Anyone have any experience (pros/cons) with the Elftmann tactical trigger, either the match or three gun? I am interested, but they are pricey, so I want some real-world hands on information before buying. Thank you!

I have an ELF-SE in my Colt 9mm. Very happy with it, easy to install and just a minty trigger. Feels faster and lighter than it is.

While I can't speak directly to the models you're asking about, I do think Elftmann makes a great product.

I've got a variety of triggers in different ARs at this point. Knights, Jard, Larue, Geissele, this Elftmann, they all offer slightly different things.

The Elftmann is the only unitized trigger I've owned, and I got it because I wanted to give that idea a try. It's quite convenient. I got the ELF-SE because of the near non existent first stage and short pull/reset. My Jard is a hair trigger, and I wanted something a little less sensitive.

If the ability to adjust pull weight isn't absolutely essential, consider the model I have.

I have one of their AR-10 triggers in my MATEN. Although I don't have that many rounds through it yet, the trigger is quite nice. It has a crisp break. I haven't shot the rifle at anything other than a very slow pace, so I can't say what it might be like in 3-gun, but the reset is positive, though I can't say how fast.

Like Arc, it's the only unitized trigger I've ever installed. While it should be easy, honestly, I've got enough build time on regular ARs that installing it was oddly more time consuming than a regular multi-piece trigger would have been. But that's just me.

It was very price, but it's a nice trigger.

I've also got a Geissele SD-E in another rifle and the Elftmann is pretty much on par. Little better in some respects, little worse, than the Geissele.

The best trigger for the money is the Larue MBT. My best two stage is the Knights.

Elftmann has trigger shoe options that not everyone is offering, yet. JP Enterprises maybe.

It's a good product.

I'll throw my $0.02 in....

AR Gold straight faced trigger. Awesome out of the box. And simple install.

Another option - had the recent opportunity to eval the Trigger Tech AR Diamond. VERY NICE!!! Used it for about 500 rounds and it was a solid performer.

I can't contribute much to the conversation other than I'm very pleased with the LaRue MBT-2S triggers. 2-stage.
