Finishing my AR build, tweeking a few last minute details, one of which was the mil-spec trigger that was in my Palmetto State Armory complete lower.
Basically, I hated the trigger that was in it, was too gritty for me. Didn't have a lot of $$ to spend a new fancy trigger so had to stay in a budget under $100.
Narrowed my choices down to the ALG ACT combat trigger ($65-$70), the Toms Tactical Nickel Teflon trigger group ($50), and the Palmetto State Armory Enhanced Polished Trigger ($29-$50 depending on whether or not on sale).

Long story short, I bought and tried them all. I had a PSA EPT laying around that I bought a year or so ago. The PSA EPT was an improvement but, in my opinion, not as good as the other two, still felt slightly gritty. Now, I've read reviews from users who LOVE that EPT trigger, maybe I got one that wasn't as well polished. Visibly, it looks like the others.

Next was the ALG ACT, great trigger, "tuned by Geissele". I paid $70 for mine, plus shipping, though AIM Surplus has them for less (and was out of stock at the time I ordered) and Joe Bob's Outfitters has them for less as well. (I've ordered from them before, fast shipping, excellent customer service). On the plus side, the ALG does come with a second, lighter spring, which I did NOT use.

Lastly was the Toms Tactical Nickel Teflon trigger group. Popped that in today and...I can't tell a difference at all between the Toms and the ALG. Side by side they even look the same and they certainly feel the same in my receiver. No creep, clean break. Plus, Toms was only $50 including free shipping and was shipped next day. So, the Toms is a keeper.

So, there you have it, my simple trigger review. I hope it helps.
