Hoffman Tactical introduces the 'Super Safety,' an innovative active trigger reset system for the AR-15 platform. This push-button system replaces the standard safety selector and offers a unique 'Active Reset' mode that mechanically resets the trigger during bolt cycling, significantly reducing split times. The system is open-source and 3D-printable, with recommendations for specific materials like Polymaker PA12-CF for durability.

Quick Summary

The Hoffman Tactical Super Safety is an AR-15 active trigger reset system featuring a push-button interface and three positions: Safe, Semi, and Active Reset. The 'Active Reset' mode mechanically resets the trigger during bolt cycling, significantly reducing split times while remaining legally semi-automatic.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Hoffman Tactical Super Safety system?

The Super Safety is an active trigger reset system for the AR-15 platform. It replaces the standard safety selector with a push-button interface and features a unique 'Active Reset' mode that mechanically resets the trigger during bolt cycling.

How does the Super Safety's 'Active Reset' mode work?

In 'Active Reset' mode, as the bolt carrier group moves rearward after firing, it engages a lever that rotates a cam, physically pushing the trigger back into its reset position before the bolt returns to battery.

Is the Super Safety system legal?

Yes, the Super Safety is designed to remain legally semi-automatic because it requires a distinct trigger pull for each shot fired, despite the mechanical assistance in resetting the trigger.

What materials are recommended for 3D printing the Super Safety?

The recommended material for 3D printing the Super Safety is Polymaker PA12-CF (carbon fiber nylon) for its durability. Metal versions, particularly 17-4 stainless steel, are also shown for increased robustness.
