What is a Forced Reset Trigger (FRT)?
A Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) is a specialized trigger system designed for semi-automatic firearms like the AR-15. Unlike a traditional trigger that requires the shooter to manually release it forward to reset for the next shot, an FRT uses the firearm’s own cycling action to mechanically force the trigger back to its reset position after each round is fired.
This ingenious design means that the trigger physically pushes your finger forward after each shot. The shooter must still pull the trigger for each subsequent round, maintaining the “one pull, one shot” function that defines a semi-automatic firearm. However, by eliminating the split-second delay of a manual reset, the FRT enables a much faster and more rhythmic rate of fire. It’s crucial to distinguish this from a binary trigger, which fires one round on the pull and a second on the release. The FRT only fires when the trigger is pulled, offering a different kind of rapid-fire control.
Why Choose a Forced Reset Trigger?
Upgrading to a forced reset trigger offers a host of benefits that can elevate your shooting:
Unmatched Rate of Fire: Experience a dramatic increase in your speed of follow-up shots. The forced reset mechanism minimizes the time between shots, allowing you to stay on target and deliver rapid, controlled fire.
Enhanced Control and Consistency: The consistent, mechanical reset of an FRT promotes a smoother and more predictable trigger pull. This consistency can lead to improved accuracy during rapid-fire sequences, as you develop a natural rhythm without the variability of a manual reset.
Superior Training Tool: An FRT is excellent for developing muscle memory and trigger discipline under rapid-fire conditions. It helps shooters learn to manage recoil and maintain sight picture when firing quickly.
Ultimate Range Experience: Let’s be honest—FRTs are incredibly fun to shoot. They provide an exhilarating and engaging range day that standard triggers simply cannot match.

FRT vs. Binary Trigger: Which is Right for You?
While both increase rate of fire, they function differently:
Feature
Forced Reset Trigger (FRT)
Binary Trigger
Mechanism
Fires on pull; mechanism forces trigger reset. Shooter must pull again.
Fires one round on pull, second round on release.
Rate of Fire
Very fast, driven by mechanical reset and shooter’s rhythm.
Fast, but limited by shooter’s pull-and-release speed.
Shooter Control
Requires maintaining pressure and rhythm for rapid fire.
Offers control over the timing of the second shot via release.
Ideal For
Shooters seeking the fastest possible semi-auto rate of fire.
Shooters wanting a versatile trigger with a unique two-stage action.
Essential Compatibility and Installation Notes
To ensure your new FRT functions flawlessly, please note the following requirements:
Firearm Platform: Currently, FRTs are primarily engineered for the AR-15 platform.
Lower Receiver: Must be a standard MIL-SPEC AR-15 lower.
Bolt Carrier Group (BCG): A full-auto compatible BCG is required for the mechanism to function properly.
Buffer Weight: For optimal performance and reliability, the use of an H2 or H3 buffer is highly recommended.
Installation is a straightforward drop-in process, but if you are unsure, we always recommend consulting a qualified gunsmith.
