Geissele vs Timney vs TriggerTech vs Radian: Trigger Brands Compared

July 1, 2026

We stock four of the most respected trigger makers in the world. All four build superb triggers — but each has a distinct character. Here's an honest breakdown of what each brand does best.

Geissele Automatics — the combat benchmark

Geissele built its reputation supplying US Special Operations, and it shows: robust two-stage designs with tool-steel internals that run for tens of thousands of rounds. The SSA is the duty standard, the SSA-E the world's most-recommended precision upgrade, and the G2S the smart entry point. Choose Geissele if: you want the proven two-stage feel trusted by professionals. Browse all Geissele Automatics.

Timney Triggers — the original drop-in masters

Building triggers since 1946, Timney popularised the self-contained drop-in cassette — and hand-tests every unit before it ships. The range is huge: AR PRO for ARs, Elite Hunter for Remington 700s, plus triggers for the Ruger 10/22, Tikka T3 and CZ 457. Choose Timney if: you want the easiest install and the widest platform coverage. Browse all Timney Triggers.

TriggerTech — the zero-creep innovators

TriggerTech's patented Frictionless Release Technology puts a rolling bearing between sear and trigger — physically eliminating creep for a break that feels like glass at any weight. Tiers run from the accessible Rough Diamond through Duty and Competitive to the flagship Diamond. Choose TriggerTech if: you want measurable zero-creep performance and wide adjustability.

Radian Weapons — machining perfectionists

Radian makes fewer models, machined to jewellery-grade tolerances. The Vertex single-stage breaks identically every time at 3.5–4 lb — and pairs beautifully with Radian's Raptor charging handle. Choose Radian if: you value flawless fit and finish across matched components. Browse all Radian Weapons.
