Key Features
This isn’t just another trigger. The Glock 43X FRT Trigger Kit is a purpose-built system designed to replace the factory trigger assembly. In our hands, the construction feels durable and well-machined, exactly as the manufacturer advertises. The core function is a forced reset mechanism, which allows for a rapid firing cycle by utilizing the firearm’s recoil to assist in resetting the trigger. It’s a mechanical upgrade that changes the feel and potential of your 43X. Our staff’s observation after installing these on multiple frames was clear: “Drop-in fit on every frame we tested. No fitting required.” That reliability out of the box is a major point in its favor.

- Packaged securely in a hard case for storage and transport.
❌ Cons:
- At $279.99, it’s a significant investment compared to a standard trigger polish job.

Who Should Buy This?
Buy this if: You own a Glock 43X and are specifically seeking a forced reset trigger mechanism. You want a complete, high-quality kit that installs without hassle, and you value the consistent fit and finish we’ve confirmed in our handling. You understand the associated legal considerations.
Skip this if: You are looking for a simple weight reduction or crisper break on a traditional trigger (a standard aftermarket trigger is better suited). You are on a tight budget. You are unfamiliar with or unable to legally possess a forced reset trigger in your area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a drop-in install for the Glock 43X?
Yes. In our testing on multiple frames, the kit installed without any need for fitting or gunsmithing. It uses the factory trigger housing and is designed as a direct replacement.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes a trigger shoe, trigger bar, connector, safety plunger, all related springs, and necessary pins. It’s a complete assembly to replace the factory trigger components.
Does this work on a Glock 48 or standard Glock 43?
This specific kit is designed for the Glock 43X. The 43X and Glock 48 share a frame, so it is typically compatible with the 48 as well. It is NOT designed for the standard Glock 43, which has a different trigger bar.
How does the trigger pull and reset feel?
The pull weight remains similar to factory, but the reset is forced forward by the slide’s movement during recoil. This creates a very short, mechanical reset that allows for a faster firing cycle compared to manually releasing the trigger.
Is this legal where I live?
Laws regarding forced reset triggers (FRTs) vary significantly by state and local jurisdiction. It is the purchaser’s sole responsibility to research, understand, and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws before ordering.
