The premise behind the Rise Armament ICONIC two stage trigger is to provide a drop-in trigger for modern AR-pattern firearms that has two completely independent stages. This arrangement provides the shooter with the feel and quickness of a single stage trigger but with the control and precision of a traditional two stage trigger at the same time. The main difference between the Rise Armament ICONIC’s internal layout and that of traditional two stage trigger designs is that these traditional triggers have the entire trigger components linked, from the beginning of the pull all the way to the break of the shot.

The trigger is a two stage design with the two stages being completely independent and totally separate mechanical components for each stage. Because of this design, you get unmatched performance.
On regular two stage triggers, the hammer sear and trigger sear interact on both the first and second stages. Also, the disconnector controls the second stage; this old design hurts performance. The
Rise ICONIC’s independent two stage design allows for a very distinct wall with hardly any over travel. The trigger’s first stage has a curved blade that is wider than the second and has smooth edges for maximum comfort and control. That first stage pulls at only one pound, so you hardly feel it, but somehow you know it is there.
The second stage is a skeletonized blade with an insanely crisp, clean break that’s very comparable to a high-performance single stage trigger. That second stage pulls at only two pounds.
The two blades are designed not to collide but rather to slide and nest with each other. There is virtually no creep and absolutely none of the spongy feel in conventional two-stage triggers caused by their compression of the disconnector spring.
