Glock Trigger

[Jdl2]

Dear ,

My EDC is a DW CCO or a Sig P938. Yesterday I picked up a new Glock 19 Gen 4 that fits my hand like a glove. I'm hoping to be able to carry this pistol after breaking it in. Haven't shot her yet but did lots of dry firing while watching TV last night. (A great documentary, THE WIDOWMAKER, on Netflix. Everyone needs to watch this! Subject - how to prevent heart attacks. I have two stents in my LAD so this really has me thinking.)

Anyway, I digress_


My initial Glock impression is the trigger pull feels very heavy, very long and very gritty. Is this the typical Glock trigger? After firing several hundred rounds through her can I expect this to improve or is there some mod you Glock guys make to your triggers?

Now , please put a sock in you mouth so you can't phone me , and put mittens on your hands so you can't type a note to me , and give others a chance to share their experience.

Thank you , I love you brother!

Jim

I hope you don't mind if I answer.
First off anyone that's never shot a Glock it takes some getting used to their trigger. One of the things a lot of people don't like them.
That being said check the trigger pull. It should be somewhere around the 5.5 lbs.
Anymore then that it probably has the new York trigger on it.
Also, there are a lot of after market triggers out there for them. Although, I have not used one yet.

Your trigger will become lighter after some shooting. You can Google(Youtube) a Glock 25 cent trigger job. Watch a few videos, it is pretty simple. I also install 3.5Lb connectors in my Glocks, andI polish the internals for a smoother pull. All very simple, all on Youtube. OR....you can go to a local gun show. There is almost always a Glock Certified Armorer at every gun show. Maybe $60-$65 and you'll have a REAL trigger job, replacement springs and connector included. Funny how I used to tune all my Glocks, for decades. Now for the first time I am leaning to going to the gun show, dropping off a gun for a trigger job, and shopping the aisles. I wondered why this was happening to me until I came across my birth certificate and saw the date I was born on.

I will chime in, I have a 21 the 10MM for hunting. I didn't mind the stiff trigger because I am taking long shots with it so it worked out. I like my , its a good gun shoots straight, better after I changed the barrel. I did nothing to my trigger and its lighter than factory now but still stiffer then I would have in a 1911. Just use it as is for now and see how it plays out. You can get trigger kits everwhere on line if you still want to swap out. Glocks are super easy to work on. Very simple gun really.

congrats!

This. .25 trigger job plus 3.5 lb connector, great.

Just to let you know, Glock triggers are Glock Triggers and there is no actual $.25 trigger job or shooting that will smooth out a Glock trigger or make it what you want it to be (No pre, no post travel and a quick reset).

Can this be accomplished, the simple answer is YES!
But it is not $.25 and just taking a little polish to it will also not make it what you want.. There is a lot that goes into it including a set of custom springs etc.

There is actually no 3.5# connector and if you think that just putting a "-" connector in you gun is going to achieve this you are only kidding your self.

It is a name given to the "-" connector but again, there is more to be done to get the trigger where you want it.
Just ask and ask him what he thinks of my trigger jobs.

Yep, I build Glocks for Competition, (Limited & Open) and Glocks for Carry along with special unique Glocks.

Right now working on a 38Super Glock.... good for hunting or competition..

As far as the Glock 43 goes......GREAT gun....although the trigger out of the box it heavy, it is crisp,and breaks fast. With a little work it become a very, very nice trigger in at 4.5#'s with a clean break, no under or over travel and a fast rest.


Anyone in my area that wants to look at and try one of my Custom Glocks including my 43 just give me a call.
My competition 17 breaks about 2#'s and is a convertible Lmited or Open Gun.


As far as having a Block Hand for a Glock....I build lowers that hold and point just like a 1911..

So what Else?????


That is my story and I am sticking to it...........

You're splitting hairs...a simple polishing of internals and a 3.5 connector make a huge difference compared to a stock Glock trigger. Glocks for competition are a different animal than a Glock for self defense.

A Glock will NEVER be a 1911, nor will it ever point/shoot like one. Ever.

Apples and Oranges. Boo Hoo.
