What Is the Hoffman Tactical Super Safety?
The Hoffman Tactical Super Safety is a 3-position active reset selector system for AR-15 mil-spec lowers. It replaces your standard 2-position safety selector with a 3-position system — Safe, Semi-Auto, and Active Reset — that uses a cam-and-lever mechanism to push the trigger forward and force a reset as the bolt carrier group cycles.
The result: faster follow-up fire than any standard mil-spec trigger allows, without replacing your hammer, trigger, disconnector, or springs. The Super Safety flat trigger variant pairs this selector system with a flat trigger face — preferred by many shooters for more consistent finger placement and a cleaner break feel.
Unlike a full drop-in FRT cassette, the Hoffman Super Safety works with a cam and lever
Flat vs Curved Super Safety: The flat trigger face provides a consistent, straight contact point that many competition shooters prefer. If you're accustomed to curved trigger faces or prefer a more traditional feel, see our

How the Super Safety Flat Trigger Works
The Hoffman Tactical Super Safety replaces your standard safety selector with a 3-position mechanism. Here's how the active reset position works:
-
Safe position — standard safe, trigger blocked
-
Semi-auto position — standard semi-auto, your existing trigger fires and resets manually as normal
-
Active reset position — as the BCG cycles, the Super Safety cam contacts your trigger and pushes it forward, mechanically forcing reset before the bolt returns to battery
The flat trigger face in this configuration gives you a consistent, straight contact point across the full trigger pull — reducing the tendency to push shots that curved trigger faces can create when finger placement varies between shots.
Super Safety vs Full FRT Trigger — Which Is Right for You?
Buy the Super Safety if: You want to add active reset capability to your existing trigger group without replacing it. Lower cost of entry, simpler part count, legal in most states, no BCG or buffer upgrade required. Ideal if you already have a quality buffer installed you want to keep.
Buy the Partisan Disruptor FRT if: You want the highest cyclic rate, maximum reset consistency, and a fully self-contained system. The Disruptor replaces the entire trigger group with a matched cassette and achieves ~1,150 RPM in FRT mode.
Run both: The Super Safety is fully compatible with all ar-15. Many shooters run the Disruptor cassette vs the Super Safety selector for maximum versatility.

Installation Overview
The Hoffman Designed Super Safety flat trigger installation requires:
-
Pre-cut trigger — your existing trigger needs a selector shelf cut to allow the Super Safety cam to interface correctly. Many Super Safety kits include a pre-cut trigger — the easiest path (just like ours does)
-
Safety selector removal — remove your existing 2-position selector completely
-
Cam, lever, and detent installation — install the Super Safety components in the selector pocket
-
Detent modification — the safety detent requires modification to accommodate the 3-position system
-
Function check — verify all three positions before loading
Total install time: 20-30 minutes for a first-time install. No BCG swap, no buffer swap, no lower modification beyond the selector pocket and detent.
