Poll: Glock owners; what's your trigger?

[sidheshooter]

What, if anything, have you done to the stocker, and why?

 

[Balrog]

I haven't done anything to mine. Remember, a Glock is already perfection, so adjustments will only do damage.

 

[Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow]

Yeah.....*cough, cough, ahem* ....that's it.

Bone stock with a Cominolli thumb safety kit.

Why?
Because Glock forgot to put a thumb safety on it!

[HippieMagic]

Bone stock because I am just not that picky.

 

[DR505]

Regular 5.5 lb. trigger.

 

[Lakeshore]

Bone stock and will never tinker with the triggers. Can't improve on perfection.

I hear where you are coming from. I felt that way right up until I tried option 4 (NY-1 and 3.5 "-" connector)...

 

[Mikhail Weiss]

Changed G19's stock connector to Lone Wolf 3.5# connector. The change made an immediate difference on my 15 to 25 yard targets, but not much discernible difference, if any, on closer ones (7, 5, 3 yards).

Unsupported offhand accuracy at 25 yards went from aggravating ten-inch or twelve-inch groups to slightly improved eight-inch groups (taking my slow time). At 15 yards, it seemed much easier to shoot with a fair amount of speed, putting holes in a 3-inch circle, which surprised the heck out of me since, before, I couldn't reliably achieve that kind of accuracy at that pace as I seemed aggravatingly inclined to drop shots by jerking the stiffer trigger. For closer ranges (seven yards or less), at which I want to blast rounds into an eight-inch circle as fast as I can, I can't tell that it makes any difference.

As far as the before and after trigger pulls compare, the before pull was noticeably harder, but once it broke, it broke. After, the pull clearly feels lighter, but there's maybe ¼ inch of squish before the trigger breaks and the gun fires. Reset appears unchanged.

Swapping out the connector is the only modification I've made. After fourteen years, the sights are still the original plastic ones, but I've replaced the worn out recoil spring, replaced a broken extractor and trigger spring, plus added a few new magazines, though the originals still work just fine.

Stock trigger.

Scherer 3.5

I swapped my new Mod 21's stock connector for the Scherer, and I may drop in the Ghost Rocket 3.5 with the trigger stop just for fun. I am awaiting new springs and a titanium nitrided firing pin safety plunger from Brownell's now - ordered Monday, may be here tomorrow. The nice thing is that you can put the factory stuff back in if you don't like it/doesn't work, and you're not out big $ at all. An action and trigger job on my Combat Commander (with Heinie sights, too) ran me about $300; it was by a world-class smith (Alex Hamilton) and I never worried about it not being what I wanted. But I would have ruined it trying to do it, so the ability to do it on the Glock with impunity is really great. Gruess Gott, Herr Glock!

Option is not listed but my previous Glock had a 4.5lb (more accurate description) connector and the 25 cent trigger job done.

 

[Geno]

All are stock except the G19C, which wears a 3.5 pound trigger.

 

[ChristopherG]

I tried a variety of improvements on the triggers of my various Glocks, including polishing, springs, and connectors. Then I gave up and went to straight stock and found it was as good as anything, near as I could tell, once you shot it a good deal. Until I found the ultimate drop-in replacement part that made my Glock trigger what I'd always wanted it to be.

I bought a 1911.

Okay, kidding aside (even though it's true, and the Glocks don't get much work these days...), I did do various work and ended up with a stock 3.5 lb 35 and a stock 3.5 lb 19.

My G30SF has the Glockmeister Complete Stock Competition Trigger Package.

Glockmeister has put together a package that will allow the Glock enthusiast to add performance to his/her gun with a minimum of effort. With the kit, the shooter will be able to switch between their competition trigger set-up and their stock set-up with the removal of a couple of pins. The kit includes the stock competition trigger kit mounted in a new trigger mechanism housing (for the specific caliber) with a hand selected trigger with trigger bar assembly - completing the drop-in package. This is a complete package, so there is no juggling of small parts necessary. A major benefit to this package is the fact that you retain the carry parts for replacement if you sell the gun or periodically use the gun for carry. Additionally, the gun does not have to go out to an Armorer for an extended period of time for modification. The unit is tested for perfection - it is one of our finest pieces of work.

The NY1 and NY2 are not "triggers", they are trigger springs. The trigger is the thing you put your finger on.

[jazzman]

I put a NY 1 trigger spring in my model 26 to see if I would like it. I think I will keep it in there,

[Evela]

G34 and G26 stock, but well-polished. Did change to a smooth trigger with the G26 though. For SD/HD it's the stock 26 to avoid overzealous prosecution even in a "good shoot".

 

[KBintheSLC]

Bone stock with a Cominolli thumb safety kit.

Why?
Because Glock forgot to put a thumb safety on it!

... and we are grateful for that.

 

[GunTech]

I have a Glock NY-1 trigger spring and Ghost Ranger connector I also replaced the trigger with the Lightning Strikes aluminum trigger unit.

The NY-1 makes the gun more like a revolver, with a consistent, uniform pull at about 8 pounds, and a much faster reset.

I am considering the ZEV fulcrum trigger, but at $250 it ain't cheap.

Scherer 3.5, Wolff Reduced Power Striker spring

and the titanium nitrided safety plunger all installed in the Mod 21 now - talk about a nice trigger pull! Ordered Monday night (Labor Day), arrived today. Awesome Brownell's customer service, always. I'm sure the reduced power striker spring made a significant difference, but it is surely much slicker with it all. I added a 19 lb recoil spring and a Wilson polished & hardened recoil spring guide, plus the Wilson recoil buffer and one of the grip gap fillers (simple plug, not the storage type). Range opens tomorrow 0800 - off again on the Accessorizing Trail

 

[jakemccoy]

Bone stock, I'm just not that picky.

 

[Deanimator]

My first Glock, a Glock 22, had the NY1 when I bought it. It went to the smith to have that removed IMMEDIATELY.

My second Glock, an ex-VA Beach Sheriff's Dept. Glock 19, had an 8lb.(?) connector. I hated that too.

Having learned a great deal about Glocks in the years between the two purchases, I acquired Ghost 3.5lb. connectors for both guns and did "$0.25 trigger jobs" on both of them. Now they have pleasant but safe triggers. I don't see much point in a gun that has a trigger so heavy that you can't hit your intended target.

 

[ljnowell]

G21 has a Ghost Rocket 3.5 in it (fitted for near zero overtravel), 4lh striker spring, 6lb trigger spring. Its real slick. Its also never carried.

 

[herkyguy]

STOCK trigger. Stock everything. I just don't know enough to outsmart the guys at Glock.
