigger. There are many triggers out there so you must ask yourself what are you are going to do with the rifle. Are you going to use it for plinking at the range, home defense, competition, or long-range precision shooting? The answer of this question will help you to understand what trigger you will need. The Geissele Automatics Super Semi-Automatic (SSA) Trigger is designed for home defense, combat, and reliability. It is modeled after the Super Select-Fire trigger that was developed for the United States Special Operations groups and features a 4.5lb, non-adjustable trigger pull weight. It is a two-stage trigger that gives optimum trigger control during high adrenaline situations while still being smooth and crisp enough to make precise shots when you need to. This trigger is safety certified by the Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center and is recommended for Law Enforcement use. Install the Geissele SSA in your AR-15 lower receiver and you won’t ever have to worry about missing those important shots.
Geissele Automatics manufactures confidence, offering quality triggers and components for the warfighter and competitor. They were established in 2004 with the mission to build the highest quality, reliable triggers for competition and their first trigger, the Hi-Speed National Match trigger, was so popular that they were asked by the Department of Defense to produce a select-fire trigger for the United States Special Operations. Again, it was a success and Geissele decided to bring a semi-automatic version to the civilian market for law enforcement and personal protection.

Helps with trigger squeeze
by AJL
Great trigger. Definitely helps with my trigger squeeze and tightened my shot group. This trigger has a crisp and clean break. The pull is very light. I was surprised when I took it out to shoot. Way better than the mil-spec one that was installed. Im used to pulling on the trigger waiting for it to break but not with this setup. I’ve never had a replacement trigger in anything I’ve ever owned. I’ve been missing out for years.
Great Upgrade

This is an awesome upgrade to the standard mil-spec trigger. You don't realize how bad the standard mil-spec triggers are until you try one of these. Great product.
Geissele SSA-Perfect Upgrade for General Use/Defense
by Bob -
Wow, what a difference from the stock mil spec trigger, night and day. The first and second stage are very smooth, precise and predictable. I highly recommend this upgrade. It's just what I wanted to achieve, and really like the results. No more mush of a stock mil spec trigger pull.
Amazing Trigger For AR 15 and AR 308
by Michael FL
I have this installed on a PSA AR 10 and the trigger wall and reset are amazingly light and crisp. Under $200 this is the best bang for the buck.
great home defense trigger

put this in my ar pistol perfect amout of pressure before the trigger fires, getting 3.7-4.2lbs on the second stage break
Geissele, Only Trigger I Use, Tried Many Others
by Jim
I currently have nine SSA triggers and one SSP trigger. The good folks at Geissele recommended that if I had multiple SSA's not to change to an SSA-E because the lighter pull on the SSA-E may throw me off from what I was used to (great advise). The SSP trigger is on my AR pistol. Love them all. Worth every penny!
Excellent Trigger
by James -
This is my first trigger upgrade and I have no regrets. Replaced the Trigger in a Colt LE6920 and although I have not made it the range yet I can feel the difference everyone raves about. I don’t have any experience with other triggers outside the standard issue M4, but the Geissele is significantly smoother through both stages. You know when reach the second stage and it executes perfectly. I purchased with expectation I might feel some difference but was pleasantly surprised at how much of a difference it makes. Again this is only through dry firing so I can’t attest to range time or durability (has a lifetime warranty so that shouldn’t be a concern) but initial impression is if your thinking about it that’s probably because you haven’t felt one yet … otherwise there would be no doubt.
Nice Trigger!
by Michael D -
Picked up two of these, first time going two stage. I love that I have the option of a single pull, like a home defense scenario. I also have the option for a two stage pull, for taking my time and shooting further out. These triggers feel smooth and crisp, what’s not to like?
Inconsistent
by 11bravo -
I’ve had 4 of these triggers now and had to return 3. None of them functioned as or near advertised. Kept one because it worked ok. The recent one I received had a 3 1/2 lb first stage and .7 lb second stage. spoke with geissele 19 times with 3 ppl. None of them offered a refund. Just standard try this BS. My larue, hiperfire, jp and Wilson combat triggers all function flawlessly and as advertised. Idk if geissele is just hype because of a couple mil contracts or what. I can tell you know one in my unit would put up with that kinda crap.
Thank you for that information on the trigger issue. Per our conversation we will get that return closed.
Super Smooth Trigger For AR-15
by Andrew -
I dropped this trigger in my Sig M400 and headed to the range. It was a whole new rifle with the new trigger. It shoots so smooth, it feels like a different rifle. No more yank and pray, this trigger breaks like fine crystal. I would highly recommend this trigger for anyone looking for the perfect AR upgrade.
