The SSA-E and the SDE are basically the same trigger bow except for the flat vs rounded trigger. The SSA and the SDC are the same except again for the curved vs flat trigger bow. If you want to go flat bow then the SDC (Super Dynamic Combat) is a great trigger and does not have as light a release as the SDE.
This geissele triggers seem to be well worth the price. My last 3 aero builds I used jmt saber triggers for 99 bucks they are amazing. I just finished and aero m5 .308 build with a cmc flatty cant wait to see how the flat trigger feels.
The Geisseles are definitely worth the money. I'm cheap, so I always wait and buy them whenever there's a patriotic holiday. Geissele always runs a 20-percent-off coupon those days. $190 or whatever that end up being seems a lot more palatable than $240.
Yes, my friend! This is my all time favorite trigger. Have it in my Daniel Defense M4V7LW. Keep up the good work here. I also made a video on this trigger but I was outside with high winds that day. Should have brought it inside. Great video!
When you get your video up, let me know so that I can watch it! Thanks for the kind words, and I'm glad you like this trigger as much as I do. That's a great pairing, this Geissele and the Daniel M4V7.
I'm with you, assuming it avoids the problems that some of the 365s have had, it'll be an awesome gun. But, I doubt I'll get one. It's not on my list, and I generally avoid SIGs. Don't get me wrong; SIG makes outstanding pistols, but the quality control problems keep me away.
I agree. Though I certainly don't mind mil-spec triggers, and I'm not good enough for it to make much difference, a gun with a Geissele installed feels like home.
ALG ACT in HD guns, SSA/SD-C in all others. I like a heavy single stage. Probably from growing up shooting shotguns and bolt guns, but to each his own.
great video bro, i seen this before i ordered 2 sd-e triggers for my 2 vltor a5's, feels great overall, on a side note i use red mobil 1 syn grease or lucas oil engine bearing oil to provide a bit better feel and yes, having thick oil, or grease does allow trigger to have a better overall feel when pulling trigger because you have some type of lube between trigger contact points and this does indeed reduce friction significantly.
Thank you for the kind words! You're right about heavy lube improving feel. However, it also causes the lower to attract sand, dirt, and whatever else gets in there. For a competition gun, coating the relevant trigger bits in grease is just fine, but for a defensive gun, my experience has taught me to use as little as gets the job done.
I LOVE how the super duty SSA-EX feels. It has an insanely “right” feel. Like it’s just meant to be there.. zero noticeable oddities, just smooth and it even has like this minor perceivable butter like roll that’s followed by that nice crisp break. Do you find the SD-E to be anything like what i just described?
That's not how all two-stage triggers work; I have some that deposit your finger back at the wall, rather than the start of travel. However, I think the Geisseles are inherently a bit safer because of this. As for your description of the SSA-EX, I'm not sure. Everyone uses different language to describe something as subjective as a trigger pull, but I'll do my best. In general, the SD-E does feel similar to other Geissele two stages. The take-up is light and very smooth. There is a slight bit of give at the wall, just a little squish, followed by the break. It's very pleasant.
@@thegunpenguin funny you mention “squish” before the break.. that’s how I felt the ssa ex felt. A slight smooth roll into a sharp break. But my SDE did not feel like that at all. Wall - candy cane break - done.
@@civilian0005 While I do my best to objectively describe something subjective, you might feel my particular SD-E and have a very different experience. That's the trouble with purchasing a trigger you've never felt in person. And to make it more complicated, there is some variance from unit to unit.
Just as good in what way? You like the feel just as well? Feel is subjective; I personally don't prefer the Rise triggers. But, I can say that the Geissele trigger geometry and the way they're built offers a few advantages. Will you see any benefit from such advantages? I have no idea. If Rise is working for you, that's awesome, but they are $120 for a reason.

I love all my dozens of Geissele triggers (SSA, SSA-E, SCAR, MCX, ACR...). My Super Sabra has a funky curved/straight hybrid face which I really like.
I'm with you! No other triggers feel as nice, and I've yet to have a problem with any of mine. Have you tried the S3G?
Sd-e is my favorite trigger by far. I used to be a larue fan after using one of their mbt2s (they’re nice and all ) but the different was considerable
I have the SD-C in my URGI, and i love it. Have an SSAE coming in today for another one as well as an SSAE spring kit to upgrade my SD-C to the SD-E
Of course as soon as I buy this trigger as my first trigger. He says at the end of the video it shouldn’t be your first trigger😭😭😭
Dry fire practice.

@@thegunpenguin Here it is. It was in October 2019. Windy day. czcams.com/video/jBP52u3dTwM/video.html.
Came for the Geissele, stayed for the zeppelin noises. You got my like brother.
Thanks, my friend!
Kinda forgot to check this channel last week. Anyways, I think that Geissele makes possibly best triggers.
Geissele is awesome!
POSSIBLY?
Geissele most DEFINITELY makes the best AR-15 Triggers on the market
Can we get a review of the p365xl? It looks like its gonna be one of those guns that you can stretch into any role, carry, home defense, etc.
I'm with you, assuming it avoids the problems that some of the 365s have had, it'll be an awesome gun. But, I doubt I'll get one. It's not on my list, and I generally avoid SIGs. Don't get me wrong; SIG makes outstanding pistols, but the quality control problems keep me away.
So, it’s been a couple years. How do you feel about this trigger after living with it for a while? Is the SSAE still your favorite?
That action on your AR15 is pretty smooth. I mostly hear sandpaper on most videos. I like to smooth out all the action of my AR15s as well.
I'd love to tell you that I did something to make it that way, but I just shot it a lot and didn't clean it as often as I should!
Geissele triggers really turn a gun into a weapon. They are transformative. Once you buy a SSA E or SDE, you can never go back to a milspec trigger.
I agree. Though I certainly don't mind mil-spec triggers, and I'm not good enough for it to make much difference, a gun with a Geissele installed feels like home.
I totally agree. Nothing on the weapon moves when you break the shot. Total game changer going from mil-spec to this
Love the vid and I’m sold on the trigger. Keep up the great work my guy. #2AtheONLYway

That's understandable!
Pull is manufacturing dependent, mine is 2.7 to 3lb

This video pushed me from a CMC drop in, to the SD-E, and I thank you for it.
I'm glad! I'm of the opinion that the SD-E is superior in every way.
They’re two completely different kinds of triggers. I don’t understand how you could debate between the two for the same gun?
@@Spoons7414 Woosh, foo.
Great choice I bought the cmc and now I'm selling it and using the money towards a geiselle smh lesson learned...

My LaRue mbt2s does the same thing with the reset bringing you all the way back to the start. I think that’s just how all 2 stage triggers work

What the different between this to SDC
This is to an SSA-E what the SDC is to an SSA.
Awesome!!!
Thank you, my friend!
Really? I want to hear the pow pow pow…😢
Very nice and over priced
Black Friday this year $160 still not cheap but better than $240

All Rise makes are single stage triggers.
I normally talk shit about trash ass gun videos but your really good. You’re welcome!
