Anyone ever tried it? It's as close to a select fire full auto as you can get without jumping through all the hoops. Its a simple drop in kit that takes about five minutes to install, and it has 3 positions, safe, single shot and what is know as reset.

The hammer is reset after each shot, which requires your finger to press the trigger. With this one, the reset is so quick that its barely noticeable. There is no learning curve and having put many FRT's and Binary triggers in AR's, I believe this one to to be the cheapest, easier and most efficient trigger on the market.

It uses a modified trigger and replaces the rotating safety with a push button. It does require an M16 bolt carrier group for the reset.

If you ever wanted a rapid-fire weapon, these are a lot of fun.

The ATF raided them last year, and the production of them was put on hold until the Supreme Court overruled the ATF. Now that they are in full production, they are just now hotting the streets. The demand far exceeds the supply, so they are always out of stock. The 3-d Printed ones last a few hundred rounds but several manufacturers are making them out of heat treated 4140, S& and D2, which will probably outlast the gun.

If your gun is Milspec, they'll usually be good to go. If you have a Smith and Wesson or Ruger they won't work without milling some clearance in the lower.

I've installed them on 5.56, 7.63x39. 9mm, 10mm and .300 Blackout. With a CCMG 22 adapter and a Trip kit, they will work with a Milspec lower and they are incredibly fast.

I had a similar reaction the first time I heard about it—reminded me of all the discussions around the frt trigger and how polarizing that got. It’s always interesting to see new designs trying to bring something different, but adding extra moving parts to a trigger setup seems like it could make things more complicated than they need to be. I'm all for safety, but simple and reliable usually wins for me.

I get the idea behind it, but it seems like it could really slow things down in a high-stress moment. Muscle memory matters, and adding steps might screw that up.
These things run around 940 rounds per minute. My machine guns usually only run around 750 depending on the ammo. Double or triple tapping is no problem.

Muscle memory? Its a trigger. Keep your finger on the trigger and it shoots. Take your finger off of the trigger and it stops.

Not much muscle memory to it. It's about as simple as it gets.
