I had a chance to speak a little more to Bill & Amy Geissele about ALG Defense and the reasoning behind creating a separate company. There were 2 main reason. 1) They are going after different contracts and thought 2 companies would be better for clarification of products, etc. 2) The Geissele name is known as the premier trigger in the industry. They didn't want to confuse the customer who bought a "tuned" milspec trigger to think they were buying a highspeed Geissele match trigger. By creating ALG Defense, it clarifies the product lines and allows the customer to choose between affordability and AWESOMENESS. Bill is still hands on making the ALG Defense triggers but don't expect the feel of a Geissele match triggers that you are accustomed to.

If you want a great feeling "Tuned" milspec trigger, ALG defense is a great choice. I had an opportunity to feel a standard milspec trigger and a tuned ALG trigger and it was simply a no-brainer. (Tuned - starts off with a solid milspec trigger (same supplier as COLT, then contact areas are polished, & Geissele springs are used). If you want a great single stage trigger but don't want to spend $170 +, ALG is a great choice. Also, many LE departments won't allow for match triggers in their rigs but will allow other milspec triggers and will find the ALG defense triggers to fit that mold.


QMS (Quality Milspec Trigger) pictured below - $45. ACT (ALG Combat Trigger) is basically the same as the QMS with the nickle boron finish - $65.
