About this product
The Glock-Mod 3-Position SEF Selector is a drop-in upgrade component specifically engineered for the Rare Breed Triggers FRT-RD3 platform that provides Safe-Semi-Binary functionality selection with precision-machined durability. This selector switch enables shooters to toggle between firing modes with positive tactile feedback while maintaining full compatibility with the FRT-RD3's forced reset trigger system. As a specialized component, it represents the next evolution in aftermarket Glock trigger customization for tactical applications.
What is the Glock-Mod 3-Position SEF Selector used for?
This selector enables mode switching between Safe, Semi-Auto, and Binary firing modes on FRT-RD3 equipped Glock pistols with definitive 45-degree detent positions. The 4140 steel barrel engages with the trigger mechanism housing to lock out the firing pin in safe mode while allowing full FRT functionality in binary mode. Installation requires basic armorer tools and takes approximately 15-20 minutes for experienced users.
How does the Glock-Mod 3-Position SEF Selector compare to the factory FRT selector?
The Glock-Mod selector provides more definitive detent engagement than the factory FRT selector, with 50% more positive tactile feedback during mode transitions. While the factory component functions adequately, our selector's 45 HRC heat-treated steel construction offers superior wear resistance over extended high-round-count sessions. The anodized 7075 aluminum lever maintains dimensional stability better than standard aluminum alloys under rapid cycling.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The complete selector assembly weighs 28 grams with dimensions of 35mm length × 8mm diameter barrel and 25mm lever extension. The compact size ensures unobtrusive operation while maintaining sufficient leverage for positive mode selection even under gloved conditions. The selector projects just 12mm from the frame when installed, preventing accidental activation during holstering.
Who is this NOT for?
This component is specifically not for shooters running standard semi-auto Glock triggers or those requiring installation on non-FRT-RD3 platforms. The selector requires proper installation on a functional FRT-RD3 system to operate correctly and provides no benefit for conventional trigger systems. If you're building a basic range pistol, consider our Glock-Mod 3.5lb Modified Cut Nub Connector instead.
What's in the box?
The package contains exactly one complete selector assembly consisting of the steel barrel and aluminum lever pre-assembled ready for installation. No additional hardware or tools are included, though installation requires basic armorer punches and a 3/32" hex key for the set screw. Each unit undergoes functional testing before shipment to ensure proper detent engagement and dimensional compliance.
Is the Glock-Mod 3-Position SEF Selector worth it at $107.35?
At $107.35, this selector delivers tangible performance improvements for serious FRT-RD3 users who demand definitive mode selection under rapid fire conditions. The investment provides measurable enhancements in tactile feedback and long-term durability compared to stock components, making it essential for competitive shooters and tactical users. For those running multiple FRT-equipped platforms, the reliability improvement justifies the cost through consistent performance across thousands of rounds.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Glock 19 Gen 5?
- Yes, it's fully compatible with Glock 19 Gen 5 when installed with the FRT-RD3 system. The selector interfaces with the trigger mechanism housing, which maintains consistent dimensions across Gen 3-5 full-size and compact Glock frames. Installation requires removal of the factory trigger components and proper FRT-RD3 installation first.
- Does it fit Glock 17 with FRT-RD3?
- Absolutely, the selector is designed specifically for the FRT-RD3 system in all double-stack 9mm Glock models including the Glock 17. The 35mm barrel length matches the standard Glock trigger pin spacing, ensuring proper engagement with the trigger bar and disconnector. Proper installation requires the FRT-RD3 to be correctly fitted first.
- How long does shipping take?
- Standard shipping processes within 1 business day with delivery in 3-5 business days for continental US orders. Expedited options are available through UPS and FedEx for 2-day delivery. International shipments may require 7-14 days depending on customs processing in the destination country.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for uninstalled, like-new condition components with original packaging. Installation attempts that cause visible damage or modification void the return eligibility. We recommend verifying FRT-RD3 compatibility before purchase since this is a specialized component requiring specific trigger system installation.
- Does this work with aftermarket Glock frames?
- It works with most aftermarket frames that maintain standard Glock trigger mechanism housing dimensions, including Polymer80 and Lone Wolf frames. The critical dimension is the 35mm trigger pin-to-selector pin spacing, which must match OEM Glock specifications for proper function. Test fitting is recommended with non-OEM frames before permanent installation.
