Pembie's Glock FRT (FFT Cut V2) – Enhanced Forced Reset Trigger for Glock Pistols
About this product
Pembie's Glock FRT, FFT Cut V2, is a forced reset trigger shoe and bar assembly cut to the Freedom Finger Triggers profile for Glock double-stack pistols. The slide pushes the trigger back to its forward position during cycling, so the shooter can fire the next round without a full manual release, while the pistol's striker, sear, and slide remain untouched and it stays strictly semi-automatic: one round fires per trigger pull, no more, no exceptions, and no way to change that with any adjustment on the trigger itself. This is the second-generation cut of Pembie's Glock design, refined from the original FFT profile after feedback from shooters who ran the first version hard and reported back on where the reset felt inconsistent under rapid strings of fire. Pembie's design work has built a following among shooters who track FRT trigger releases closely, and V2 is the version that answered the most common complaints shooters raised about the original cut.
What is it used for?
It's a trigger-group upgrade for Glock owners who want a faster reset between shots without swapping the whole fire-control group or sending the pistol out for gunsmithing. It's a drop-in part built around the factory trigger pin, not a full internals rebuild, which keeps the install approachable for someone comfortable with basic pistol maintenance rather than requiring a trip to a gunsmith's bench, and most shooters have it in and running in less time than a full cleaning session.
What fits it?
It's compatible with Glock Gen 1 through Gen 5 double-stack frames, including the 17, 19, 22, 23, 26, 27, 31, 32, 34, and 35 and similar models. It does not fit the single-stack 42, 43, 43X, or 48, or the Glock 36, so double check your model number and generation before ordering, since a mismatch means a return and a delay before the correct part is in your hands.
What's new in the V2 cut compared to the original?
V2 reshapes the trigger bar tail for a more consistent reset and uses a slightly lighter shoe than the original FFT cut. It works with either the factory connector or an aftermarket one; a 3.5-pound connector is a common pairing for shooters who also want a lighter overall pull alongside the faster reset, though plenty of shooters run it fine with the factory connector already in their pistol.
How do I install it?
It installs with the factory trigger pin already in your Glock frame, with no frame modification needed. The listing recommends breaking the trigger in with full-power 9mm or .40 ammunition rather than light target loads, so the reset settles into a consistent feel over the first magazine or two.
Does it work in California, and how does it compare to the M&P options?
No, and this matters more here than the platform: forced reset triggers are unlawful in several states, California included, the same restriction that applies to our M&P 2.0 FRT triggers. The mechanism and the legal status don't change based on whether it's built for a Glock or an M&P, so don't assume one platform is treated differently than the other. Review our California gun laws page before ordering; we cannot ship this trigger to a California address under any circumstances, no matter which Glock model it's cut for.
Not available in California
California classifies forced-reset triggers as multiburst trigger activators under Penal Code sections 16930 and 32900. They cannot be sold, shipped or possessed in California, and this remains the case regardless of the current federal position. We cannot ship this item to a California address. Buyers in other states are responsible for confirming their own state and local law before ordering.
