The One Horse Express rifle is the first factory-tuned rifle with an FRS included. Honestly, it’s one of the coolest things I’ve seen hit the market this year. Now they’ve made it even better by shortening it. But they didn’t stop there. They’ve also introduced rimfire models in 22 LR.
Let’s dig into the new One Horse Express pistols and rimfires.

The One Horse Express Pistols and Rimfires feature Atrius Development Group’s Forced Reset Selector, making for a compact and fun package. The 22s come in both rifle and pistol formats.

ONE HORSE PISTOL FEATURES
Available with M-LOK and Quad Rail options, both models feature a factory-installed Atrius Development Group Single-Side Forced Reset Selector and are carefully assembled, fitted, timed, and tested. This ensures that the selector, fire control group, gas system, bolt carrier group, and buffer system work seamlessly together. The result is a pistol built for dependable performance right from the start.
The Express Pistol MLOK has a 9.25-inch handguard with seven-sided M-LOK compatibility, dual QD sling points, and an SB Tactical SBA3 stabilizing brace. The Express Pistol Quad Rail replaces this with a 9.5-inch rail featuring four full-length 1913 Picatinny rails, lightening cuts, and an SB Tactical SBA5 brace.
Both models feature a carbine-length gas system with a dimpled and staked low-profile steel gas block, a polished, tuned mil-spec fire control group, a Breek Arms Warhammer Mod2 ambidextrous charging handle, an MPI-inspected M16-profile bolt carrier group, a tuned buffer system, and a THRiL RTG pistol grip.
ONE HORSE RIMFIRE FEATURES
The One Horse Express 22 Rifle and Express 22 Pistol bring the company’s “Built to Run” philosophy to dedicated .22 LR platforms designed for affordable training and high-volume range use.
Rather than relying on a centerfire conversion kit, both firearms feature a purpose-built .22 LR operating system paired with Atrius Development Group’s Forced Reset Selector (FRS) and a serialized One Horse lower receiver. The result is a familiar AR-style platform optimized specifically for rimfire performance.
The Express 22 Rifle features a 16.1-inch barrel and THRiL CCS Combat Competition Stock with dual QD sling mounts, while the Express 22 Pistol pairs a 12.1-inch barrel with a five-position adjustable stabilizing brace. Both models include the THRiL RTG Grip, featuring a 19.5-degree grip angle and laser-textured panels for enhanced control, creating dedicated rimfire firearms built for training without compromising familiar handling.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I’m eager to see the future of One Horse. They’re challenging traditional norms and pushing limits while keeping prices accessible for everyone. Both the Express rimfires and the Express pistols are worth checking out.
