The Geissele Automatics SSA-E trigger with lightning bow (brand part no. 05-960) is a two-stage AR trigger built for shooters who want a clean, predictable break without sacrificing durability. Geissele designed the SSA-E around a lightning bow shoe profile, giving it a distinct feel compared to a standard curved or flat trigger. As a two-stage unit, it lets the shooter take up a light first stage before breaking cleanly on the second, which makes it easier to manage precise shot placement under pressure. It is a natural fit for AR-platform rifles used for duty, competition, or dedicated precision work.
