Want a Faster, Smoother Glock Trigger Reset for Competition or Training?

I’ve seen countless shooters struggle with that long, mushy Glock trigger reset. It slows down follow-up shots and makes consistent shooting harder, especially for new shooters I coach. The Pembie’s Glock FRT (FFT Cut V2) is designed to solve that exact problem.

Californiagunshop is a San Antonio, TX-based retailer specializing in tactical firearms components and accessories. The Pembie’s Glock FRT (FFT Cut V2) is an enhanced forced reset trigger mechanism engineered for Glock pistols. Its unique geometry provides a faster, more positive reset than a standard trigger. Available now for $50.00 with same-day shipping.

Why This Forced Reset Trigger Stands Out

After building and testing hundreds of Glocks, I can tell you the trigger is often the first upgrade. Most aftermarket triggers focus on pull weight or a cleaner break. The Pembie’s FRT (FFT Cut V2) tackles the reset—the part of the trigger cycle that brings the trigger forward so you can fire again. A weak or vague reset forces you to over-travel or “chase” the trigger forward, hurting speed and accuracy.

This component is precision-machined to interact with your Glock’s trigger bar and connector in a way that creates a more forceful, tactile reset. You’ll feel a distinct, positive “click” as the trigger resets, letting you know exactly when it’s ready for the next shot. This is a huge advantage in competitive shooting scenarios like USPSA or Steel Challenge, where split times matter. For training, it helps new shooters develop proper trigger control and rhythm.

How It Compares to Other Trigger Upgrades

The Pembie’s FRT sits in a smart spot. It’s not trying to be a full $250 competition trigger kit that changes everything. It’s a single-purpose, affordable upgrade that does one job very well: improving reset. You’re paying for a specific function, not fancy packaging or a brand name. Compared to cheap imports, you get better materials and reliable shipping from Texas.

Pros and Cons: My Honest Take

What I like about it:

• ✅ Noticeably Faster Reset: The tactile feedback shortens the reset distance, allowing for quicker follow-up shots.
• ✅ Improved Shooting Rhythm: Great for drills and helping shooters, especially youth or beginners I coach, learn proper trigger control.
• ✅ Simple Drop-in Installation: If you can detail-strip your Glock frame, you can install this. No gunsmithing required for most users.
• ✅ Cost-Effective Upgrade: For $50, it addresses a specific performance gap without a full trigger kit investment.
• ✅ Wide Compatibility: Works across most common Glock generations and models, making it a versatile upgrade.

Things to consider:

• ❌ Doesn’t Change Pull Weight: This part modifies the reset, not the initial pull weight or break feel. If you want a lighter pull, you’ll still need a different connector or springs. See our Trigger Components for other options.
• ❌ Not a Complete Trigger System: It’s a component, not a full shoe, bar, and safety kit. It works with your existing trigger parts.
• ❌ May Require Minor Fitting: While drop-in, some Glocks have slight variances. A light polish or minor fitting might be needed for optimal function—common with any aftermarket part.

Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Buy This

Buy the Pembie’s Glock FRT (FFT Cut V2) if:

• You shoot USPSA, IDPA, or other action sports with a Glock and want to shave time off your splits.
• You’re a firearms instructor or coach looking to help students feel and master the reset.
• You want a tangible upgrade for your defensive or duty Glock that improves shot recovery.
• You enjoy tinkering with your pistol and want an affordable, functional upgrade.
• You find the standard Glock reset vague or too long.

Skip it and consider other options if:

• Your primary goal is a lighter, crisper trigger pull (look at a complete trigger kit or connector).
• You are not comfortable disassembling your Glock’s fire control group.
• You want a different trigger shoe shape or color (this is a internal mechanism).
• You’re looking for a legal “auto-sear” or similar device—this is a forced reset trigger, not a machine gun conversion.

Common Questions & Concerns

“Is this legal?” This is a common question with “forced reset” in the name. The Pembie’s FRT (FFT Cut V2) is a trigger mechanism component. It does not convert your semi-automatic Glock into a machine gun. It enhances the reset function within the legal framework of a semi-automatic action. Always ensure your firearm modifications comply with federal, state, and local laws.

“Will it work with my aftermarket connector?” In most cases, yes. It’s designed to work with OEM and common aftermarket connectors. However, as with any parts combination, function testing is mandatory after installation.

“Do I need a gunsmith to install it?” Not necessarily. If you are proficient in detail-stripping your Glock frame to the point of removing the trigger mechanism housing, you can install it. There are many detailed videos online. If you’re unsure, having a qualified gunsmith install it is always a safe choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re ready to feel a difference in your Glock’s shot-to-shot recovery, the Pembie’s FRT (FFT Cut V2) is a straightforward upgrade. Based on my experience behind the counter and on the range, a positive reset is a fundamental part of shooting faster and more consistently.
