Upgraded trigger for Glock--Discussion Please

[Texasgordo]

Colt 2000 All American has the worst trigger I've ever seen. Cool pistol but the trigger ruins it.

The colt 2000 and VP70 are probably tied for having the worst trigger

That wasn't the question the OP left though. Anyone who has ever shot a Glock will tell you the trigger is far from prefect. And of course the trigger will smooth out after a break in period. But that won't solve all the issues with a Glock trigger. Stock and ammo is what everyone says is the best training method. This isn't the same argument.

So this is the first time a thread strayed from the OP?

Your post uses so many “absolutes” (bolded above) that it’s ridiculous…

Many people buy Glocks and keep them stock and get by just fine.

“Break inperiods are more like “wear down” actions, and not something that happens over time, but through repetition.

And curious, how many Glocks have you actually owned that makes you an expert? Or are you a factory trained armorer?

OP’s question was a good one, but Zacks answer was relevant to the point.

Where in my response did I say anything about being an expert? As for how many Glocks I have owned, why difference does that make to my comment. Ask anyone that's shot a Glock and you will get the same response. The triggers are meh at best. Did someone piss in your Cheerios this morning? You seem overly standoffish for a simple opinion. But hey, you do you.

Hope you mean the 2.0.

What happened to Glock perfection we keep hearing over and over? Oh wait I get it.

Because a lot of complaining about glock triggers is overblown BS.

I've shot a glock, lots of glocks. I personally had the following glocks

G19 gen 4, 3,500 rounds

G19X gen 5, 43,000ish rounds

G45 gen 5, 22,000ish rounds

I say ish because i was going by RSA replacement instead of keeping close tabs on the ammo i shot

Most of these rounds were accumulated back in 2016-2019 when i was able to source boxes of 9mm for $7 a box

On the other end, i have owned a SAI TRP, a Les Baer premier II, and my current carry gun is a Beretta PX4 from LTT, so i know full well what a good custom trigger is.

The glock trigger is fine. It is a great trigger for a no frills, dead simple carry gun

I place people that replace OEM parts of their pistols into two categories.

One group, simply because they "think" they need the upgraded parts, or those that replace them because the cool kids did it.

Second group, are people that actually shoot lots of rounds and can appreciate the sometimes subtle changes upgraded parts make to the operation of the firearm, and those that only change to upgraded parts that actually benefit the use they have for the firearm.

My belief is that the average shooter will never shoot enough rounds to truly appreciate the changes made, vs the OEM parts.

More absolutes. LOL!

And “overly standoffish”? Maybe. Apologies to all who are offended.


I’ve shot a LOT of Glocks and shot a lot of rounds through Glocks. I don’t know what a “meh” trigger is. Certainly it’s not like my Staccato or my Sig or my Walther.

And sure I like to polish them, and have replaced a few, but honestly mostly for my own curiosity. If all I ever did to my Glocks was swap sights, I would still own more of them than any other gun brand, because consistency, parts interchangeability, and reliability are my main concerns.

So yes, Nick, thanks for allowing me to be me…LOL!

You must have gotten a bad trigger from ZEV then. I have them in probably 3 builds and I would take them over any other aftermarket trigger. The only downside to me is the price on them. Apex are good but nothing to get excited about.

The amount of creep in the trigger was horrendous.

Most people aren’t patient enough to put enough rounds through one to smooth the trigger up.

But that in no way affects the function of the gun.

I have a G23 gen 3 that actually has the best trigger I've ever felt in a Glock. It is 100% stock that I polished all the connecting surfaces, and I have a lot of rounds through it. Like all Glocks it has a long initial pull but unlike others I have tried it then has a wall with a crisp break. It's a little heavy for my preference but only by 1/2lb or so. I've tried various connectors in it and while they will reduce the weight, I lose the crisp break.
My Timmney is very light and smooth but there is the long initial pull and creep before the trigger breaks after it hits a very soft wall. I also feel it is slow on the reset. In reality I find it kind of mushy feeling. All personal preference.
You need to just try out everything you can until you find what you like the best. Back when I was playing around with the different connectors and springs I decided the double diamond was the one for me. My dad hated it. We can argue all day about which is best but in the end it all comes down to which is best for you. Really helps to keep the cost down if you have a buddy or 2 that are in the same boat. That way you can all get something and loan it to everyone and then decide which you like best.

If Glocks are perfection why do you have to change so much on them?

 

[bbslider001]

Timney seems to be the consensus. Nothing wrong with my stock trigger or my shooting. I am consistent out to 50 yards. Looking for competing purposes. That is it. No rabbit hole to go down. Just exploring options.

Sounds like polishing might be an option as well. Good education. Appreciate the input.

Because perfect for me may not be perfect for you. It's marketing don't read too much into it.

People take themselves too seriously.

Glock and 1911 owners are chief among them sometimes.

Since I no longer have Glocks or 1911s and I never used them to gage my self worth and personal identity I will happily poke fun at all you all who are given to opjectophilia
