Who This Green Selector Switch Is For (And Who It’s Not)
I’ve seen all kinds of shooters come through our shop and the range. This part isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. Being honest about that saves you time and money.
Buy it if: You’re a Glock owner who values a specific, mechanical upgrade for training or collection purposes. You understand your local laws and responsibilities. You appreciate components that are machined to tight tolerances and finished properly. You’re the type who cleans your firearm after every range day and notices the difference a quality part makes.
Skip it if: You’re looking for a toy or a novelty item. You’re on an extremely tight budget and a basic trigger upgrade would serve you better. You’re unfamiliar with your firearm’s internal operation and aren’t comfortable with detailed disassembly. If that’s the case, check out our basic accessories first to get more familiar with your platform.
What You’re Getting: Features That Matter
Let’s break down what makes this green selector switch stand out from the stuff you find in a random parts bin. I’ve installed enough of these to know what holds up.
- Precision Machining: This isn’t a stamped or MIM part. It’s CNC-machined from solid bar stock, which means consistent grain structure and strength. You can feel the difference when you handle it—no rough edges, no casting lines.
- Hard-Anodized Green Finish: The color isn’t just paint; it’s a Type III hard anodized coating. This does two things: it provides serious surface hardness for wear resistance, and it gives you that distinct green identifier. It won’t chip or flake like cheap cerakote.
- Drop-In Compatibility (Mostly): Designed for Gen 3-5 Glock models. It fits the standard selector switch channel. I say “mostly” because, like any precision part, a quick function check after installation is non-negotiable. We’ll cover that in the FAQ.
- Positive Tactile Engagement: The design provides a clean, definitive click between positions. There’s no mushy middle. This is crucial for maintaining control and knowing exactly what mode your firearm is in by feel alone.
- Minimal Profile: It doesn’t add unnecessary bulk to the frame. It sits flush and operates smoothly without snagging on holsters or gear, which is something I always test for.
How It Stacks Up: A Real-World Comparison
I’ve got bins of parts I’ve tested over the years. Let’s put this green switch up against two common alternatives you’ll encounter.
| Feature | Frt 15 Green Selector Switch | Budget Import (~$65) | High-End Custom (~$250+) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material | 6061-T6 Aluminum, CNC Machined | Cast Zinc Alloy or Soft Aluminum | 7075-T6 or Titanium, CNC Machined |
| Quality / Finish | Type III Hard Anodize (Integral Color) | Painted or Thin Anodize (Wears Fast) | Premium Cerakote or DLC |
| Compatibility | Gen 3-5 Glock (Drop-In) | “Universal” (Often Requires Fitting) | Specific Model, Sometimes Custom Fit |
| Shipping | Same-Day from Houston, TX | 3-5 Weeks from Overseas | Varies, Often 2-4 Week Lead Time |
| Lifespan / Durability | High (Designed for Repeated Use) | Low (Prone to Breakage or Wear) | Very High (Overbuilt) |
| Price | $124.32 (On Sale) | $60 – $80 | $250 – $400+ |
The takeaway? The budget part is a gamble on fit and longevity. The high-end custom is fantastic but often overkill for most shooters and comes with a long wait. Our green switch hits the sweet spot: reliable quality, available now, at a price that reflects what you’re actually getting.

The Honest Pros and Cons
After installing over two hundred of these and similar components, here’s my straight take.
Pros:
- ✅ Solid Construction: No flex, no play. It’s a robust piece of machined aluminum that feels substantial in hand.
- ✅ Reliable Finish: The hard anodize stands up to handling and holster wear far better than painted options.
- ✅ Clean Function: Provides a positive, tactile click that’s consistent. No guesswork on position.
- ✅ Immediate Availability: We ship these the same day from Houston. No waiting for a backorder or an overseas shipment.
- ✅ Solid Value: At this sale price, you’re getting a quality-machined part without paying a custom shop premium.
Cons:
- ❌ Not for Beginners: Installation requires detailed disassembly of your Glock’s frame. If you’re not confident, seek a qualified armorer.
- ❌ Color is Specific: The green is distinctive. If you want a more subdued look, check out our standard black selector switches.
- ❌ Compatibility Check Needed: While it’s drop-in for most Gen 3-5 Glocks, always perform a full safety and function check after installing any component. This is non-negotiable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this legal to own in my state?
Laws vary significantly by state and locality. It is your responsibility to know and comply with all federal, state, and local laws regarding firearm components before purchasing. We ship only to locations where the product is compliant, but ultimate responsibility lies with the purchaser.
What tools do I need to install this selector switch?
You’ll need a Glock armorers tool or a set of punches, a small hammer, and a clean, well-lit workspace. The process involves driving out the trigger pin and safely removing the trigger mechanism. If you’re not 100% comfortable with this process, have a qualified gunsmith do the installation.
Will this fit my Glock 19 Gen 5?
Yes. This selector switch is compatible with Gen 3, 4, and 5 Glock models, which includes the Glock 19 Gen 5. The fire control cavity dimensions are standardized across these generations for this part.
How durable is the green color?
The green is not paint; it’s a Type III hard anodized finish. This means the color is infused into the surface layer of the aluminum. It is highly resistant to wear, corrosion, and chipping—far more durable than any coated finish.
