    'probably the best advertising video that I have seen to date. I would love BMW and others to have the CEO talk for 20 minutes and explain their rationale for the product and options that they sell instead of the stupid hype of dancing kids and phoney hipsters.

    What a great American success story on how to "build a better mousetrap." Geissele triggers are now installed on all my service rifle platforms (whether semi-custom or off-the-shelf). And semi-custom builders like Fulton Armory now include Geissele triggers as a standard-ordering option. Finally, as a bonus, I learned from this video that if you want to know how to pronounce "Geissele" correctly, just go straight to the source: It's "GUYS-LEE." Are you paying attention Glen Zediker?

    I just bought an SSA through Noveske in one of their lower parts kits to install on a Noveske N4 lower and your install video has been a great help in preparation for this. I also want to install new triggers in a DPMS Panther G2 24" Bull barrel rifle and a Stag lower that I intend to add a bull barrel upper to and because of your videos I now know that I want to install the SSA-E trigger group in both guns.

    @KittyFooFo0 Před 11 lety +3

    @StaKind85, I don't profess to be a design expert for GA, but the SSA and G2S have similar geometry in trigger pull as the Super Select Fire (set to semi mode) used by U.S. Special Forces. Hell yeah, they trust their lives to the trigger.
    Both ALG Defense triggers are based on mil-spec geometry. If you want to reduce incidents of friendly fire in a stressful situation, mil-spec geometry is the way to go for those fresh out of boot camp.
    The SSA-E is almost a hair trigger, for veteran shooters.

    Mr. Geissele thanks so much for the video. It's definitely a treasure trove of information.
    I purchased you ALG trigger prior to watching this but will be making additional informed purchases in the future as a result of your going over the entire Geissele line.
    It sounds like the business is run well also and certainly videos should cut down on calls from potential buyers that take production people off their jobs.
    Thanks

    Just bought the SSA-E this weekend and I love it! Haven't put too many rounds through it yet BUT I love the feel of it!

    With so many options this video makes the decision much easier. SSA-E for me. Thank you Bill!
