Why This RARE BREED FRT-15 E3 Trigger Stands Out

In my time as an armorer, I’ve seen all kinds of aftermarket triggers come and go. Many promise a lot but deliver inconsistency. What I appreciate about this RARE BREED FRT-15 E3 Forced Reset Trigger for Glock Pistols is its focus on a specific mechanical improvement: the reset. A forced reset mechanism actively pushes the trigger forward after each shot, reducing the distance your finger needs to travel to fire the next round. This isn’t about making the pull lighter; it’s about making the action faster and more efficient. For competitive shooters I coach or anyone focused on rapid, controlled pairs, that mechanical advantage is tangible. It’s the kind of upgrade you notice immediately on the range, especially when you’re working on drills that emphasize speed and recovery.

What I Like and What You Should Consider

Pros:

• ✅ Enhanced Reset: The forced reset mechanism is effective and provides a tangible speed advantage for follow-up shots.
• ✅ Reliability Focus: The E3 model addresses known issues from earlier designs, aiming for smoother operation.
• ✅ Solid Construction: CNC-machined steel components inspire confidence for long-term use.
• ✅ Competitive Edge: For action pistol or other timed competitions, the reduced reset travel can shave precious tenths of a second.
• ✅ Clear Purpose: It does one job—improving reset—and does it well without unnecessary complexity.

Cons:

• ❌ Installation Knowledge Required: This is not a beginner’s part. Proper installation is critical for safety and function. If you’re new to Glock internals, consider professional installation.
• ❌ Not a ‘Lighter Pull’ Trigger: If your primary goal is simply a lighter, crisper break, a traditional performance trigger might be a better fit. See our trigger category for alternatives focused on pull weight.
• ❌ Legal Landscape: As with any specialized trigger, always verify current federal, state, and local laws regarding its use and installation. Responsibility rests with the purchaser.

Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Buy This Trigger

Buy it if: You’re an experienced Glock owner comfortable with detailed disassembly. You compete in shooting sports where split times matter. You understand and want the specific mechanical benefit of a forced reset. You prioritize functional upgrades for tactical or competitive use.

Skip it if: You’re a new shooter still mastering fundamentals. You’re looking for a simple ‘light pull’ upgrade. You’re not comfortable or legally able to modify your firearm’s fire control group. You prefer a more traditional, predictable trigger feel. For those users, our standard performance triggers might be a more suitable starting point.

Common Questions and Concerns

Q: Is this trigger difficult to install?
A> It requires detailed knowledge of your Glock’s fire control group. If you’ve never detail-stripped your frame, I’d recommend having a qualified gunsmith do the installation. Safety is paramount.

Q: Will this make my Glock fire faster automatically?
A> No. It is a semi-automatic trigger. The forced reset reduces the physical distance and effort for your finger to prepare for the next shot, but you must release and press for each round fired.

Q: Is it reliable for defensive use?
A> The design aims for reliability, but any aftermarket part introduces variables. I always advise extensive testing with your chosen defense ammunition (200+ rounds minimum) before trusting any modification for that role.

Q: Does it work with all Glock models?
A> It’s designed for Gen 3-5 models, but always double-check compatibility with your specific model (e.g., G17, G19, G45) before purchasing.

Q: How does the feel compare to a stock Glock trigger?
A> The break and pull weight may feel similar to a broken-in stock trigger. The major difference is in the reset—it’s more positive and requires less finger movement to re-engage.
