TriggerTech AR-15 Competitive Primary Two-Stage Traditional Curved Trigger, 3.5 lbs Draw Weight, Right-Handed (AR0TBS33NNC)

The TriggerTech AR-15 Competitive Primary Two-Stage Traditional Curved Trigger is a non-adjustable drop-in trigger built for shooters who want a crisp, predictable break without the fuss of tuning. At 3.5 lbs draw weight, this right-handed trigger delivers the kind of light, clean pull you'd expect from a 1911—with near-zero creep, minimal over-travel, and a sub-0.030" tactical reset that lets you get back on target fast. It's the kind of precision upgrade competitive shooters and serious AR builders turn to when factory triggers just don't cut it.

What sets the TriggerTech apart is its Frictionless Release Technology, which eliminates the friction points that plague traditional triggers. Because the key engagement surfaces don't rely on coatings, polish, or lubricants, shot-to-shot consistency doesn't fade after hundreds or thousands of rounds—it stays lock-solid. You also get the confidence of hardened 440C stainless steel internals throughout, so corrosion resistance and long service life aren't concerns, whether you're shooting indoors or pushing through nasty weather. And here's the kicker: most shooters report the 3.5 lb pull weight feeling roughly half a pound lighter than friction-based triggers of the same spec, even though hammer force remains unchanged for reliable primer strikes.

This is a no-frills, no-adjust trigger—you get what you get at 3.5 lbs, and it's precisely calibrated to be exactly that. If you're building or upgrading an AR platform rifle for competition, precision rifle shooting, or just want a trigger that won't let you down, the TriggerTech Competitive Primary is a solid choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this AR-15 trigger fit my rifle?

The TriggerTech Competitive Primary is a drop-in trigger designed for standard AR-15 platforms. It's configured as a right-handed trigger. Always verify your upper and lower receiver are compatible with aftermarket triggers before purchase.

Is this trigger adjustable?

No. The TriggerTech Competitive Primary is non-adjustable and comes set at a fixed 3.5 lbs draw weight. The design is optimized for that specific weight, and there are no tuning knobs or screws to adjust.

How does a 3.5 lb trigger feel compared to heavier factory triggers?

The 3.5 lb draw weight is notably lighter than standard mil-spec triggers (typically 5–9 lbs). Because of the Frictionless Release Technology and minimal creep, most shooters report it feeling even lighter—roughly 0.5 lbs lighter than friction-based triggers of the same measured weight. The short over-travel and quick reset also make follow-up shots faster and more intuitive.

Will the light pull weight cause reliability issues?

No. The pull weight reduction does not affect hammer force, so you'll get dependable primer strikes every time. The 440C stainless steel internals and frictionless design also ensure the trigger remains reliable even in harsh conditions.
