The AR-15 platform is arguably the most popular firearm in the United States. Eugene Stoner’s iconic design is largely defined by its modularity, making it one of the most customizable platforms available. 

With that popularity and easily customizable nature, what are some of the best trigger upgrades for the AR-15? This is by no means a comprehensive list of all the great options available. Nonetheless, here are a few of my top picks.

HONORABLE MENTIONS


While these are some of my top triggers, this is by no means a comprehensive list. In fact, here are a couple of honorable mentions. 

RMT’s Nomad trigger features a patented pivot design that adjusts to the shooting finger. This one-of-a-kind design addresses finger placement unlike any other product.

Another great option is Black Talon Tactical's trigger and lower receiver trigger service. Black Talon’s trigger is adjustable, while its AR lower cut makes it easy to adjust the trigger weight after installation. 
 

SUMMARY


Trigger upgrades are great and can be an extremely useful tool in becoming a more accurate shooter. However, triggers don’t magically make you better. Training is the most important aspect of firearms ownership. So, whether it’s a drop-in upgraded trigger or a standard mil-spec trigger, make sure to grab some ammunition, hit the range, and train.
