Overview

Advanced Reset Technology's Walther PDP/PPQ A.R.T. is a metal reset lever rather than a complete replacement trigger. The maker says the handgun's normal slide cycle assists the trigger forward into reset and that each deliberate trigger pull fires one round. The $119.99 kit includes the lever and fitment tools.

The product uses one standardized lever geometry for the PDP/PPQ family, but Advanced Reset Technology also warns that handgun and trigger-shoe tolerances vary. The maker does not publish a variant-by-variant inclusion or exclusion table. Confirm the exact PDP or PPQ host before purchase and use a qualified gunsmith for fitting, safety inspection, and unloaded function checks.

Federal treatment is not settled by the 2025 Rare Breed agreement. The Department of Justice described a settlement condition barring Rare Breed from developing or designing FRTs for pistols, and the agreement addresses eligible Rare Breed rifle devices rather than this grip-fed Walther product. State and local restrictions also operate independently, so buyers need current legal advice before ordering or possessing the kit.
