Actually, I understand exactly how it works. I have studied it quite extensively. It simply uses the rearward travel of the bolt carrier to help the trigger reset faster. Perhaps my Sig analogy is oversimplified, however my point is this, the trigger must be pulled for each shot. The assisted reset simply lets you pull the trigger faster, much like the shorter reset does on the Sig. Different mechanical principal, but similar end result. The "rate of fire" enhancers that are previously mentioned (that are prohibited) all work on the principal of a mechanical lever pulling the trigger for you at an enhanced rate. This trigger does not work like that. It is simply resetting the trigger faster so your finger can pull it again faster.If this trigger can be deemed as prohibited, then the Sig short reset should be as well as the end result is the same. The trigger mechanism has been changed (or redesigned) to allow for quicker follow up shots. The thing that is making this one seem so terrible (to some people), is the simple fact that it has the 3rd position to give you 2 different trigger plus with one trigger. If it were simply a 2 position selector with a safe and a rapid reset position this would probably not even be a discussion.

I think the main difference between your analogy and this trigger is that its assisting the reset, which may be something the RCMP will take into account. As far as I'm concerned it shouldn't be prohib but you never know. I wish I could have gone to the Media day at SHOT Show.
Yup, its EVIL! BURN IT! seriously, I think that's a huge part of the reason this is getting the flack it does. Really, its just a mechanism that forces the trigger to reset instead of you manually doing it. You still have to pull the trigger yourself.
It sure doesn't help that their website shows the trigger with a third position selector labelled "auto", they sure messed up on that one.
I'm sure that was simply do to available lowers with three positions open to drop it into. Some of my semi lowers have the stop at the semi position. So that would have to be machined off before you could move the selector all the way over. Easy to do I'm sure but even easier to just take an existing lower with the spot open. Especially in the US where I would imagine they have more of those kicking around.

The slidefire stock doesn't even make contact with any part of the trigger, yet it is prohibited for the very same reasons. It doesn't operate the trigger directly, but assists you in discharging the semi-automatic firearm in rapid succession. It is a device designed specifically to increase the rate of fire of a semi-automatic firearm. Under the spirit of the law, it's prohibited. I understand that there is an argument to be made that it does not technically fall within the definition of a prohibited device, but I can say with almost absolute certainty that the RCMP will determine it is a prohibited device.

100% legal. Does not fire more then one shot with one press of the trigger. It induces trigger slap and moves the triggger to 90% of the distance needed for reset, but not all the way.

Also, there is a gun in Canada now that fires two shots with one trigger pull...and it has an FRT
OK, now you have my curiosity up. What gun is it?

Nope, it has 2 triggers.
Triggers are welded together, so is hammer.
The thing is a tank!

Interesting, but they do not fire in rapid succession, which is what the law is concerned with.
so firing two bullets at the exact same time counts as a single shot fired? not that i would want one but does this mean we could potentially have a gun that fires 5 barrels at once with a single trigger?

No, but the law is only concerned with a firearm that discharges rounds in rapid succession with a single pressure of the trigger (definition of fully automatic firearm as per criminal code), or any device that operates the trigger of a semi automatic firearm that causes it to discharge rounds in rapid succession. The law does not prohibit a firearm that can discharge multiple barrels simultaneously.
Or launch multiple projectiles out of the same barrel with one trigger pull. (Shotguns)
These in Canada yet?
If you are referring to the tac con 3mr yes they are they sell out as fast as they come in though
