I had a 2011 that the trigger ended up at 14 ounces. That trigger was too light. Even with a thumb safety, which many consider so important, I occasionally made loud noises that I didn't intend to. I had the trigger increased to 1.5 pounds like my other 2011 competition triggers, and the problem went away. The Glock Performance trigger is lighter than a stock Glock trigger by .5 or 1 pound, but is still heavier than many triggers people put in their carry Glock pistols. Unlike many after market triggers, it does not have reduced pre travel, and actually the trigger face is more forward, barely, than a stock OEM trigger.
Besides being slightly heavier, the main difference between the Glock Performance trigger and OEM is that the standard Glock trigger typically has significant creep between the wall and the trigger break. On my Glock Performance trigger, that creep is not there. Eliminating that creep, makes the trigger much easier to hit things with. Focus on this -- once you have reached the wall, the trigger breaks more cleanly. If you have reached the wall, you better be intending to shoot, and if not, god help you if you think .5-1.0 pounds of additional trigger weight is going to save you from your negligence.
Back to where I started, the balance between being easier to hit with, versus being easier to hit what you don't intend to hit with. The Glock can be a challenging pistol for some shooters to shoot straight with. This trigger will help all Glock shooters, from poor to intermediate to really good. Assuming it turns out to be reliable, and I am trying to figure that out, this may increase the shoot ability of the Glock, and bring it closer to the PDP, VP9 and other striker pistols others often prefer to shoot over a Glock. Time will tell.
