• Improved Consistency: With a highly repeatable pull, shooters can anticipate the break, leading to better control and reduced target acquisition time.
• Reduced Fatigue: Lighter, smoother pull weights minimize strain, enabling shooters to maintain focus and execute shots more effectively over extended periods.
• Versatility for Different Disciplines: An adjustable trigger allows shooters to fine-tune the pull weight to suit various shooting scenarios, from fast-paced competitive stages to precision long-range engagements.

When considering an AR-15 trigger upgrade, questions often arise such as: "What is the best AR-15 trigger for competitive shooting?", "How can I improve my AR-15's accuracy?", or "Which trigger offers the most consistent pull?" The TriggerTech Adaptable Primary Two-Stage Trigger provides compelling answers to these questions through its groundbreaking design and proprietary technologies.

Unpacking the Core Technologies: Frictionless Release and CLKR

At the heart of the TriggerTech Adaptable Primary's exceptional performance are two patented technologies: Frictionless Release Technology (FRT) and CLKR Technology. These innovations set TriggerTech triggers apart from conventional designs, offering tangible benefits that translate directly into superior shooting.

Frictionless Release Technology (FRT): The Secret to a Perfect Break

Traditional triggers rely on sliding friction between the sear and hammer, which can lead to creep, inconsistency, and wear. TriggerTech’s Frictionless Release Technology completely redefines this interaction. Instead of sliding, the system utilizes a patented free-floating roller that rolls along the sear, eliminating all forms of friction during the break.

Key Benefits of Frictionless Release Technology:

• Zero Creep: Experience a true, clean break with no perceivable movement before the hammer falls. This is paramount for precision work.
• Enhanced Reliability: By eliminating friction, internal components experience significantly less wear, ensuring a longer service life and consistent performance over tens of thousands of cycles.
• Crisp, Consistent Break: Every pull feels identical, allowing shooters to develop a deep understanding of their trigger and predict its exact break point.
• Improved Accuracy Potential: The lack of creep and crisp break minimizes the chance of "pulling" the shot, leading to tighter groups and increased precision.
• Superior Feel: Many users describe the feel as a "glass rod" breaking – incredibly clean and satisfying, akin to a high-end 1911 trigger.

This innovative approach ensures that regardless of the trigger's pull weight setting, the break remains exquisitely clean and predictable, a characteristic highly valued by precision shooters.

CLKR Technology: Effortless Pull Weight Adjustment

The ability to quickly and reliably adjust trigger pull weight is a significant advantage, particularly for shooters who engage in various disciplines or who simply prefer to customize their firearm to their exact specifications. CLKR Technology makes this process remarkably simple and precise.

How CLKR Technology Works:
With the TriggerTech Adaptable Primary, adjusting the pull weight from 2.5 lbs down to 5.0 lbs is done in fine 2oz increments. This is achieved using a single set screw accessible even with the trigger installed in the AR-15 lower receiver. Each click of the adjustment screw corresponds to a precise 2oz change in pull weight, giving the user immediate tactile and auditory feedback.

Benefits of CLKR Technology:

• Unparalleled Versatility: Easily switch from a heavier pull for hunting or tactical applications to a lighter pull for competitive precision shooting.
• Quick and Convenient Adjustment: No need to remove the trigger from the rifle, saving time and effort.
• Precise Control: The 2oz increment adjustments allow for extremely fine-tuning, ensuring the trigger feels exactly as desired.
• Confidence in Setting: The audible and tactile "clicks" provide assurance that the desired pull weight has been accurately set.

This level of user-friendability and precision adjustment means the TriggerTech Adaptable Primary is truly "adaptable" to an extensive range of shooting preferences and operational requirements.

Design and Construction: Built for Durability and Performance

The TriggerTech Adaptable Primary is not just about innovative technology; it's also about robust construction designed to withstand the rigors of demanding use. Built as a self-contained, drop-in unit, installation is straightforward for most AR-15 owners.

• Material Excellence: The trigger housing is meticulously crafted from 7075-T6 aluminum, a high-strength aluminum alloy known for its exceptional durability and resistance to stress corrosion cracking. This lightweight yet incredibly strong material ensures the trigger assembly remains rigid and performs flawlessly under pressure.
• Hardened 440C Stainless Steel Internals: All critical internal components, including the sear and hammer, are precision machined from hardened 440C stainless steel. This premium-grade stainless steel offers superior hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, contributing to the trigger's extended service life and consistent performance even in harsh environments.
• Two-Stage Action: The trigger features a classic two-stage action, beloved by many precision shooters. This design provides a noticeable "take-up" (the first stage) before encountering a distinct "wall" (the second stage) where the trigger breaks cleanly. This allows the shooter to prep the trigger, find their aiming point, and then apply the final, precise pressure to break the shot without disturbing their sight picture. The feel is often compared favorably to a custom 1911 pistol trigger, known for its smooth take-up and crisp break.
• Traditional Curved Style: The trigger shoe itself is a traditional curved design, which many shooters find comfortable and intuitive, offering excellent finger placement and control.
• Right Hand Configuration: Specifically designed for right-handed shooters, ensuring optimal ergonomics and access to controls.

These material choices and design philosophies underpin TriggerTech's commitment to producing triggers that are not only high-performing but also exceptionally durable and reliable for years of demanding use.
