RISE Armament Blitz Trigger

The latest in RISE’s line of drop-in AR triggers, the Blitz packs incredible speed and performance at a surprising price.

Broken Arrow, Oklahoma –— RISE Armament, a premier manufacturer and supplier of triggers, components, and firearms, announces the release of the all-new Blitz drop-in AR trigger—an exceptionally fast, high-performance addition to the company’s trigger lineup.

The Blitz boasts a re-engineered design that results in unparalleled reliability coupled with simple, speedy installation.

“When we set out to design the Blitz, we wanted to give customers what they love most about RISE triggers—reliability, performance, and value—and then take things up a notch,” said Matt Torres, president of RISE Armament. “We retained the core elements that make our other triggers remarkable and then refined the drop-in trigger system to make the Blitz even easier and faster to install to give customers the best experience possible.”

The Blitz has virtually no creep, a 3.0–3.5-pound pull, and an incredibly crisp break to help shooters stay on target. It has a Quik-Klik™ reset you to feel and hear and minimal overtravel for extremely rapid follow-up shots. Its hybrid trigger blade combines the best aspects of curved and flat triggers, providing comfort, control, and speed.

The interior parts of the Blitz trigger are made from S7 tool steel with heavy-hit hardening followed by a black nitride finish for enhanced strength and corrosion resistance. Its LiteMite™ hammer reduces weight while packing a powerful punch. The RISE NoWay Take-Up™ prevents movement prior to engaging the sear, so trigger movement begins with the pull required to move and actuate the sear to release the hammer.

Like all RISE triggers, the Blitz is precision machined with handcrafted fine-tuning, and each trigger is individually inspected. The aluminum housing adds enhanced durability over punch-tin–style housings.

Installation is simple with no set screws to tighten, and the Blitz includes free anti-walk trigger pins for secure installation.

The Blitz fits AR-style platforms built to mil-spec dimensions—calibers include .223/5.56, .308, 6.5, 9MM, and more, making it an excellent option for PCCs. It is backed by the RISE “More-Bang-for-Your-Buck” Performance Guarantee and RISE Lifetime Warranty.

The Blitz trigger will be available in February; MSRP is $199.
