try any Geissele SD3G, AR Gold, JP rolling, etc. and you WILL experience the difference.
The rifle team coach gave great demo for our MTT when he suspended the weight of the rifle just on the mil-spec trigger without the trigger moving. It illustrates that the force you exert on the trigger is more than the weight of the rifle. Thus, how you move the trigger is enough to move the rifle around, more so during recoil/reset as there's less visual feedback then. Furthermore, a smooth, crisp trigger is more conducive to the "surprise bang" before your subconscious can screw the fundamentals via flinching, bucking, anticipation, etc. Likewise, the short reset facilitates follow up shot under solid fundamental before any mental screw ups. Another one that Bill Geissele gave great explanation at length is lock time. It may be millisecond, but basically before any movement off your "acceptable" wobble zone, the bullet already leave the barrel.
In some way, it's a crutch and can be a liability without proper training and getting used to it i.e. I will never use my Geissele national match for patrol rifle with the 2nd stage set at 0.5 lbs and mm worth of reset! Btw, that's why I like combat match because it's a level playing field with everybody struggling with that gritty inconsistent 6 to 9 lbs pull of the select fire trigger. Those who do well in 3 gun using race guns did not bring the same dominance when given issue M4/M16
Brush Okie puts it best with "it will not make the rifle more accurate, but you can use the rifles accuracy more." It allows you to harness the mechanical accuracy off rifle + ammo. You may not see it readily at close i.e 7 yards but even at that distance, if you're blasting at Miculek rate of fire
you will definitely appreciate the difference
I personally recommend the cost-effective ALG series.
