Anyone have a Hiperfire 24C trigger installed on a Defensive AR15??

I'm looking at getting a new trigger for my Colt LE6920. I was debating between the Hiperfire 24E and 24C. I'm leaning towards the 24C even though it has very little takeup if at all. This is my defensive carbine. The stock trigger isn't bad but the Hiperfire is just a lot better. I'll probably have it set around 3lbs for pull weight. I have trigger control so no its not too light for me. Just wondering if anyone has a Hiperfire trigger in a defensive AR15?? Thanks!

Ice water runs through your veins? Do you have ample opportunity to test that under controlled scenarios where adrenaline is high? Or are you just cool at the range with your buds?

No, I don't use a 2-lb trigger for my defense gun.

Well I might set it at 3lbs or 3.5lbs. Not sure on the different adjustments on the trigger. I haven't made up my mine totally on the 24C yet. I may opt for the 24 Elite which is a bit more safer as far as a possible accidental discharge.

I've read many favorable reviews for the 24c and that it is the one you want if your doing a blow back weapon if I recall correctly, it's fairly new and interesting. Will say I had not too good of an experience with one of their lower priced models, but their customer service seem good. I will add that I really like my JP single stage and would be something I would recommend viewing.

I've been running single stage JP on my AR for over 20 years now. I use the factory springs for a 4.5# release. I have the 'yellow' trigger spring in case I desire a 3.5# trigger.

A 2.5 pound trigger on a defensive gun is way to light.

Man, I have been on a SWAT team for 12+ years and I would never run a combat/defensive carbine trigger that light. When you go midbrain light triggers are not really beneficial and potentially dangerous. Put some thought to this

I’ve got the 24C (I think) in a DPMS AR10. The stock trigger was the heaviest/crappiest trigger I have ever used in a rifle. Put the Hiperfire 4.5 spring set and made it a good rifle. 4.5 is as low as I go for a non-target rifle.

I have 3 of them on competition rifles, all with the lightest springs. I don't use an AR for HD but would not hesitate to use a 24C or 24 3G. I maybe would use the medium springs if that concerns you. I've been using them for 4 or 5 years and never had an issue on a timer, neither has my daughter or 10 year old grandaughter. She has been using it since she was 6. If she can exhibit trigger control on a 2 lb trigger, so can you. Just takes a little practice. I understand competition is not life or death but your finger doesn't belong on the trigger unless your shooting in either case IMO.

Hyperfire Hypertouch triggers can be set between 2lb and 4lbs with spring supplied with the trigger so is all the whining about a lite 2lb trigger do having no idea what your commenting on ?? I used a well tuned 3.5lb NM trigger that is still the worse trigger I own short of my old shotgun . We have two of Hyperfire triggers . MY wife has a plane jane 24 in her AR9 set up with a 3lb springs and mine has the 24-3g model with a 3lb springs . Bother are slightly under 3lbs but mine has far less take up and over travel . IF you don't know there trigger strike as hard or harder than standard AR mil spec triggers .
If you don't feel you capable of mastering a quality lite AR trigger like the hypertouch series with a adjustable pull weight 2 to 4lb trigger pull then this triggers not for you and move along .

The handgun I first learned to shoot with when 6 years old is a colt huntsman with a 2lb trigger . That same pistol was used to teach our grills to shoot with and our grandkids .

Even if it's over three, it probably will work real nice. I just put an ALG in mine, and it is well over three pounds, but It still is much better than the stock one. If it's a self defense application, I'd use the stock hammer spring and what ever pull weight you got just live with it.

I've got both triggers. The ACT is in a 556 pistol buld, the hyper touch 24 is in a 9mm, 2.5 lbs. On the pull.
That ACT is so sweet I bought 2 more at a going out of business sale,at 75% OFF.

Most people prefer what there comfortable with for a trigger pull . I hate 2 stage rifle triggers and heavy triggers . My hunting rifles are light , The first handgun I learned to shoot with as a 6 years old was a colt huntsman with a under 3lb trigger , Today 56 years later its 2lb 2oz. I fine with hyper touch 24 trigger set at 3lb . real pull weight is 2lb 10oz

I'm not a hunter. Only thing I'm gonna be using my AR15 for is punching paper or shooting steel or an uncommon threat that comes into my house. Also for a breakdown in society caused by civil unrest. I would like to find a Hiperfire 24C installed on an AR rifle and see how it is. $220 is a lot of money for a trigger.

Mid brain reaction is not going to be able to tell if you have a 2lb trigger or a 8 lb trigger. You either have good trigger finger discipline or you are having a ND. I have a hiperfire in a 9mm carbine (which is notoriously hard on triggers) with thousands of rounds through it. I would have no problem with one in a 556.

I had a Timney 3.5# trigger in a carbine and got quite a few double taps spouse to the weight. I ended up putting it into a dedicated .22LR, it’s performed well for about 6k rounds. 4.5-5# is what I prefer

Hands of stone If your in western NC you can shoot ours . 220 dollars !!?? How about 119 bucks . The basic hypertouch 24 has a little bit of take up and over travel . More than any other hyperfire trigger but far less than any AR standard design trigger group . Weight can be as low as 2lb or up to 4lb . That's all your choice as it comes with 3 spring sets for pull weight .

Try to fire a firearm for group and you will quickly "feel" the difference and "see" the difference in a 2lb trigger and a 8lb trigger pull .

Also if your getting double taps with a short pull trigger you should try to use a sweeping trigger pull technique that works well with lighter short reset triggers . Many pro match shooters use that style of shooting technique when fast firing is required . Rob Leatham has a video that describes it well .

There are a lot of options out there that improve over a milspec. Even the cheaper traditional style hiperfires which can be had for under 100 bucks. But the ones with the extra springs which not only set pull weight but when released add more force to the hammer, up to 30% more, sets hiperfire apart IMO. I have one in a 15-22 almost never get duds. If I do, its the ammo. No such thing as a light strike with it. Never ever had a dud in my 9mm or AR.
