Velocity Triggers

What Velocity Triggers does

Velocity Triggers, operating under parent T Vehr Manufacturing LLC (dba Velocity Precision Engineering), designs and manufactures precision drop-in triggers and accessories for AR-15, AR-10, Ruger 10/22, and pistol caliber carbine platforms from its Phoenix, Arizona facility. The catalog centers on two trigger families - the MPC (Marksman Performance Choice) match-grade single-stage triggers at $214.95 and the Classic curved and straight triggers at $164.95-$174.95 - each offered in multiple pull weights and shoe configurations. Supporting products include a patent-pending Recoil-less Bolt Carrier Group ($224.95-$324.95), adjustable gas blocks, red dot mounts, Ruger 10/22 trigger kits, magazine releases, trigger guards, and the newly launched M-LOK Caliber ID Tags. All components are manufactured domestically using EDM wire technology on tool steel and finished with proprietary Armor Lube DLC and Nickel Teflon coatings.

The company sells through a dual channel: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce site (velocitytriggers.com) and a US dealer network with no minimum orders, supplemented by an OEM compatibility footprint that includes Daniel Defense, FN America, Sig Sauer, Colt, Aero Precision, Palmetto State Armory, LWRCI, DPMS, Windham Weaponry, and Ruger. Pricing is fully transparent on the website, with volume discounts on select accessories and a Service Member Discount Program offering 15-25% off for active military, law enforcement, fire personnel, and certified NRA instructors.

Founded in 2008 by Tom Vehr, who previously ran trigger production at Timney Triggers for 14 years and at Knight Rifles for 13 years (producing roughly 500,000 trigger assemblies), Velocity Triggers is privately held and entirely founder-owned with no disclosed institutional capital. The company emphasizes "100% Made in America" manufacturing, drop-in installation that requires no gunsmithing, and a lifetime warranty on manufacturing defects as its primary differentiators versus higher-priced premium trigger brands.

Product overview

Velocity Triggers (Velocity Precision Engineering) is a Phoenix, AZ-based manufacturer of precision firearm triggers and accessories, primarily serving the AR-15/AR-10 platform market. The company was founded by Tom Vehr, who has over 40 years of experience in trigger manufacturing (including 14 years at Timney Triggers and 13 years at Knight Rifles). The core product line consists of AR-15 drop-in triggers available in two main series: MPC (Marksman Performance Choice) triggers featuring a wider 3/8 inch trigger shoe for enhanced tactile feel ($214.95), and Classic triggers with traditional designs ($164.95-$174.95). Both series offer multiple configurations including curved, straight, and straight with finger stop variants, with pull weights ranging from 3lb to 4.5lb. Specialized variants include 9MM/PCC triggers for pistol caliber carbines and steel-cased ammunition triggers. Supporting the trigger line, the company offers the Recoil-less Bolt Carrier (patent pending, $224.95-$324.95) designed to work synergistically with their Adjustable Gas Block ($59.95) for reduced recoil performance. Additional product categories include Ruger 10/22 trigger kits ($124.95-$149.95), M-LOK Caliber ID Tags ($19.95), QD End Plates ($25.95), Red Dot Mounts for Glock and Smith & Wesson pistols ($54.95), Sentinel Trigger Guards ($16.95-$19.95), and magazine releases ($23.95-$26.95).

• Timney Triggers: Long-established trigger manufacturer founded in 1946, producing drop-in AR-15 triggers and triggers for rifles, pistols, and shotguns. Direct competitor across multiple firearm platforms. Notably, Tom Vehr (Velocity's founder) spent 14 years at Timney, so the two companies share direct technical lineage.
• Geissele Automatics: Premium manufacturer of AR-15 triggers and firearms components. The leading premium-priced direct competitor to Velocity Triggers, with strong brand recognition and deep OEM/defense relationships. Directly comparable product lines (SSA, SSA-E, SD-E, etc.) targeting the same AR-platform DIY consumer.
• Hiperfire: Manufacturer of AR-15 drop-in triggers with adjustable pull weights, marketed to competitive shooters and duty users. Direct competitor in the DIY trigger market, particularly to Velocity's adjustable-pull-weight offerings.
• TriggerTech: Manufacturer of innovative Frictionless Release Technology triggers for AR-15, bolt-action rifles, and shotguns. Direct competitor in the AR-15 drop-in trigger market, with a distinct technology angle and premium positioning that competes for the same DIY consumer and OEM specifications.
• JP Enterprises: Manufacturer of precision AR-15 rifles, triggers, bolt carriers, and accessories with a strong reputation among competitive shooters. Comparable to Velocity across triggers and bolt carrier product lines, with broader rifle platform involvement.
• Rise Armament: Manufacturer of AR-15 triggers, bolt carriers, and firearms components with strong direct-to-consumer and dealer channels. Direct competitor to Velocity across the AR-platform product range, including drop-in triggers at similar price points ($200-$300 range).
• ALG Defense: Manufacturer of AR-15 components including the widely adopted ALG ACT (Advanced Combat Trigger). Direct competitor in the mil-spec/entry-level trigger market, with strong OEM relationships and dealer distribution that overlaps with Velocity's go-to-market.
• Elftmann Tactical: Manufacturer of precision AR-15 triggers and bolt carriers, including the widely used ELF 3-Gun trigger. Direct competitor in the precision drop-in trigger market, with strong 3-gun competition shooter positioning that overlaps with Velocity's competitive shooter customer segment.

Broad incumbents
