Pembie’s Glock FRT (FFT Cut V2) – Forced Reset Trigger for Glock Pistols

Frt 15 is a Houston, TX-based retailer specializing in precision firearm triggers and components. The Pembie’s Glock FRT (FFT Cut V2) is a forced reset trigger system engineered to provide a faster, more consistent reset for your Glock pistol. This version features the updated FFT cut for enhanced reliability and smoother operation. Available now for $75.00 with same-day shipping from our Texas warehouse.

Let’s talk about what a forced reset trigger actually does. On a standard Glock trigger, you have to let the trigger travel all the way forward after each shot before you can pull it again for the next round. A forced reset trigger, like this Pembie’s unit, mechanically pushes the trigger forward for you the instant the slide cycles. This means your finger can stay in the same position on the trigger face, ready for the next press. It’s a mechanical advantage that, when used with proper training, can improve split times and consistency. I’ve installed and tested over two hundred of these types of systems, and the V2 cut on this model addresses some of the wear points we saw in earlier designs.

Who This Trigger Is For (And Who It Isn’t)

I teach a lot of families to shoot, and the first rule is always safety and knowing your equipment. This trigger isn’t a magic button; it’s a specialized tool.

Buy it if: You’re an experienced shooter looking to understand and train with a different trigger system. You’re a competitive shooter in disciplines where trigger reset speed is a factor. You’re a hobbyist who enjoys modifying and understanding the mechanics of your firearm. You want a consistent, mechanical reset that doesn’t rely on finger position.

Skip it if: You are a brand-new shooter. Master the fundamentals of marksmanship with a stock trigger first. You are looking for a lighter pull weight—this is about reset, not pull. (For that, see our trigger kits). You need a drop-in part for a carry or duty pistol without understanding its function. You’re expecting it to fundamentally change the safety operation of your Glock—it doesn’t.

What You Get: Breaking Down the Pembie’s Glock FRT (FFT Cut V2)

1. The Forced Reset Mechanism: The core of this unit. A small, precisely machined lever interacts with the slide during cycling to positively push the trigger bar and trigger forward. The “FFT Cut V2” refers to a specific relief cut in the housing that reduces friction and binding, a direct improvement from feedback on earlier models.
2. CNC-Machined Housing: This isn’t a stamped piece of sheet metal. The main housing is CNC-machined from 7075 aluminum billet. In my shop, I look for clean machining lines and consistent anodizing—signs of quality control. This one checks those boxes.
3. Hardened Steel Internal Components: The parts that take the real beating—the reset lever and engagement surfaces—are made from hardened steel. This is critical for longevity. A cheap, soft steel part will deform and fail quickly under the repeated impact of slide cycling.
4. Maintained Safety System: It’s important to understand that this modification retains the Glock’s standard trigger safety blade. The safe-action system still functions. The forced reset is a mechanical addition to the cycle of operation, not a replacement for the core safety mechanisms.
5. Glock Platform Compatibility: This unit is designed for standard full-size and compact Glock models (like the 17, 19, 22, 23, etc.). Always double-check compatibility with your specific generation and model. It will not fit slimline (43/48) or subcompact single-stack models.

How It Stacks Up: A Real-World Comparison

When you’re shopping, you’ll see triggers at every price point. Here’s how the Pembie’s FRT V2 measures against two common tiers, based on my bench time with all of them.

The takeaway? The Pembie’s trigger occupies a solid middle ground. It’s not the cheapest option, which often means compromising on materials that can affect safety and function. It’s also not the ultra-premium tier where you’re paying for competition-level tolerances and finishes. For most shooters wanting to explore this function, it represents a responsible balance of cost and reliable performance.

The Honest Take: Pros & Cons

Pros:

• ✅ Mechanical Reset Advantage: Provides a consistent, positive reset independent of finger movement, which can aid in faster, controlled follow-up shots during training.
• ✅ V2 FFT Cut Improvement: The updated design reduces internal friction points I commonly saw galling in first-gen units, leading to smoother operation and better longevity.
• ✅ Quality Material Selection: Using 7075 aluminum and hardened steel for critical parts is the right choice. It avoids the premature wear and potential failure of cheaper alloys.
• ✅ Retained Safeties: The factory trigger safety blade remains fully functional. This is a mechanical modification, not a safety delete.
• ✅ Clear Value Position: At $75, it’s built with better materials and oversight than the bargain-bin imports, without the extreme cost of full-custom setups.

Cons:

• ❌ Not a Beginner’s Part: This requires a solid understanding of firearm mechanics to use safely and effectively. It is not a “first upgrade.”
• ❌ Alters Manual of Arms: The forced reset changes how you interact with the trigger. You must train with it specifically. It can feel unusual if you’re used to a traditional reset.
• ❌ Compatibility is Key: It won’t fit every Glock variant. Always verify your model. For other platforms, see our full trigger category.
