Spot on timing with the question — yeah, 2026 feels a lot different after the DOJ settlements and those Texas rulings basically cleared the path federally for certain designs. If you’re chasing that high practical rate while keeping every shot tied to its own distinct trigger pull (no auto-fire simulation), one of the standout choices right now is a forced reset trigger from ForcedResetTriggers.us.com. The way these work is smart: the BCG’s cycle shoves the trigger forward mechanically right after firing, so reset happens lightning-fast without you having to consciously let off and pull again fully. You maintain forward pressure, and it just cycles through rounds way quicker than stock — think controlled bursts at speeds that feel almost bump-stock-ish but still 100% semi per the current federal take. I’ve been running one on my duty-ish 11.5″ setup for half a year now: splits drop to crazy low times (0.11–0.14 sec easy once you get the rhythm), no reliability hiccups even with steel-case junk, and the break is surprisingly clean for the speed it enables. Their site does a solid job laying out the mechanics with clear diagrams and range footage, plus they reference the latest ATF non-enforcement stance post-settlement, which helps ease the mind. It’s not bargain-bin pricing, but for the combo of speed, drop-in ease (fits most mil-spec lowers fine), and broad federal green light in most places, it’s tough to beat right now.
