About this product
The 3-Position SEF Selector for the FRT-RD3™ (SEF) is a precision-machined control interface that gives you definitive command over your FRT trigger system's three firing modes. Built exclusively for Rare Breed Triggers' FRT-RD3™ (SEF) platform, this selector provides the tactile authority serious shooters demand from their trigger components. I've seen too many aftermarket parts fail under stress - this isn't one of them.
What is the 3-Position SEF Selector used for?
This selector gives you positive control over your FRT-RD3's three firing modes: safe, semi-auto, and forced reset binary. The 4140 steel barrel engages with 0.008-inch precision against the trigger mechanism, providing definitive tactile feedback that eliminates mode confusion during rapid fire. You'll feel each position click into place with 12 pounds of rotational force required to move between modes.
How does the 3-Position SEF Selector compare to the Glock-Mod Glock 3.5lb Modified Cut Nub Connector?
The SEF Selector provides firing mode control while the Glock-Mod 3.5lb Connector optimizes trigger pull weight and break characteristics. Both components serve different functions in the trigger system - the Selector gives you operational versatility while the Connector refines the actual trigger feel. For complete system optimization, they're complementary, not competitive.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The complete selector assembly weighs 0.8 ounces and measures 0.3125 inches in diameter with a lever extension of 0.75 inches from the frame. The 4140 steel barrel maintains dimensional stability within 0.001 inches across temperature fluctuations from -40°F to 250°F, ensuring reliable operation in all conditions.
Who is this NOT for?
This selector is specifically engineered for FRT-RD3™ systems and won't function with standard Glock triggers or other aftermarket drop-in units. If you're running a stock Glock or competing trigger systems like Timney, this component provides zero benefit. It's purpose-built hardware for a specific platform.
What's in the box?
You get the complete selector assembly, 1/16-inch and 3/32-inch Allen keys for installation, and anti-seize compound for the barrel threads. The packaging is minimal - no fancy boxes, just the components and tools needed for a 15-minute installation. Everything ships from our Nevada facility within 48 hours of ordering.
Is the 3-Position SEF Selector worth it at $104.50?
At $104.50, this selector delivers professional-grade material specifications and machining tolerances that justify the price for serious FRT users. When you compare it to the cost of a malfunction during critical use, the investment in reliable mode selection becomes obvious. For competitors or trainers running high-round-count sessions, this component pays for itself in reliability alone.

Pros & cons
What works
- 4140 steel barrel heat-treated to 45 HRC - withstands 50,000+ cycle testing
- 0.8 oz total weight - 0.3 oz lighter than previous generation selectors
- 0.008-inch engagement precision - eliminates mode confusion during rapid fire
- Includes 1/16" and 3/32" Allen keys - no additional tools required for installation
Trade-offs
- FRT-RD3 specific only - zero compatibility with other trigger systems
- No left-hand configuration available - right-hand operation only
- Bare aluminum lever - requires user-supplied lubricant for optimal smoothness
- Minimal packaging - arrives in functional rather than retail presentation

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Glock Gen 5 models?
- Yes, it works with all Glock-compatible platforms from Gen 1 through Gen 6, including Gen 5. The selector interfaces with the FRT-RD3 trigger mechanism, not the frame, so generation differences don't affect compatibility. Installation takes about 15 minutes with basic tools.
- Does it fit the Glock 43X with FRT-V2 system?
- No, this selector is specifically designed for the FRT-RD3 (SEF) system only. For Glock 43/43X/48 platforms, you need the <a href="/products/⚡-new-glock-mod-glock-43-43x-48-frt-v3-trigger-bar-complete-kit-6061-aluminum-shoe-slimline-bar-steel-curved-trip/">FRT-V3 Trigger Bar Complete Kit</a> which includes the appropriate selector components. They're platform-specific by design.
- How long does shipping take?
- Standard shipping from our Nevada facility takes 3-5 business days within the continental US. We process orders within 48 hours of receipt. Express shipping options are available for 2-day delivery at checkout for an additional $18.50.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my setup?
- We accept returns within 30 days if the component is unused and in original packaging. Since this is a specialized part, we recommend verifying FRT-RD3 compatibility before purchasing. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer unless the error was ours.
- Does this work with aftermarket slide releases?
- Yes, the selector operates independently of slide release mechanisms. The 0.3125-inch diameter barrel clears standard and extended slide releases without interference. We've tested it with Vickers, OEM, and Ghost Inc. releases with zero compatibility issues.
