I love my Rock River triggers. However, I love my Geissele's better. They are more expensive. There is some chance on any two stage trigger setup, that the stem on the back of the hammer can break, which means you lose both your sear and your disconnect, which will likely cause a slam fire gun and a runaway until the mag is empty. The chance of that happening with the level of use that I do is negligible, and although I've heard it told, and have seen pictures of a broken hammer, I've never seen it myself. The stem on that part on the Geissele is twice the size, and is less likely to have that problem. The Rock River uses a curved trigger, and the Geissele a straight one. I can't tell any difference in use. I'm sure the indexing of the fingertip is easier to reproduce with a curved trigger, but what do I know. The Geissele has some choices in how much poundage you have in uptake, and the break. The combat trigger has a 2.5 lb uptake, and a 2lb break for a total of 4.5 lbs, and is very satisfactory in my experience. The enhanced trigger has a 2.3 lb uptake and a 1.2 lb break, for a total of 3.5 lbs, and may be too light for me in practical use. The 3-gun trigger has a shortened length of pull and a quick reset with 3.5 lbs pull. I've not tried that one, but it may be quite good. For most of my guns, I have used the Rock river because a lower parts kit has everything and saves a ton of bucks for a quality trigger set. For my best guns, I'll put in a Geissele.
