Product Spotlight: Rise Armament RA-434 Trigger for AR-15

- Among the many drop-in trigger modules for the AR-15, the Rise Armament RA-434 High-Performance Trigger offers an excellent combination of performance and affordability. Brownells Gun Tech™ Caleb Savant gives us a rundown of the benefits you'll get if you drop an RA-434 into your rifle. The standard mil-spec AR-15 trigger is by no means overly complex, but there are multiple parts and springs to wrangle. Rise Armament puts ALL of the moving parts inside an aluminum housing. The RA-434 comes with anti-walk hammer and trigger pins that securely anchor the module in the gun AND will not back out of the receiver ("walk") as the pins rotate with each pull of the trigger. It has a smooth, 3.5 lb., single-stage pull, and adjustment screws let you tension the trigger against the pins. The RA-434's slim-profile hybrid trigger shoe delivers the benefits of BOTH a traditional curved shoe and a straight target shoe. Check out that crisp, clean reset as Caleb demos it! You don't see or feel the drop safety, but if for any reason the sear lets go of the hammer when it shouldn't, the hammer can't hit the firing pin IF the trigger isn't being pulled. Got an AR-15 with a lackluster trigger? Drop in an RA-434 to tune up the gun's performance without breaking the bank!
Have this trigger and I love it. Have a few other RA triggers and they all work great.
Awesome content from Caleb and Brownells, as usual! Thanks for breaking it down. 🙏
They should market this toward seniors.
I absolutely love this trigger. I decided to try each of the Rise Armament triggers. Started with 140 in a Sig Sauer m400.
Big improvement over the above average mil-spec trigger they install. The Blitz is definitely a little better in a FM45.
I skipped and got the 535 APT on sale. And highest at $159
ITS FAST! REALLY FAST. No timers I don't compete anymore. We had stopwatches btw. Started 1966 on 1911s. Now with Arthritis bugging me. Slowing me down a bit.
These triggers are Fantastic.
Best was seven shots off before the first empty shell hits the ground with the 535 in a FM15. Closest was the 434. I actually like the 434 better than 535. And nearly as fast. The movement on the two last triggers are unbelievably micro and crisp.
HA! Crazy thought. Drop 535 in AR10, Than break out the 1980s
GAT device. You Young Bucks won't need it to run that fast. I'll tell you straight up if Rise Armament made a hip and knee replacements I would be back competing again. I keep a decent mil-spec trigger in a few ARs for training the grandkids and future GunTubers. I've tried three other brands. I'm sticking with rise armament. Keep up the great work Caleb. I enjoy all the videos you and Steve do.
I’ve had one on my rifle for about 6 months. Amazing trigger! This gentleman is correct when he says it’s “above its weight class.” Couldn’t agree more. Highly recommend!
Best trigger I've ever owned!
I personally love the RA LE-145 and own 3 of them. 4.5 lb with a super crisp and sharp reset. For 130 bucks it's damn hard to beat
I have two LE-145 triggers myself and about to buy a third.
@@johnchristian1205 I think the 4.5lb trigger is ideal compared to the lighter ones like the 140 and 130. Sure you could look at it too hard and set the thing off lol but those lighter triggers come with a couple of cons. They don't always reliably detonate harder primers due to the lighter primer strike. When I mod the fcg and bcg out on a new rifle I want something I can trust with my life and the 145 is exactly that.
@@TOO_RAW I'm from Oklahoma and bought these originally to support a local company. After the first test fire of these triggers in my AR15 and AR10 I was thoroughly impressed.
@@johnchristian1205 was thinking of dropping this one in an AR10, any issues running one in yours so far ? I’ve used Rise Triggers with my 5.56/.223 with no issues
@@jasonvaughn1778 had no issues whatsoever.
Ive enjoyed this trigger a lot. I say worth it
It was one of the best upgrades I did on my AR
Love Rise Armament triggers. Absolutely golden for the price. I'm still pretty loyal to that geissele SSA-E though. But if you want a flat trigger that has a similar break to a geissele, get this.
I have this exact trigger in a pcc.
Absolutely 0 take-up. Very crisp. Feels like you broke a tiny glass rod. And 0 over travel. The only complaint I have is the shoe is slippery. It's just a polished finish, so when you shoot fast your finger tends to slip down. If it had some sort of texture on the shoe itself I'd put it in my main rifle.
I got the rise 140 on a whim, it was on sale for like $115. That 3.5 pound pull and quick reset is lovely. So far so good.
I caught the same sale
..nice crisp trigger
Big fan of their Rave140’s too…got a few of them for $80 each back when they first came out, great triggers, great customer service…lots of value at a phenomenal price to say the least.
Me too. And I like both trigger styles, and the price was great, a few years back!
Unless they don’t reset. Which a ton of them don’t.
@@RaymondTusk74 I think you’re thinking of the original RA140 with the tensioning set screws, yea I had one and wasn’t too impressed when it stopped resetting after 4 years. The Rave140s use tensioning springs instead which has prevented the issue. Amongst my family and hunting buddies there are a total of 9 of those rave140 triggers at this point and none have ever had a single issue and most are over 5 years old…I grabbed my first Rave back in 2016. When my old RA140 stopped resetting in my stern defense converted AR-9mm, I called Rise, they mentioned they were aware of the issue and they only asked to see a video clip of the trigger malfunctioning and then without hesitation offered either a replacement or a swap to the newer Rave140 which I gladly took. Much like anything, folks who spent the most will always poopoo the cheaper options, especially when they’re just as good, because how else can they justify wasting all that extra loot? If that’s your game, don’t let me stop you there…but if you haven’t already over-invested for similar functionality, the Rave is comparable to say the least. If you think about it, almost no creep and overtravel on a 3.5lb pull is going to feel similarly great to some of the most expensive triggers available until you start changing one or more of those three important variables. I didn’t mean to make it sound like it’s the best trigger, I just think it’s, by far, one of the best value drop-in triggers for the money :)
What appears to be another upgrade on this model, is that the hammer appears to be nickel teflon, or nickel boron covered. Which allows for smoother operation along the bolt carrier group.
I just put 2 RA 140's in ar308's. Very nice upgrade.
My super inexpensice R 140 from rise is so good i cant imagine how much better the higher ptised ones could be.
I don't have one of these, but if I did, I'd leave my comment here, as Caleb suggested. Instead, I'll not say anything.......
I am in the same boat and completely agree with you. I do not have one of these triggers so I will not be able to comment about it.
I really love my Rise SST.
Nice work Caleb
I have 2 of these. They work great.
Thanks
I have one. Didn’t think it could get featured.
Nice
I just got the Lantac E-ct1 3.5lb Single Stage Trigger flat bar but I don’t know if has that catch to prevent firing now I want to do some research lol
Do you have a video on AR15 Handguards? I have a Magpul Moe handguard with a front sight gas block. I want to get a new barrel and an aluminum free float handguard.
Check out the build series on our website, it covers handguards.
Put a drop in midwest industries handguard. Great quality, great price and looks. They make a picatinny and m-lok version.
Will this work in 300 bo? I've had trouble with double discharges on other upgrade triggers.
You need something a little heavier than 3.5lb to reliably detonate the primers imo. Even with some 5.56 3.5 is the bare minimum for reliable detonation with MOST ammo. Thats exactly why I get the 4.5 over the 3.5. if I'm using it to defend myself I want it to go bang with whatever ammo I feed it.

Rise triggers are high end, they just don’t try to gouge their customers with redicioulasly high prices !!!!!
I have the 535
Not this package. But every other Rise Arm trigger I've had the pleasure of trying have been exceptional. From least expensive to top line. I'm told that only a couple of brands are better. (?). There is always better. So far all the different brands I've been able to sample are pretty much on par with each other, exception being Timeny or any who give the option to adjust it for your liken.
Will that work in the LR-308 or AR-10 platform?
They will definitely work in the LR-308 and I have one in an LR-243. It should work in an AR-10 but I'll let the AR-10 owners speak to that one.

Looks cool. I'm a huge fan of flat triggers. Actually thats all I prefer. Buddy I work with got one. He spent $140 but I don't have a clue as to the model. I done some dry firing with it and it felt like a $90 drop in. That being said I'm a trigger fanatic and, I run either Hiperfire or Geissele triggers. Nothing else, wel, I have 3 binaries. So pulling my buddies trigger paled in comparison to pulling a flat bow Geissele SD3G trigger or a Hiperfire Eclipse trigger. I've shot an insane amount of triggers over the years and nothing feels like a Geissele SD3G trigger. Yes its $220-240ish but worth every penny.
А спуск видемо мягенький.
Rise Armament RA434 trigger is too traditional!
If you need anti walk pins on an AR it wasn't put together correctly.
I would agree when using a mil-spec trigger group. However, with the Rise trigger you don't have the trigger and hammer springs resting on the pins keeping the pins from walking out.
Can you send me one for free? 😁I have zero income and fighting for disability due to me being physically disabled I have nothing nice
THANKS
