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 Hoffman Tactical Super Safety with curved trigger →

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.
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.

Had some initial issues with the trigger but customer service was easy to get ahold of and took care of me. Shipping was super fast, and everything is working as intended now. I wouldn’t think twice about ordering from them again.
I haven't got a chance to put it together or anything it seems to be very high quality.
We had a small shipping error that occurred however customer service was very quick and ready to resolve my issues I'm very satisfied with takedown tools 9/10 will buy again.
Super easy to install very reliable, very nice quality.Only thing I had trouble with was trying to figure out which each H buffer I needed. after figuring that out , the gun runs smoothly
This is an AR-15 chambered in 7.62x39. I added this super safety along with a tromix h3 buffer, tubb flatwire spring & a BSA enhanced firing pin. Operates flawlessly as you can see.
Install was very simple, had it up and running in less than 20 minutes. Two 30rd mags ran flawless, its a blast to shoot just make sure you stock up on ammo 🤘🏻🇺🇲
Set it up in combination with a H3 buffer. With no success. It is good quality but i wish the selector was a bit better. Im going to purchase a 20% spring and a different cabine buffer to see if i can get it to work. I also did some shaving inside of the lower so the selector can move all the way back into position. Ill do more research. Apparently all the research i did before purchasing was not enough.
I put this in a 16 ' psa chambered in 5.56, just for shiggles. I was immediately blown away by the unadulterated freedom available to me, literally at the push of a button. Quality parts at an amazing price. It took 8 minutes to install, that's it. 8 minutes to put in, I verified everything was working correctly, loaded up 15 rnds because I was being a puss, and then ran them all in about 1.5 sec. LOVE IT!!!!
They work, AND THE WORK WELL!!

Make sure you have a low shelf lower, some lowers wont work!
The lower that didnt work for me, was Radical it has a high shelf or higher shelf.
Lowers that do work,
Anderson, psa, Springfield,
Your welcome! Have fun fellow 2nd amendment.
Remember to keep guns away from the krazys and kids!!
Great price, and shipped super fast. It was super easy to install and worked flawlessly on my blackout 300. I love the flat trigger. Great bang for your buck, I highly recommend.
I have an Anderson Arms lower, a decent BCG, and decent buffer. All I had to do was install the flat trigger the kit came with. When I tell you it runs well, please believe me. I couldn’t stop smiling as I emptied mag after mag. The older ladies and gentlemen at my range came and took vids of me firing and said “it looks like you’re having fun” lol. I’ve put a little over 330 rounds through it without any flaws or alterations.
