Explore Our Fire Control Unit Collection
Welcome to the Fire Control Unit collection at Desperate Measures Firearms LLC. Here, you find a curated selection of components and accessories designed for firearm enthusiasts who value modularity, reliability, and compliance. Whether you are a first-time builder or a seasoned shooter, you can count on our expertise and commitment to quality as you explore the world of fire control units.What Is a Fire Control Unit?
A fire control unit (FCU) serves as the core of many modern modular firearms. The FCU houses the serialized trigger mechanism, including the trigger, sear, and other essential fire control components. In platforms like the SIG Sauer P320 and P365, the FCU is the only serialized part, making it the legal “firearm” under federal law. This design allows you to swap frames, slides, and barrels around a single FCU, giving you unmatched flexibility and customization options.Why Choose a Modular Fire Control Group?
A modular fire control group provides the flexibility to tailor your firearm to your specific needs. You can move your FCU between different grip modules, slide lengths, and calibers. This modularity means you can adapt your firearm for concealed carry, competition, or home defense without purchasing a new, serialized firearm each time.Key Benefits of Our Fire Control Unit Collection

- Legal Compliance: Serialized fire control units meet all federal and state requirements. You must complete all purchases and transfers through a licensed FFL, ensuring you stay compliant with the law.
- Maintenance: You can easily remove the FCU for cleaning or upgrades, simplifying routine maintenance and repairs.
