Active Safety Designs manufactures cutting-edge trigger and selector systems for modern firearms. Their flagship product is the ARC-Fire—an ambidextrous selector trigger featuring patent-pending Active Reset Clutch (ARC) technology. Unlike traditional triggers, the ARC-Fire forces the trigger to reset immediately after each shot, enabling rapid, precise follow-up shots at one round per trigger action.
