This isn't a review yet, more of a first impression.

I have to say I'm a bit disappointed at this point. It's a 2-stage trigger, 2lbs to set and 1.5lbs to pull. I don't have a way to measure it, but that seems right. The first pull is consistent and repeatable, the second is light and crisp. I was worried it would be too light and might take some getting used to, but I dont think it will be an issue. I love the flat faced trigger.

What I'm not impressed with is the distance the trigger needs to travel after the reset. It's way too long. It should be *click*, and the next rearward movement should release the hammer, but it seems like you have to completely re-engage the first stage again. I'm really hoping it will feel different when firing versus finger banging it, but I don't know. In that respect, it doesn't seem any better than an el cheapo RRA 2 stage.

Lot of peeps like the SD-E. I never tried the SD-E but have had others and when shooting the differences b/w them are subtle IMO. I've never tried the flat face triggers though.

I have several geissele two stage triggers but I much prefer the SD3G offering.

Mag dumps are like butter...if you're into that sort of thing.

I like the G2S, and I'm glad I went with a 2.5 pound second stage. Theres a wee bit of creep on the second stage, but it's barely perceptible. All in all, it was a solid deal for the $.

Shot it yet? I'm hoping my kitchen perception changes this weekend.

Although it wont help with the reset, did you lube the sear surface? Geissele recommends Mobile 28. Yours may have come with a small amount of it too.

2 of my first 3 shots with the new trigger. The first is just to the left of the frame, I pulled straight through both stages and pulled it. Iron sights at 100 yards.
