HiperFire Trigger Review


If you have not heard about the HiperFire line of single-stage triggers, you should seriously consider them. They are absolutely awesome from the HiperTouch 24 to the enhanced HiperTouch 24E to the super tuned 24C competition model. Yeah, I know you’ve heard it all before, but this time it’s different.


HiperTouch’s founder, Terry Bender, had an idea to overcome many of the shortcomings of “match” triggers. Terry is not just some guy filing down sears and swapping out low power springs in his garage. He is a mechanical engineering consultant. The approach to the HiperTouch design was new from the ground up.

Why HiperTouch is Different
The ultimate challenge for a great tactical/hunting trigger is to deliver a smooth, fast, and flat pre-travel, very fast trigger reset, minimize lock time, assure a crisp light break, and have no noticeable overtravel, all while delivering a high hammer fall impact. With match target triggers, the goals are the same, but with even more refinement of all the above with no perceptible pretravel.

The problem is that many of these trigger design goals are all opposing forces. A smooth, fast, and flat pretravel and crisp, light, final break all require low forces at the sear, which equates to the need for lighter hammer and trigger springs, which can lead to light hammer strikes and less reliable ignition.

In standard trigger designs, very fast trigger resets, minimized lock times, and high hammerfall impact require heavy springs, which creates a crappy feeling, heavy trigger.

The final dimension is tuning out pre-travel, overtravel, and ensuring a crisp trigger break, all of which is impacted by the above light or heavy springs. Bad tuning can further impact reliability and safety. The end result is that trigger engineers have their work cut out for them to strike a balance for a great trigger.

That seems like it would be worth a try, totally different than what ever else has been on the market, with the pull, instead a push spring trigger system.
Might be a real smooth hammer fall too.
Although, I am partial to the two stage trigger systems. I like that little stop, to reflect on My sight picture, make that last little adjustment, if needed.

That's a very interesting concept of trigger design. It appears to have gone through a good deal of testing and I am curious to see how it compares to the Geissele triggers I'm currently using...

Thanks for the writeup! :thumbs:
