The Radian VERTEX Trigger was conceived with functional ergonomics at the center of the design philosophy. The trigger bow is positioned forward of the traditional bow location, enhancing the shooter’s ability to make a straight-back trigger break, and reducing potential for “left and down” or “right and down” trigger pull. The bow features a distinct angular position, facilitating repeatable positioning for your trigger finger. The net result of the design is a more consistent, accurate, and more comfortable shooting experience.
The VERTEX Trigger is available in single configuration and features a true 3.5 pound zero-creep break, extremely short overtravel and a short, tactile reset. It is compatible with the AR15 platform, with a design that prevents pin walkout even when using standard hammer and trigger pins. Its use is appropriate for various applications, including long-range, competition, or combat.

Live Ammunition Testing at Range: Once TESTS 1 thru 4 have been successfully passed without ammunition, you can begin using ammunition at a range. Start with one round and slowly increase the number of live rounds in your magazine.
Lubrication: VERTEX-CBX or FBX Triggers can operate dry because of Triggertech’s patented technology. Any oil can be used, but it is recommended to be cleaned regularly.
Cleaning: The best way to clean a VERTEX-CBX or FBX trigger is with compressed air or a grease cutting agent that does not leave residue. We recommend lighter fluid, letting it dry, and blowing with compressed air.
