What Makes the FRT-15L3 (Flat) Special
Having installed hundreds of triggers in my shop, the FRT-15L3 stands out for its mechanical forced reset system. Unlike binary triggers that require two movements per shot, this unit resets automatically while maintaining positive sear engagement. The flat face design gives you better leverage for rapid follow-up shots.
