A Binary Trigger is a pull and release trigger designed, patented, and sold by Franklin Armory®.[1] (The term Binary® is a Franklin Armory® trademark.[2] ) A Binary® Trigger is a device that allows the operator of a semi-automatic firearm to fire on the pull of the trigger and fire again on the release of the trigger. However, it does not increase the rate of fire of the firearm.[3] (The rate of fire is determined by a host of other factors including action length, gas port size, ammunition, etc.)

Binary® Triggers are often found in new Franklin Armory® firearms, but there are several Original Equipment Manufacturers that include Binary® Triggers in their factory offerings.[4] Additionally, Binary® Triggers may also be purchased as an accessory for installation in consumer firearms. In doing so, factory installed trigger is replaced by the Binary® Trigger assembly. As in all semi-automatic firearms, only one round is fired with a single function of the trigger. This allows firearms outfitted with a Binary® Trigger to be classified as semiautomatic (and NOT a machine gun within the definitions used by United States federal law.) Various ATF letter rulings strongly support this decision.[5][6] However, as with all private-letter rulings, determinations on the legality of Binary Triggers is limited to the specific facts about the devices being examined. Any such legal opinion may be modified or revoked at any subsequent time by the Supreme Court of the United States as was recently demonstrated in the Garland V. Cargill decision.

After the 2015 market introduction, Binary® Triggers have become very popular in the United States. Franklin Armory® Binary® Triggers have received multiple nominations for "Accessory Manufacturer of the Year", and in 2022 received the award for the "Accessory Manufacturer of the Year" from the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers.[7]
