The TriggerTech Competitive is a fixed-weight single-stage drop-in trigger with a flat black shoe for AR-15 and M4 pattern rifles.
The workhorse of the TriggerTech line — a fixed 3 lb single-stage in all-business black.
The TriggerTech Competitive Single-Stage AR (flat, Black) is the configuration most shooters land on: a factory-fixed 3.0 lb pull — the sweet spot between precision and practicality — delivered through TriggerTech's Frictionless Release Technology, which the company credits for a break with no creep and no grit. The fixed weight removes the last variable: what you feel today is what you feel in five years.
A flat shoe for consistent finger indexing, a black finish that disappears into any build, and sealed stainless internals. This is the trigger you install and stop thinking about.

Frequently Asked Questions
What lowers does it fit?
It is a drop-in fit for AR-15 and M4 pattern lower receivers with mil-spec trigger pins. Large-pin receivers will not take it, so check before ordering. No receiver modification is required to install it.
Is a fixed 3 lb trigger the right choice for me?
If you already know what weight you want, a fixed trigger removes the temptation to keep fiddling and gives you the same pull every time you pick the rifle up. Three pounds is a common competition setting — quick enough for a stage, controlled enough to be sensible. If you would rather experiment, an adjustable Adaptable or Diamond model makes more sense.
How does the flat shoe change things?
A flat bow gives you a consistent point of contact and a press that runs straight to the rear, which helps with repeatability when you are shooting to a standard. It also feels slightly lighter at the bottom of the shoe because of where the leverage falls, even though the measured weight is unchanged. Shooters used to a curved trigger usually adapt within a session or two.
What is the difference between the black and stainless versions?
Only the finish. The stainless Competitive flat is the same 3 lb single-stage trigger with a different look, as is the Blue/Black version.
