Every FRT and Super Safety Brand Compared (2026)

The forced reset market is no longer one company with one product. Since the May 2025 Department of Justice settlement the category has broadened quickly, and anyone shopping for an frt trigger now faces six or seven manufacturers with genuinely different designs. This is a plain map of the field.

Rare Breed Triggers

The originator and still the reference point. The FRT-15 platform was the device at the centre of NAGR v. Garland, and the current flagship is the rare breed frt-15l3, a three-position cassette for MIL-SPEC AR-15 lowers with anti-walk pins included. Rare Breed also builds HK-specific variants: the MR3 for the MR223 and MR556, and the frt-rd3 for roller-delayed MP5, MP5K, SP5 and SP5K hosts.

These sit at the top of the price range. What the money buys is the design that survived the litigation and manufacturing tolerances that are genuinely tighter than most of the field.

AS Designs — the ARC-Fire

AS Designs took the selector route rather than the cassette route. The ARC-Fire is an ambidextrous active reset kit that retains the existing trigger and replaces the safety selector. It is meaningfully cheaper than a full cassette and, being ambidextrous, is one of few options that serves left-handed shooters properly out of the box. Fitting is straightforward but demands attention to disconnector clearance — the arc fire trigger install process is not identical to dropping in a cassette.

Atrius Development — the Super Selektor

Atrius builds a forced reset selector with an ambidextrous safety. It occupies similar ground to the ARC-Fire but uses a different cam profile and publishes a compatibility list. For anyone already running a known aftermarket trigger, the super selektor trigger compatibility notes are worth reading before ordering rather than afterwards.

Freedom Finger Triggers

Freedom Finger went where nobody else did: rimfire pistols. The 22TY is a stainless steel drop-in module for the Taurus TX22 and is close to the only credible forced reset option on that platform. Installation is genuinely simple; the freedom finger triggers tx22 install takes under ten minutes with a trigger pin punch and no fitting of the host pistol.

Delta Team Tactical

Delta Team assembles complete three-position packages with ambidextrous selectors and anti-walk pins in one box, aimed at buyers who would rather not source a selector and a cassette separately. The frt 3 position trigger configuration is the common request, and the ambidextrous geometry is properly mirrored rather than an afterthought on the left side.

Dorin Technologies

Dorin's X-PRT 90, originally marketed as the FRT90, is a cross progressive reset module built specifically for the FN PS90. The bullpup architecture and top-loading magazine mean no AR-pattern trigger will physically fit, so this is a platform-specific solution rather than an adaptation of something else.

Advanced Reset Technology

A.R.T. makes the outlier: a drop-in active reset system for Generation 4 Glock handguns, where the mechanism ties to slide travel instead of a bolt carrier. It is the only credible route to a forced reset trigger glock configuration on a striker-fired pistol, and it fits Gen 4 frames only — not Gen 3, Gen 5 or Gen 5 MOS.

The Super Safety family

Super Safety describes a design approach rather than a single manufacturer, and several shops produce kits to the pattern. Listings under super safety triggers typically cover an AR-15 D2 steel flat-face kit, an ak-47 super safety kit for AK-pattern rifles, and an MP5 three-position unit. These are the budget entry point into one-pull-one-round behaviour. D2 tool steel holds up well provided it gets a light dry-film lubricant on first install.

Choosing

Start with the host platform, which eliminates most of the field immediately. Then decide whether the existing trigger is staying — if yes, the shortlist is selector kits; if no, it is cassettes. Then decide whether three positions matter. Price is the last question rather than the first, because a cheap kit that does not fit the platform is not cheap.

Information only — not legal advice. Forced reset triggers are lawful under federal law following the May 2025 Department of Justice settlement, but fifteen states and the District of Columbia prohibit them outright and Florida and Virginia are legally contested. Verify the law in your state before purchasing or possessing any rate-of-fire device.
