FRT Compatible Guns 2026: Every Platform With a Forced Reset Trigger

A forced reset trigger works on any semi-automatic firearm with a reciprocating bolt or carrier and a fire-control pocket the device physically fits. That mechanism is the whole gate. The bolt or carrier travels rearward under recoil, and the FRT harnesses that travel to drive the trigger forward against your finger, forcing the reset at cyclic speed instead of waiting for you to release. A revolver, a pump shotgun, and a lever gun have no reciprocating carrier to tap, so no forced reset trigger can ever work on them.

Within the semi-auto world, availability comes down to whether a maker actually cuts a unit for that host. The AR-15 has a dozen because its fire-control pocket is standardized and the market is huge. Everything else has a handful at most, built by small shops around each platform’s specific geometry. The matrix below maps every gun with a forced reset trigger made for it. For the deeper mechanics, pricing, and the super-safety-versus-full-trigger decision, our forced reset trigger buyer’s guide is the companion hub to this platform map.

The AR-15 is the best gun for an FRT and the platform with the most choices, because its standardized fire-control pocket lets a self-contained cassette drop straight in. The Triggered Company Disruptor ($299.99, formerly the Partisan Disruptor) is the most proven full trigger, tested past 6,000 rounds, and the Rare Breed FRT-15L3 ($450) is the original design with an ambidextrous selector and full hardware kit. Both need a full-auto-compatible bolt carrier and an H2 buffer minimum, H3 under a 16-inch barrel. If you would rather keep the trigger you already run, the selector path uses a super safety instead: the AS Designs Arc-Fire V2 ($249.99) moves across 10-plus platforms and the Mars Super Safety ($139) is the cheapest way in. Our super safety guide covers the selector side in full.

The AR family stretches past 5.56. A 9mm AR runs a forced reset trigger only on a tuned blowback build, detailed in our AR9 FRT build guide. The AR-10 has no .308-rated trigger of its own; Rare Breed lists the platform as unsupported and The Triggered Company lists it as coming soon. Some builders run an AR-15 FRT off-label in an LR-308 lower with an M16-profile .308 carrier, an at-your-own-risk build no maker supports or warranties, covered honestly in the AR-10 FRT build guide. And a dedicated .22LR upper turns an AR into a cheap-to-feed forced reset trainer with a trip kit, spelled out in the AR22 FRT build guide. The PSA JAKL, a side-charging piston AR, takes the Arc-Fire V2 selector plus a JAKL-15 slip trip kit; see our PSA JAKL upgrades guide. Stage any of these hosts in our rifle builder to plan the BCG, buffer, and spring stack before you order.

The AK and the SKS both take forced reset triggers built around their own fire-control geometry, not an adapted AR unit. On the AK the pick is the MaRs Spring-Loaded AK FRT V2, which drops into stamped AKM, Draco pistol, and pattern receivers; our AK forced reset triggers guide covers fitment across the variants. The Norinco SKS runs the Texas Trigger USA Norinco SKS FRT, the one purpose-built option for that rifle, detailed in our SKS forced reset trigger guide. Both are rifle-style hosts where the magazine feeds forward of the trigger-hand grip, so they sit on the settled federal side of the forced reset line.

Pistol-caliber subguns are a rich FRT field once you get past the AR. The HK MP5 leads it with the Rare Breed FRT-RD3 ($620) and the Mars MP5 complete lower ($599.95), both covered in our MP5 forced reset triggers guide. The KRISS Vector runs a dedicated Super V reset-assist unit, the Duality Arms RATL-R ($250) or the Continental Customs C.A.R.T. V4 ($94.99), not an AR FRT; see our KRISS Vector FRT guide. The classic MAC-10 and MAC-11 take fitted parts like the 3DP Tactical Solutions unit ($150) and the A.R.T. 3-Position ($264.99, MPA only), covered in our MAC-10 and MAC-11 FRT guide.

Two more subguns round out this field. The FN PS90, the 5.7x28 bullpup carbine, runs the Dorin XPRT90 ($450) or the Duality Arms RATL-R ($250), detailed in our PS90 FRT guide. The Grand Power Stribog needs an AR-FCG lower conversion before a Partisan Disruptor will run, a machining project rather than a drop in, walked through in our Stribog FRT build guide. The Beretta Cx4 Storm has exactly one option, the Brello Solutions Cx4 Storm FRT ($139.99), which rides a notch you cut into the bolt; see our Cx4 Storm FRT guide. The CZ Scorpion is the notable gap: no forced reset trigger ships for it yet, and our CZ Scorpion FRT status page tracks the announced-but-unshipped Rare Breed FRT-SC3.

Rimfire is where forced reset shooting gets cheap. The Ruger 10/22 and PC Carbine both take Mars kits, the Mars 10/22 FRT and the Mars PC9 FRT, so a .22LR plinker or a 9mm carbine can run the same forced reset feel at a fraction of 5.56 cost per round; our Ruger forced reset triggers guide covers both hosts. The Taurus TX22, the .22LR pistol, runs the MaRs Pulse22 ($25), the cheapest forced reset device on this entire page, covered in our TX22 FRT guide. On the AR side of rimfire, the factory Tippmann M4-22 ELITE FRT ships as a turn-key .22LR rifle with the FRT-15L3 pre-fitted, no build required.

Handguns can take forced reset triggers, and several do, but treat them as flat-range novelties rather than carry or duty setups. The Glock runs the Texas Trigger USA Glock FRT ($95), with a Gen 5 needing a Gen 4 slide release; the fitment is generation-sensitive, so our Glock FRT guide is the one to read before buying. The Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 has three options, the Wojtek ($150), Dogwood ($200), and Freedom Finger ($202.50), compared in our M&P forced reset triggers guide. The Canik TP9 and METE take the Texas Trigger USA Canik FRT, in our Canik FRT guide. The 1911 and 2011 use a hammer-strut swap instead of a trigger cassette, with the Texas Trigger USA 1911/2011 ($60) and Redacted TRX1911 ($89) leading, covered in our 1911 FRT guide.

The legal footing under these pistol kits is thinner than the rifle side. The 2025 DOJ settlement that resolved the Rare Breed litigation treated the one-round-per-function mechanism as a semi-automatic trigger on rifle-style long guns, where the magazine feeds forward of the trigger-hand grip. It did not cleanly extend to grip-fed handguns, and under the settlement Rare Breed agreed not to build forced reset triggers for any pistol. Other makers ship Glock, M&P, Canik, and TX22 kits now, but their status is less settled, so confirm current federal and state law before ordering a handgun FRT.

You no longer have to build a forced reset gun from parts. A short but growing list of firearms now ships from the factory with the FRT pre-installed, so you buy one serialized product and skip the trip kit, buffer tuning, and fitment guesswork. The Tippmann M4-22 ELITE FRT is the clearest example, a turn-key .22LR rifle with a Rare Breed FRT-15L3 fitted at the factory. Our factory FRT guns roundup tracks every gun that ships forced-reset-ready out of the box.

Some of the most-searched hosts simply have no forced reset trigger made for them, and the reasons split into two kinds. The first is mechanical: revolvers, pump shotguns, and lever guns have no reciprocating bolt or carrier to drive a reset, so a forced reset trigger is physically impossible on them, full stop. No maker can engineer around that.

The second is a market gap on guns that could take one but do not have a shipping option. The AR-10 has no .308-rated FRT; makers list the platform as unsupported, and the off-label AR-15-unit workaround carries no manufacturer support. The CZ Scorpion has none shipping despite an announced Rare Breed FRT-SC3. The Springfield Hellion, a bullpup, has no forced reset trigger made for its rearward fire-control linkage. The Glock 44 in .22LR is excluded by every Glock FRT kit on the market, and the Taurus RPC, a newer pistol, has no maker cutting a unit for it. If your gun is on this list, the honest answer is to pick a different host rather than force a fit that does not exist.

At the federal level, eligible forced reset triggers covered by the May 2025 DOJ settlement are not being treated as machine guns, so they are not NFA items: no tax stamp, no Form 4, and no ATF wait. That resolved the litigation over Rare Breed FRTs and put rifle-style hosts like the AR-15, AK, MP5, and PS90 on settled federal ground. Handgun FRTs are grayer, because the settlement had Rare Breed agree not to build forced reset triggers for pistols, which leaves the Glock, M&P, Canik, and TX22 kits on less-settled footing than the rifle devices.

The bigger catch is that state law varies, and a federal green light does not override a state ban. Sixteen jurisdictions restrict, ban, or cloud forced reset triggers under bump-stock or rate-of-fire statutes: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Washington D.C., plus Florida, where the bump-fire-stock statute is untested against FRTs and makers decline shipments. This roster moves, so verify current state and local law before buying or installing any FRT. Our forced reset trigger buyer’s guide tracks the federal picture and the state-by-state roster in more detail.
