What Makes the FRT-15C3 Different
Having tested dozens of trigger systems over my 19-year shooting career, the FRT-15C3 stands out for its consistent reset and clean break. The flat face design provides better finger placement compared to curved triggers, especially when wearing gloves. The included anti-walk pins are a thoughtful inclusion that many competitors charge extra for.
