Glock-Mod GLOCK FRT V3 6061 ALUMINUM TRIGGER SHOE & BAR KIT, Gen 5, Gen 6, 9MM .40 .357
Pros & cons
What works
- Complete drop-in kit – Includes matched bar, shoe, trip, and tool for immediate installation.
- 6061 aluminum V3 shoe – 25% less flex than polymer alternatives for consistent finger contact.
- Reduces pre-travel by ~1.5mm over factory Gen 5 setup, creating a more defined wall.
- Ships in 1 business day – Faster lead time than most custom trigger shops.
Trade-offs
- No slimline compatibility – Bar won't fit G43/48 or subcompact .45 frames; requires separate purchase.
- Flat shoe only – No curved option in this specific V3 aluminum configuration.
- No connector included – For a lighter pull, you must add a modified connector (like our 3.5lb) separately.
- Final fit may require minor polishing – As with most drop-in parts, achieving a glass-break feel often needs a 5-10 minute de-burring session.

About this product
The Glock-Mod GLOCK FRT V3 6061 Aluminum Trigger Shoe & Bar Kit is a complete drop-in trigger system that upgrades your Gen 5 or Gen 6 double-stack Glock pistol for a crisper, lighter pull. This U.S.-made kit, priced at $84.75, combines a 6061 aluminum V3 trigger shoe with a compatible trigger bar for a refined shooting experience. It ships within 1 business day and maintains your pistol's original aesthetic with your choice of color.
What is the GLOCK FRT V3 6061 Aluminum Trigger Shoe & Bar Kit used for?
This kit is used to replace your factory Glock trigger components for a lighter, smoother, and more consistent break. The 6061 aluminum V3 shoe provides a flat, comfortable interface while the matched trigger bar reduces pre-travel and overtravel. It's engineered for rapid fire control and enhanced accuracy during competition or high-round-count training sessions, directly out of the box.
How does the trigger bar compare to the standard Glock OEM connector?
This Gen 5-6 compatible trigger bar is designed to work with the FRT shoe for optimized geometry, whereas a standard Glock OEM connector might not reduce pre-travel as effectively. The kit integrates a factory-modified 3.5lb connector profile for a smoother, more predictable wall before the break. It's better for shooters seeking a complete trigger-job feel in one drop-in unit, unlike piecemeal upgrades like our 3.5lb Modified Cut Nub Connector which works on existing setups.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The entire kit, including all stainless steel and aluminum components, weighs approximately 74 grams (2.6 oz), which is consistent with OEM trigger parts. The trigger shoe itself is CNC-machined to a width of 15.5mm and a pull face height of 20mm. This slim profile reduces finger drag and facilitates quicker follow-up shots without the bulk of some aftermarket shoes.
Who is this NOT for?
This kit is not for owners of Glock 29, 30, 36, or any single-stack or slimline models like the 43, 48, or 42. The trigger bar is explicitly incompatible with these subcompact frames. It's also a poor choice for those seeking a dramatically curved trigger profile, as the V3 shoe is a flat-faced design focused on a straight-back pull.
What's in the box?
The box contains (1) Gen 5-6 trigger bar, (1) V3 6061 aluminum trigger shoe with installed safety, (1) one-sided slide release for Gen 3-4 models, (1) 304 stainless steel curved trip, and (1) installation tool. This constitutes a full replacement set for the trigger mechanism. For a simpler shoe-only upgrade targeting multiple firearms, consider the 2-PACK GLOCK POLYMER V3 Trigger Shoe Kit.
Is the GLOCK FRT V3 Kit worth it at $84.75?
At $84.75, this complete drop-in kit is worth it for shooters who want a refined trigger feel without the cost and time of a professional gunsmith job. You get a matched aluminum shoe and bar, plus installation tools, for less than the combined cost of sourcing them separately. The main value is the optimized compatibility and the immediate 15-20% reduction in perceived pull weight and slop over a factory setup.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Glock 45?
- Yes. This kit is fully compatible with the Glock 45, the Glock 19X, and all other double-stack 9mm, .40 S&W, and .357 SIG models listed (Gen 5/6 frames). The trigger bar is designed for the updated geometry of these newer generation frames.
- Does this fit Glock 43 or 48?
- No. This kit is explicitly incompatible with all slimline models, including the Glock 43, 43X, 48, and all subcompact .45 models like the G30. For those pistols, you need a dedicated kit like our <a href="/products/⚡-new-glock-mod-glock-43-43x-48-frt-v3-trigger-bar-complete-kit-6061-aluminum-shoe-slimline-bar-steel-curved-trip/">GLOCK 43/43X/48 FRT V3 KIT</a> which uses a different, narrower trigger bar.
- How long does shipping take?
- Processing is within 1 business day, and USPS or UPS ground delivery typically takes 2-5 business days to the continental United States. Delivery time for international or APO/FPO addresses may range from 7-14 business days, depending on customs.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- All sales are final for installed or modified parts. Uninstalled, unused components in original packaging can be returned within 7 days of delivery for a store credit, minus a 15% restocking fee. Always confirm your Glock model and generation before purchase.
- Does this work with an aftermarket frame like a Polymer80?
- It works in many Polymer80 and other aftermarket frames designed for Gen 3-4 Glock parts, but function is not guaranteed in every single case. The V3 shoe and its safety are standard, but frame tolerances can affect drop-in fit. Test fit and function-check thoroughly before live fire.
