FRT vs Traditional AR-15 Triggers

When comparing FRT triggers with traditional AR-15 triggers, the differences come down to reset speed, feel, and application.

  • Traditional AR triggers reset manually as the shooter releases the trigger.

  • FRT triggers forcibly reset during the recoil cycle using mechanical force.

This forced reset allows shooters to engage targets faster without altering the rifle’s firing classification.

 

FRT advantages:

  • Rapid follow-up shots

  • Consistent trigger feel

  • Ideal for competitions and tactical training

Traditional trigger advantages:

  • Greater availability

  • Simpler design

  • Lower cost

Ultimately, the choice depends on your shooting goals. For speed and performance, FRTs provide a serious edge.
