Update:
Just ordered the ACT from ALG defense. They're having a 4th of July sale, normally $70 sale $55. Couldn't ask for a better price (well free is always best, but this is very reasonable).

But if bought at $99 it's definitely a better bargain compared to the SSA-E and even the ALG ACT
That weight was measured with a trigger scale.

The Larue does seem to have a wider, straighter shaped trigger.

I use the pad of my finger to pull, I can see where using the joint would make for a different experience.

The Larue triggers went away fast on that sale. The scope mounts went on sale recently, too, I think they went pretty quickly.

It pays to be signed up for the Larue emails so you can get on them early.

Agreed on the bargain prices.

Speaking of sales - Geissele is having a 4th of July Sale that includes 35-50% off on "blems". (Blem in this case usually means you'll see more marks from scuffs acquired on the first range trip than you can find on the blem when you open the box.) Didn't see any triggers but the scope mounts and FF hand guards were phenomenal deals. (Pity I'm saving for something else!)

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Thank you
Agreed, nothing wrong with blemishes. It's not a beauty contest

FWIW - PSA sale on Geissele triggers.

I have one from PSA - reasonable sale - shipping can take a little while.

Got the trigger in the mail today. I'm no aficionado of triggers, but i can tell the difference.

Thank you for the advice, it'll do nicely!
