What are the key features of this trigger?
The Rare Breed FRT Trigger for Glock is engineered to provide a distinct and rapid trigger reset. This design aims to reduce the distance the trigger must travel before it can be pulled again, which can be a factor in follow-up shot timing. The system incorporates internal components that mechanically force the trigger to reset forward after each shot, rather than relying solely on the trigger return spring. This mechanical reset is both tactile and audible, offering clear feedback to the shooter. The trigger shoe itself is designed for a consistent pull and comfortable finger placement, contributing to control during use. It is a complete drop-in assembly, intended to replace the factory trigger and trigger bar in compatible Glock models. The materials chosen, including hardened steel and durable polymers, are selected for longevity and resistance to wear under normal operating conditions. This trigger system is a modification intended for those seeking a specific trigger feel and function from their Glock pistol.
