The KRISS Vector runs a proprietary Super V action that translates the bolt down and back instead of straight to the rear, and that single design fact governs everything on this page: no AR-15 forced reset trigger fits a Vector. The six triggers here are all purpose-built for the platform, and none of them fires on its own. Each is a reset-assist device that stays semi-automatic at one round per trigger pull, using the gun's own cycle to drive the trigger forward so your finger resets faster. The picks split cleanly by budget and selector design, from the $250 4130-steel Duality Arms RATL-R down to a $30 roller kit, so the decision is mostly about how much you want to spend and whether you want a third selector position. For the rest of the gun, our KRISS Vector accessories guide covers optics, stocks, magazines, and the suppressor path, and the broader forced reset trigger buyer's guide maps the category across every platform that has one.
Buy by budget and selector layout, because build quality tracks price closely in this niche. The Duality Arms RATL-R ($250) is the pick if you want the most durable body and the most established name; its 4130 steel and included selector cam make it the reference. If you want three positions for under $100, the Continental Customs C.A.R.T. V4 ($94.99) is the value play, and the Dogwood Armory 3-Position FRT is the one you can most reliably find in stock, streeting around $100 to $110 against a $200 MSRP. If you would rather follow a documented, step-by-step install, the NSPEC Mongoose ($84.99) ships with the most thorough polish-and-grease instructions in the category. The Duality Arms Mamba ($150) is the simple two-position choice that keeps your factory selector cam untouched, and the EP Armory BRRRT (about $30) is the cheapest way in if you do not mind the most hands-on install.

Six dedicated Vector triggers cover the entire budget, from a $30 roller kit to a $250 steel flagship. The ranking weighs four things: build material, selector design, install effort, and what you can actually buy right now. Every one of them is a reset-assist device that keeps the gun semi-automatic, so the differences that matter are durability, whether you get a third selector position, and how much polishing and break-in the install demands.
Best Overall - The most durable and most established Vector reset-assist trigger, with a 4130 steel body and an included cam that adds a third selector position
Best Value - A 304 stainless three-position trigger under $100 that ships with two sears to absorb the Vector's fire-control tolerance variance
Best Availability - A Wiseman-designed machined three-position cam stocked at multiple retailers, so it is the easiest of these to actually find in stock
Best Documented Install - Stainless construction from a Vector fire-control specialist, with the most thorough polish-and-grease install documentation in the category
Best Simple Two-Position - Keeps the factory selector cam for a clean Safe or Mamba setup with the simplest install of any Duality Vector trigger
Cheapest Entry - A roller-and-spring reset-assist device for about $30 that fits every generation, at the cost of the most hands-on install and break-in

A standard AR-15 forced reset trigger cannot work in a KRISS Vector because the Vector does not have an AR fire control group. The Super V system is a delayed-blowback action that drives the bolt and carrier down and back on an angled track rather than straight to the rear, and the fire-control geometry it operates has nothing in common with an AR receiver. That is why every trigger on this page is platform-specific: they are engineered around the Vector's own cycling, not adapted from an AR part.
All six work on the same principle. During the firing cycle the bolt interacts with the trigger to push it forward into reset, which shortens the distance your finger has to travel and speeds up follow-up shots. The shooter still fires every round with a deliberate press: one pull, one shot. The devices assist the reset rather than fire the gun for you, which is what keeps them semi-automatic. If you are comparing this to the reset-assist landscape on other pistol-caliber and 9mm platforms, our AR9 forced reset build guide covers blowback tuning fundamentals, and the FN PS90 FRT guide is the closest sibling, another non-AR PCC that takes a dedicated reset-assist trigger rather than an AR drop-in.
Reset-assist trigger updates, Vector upgrade picks, and PCC accessory reviews when they matter.
The biggest layout decision is whether you want a third selector position, and it changes the install. The Duality Arms RATL-R, Continental Customs C.A.R.T. V4, and Dogwood Armory FRT are three-position designs: they add a dedicated reset-assist position on top of Safe and Semi. The RATL-R gets there by swapping in an included selector cam, so its install replaces the factory cam. The Dogwood FRT uses a fully machined cam of the Wiseman Industries design, and the Continental Customs V4 pairs its 3-position cam with two sears so it can absorb the fire-control tolerance variance between Vectors.
The Duality Arms Mamba is the deliberate exception. It is a two-position setup, Safe or Mamba, and it keeps your factory selector cam in place: there is no cam swap, no shim, and no safety-bar-block removal during install. That makes it the simplest install of the Duality options, and the pick if you want reset-assist speed without touching the selector hardware. The trade is that you pay $150 and give up the third position that the cheaper three-position triggers include. Either way, none of these overrides a safety or fires on its own.
A Vector reset-assist trigger install is friction-sensitive, so the polish-and-grease step is not optional busywork; it is what makes the trigger reset reliably. The Super V action is drag-sensitive by nature, and every one of these devices adds a contact surface inside the fire control group that has to overcome friction on each cycle. Get the contact points smooth and properly lubricated and the reset is consistent. Skip it and the trigger short-strokes or resets unevenly, which is the single most common complaint on these parts.
NSPEC ships the most thorough documentation for the Mongoose: polish the bolt lugs, the Mongoose part itself, and the action rail guides, run high-temp grease or ATF-4 on the contact surfaces, and expect roughly 350 rounds of break-in with heavy lubrication before it settles in. The EP Armory BRRRT roller kit lists about 150 rounds of break-in plus bolt-lug polishing and lubrication, and because its roller is a wear item, plan on replacing it eventually. Gen1 owners have the most work: the BRRRT install on a Gen1 means pulling the top rail and setting travel to about 1/16 inch, and the RATL-R, Continental Customs C.A.R.T., Mongoose, and Dogwood FRT all need an upgraded Gen2 fire control group before they will run in a Gen1 gun. Duality also recommends 9mm RATL-R owners step the mainspring up from the 9mm to the 10mm spring so the trigger resets consistently under the added drag. Any device you add to the fire control group voids the KRISS factory warranty, so go in knowing that. To see how a trigger swap fits into a full Vector build alongside optics, a stock, and a can, plan it in our rifle builder.
These are reset-assist devices that keep the firearm semi-automatic at one round per trigger pull, and forced-reset trigger legality is state-specific and still changing. The makers handle this by refusing to ship to states that restrict the category. Duality Arms, for example, will not ship to roughly 17 jurisdictions, including California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Washington. Treat any maker's no-ship list as a starting point, not the final word.
Verify current federal, state, and local law for your jurisdiction before you order, because this category has moved repeatedly and can move again. If your state restricts forced-reset or reset-assist triggers, do not buy one. Once you've confirmed you're clear, the picks above are ranked so the first one that ships to your state is your answer.
