About this product
The Replacement Spring Set for the FRT-15C3™ is a three-spring maintenance kit engineered to restore factory-level performance in Rare Breed Triggers' forced reset system. These heat-treated steel components are direct replacements for the hammer, trigger, and disconnector springs in all Glock generations (Gen 1-6), manufactured to strict tolerances for shooters running high-round-count builds.
What is the Replacement Spring Set for the FRT-15C3™ used for?
This set restores trigger reset function and prevents failure in FRT-15C3 systems. After 5,000 rounds, factory springs exhibit measurable fatigue—this kit returns hammer spring tension to 5.2 lb and ensures consistent disconnector engagement. It’s essential maintenance for binary trigger systems subjected to rapid fire or competition use.
How does the Replacement Spring Set compare to the Glock-Mod 3.5lb Modified Cut Nub Connector?
The Glock-Mod connector reduces pull weight by 1.7 lb but doesn’t address spring fatigue—this set maintains original function. While the connector enhances break feel, these springs ensure reliability: the hammer spring delivers 12% more consistent energy transfer than worn OEM parts. For forced reset systems, spring integrity is non-negotiable.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The entire set weighs 0.6 oz and fits in a 2.5" x 1.5" blister pack. Each spring is precision-formed from 0.021" diameter music wire, with the disconnector spring measuring 0.4" long—identical to OEM specifications. This minimal weight and size make it ideal for range bags or armorer’s kits.
Who is this NOT for?
Avoid this if you run stock Glock triggers or non-binary systems. These springs are calibrated exclusively for the FRT-15C3™’s forced reset mechanism and will over-tension standard triggers. If you’re using a Glock-Mod BLEM Standard Semi-Auto Trigger, this kit provides zero benefit.
What’s in the box?
You get three US-made springs: one hammer spring (part #FRT-HS-1), one trigger return spring (part #FRT-TRS-1), and one disconnector spring (part #FRT-DS-1). No tools or instructions—this assumes you know how to detail-strip your Glock lower. Total component count: 3.
Is the Replacement Spring Set worth it at $16.50?
Absolutely—it’s insurance against a $400 trigger system failing mid-match. Compared to sourcing individual springs from third parties, this kit guarantees compatibility and saves 15 minutes of cross-referencing parts. For the cost of two boxes of 9mm, you extend the service life of your FRT-15C3™ by thousands of rounds.

- Heat-treated steel construction—outlasts OEM springs by 200% in cyclic testing
Trade-offs
- No installation tools included—requires Glock armorers punch set ($25-$40)
- Not compatible with standard triggers—only for FRT-15C3™ systems
- Blister packaging—difficult to reseal for storage after opening

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Glock 19 Gen 5?
- Yes—this spring set works across all Glock generations from Gen 1 to Gen 6. The FRT-15C3™ system uses uniform spring dimensions regardless of frame size. No modifications required for double-stack models including G17, G19, G34, or G45.
- Does it fit the FRT-15C3™ only?
- Yes—these springs are engineered exclusively for Rare Breed Triggers' FRT-15C3™ system. They are not compatible with standard Glock triggers or other binary systems like Franklin Armory’s BFSIII. Using them outside the FRT-15C3™ will cause malfunctions.
- How long does shipping take?
- GLOCK FRT processes orders within 24 hours via USPS Priority Mail. Continental US delivery averages 3 business days. International shipments require 7-10 days and may incur additional customs fees—confirm with your local regulations before ordering.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- No—all spring sets are final sale due to hygiene and installation risks. GLOCK FRT advises verifying compatibility with your FRT-15C3™ serial number before purchase. If you receive a defective spring, contact support with photos within 14 days for replacement.
