FRT-MR3 Performance
During my 18-month field evaluation, the FRT-MR3 maintained consistent 3.5-4.5 lb pull weights across 8,000+ rounds in various environmental conditions. The forced reset mechanism proved particularly effective during rapid fire drills, allowing for controlled pairs at speeds unattainable with standard triggers.
