Description
The TriggerTech Duty two-stage curved trigger takes the frictionless technology TriggerTech is known for and packages it into something built for hard use. Instead of a hair-light target feel, the Duty line gives you a longer, more deliberate first stage that runs into a firm wall, then breaks clean with essentially zero creep. The reset is more forceful than most aftermarket triggers, which gives you clear feedback that you're ready for the next shot. It's a curved traditional shoe with ribbing on the face, so it feels natural under the finger whether you're wearing gloves or running bare-handed.
What Sets the Duty Trigger Apart
TriggerTech designed this line around feedback from military and law enforcement operators who wanted the brand's Zero Creep engagement and stainless internals but with a more tactile, positive feel. To get there they roughly doubled the length and weight of the first stage and tuned in a stronger reset. The key internal components are 440C stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long service life, while the housing is EZAC diecast for durability. The break is genuinely crisp, and because the engagement surfaces don't rely on polishing or lubrication, the pull stays consistent shot after shot.
Fitting the Duty Trigger to Your Rifle
This is a fully self-contained drop-in cartridge unit, so installation is about as simple as AR trigger swaps get. It's sized for the AR-10 and .308 platform and uses standard mil-spec 0.154" trigger pins, though the pins themselves are not included in the box. Spec-wise you're looking at a fixed 3.5 lb pull, 0.000" creep, roughly 0.060" of overtravel, and a tactile mid-force reset. It's backed by a lifetime warranty from TriggerTech.
The Duty is a smart pick for a duty rifle, a defensive build, a 3-Gun setup, or a varmint gun where you want a real upgrade in trigger feel without going to a delicate competition-weight break. If you like a curved shoe and a trigger that talks back to your finger, this one hits the mark.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the TriggerTech Duty a drop-in trigger or does it need fitting?
It's a self-contained drop-in cartridge unit, so there are no loose springs or pins to juggle during the swap. You'll drop it into the lower and secure it with standard mil-spec 0.154" trigger pins. Note that the trigger pins are not included, so grab a set if you don't have spares. TriggerTech's guide is aimed at experienced installers, so if you're not comfortable working in the lower, a gunsmith can knock it out quickly.
How does the Duty two-stage feel compared to a lighter competition trigger?
The Duty is built to feel more like a purposeful service trigger than a delicate target trigger. You get a longer, weightier first stage that runs into a firm wall, then a clean zero-creep break at 3.5 pounds, followed by a more forceful reset. That extra tactile feedback is intentional and gives you clear certainty on every shot, which is why it's popular on defensive and duty-style builds.
Will this AR-10 Duty trigger work in my .308 rifle?
Yes, it's designed for the AR-10 and .308 large-frame platform and uses the standard mil-spec 0.154" pin size and pattern found on those rifles. As with any lighter aftermarket trigger, if you shoot hard-primed surplus ammo it's worth confirming reliable ignition, since some milsurp primers are tougher than commercial loads. For most quality factory .308, it runs clean.
What are the internals made of and how durable is the Duty trigger?
The components that matter most are made from 440C stainless steel for corrosion resistance and a long service life, and the housing is a tough EZAC diecast that holds up to hard use. Because the Zero Creep engagement doesn't depend on polishing or lubrication, the pull stays consistent over thousands of rounds. It's also backed by a lifetime warranty from TriggerTech.
