Way exceeded my expectations! Review by mj

Okay not as well priced where I live at the bottom of Africa and certainly hard to find but what a treat, perfectly machined and neatly presented it dropped in easily and the pins once oiled pushed in and out by hand. Zero creep, zero grit, zero lateral movement and what felt to me like a lighter break than the Daniel Defense M4 V5 mil spec trigger group supplied in my lower. The break on my stock supplied trigger was what I would describe as a carrot break - the ALG trigger lubed and installed pulled to break more like candy cane and a light stick at that. I am extremely please with how it feels and how perfectly it fits. I didnt expect to but I also really like the finish on the trigger it stands out just enough to remind me that it was made with care. I would advise everybody to buy and use the ALG ACT in their duty/defense rifles you will be happy with this purchase. Quality

Awesome Quality for a very reasonable price. Review by James

This trigger is used in extraordinary priced guns. I could not be more pleased with this trigger particularly when i rate it with CMC and Geissele. Quality

Truly Mil-spec trigger & value Review by Al

The very first thing I was advised when I purchased my Ruger AR556 was to change out the OEM Mil-spec it came with, and to get an ALG Defense ACT trigger. I put it off for 10 months until I spotted a sale and had already done a few other basic modifications to the rifle. I have to say, while I didn’t think the original trigger was horrible, the ACT trigger is one of the upgrades I take the most joy and pleasure with. I went ahead and used the purple spring that is 4.5 pounds. Perhaps this was the very first modification that I should have done as advised, but I was truly able to much more appreciate and tell the difference by firing the rifle with the stock trigger for 10 months. The reviews by the others pretty much say the same or similar, you will not regret it. Quality

Excellent upgrade Review by Tim

Excellent trigger. I am not sure if it would make much sense to spend any extra money on a more expensive trigger. This trigger is smooth, light and is a huge upgrade over mil-spec. Quality

Great Trigger For The Price Review by mark

How can you go wrong with the quality and price of these triggers. These are a Fantastic single stage trigger over factory nasty triggers. Plus if it is to light, it comes with a heavier spring. Also it comes with a slave pin they forget to tell you about. I have 4or5 of them. All great!!! Quality

Wish I had started with this one Review by Alex

I just replaced my PSA ECT with the ALG ACT. I could have saved $30 bucks and just got this one the first time. I love PSA but damn you guys are good. Quality

The best budget trigger out there! You won't find better for the price! Review by Jeremy

If your looking for the best possible trigger you can get while keeping everything factory / mil spec then this is the way to go! This is how every trigger should come out of the factory!

Clean, crisp, smooth with very little take up / reset. Quality

You can't beat this! Review by Chase

I currently have 5 of these triggers on all my ARs. There is not another trigger this high quality at this price anywhere. You will not be disappointed. Trust me. Quality

very nice trigger Review by Johnny

After reading all 29 of the reviews i ordered this trigger and happy to say i'm glad i did.This trigger beats the crap out of the triggers on my other ar's and i'll be ordering a couple more Thanks guys Quality

Commiforina upgrade Review by John

Previous I have been eyeing this trigger for a long time and have missed a few holiday sales. It is when I got a hold of a ar-15 that belongs to a range officer in a local shooting range that I go to. That is when I fell in love with it.



Bought it to replace my stock trigger group on my s&w sport 1, and with recent events in commiforina 1 route in not registering the rifle was to go featureless. By having a fin grip and the awkward hand position... the trigger pull seems heavier... and this is the answer without breaking the bank. Quality

GOOD VALUE Review by MEK

INSTALLED ON AN AR 15 300 BLACKOUT CUSTOM. BEFORE 7.5 LBS. AFTER 4.5 WITH REDUCED SPRING. NO CREEP BREAKS LIKE GLASS. GREAT VALUE, HAPPEN TO PICK ONE UP ON SALE. SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT MORE AT THAT PRICE. EASY TO INSTALL. Quality

Better than expected Review by Matt

I love the new addition to my rifle for the money this is a great upgrade, I'm going to upgrade my other rifles now. Quality

Very Nice Review by Jim

I am very happy with this trigger. Great quality for the price. Will be putting this trigger in other builds. Quality

Get yourself one, maybe two, or even three! Review by Marcus

Picked up a used one from a friend who got a custom trigger, and the ACT works great in my rifle. Super smooth action.



I could easily buy 4 or 5 more, but I'm not in a huge rush to replace my different triggers. That said I will be picking one up for my new AR-10 style rifle next month. Quality

Awesome! Review by Eric

I ordered 2 of these when they had a special (should've ordered more). They sat for a while (laziness lol) but when I built a 9mm pistol I needed a trigger so, I put the ALG in. I heard some triggers don't play nice with pistol caliber ARs but, this trigger has been great. Awesome quality and a silky, crisp feel. It motivated to put the other one in my carbine. Quality

GREAT..... Review by John

That was an affordable upgrade to a already fun to shoot AR. Easy install. Thanks.... Quality

just what i wanted Review by Edward

I purchased 2 of these ACTs for my wife and I. They are exactly as advertised. Quality

Lighter than others, but longer too Review by Aaron

I bought this hoping to upgrade a PSA enhanced polished mill spec trigger. The PSA was very smooth and crisp, but head to be near 9 lbs of pull. When I got the ACT, I found it to be lighter, and just as smooth, but it had significantly more pre travel (trigger movement before hammer release). I'd rather have a heavier crisp trigger than a lighter one that lives before the shot breaks. I tried the purple spring from ALG on the PSA trigger, and it dropped my trigger pull by several pounds. Best guess is around 6.5-7 pull weight now. We'll see if it will consistently pop off mill spec primers.

Bottom line, the ALG is much better than a standard mil spec trigger, but mine did have several millimeters of pre-travel. Quality

What Milspec could be and should be Review by Shwell

when you compare this Trigger to "MilSpec" triggers you cant help but wonder why all triggers arent as good. Eliminate the Coating and you have a "MilSpec" Trigger that feels like some aftermarket offerings on the market. It is evident that more attention to detail is paid, and it is greatly appreciated.



Reliably crisp, and affordable. No need to do a DIY polish job, ALG Defense has made sure it isnt needed. Quality

Crisp,Smooth MIL spec trigger Review by Lester

Best Milspec trigger on the market. Great Price. Match it with the Purple spring,and you can't beat this trigger @ this price range,Very reliable hunting trigger at 4.5lb pull weight. Quality

I like it !! Review by Don

Bought the advanced combat trigger. No grittiness or creep - just a clean break. I prefer the lighter spring. Just right for hunting and informal target shooting. Will buy again. Quality

It comes with the purple spring! Review by Fernando

Very smooth and predictable. Fired Federal 5.56 with the purple spring no problem Quality

Very Crisp and Smooth Review by Joe

I purchased this for my son's M&P 15-22 and wow did it make a difference. His groups tightened up immediately. No grit, just a firm (but not stiff), clean break. I know several manufacturers are getting into the polished, coated trigger game but I'm sticking with ALG and Geissele triggers in my rifles. Quality

Great trigger Review by Jim

Just installed one in an AR pistol i'm building. The trigger feels just as good as my SSA units! Quality

Awesome Trigger Review by Big Rick

I have purchased 4 of these ACT triggers. Super smooth and the purple spring is a great option that I personally prefer. You can't go wrong with theses triggers...period!!! Quality

Inexpensive, but not cheap! Review by Greekunick

I wanted to upgrade the standard stock trigger for my Colt LE 6920 and this trigger package certainly fit the bill. It is being promoted as mill spec but breaks cleanly and has a very short and positive audible reset. I don't think you'll be disappointed in purchasing this for whatever AR-15 you are employing. My unit came with two springs, the standard 6 pound and another one which is designated at 4 1/2 pounds. I chose to install the standard spring and I'm very happy with it. I highly recommend this for anyone considering an upgrade. Quality

AWESOME TRIGGER! EXCELLENT VALUE! Review by David

This is simply the best bang for the buck in the AR trigger world. Look no further. You will not be disappointed. Very smooth! I used the purple (4.5 lb.) spring and really like the reduced pull weight. Quality is top notch and what you would expect from anything Geissele. Quality

ACT Trigger Review by SavageRiver1

I bought the ACT trigger and installed it in my AR 15 and I couldn't be happier. This trigger is everything it is advertized to be and more in my opinion. I will be buying more products from ALG Defence! Quality

I just throw stock triggers in the garbage now Review by Moose

John Noveske introduced me to this trigger and I can see why the company chose them as OEM (and Geissele as options). I recently got some purple springs in and replaced the original spring and was surprised at the difference. All of my ACTs are early models before they came with two springs. As far as single stage triggers go, I only use the ACT



The ACT changed the game, as denoted by a number of manufacturers coming up with eerily similar triggers... Quality

Fantastic price point on this trigger upgrade Review by Dorffster

Recommended to me by a friend. I have them in ALL my ARs now. Excellent trigger at an excellent price. Quality

Such A Difference Review by Michael

Replaced the factory trigger in my PSA PA-10, really like the difference in feel and the consistency in the break. Ordering more for my other AR's, even the 22LR. Quality

Very Smooth Review by Frederick

I have to say this trigger has a much smoother pull than the stock trigger. It came with 2 hammer springs for 4.5 and 6 lb pulls. The materials seem to be good quality and installation took about 5 minutes. Quality

Smooth trigger Review by BDeMont

A really excellent trigger. Smooth, crisp, positive break, medium weight. If I was in a combat situation it is exactly what I would want. I swapped out the S&W factory trigger that was a little gritty and it is like night and day different. Great product. Worth the $70! Nice job ALG! Quality

Outstanding!! Review by Stephen

Just changed out my factory trigger in my Ruger SR556c and WOW! What a difference!! Smooth and no creep or take-up. This trigger is a great upgrade at an excellent price point. Strongly recommended!! Quality

Night and Day Review by David

If you're looking to upgrade your stock mil-spec trigger, but don't want to spend over $200, the ACT is what you want. It's a night and day difference between my old mil-spec and the ACT. Trigger pull is now smooth and the break is nice and crisp. I am also using the 4.5 lb trigger spring (my ACT came with the purple 4.5 lb spring, even though the description does not say it does). I can't wait for range day! Quality

Value Review by Brian

I've installed 2 of these triggers on different AR's. Short, smooth and sweet pull. For the money, it cannot be beat. Quality

Great improvement over OEM Review by Daniel

This fire control group more than met my expectations. Installation was simple. Machining is impeccable. And it immediately operated within advertised specifications. The only delay was needing to remove the safety on my DPMS GII. The factory trigger pulled at 7 lbs 2 oz with significant creep, grit, and inconsistent break. The ACT is crisp, short take up, and a clean, consistent break at 4 lbs 10 oz with my Lyman digital scale 6 pull average and purple spring. All fresh out of the mail. Time will tell how well I shoot with it and how it endures. Thank you ALG for a high quality product at a reasonable price. Quality

A++++ Review by Brock

I bought this trigger for what I consider my fighting AR. I am personally not a fan of most of the Geissele for a fighting rifle, because they seem too light. Great for competition, not so much for tactical use. Minimal creep, well pronounced break, short (and audible) reset. Yes, I like this one a lot. Quality

Best Trigger Value Review by John

I prefer a single stage trigger. However, standard mil-spec triggers leave a lot to be desired and (most of) the after market packages are just a little too pricey for me. The ACT (with the purple hammer spring) was a revelation regarding how good a mil-spec trigger can be. Minimal take-up (with no grit), a clean 4.5# break and minimal re-set. All of my current ARs have been fitted with this trigger. All future builds will also have this trigger. Quality

Excellent Value and Solid Performance Review by Patrick
