Rare Breed Triggers Report Surging Sales Following Deal With DOJ

Forced reset triggers got a lot of hysteria, which isn’t surprising. Anything we, as gun consumers, might like, the anti-gunners absolutely hate. Their reasoning, if it can actually be called that, was that forced reset triggers “turn your guns into machine guns.” That’s blatantly false. You still have to pull the trigger for every shot. It just makes it so you can pull the trigger that much faster.

The federal government tried to take down Rare Breed Triggers, which make forced reset triggers. That ended earlier this year when the company reached a deal with the federal government.

But hey, it couldn’t have been like there were that many people who wanted such a thing, right?

Well, according to the company, there sure seems to be.

In a press release on Tuesday, Rare Breed Triggers reports significant sales since the deal was reached.

Since resuming sales just over two weeks ago, Rare Breed Triggers has sold more than 6,000 triggers, fulfilling more than 5,000 orders. 

“The only thing preventing us from selling more is that we are limiting sales to the amount we can physically fulfill each day,” DeMonico said. “Within an hour or two, we are typically selling our self-imposed daily limit of around 500-800 triggers each day. However, we are working on multiple solutions to scale up our operations to handle more.” 

The remarkable sales surge highlights the strong demand for the FRT-15 and its growing popularity in the firearms market. 

Sounds like good news for the company.

In fact, it’s good enough that they’re not stopping with triggers for the AR-15.

Rare Breed is not stopping with the AR-15. The company announced on Tuesday that they will soon release Forced Reset Triggers for a broader range of firearms.

“We are pleased to announce that we will soon be releasing FRTs for the HK and AK platforms in addition to two additional AR-15 variants,” DeMonico said. “Anyone interested in learning more about these should subscribe to our email list by visiting the homepage of our website to stay informed about their release.”  

Rare Breed is also looking to partner with firearm manufacturers who might wish to offer FRTs in their products.

All of this, again, is good news. It’s not surprising news, though.

I know I didn’t care about a bump stock until the feds tried to kill them. The same was true with FRTs. My take is often that if the federal government, regardless of who is calling the shots, doesn’t want me to have something, that’s a sign I probably need it.

My wife disagrees with this logic, unfortunately, which is why I don’t have a whole lot more things sitting in my safe, but I digress.

A lot of other people are going to view FRTs in a similar light.

Then, there’s the Streisand Effect, where a lot of people didn’t know it was an option until the feds lost their minds over it and tried to shut Rare Breed down. Now, they know, and they want in.

Which is all for the better. The more such triggers are out there, the harder it becomes to ban them. 

I disagree with the term “in common use” applying to what can be banned, but since that’s how it works in the courtroom, let’s make these in common use so they’re never touched again.
