I guess maybe all my firearms have forced reset triggers, because I have never fired any firearm on which I had to manually move the trigger forward before I could fire another shot. I guess maybe you could say that a single action revolver doesn't reset the trigger -- but it also doesn't reset the hammer, and when you cock the hammer the trigger resets -- automatically.

You have to release the trigger before it will reset to fire another round in a conventional design.
In a conventional design, you pull the trigger, the shot fires, the action cycles, loading another round and cocking the hammer/striker, but if the trigger is held to the rear, nothing happens. The shooter must release pressure on the trigger, allowing it to go forward under the pressure of the trigger return spring. Then, only then, will the trigger reset--and the shooter can pull it again, if desired.
In an FRT, the trigger is FORCED forward to reset. You don't have to release the trigger, in fact, even if you try to hold it to the rear, it will be driven forward anyway.
