Franklin Armory Binary Trigger for Glock

Franklin Armory has been creating binary triggers for a while now. However, this is their first binary trigger specifically made for the Glock. Coming with an entire slide and trigger, this trigger will not interfere with hooded holsters and is very attractive in appearance. With the third/binary position being located on the slide it is easy to reach and manipulate no matter what configuration you are running your Glock in, i.e. with a brace or not. Note that there are three positions: semi, safe, and binary. That safe position allows users to cancel their second binary round, the round fired on the reset.

Franklin Armory’s first binary trigger is almost unnoticeable due to being mounted on their proprietary slide that resembles a Glock side. This resemblance allows standard Glock holsters to fit the firearm and not interfere with hoods.

Main Features

  • Fits Glock Model 17-Gen 3, and more models are slated to be released.
  • Selectable binary with a slide-mounted selector.
  • Release round is cancellable, simply pull the trigger for the first round, and if you don’t want the second round to fire switch the selector to safe as you are holding the trigger. When the trigger is released the second round will not fire.
  • Due to being mounted on the slide, there is nothing protruding from the back of the pistol as other Glock binary triggers do. This allows the pistol to still be used with a hooded holster.
  • The Kit includes a slide and a trigger.
  • When using a brace, the selector is still reachable due to being mounted on the rear side of the slide.

This trigger can be run with or without a brace due to being ergonomically friendly. The selector also features a safe option that can cancel the second round on a trigger press.

Coming Soon

This trigger was shown at last year’s SHOT Show, 2022. However, Franklin Armory has since made updates and re-released it this year. Due to this and as Franklin Armory has stated, it is slated to be available for purchase this year and a specific number on the price has not been set.
