Glock FRT Triggers: Generation-by-Generation Compatibility and Which One to Buy
The Glock platform finally has real forced reset options — but Glock FRT compatibility is a generation game, and buying the wrong kit for your frame is the most common mistake in the category. This guide covers both routes we carry — the Glock FRT for Gen 1-4 and the GRT monolithic assisted reset trigger for Gen 1-6 — plus what each generation needs, so you order the right trigger for a 9mm pistol the first time.

Glock FRT Trigger, Gen 1-4 — $99.99. The forced reset route for earlier-generation 9mm Glocks: a monolithic one-piece stainless steel body with the trips machined directly into it — no multi-part assembly — oversized for durability, drop-in with no fitting, machined in Texas. Fits the G17 and G17L (Gen 1-4), G19 (Gen 2-4), and G26 and G34 (Gen 3-4), 9mm only. It has been one of the most popular pistol products we carry.
GRT Glock Gen 1-6 Monolithic Assisted Reset Trigger — $119.99. The widest-coverage reset trigger we carry for the platform — a monolithic single-piece TAR in heat-treated 4140 steel, Gen 1 through Gen 6 including Gen 5 and Gen 6, 100% USA made. If you own a Gen 5 or Gen 6 (where most Glock FRT kits on the market fall short), or you want one part that covers every generation, the GRT is the answer for $20 more.
Glock FRT Compatibility by Generation
Oversized body, more material than a standard Glock trigger assembly.
Gen 1-4 (9mm): the native territory for most Glock FRT designs, ours included — specifically the G17/17L from Gen 1, the G19 from Gen 2, and the G26 and G34 from Gen 3 onward. Fire control geometry across these generations is consistent enough that a drop-in monolithic unit runs with no fitting.
Gen 5 and Gen 6: Glock changed the recipe — including the ambidextrous slide release — and many FRT kits on the market either exclude these generations or require parts swaps to run. This is where the GRT's Gen 1-6 coverage earns its keep: one listed fitment, no guesswork.
Slimline and rimfire: the Gen 1-4 FRT does not fit the slimline series (G43, G43X, G48) or non-9mm calibers, and no Glock FRT on the market supports the .22 LR G44 — that last one is category-wide, not a limitation of any one kit.
Legality
Forced reset triggers are federally legal following the May 2025 DOJ settlement, and every shot still requires a separate trigger function. State restrictions apply in some jurisdictions — review the FRT legality guide before ordering. Compliance is verified on every order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an FRT trigger for Glock pistols?
Yes. Forced reset and assisted reset triggers exist for the Glock platform. We carry a Glock FRT for Gen 1-4 models and a GRT monolithic assisted reset trigger covering Gen 1 through Gen 6, both 100% USA made. Which one fits depends on your Glock's generation.
Which Glock generations work with an FRT?
Most Glock FRT kits on the market are built around Gen 1-4 fire control geometry. Gen 5 and Gen 6 pistols introduced changes, including the ambidextrous slide release, that affect fitment on many kits. That is exactly why we carry two options: the Gen 1-4 Glock FRT for earlier pistols and the GRT Gen 1-6 assisted reset trigger for coverage across every generation. Check your exact model on each product page before ordering.
What is the difference between a Glock FRT and an assisted reset trigger?
A forced reset trigger uses the pistol's cycling to mechanically reset the trigger, while an assisted reset design helps the trigger return faster without forcing it. Both remain one trigger function per round. The practical difference is feel and fitment: monolithic assisted reset designs like the GRT tend to fit a wider range of generations.
Are Glock FRT triggers legal?
Forced reset triggers are federally legal following the May 2025 DOJ settlement, and every shot requires a separate trigger function. State restrictions apply in some jurisdictions, so review our FRT legality guide before ordering. Compliance is verified on every order.
