Glock-Mod Value Glock FRT V2 6061 Aluminum Trigger Bar Kit 2x Shoe (Silver Curve and Flat) Gen 1 2 3 4, 9mm, .40, .357
Pros & cons
What works
- Drop-in installation requires no fitting—saves 1-2 hours of gunsmithing time versus modifying a stock bar.
- 6061 aluminum construction maintains dimensional stability across a -40°F to 250°F (-40°C to 121°C) operational range.
- Includes two shoe profiles (curved and flat) in one kit—a $25 value if purchased separately.
- Machined to a ±0.003 inch tolerance for reliable engagement with FRT mechanisms over 5,000+ rounds.
Trade-offs
- No integrated trigger safety—requires the user to rely on the frame's internal safeties or an external safety sear.
- The bare aluminum shoe surface can be slick with wet or gloved hands compared to textured polymer options.
- Gen 5 Glock owners must seek a different model—this kit is incompatible with the updated Gen 5 trigger system.

About this product
What is the Glock-Mod Value Glock FRT V2 6061 Aluminum Trigger Bar Kit? It's a drop-in, machined trigger component set for Gen 1-4 Glock pistols, designed to deliver a consistent and reliable break for users of forced-reset trigger systems. This kit includes two aluminum trigger shoes, in both curved and flat profiles, machined from 6061 aluminum to a dimensional tolerance of ±0.003 inches, and comes with a lifetime warranty against defects. It's a direct upgrade path for shooters seeking a more defined tactile interface without permanent modification to their firearm's fire control group.
What is the Glock FRT V2 Trigger Bar Kit used for?
This kit is used to replace the factory trigger bar and shoe in compatible Glock pistols to interface with a forced-reset trigger (FRT) system for enhanced control. The primary purpose is to provide a durable, precisely-machined linkage that reliably engages the FRT mechanism with a clean, consistent break, eliminating the mush and overtravel common in modified stock parts. It's intended for sport shooting, dedicated training platforms, and applications where a predictable second-stage wall is critical for rapid, controlled fire.
How does the Glock FRT V2 compare to the Polymer V3 Trigger Shoe Kit?
The Glock FRT V2 is superior for durability and thermal stability, while the Polymer V3 Trigger Shoe Kit is a more cost-effective option for standard applications. The 6061 aluminum construction of the FRT V2 maintains its geometry and surface finish under sustained fire, where polymer can exhibit minor flex and wear over thousands of cycles. However, the Polymer V3 kit includes a built-in trigger safety, making it a better immediate choice for users not running an FRT system who prioritize that feature on a budget.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The complete trigger bar assembly weighs 1.8 ounces (51 grams), with the aluminum shoes contributing a combined weight of 0.6 ounces (17 grams). The trigger bar has a critical length of 3.14 inches (79.8 mm) from the cruciform to the rear connector engagement surface, a specification held to within 0.005 inches for reliable drop-in function. The shoe mounting pins are a standard 0.098 inches (2.5 mm) in diameter, compatible with all Gen 1-4 frames without modification.
Who is this NOT for?
This kit is not for anyone seeking a lighter trigger pull weight or a drop-in upgrade for a stock, semi-automatic Glock without an accompanying FRT mechanism. It is specifically engineered as a component of a forced-reset system; installed alone in a standard pistol, it will not improve pull feel and may not function correctly. It is also not suitable for Gen 5 Glocks due to differences in the trigger housing and bar geometry, which requires a dedicated part like our Glock 43/43X/48 FRT V2 Kit for slimline models.
What's in the box?
You receive one precision-machined 6061 aluminum trigger bar, one silver curved aluminum trigger shoe, one silver flat aluminum trigger shoe, and all necessary mounting pins and springs for installation. The packaging includes a 3" x 5" (76 x 127 mm) anti-corrosion VCI bag to prevent oxidation during storage, and a single-page installation guide that details the three-step, sub-10-minute installation process using a standard 3/32" punch. No Loctite or specialized tools are required.
Is the Glock FRT V2 Trigger Bar Kit worth it at $90.40?
At $90.40, it's a justified investment for the shooter who has already committed to an FRT system and demands a component that won't be the weak link. Compared to attempting to modify a stock Glock trigger bar—a process that often leads to inconsistent engagement and requires hours of fitting—this drop-in kit delivers guaranteed geometry and material integrity. For the user who values reliability over 5,000+ rounds and the option of two shoe profiles in one purchase, the price reflects a specialized tool, not a generic accessory.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Glock 19 Gen 4?
- Yes. This trigger bar kit is explicitly compatible with Glock models in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .357 Sig for Generations 1, 2, 3, and 4. This includes the Glock 19 Gen 4. Ensure your pistol is fitted with a compatible forced-reset trigger (FRT) unit for the system to function as intended.
- Does it fit a Glock 17L?
- Yes, if it is a Gen 1-4 model. The 17L uses the same large-frame trigger bar geometry as the standard Glock 17. Compatibility is based on generation, not slide length. Installation is identical and should take under 10 minutes with basic gunsmithing tools.
- How long does shipping take?
- Orders ship from our warehouse in Texas within 1-3 business days via USPS Priority Mail or UPS Ground. Continental US delivery typically adds 2-5 additional business days. International shipping timelines vary but average 7-14 business days after processing.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for uninstalled, undamaged items in original packaging. Due to the nature of firearm components, installed or modified parts cannot be returned for safety and hygiene reasons. We recommend verifying your Glock's generation and caliber before purchase to ensure compatibility.
- Does this work with a Timney Alpha Glock trigger?
- No. This FRT V2 Trigger Bar is designed specifically to interface with forced-reset trigger mechanisms, not with aftermarket single-stage or competition triggers like the Timney Alpha. Using it with an incompatible trigger system will result in malfunction or failure to fire.
