If you only use the trigger pack, the mechanism breaks cleanly and crisply, but the trigger itself is still the relatively sloppy bullpup Tavor trigger. If you use their trigger pack AND trigger, it removes much of the slop associated with bullpup triggers.
They're also releasing an AK trigger. A Kalashnikov USA AK, with a Geissele trigger? Yes, please and thank you.
Battle rifles shouldn't have 2 lb triggers but that's my opinion.
Agreed
What is sometimes referred to as a bench trigger may not be the best trigger for close in combat. Last thing I want while clearing rooms is the guy behind me to have a hair trigger. I personally have zero issues with the Tavor trigger as it is out of the box. YMMV
Having an opinion is fine and dandy, and Geissele would actually AGREE with both of your opinions... but you're both insinuating things that aren't true. The lightest trigger Geissele makes and recommends for combat use is a two-stage 3.5 pound trigger that they recommend for DMR/SPR roles, and not general use. Their standard (SSA, SD-C, and G2S) general combat use triggers have 4.5 pound pull weights. They aren't exceptionally light, and are in no way unsafe. What they are is very high quality, resulting in a clean, consistent (and therefore predictable) break.
If someone is so fucked up you don't trust them behind you in combat, the solution is actually making them better... not handicapping them with a poor trigger. For your personal use, it is obviously your call to decide whether a trigger upgrade is worth it to you. I plan to have the appropriate Geissele trigger in any AR I own because it makes that much of a difference to me.
