I would shy away from the Geissele triggers. They are very mushy and don't have a defined break point. I would look at TriggerTech, AR Gold, Timney, Hiperfire, CMC and velocity. That's about the order I would look at them also. I've got one of each except the velocity and CMC in different guns. If you ever want to go try them let me know and we can run to Brocks Gap and you can play with each.
Your more than welcome to cone try mine. What you described is nothing like my trigger at all.
If Colt1917 wants to shoot some we could all get together at the range and try different triggers. I've owned 3 or 4 different t geissele triggers and wasn't impressed with any of them but with that said I'm open minded to trying anything. They may have a model that I'm not familiar with.
I really appreciate all the offers, and I may well take y'all up on meeting out at Brock's Gap sometime soon. First though, I think I'm gonna try the paracord and paper towel trick that BamBam32 suggested. My AR is a Windham Weaponry CDI with a basic mil-spec trigger. It's not terrible, but then again it's not like the trigger on my two Tikkas either!
