Which Express FRS pistol fits you?

All three run the Atrius Forced Reset selector. Here is how they differ.

10.5″ Express MLOK

5.56/.223 on a carbine-length gas system with a 9.25″ Express Lock M-LOK handguard. A light, clean setup for M-LOK lights, grips and sling mounts.

See the Express MLOK

10.5″ Express QUAD

The same 10.5″ 5.56/.223 barrel and tuned buffer and spring system, with a 9.5″ Express Lock quad rail for rail-mounted gear.

See the Express QUAD

12″ Express .22LR Pistol

A dedicated .22LR pistol, not a conversion kit, with a 12.1″ barrel and SBA stabilizing brace. Cheaper ammo means more Forced Reset reps.

Why Express

Built To Run™

Forced Reset, installed by us

We fit and time the Atrius Forced Reset selector in every Express FRS pistol, then test fire it in Brownstown, Indiana. No aftermarket install and no guessing on setup.

Tuned for a short barrel

Short barrels cycle hard. On Express pistols the gas system, bolt carrier group and buffer and spring are matched to the FRS, so the pistol runs smooth in SEMI and Super-Semi.

Why factory-installed FRS matters

Made in Brownstown, IN

Family-owned and veteran-owned, built with 100% US-made parts. If a One Horse product fails from a defect in materials or workmanship, we repair or replace it.

FAQ

Express FRS pistol questions

Which One Horse pistols come with a Forced Reset selector?

Three Express FRS pistols: the 10.5″ Express MLOK and 10.5″ Express QUAD in 5.56/.223, and the 12″ Express .22LR pistol. Each one ships with the Atrius Forced Reset selector (FRS) installed, tuned and test fired in Brownstown, Indiana. Our standard and SD pistols do not offer the FRS.

How does the Atrius Forced Reset selector work?

The Atrius FRS has three positions: SAFE, SEMI and Super-Semi. In Super-Semi the selector pushes the trigger forward after every shot, and it still fires one round per trigger pull. A single-side FRS is standard, and an ambidextrous FRS is offered as an installed upgrade on the product page.

What is the difference between the Express MLOK and Express QUAD?

Both are 10.5″ 5.56/.223 Express FRS pistols with a carbine-length gas system and a buffer and spring system tuned for the shorter barrel. The Express MLOK uses a 9.25″ Express Lock M-LOK handguard. The Express QUAD uses a 9.5″ Express Lock quad rail.

Is the 12″ Express .22LR pistol a conversion kit?

No. It is a complete, dedicated .22LR pistol with a 12.1″ rimfire barrel, an SBA stabilizing brace and the Atrius Forced Reset selector, configured and tested together at our shop. No owner tuning is required.

Do Express FRS pistols ship to my door?

No. One Horse ships firearms only to licensed FFL dealers, and retail firearm orders get free shipping to your FFL. You must be 21 or older and complete the transfer through your FFL. Check your state and local laws before you buy.

Can I finance an Express FRS pistol?

Yes. One Horse offers financing through Credova. Each pistol card shows an estimated monthly payment based on the current price. Click it to see terms.
