CMC Trigger Systems
About CMC Triggers
CMC Triggers was founded in 2003 by legendary gunsmith and firearms innovator Chip McCormick, who revolutionized the aftermarket trigger industry.
The company was established around the groundbreaking concept of manufacturing the industry's first "drop-in" trigger system for AR-15/10 rifles.
In 2012, Jack Biegel and his wife acquired the company from Chip McCormick, bringing 49 years of manufacturing experience from aerospace, oilfield, and medical industries.
CMC Triggers has served hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers since inception and has become the industry standard for self-contained trigger systems.
Today, this Texas-based, family-owned company continues to expand their product lines while maintaining their commitment to precision engineering and innovation.
