Am I the only guy that doesn't like the Gen5 trigger?
I've owned two Gen5's...one of the first G19's and a recent G17 MOS (both since traded away).
I've also owned Gen4 guns (also long gone) and always find myself coming back to the Gen3 or Gen2's. They just seem to fill my hand right and have great triggers.
I have finally just come to accept I MUCH PREFER the factory Gen2/Gen3 triggers (Gen4 had the stupid bump on the trigger bar).
I want to give MRD another chance on a Glock. I'm pondering trying to find an old Gen2 or one of the repro-P80's (if I can find one).
Thoughts?

This right here. You don’t buy a Glock. You buy a 1911 and pay a reputable Smith to work it.
I guess I’m weird, I’ve tried Glock multiple times and sold them all for a myriad of reasons already mentioned. I bought a 17.5 specifically for GSSF matches and it’s the first Glock I can actually tolerate enough to say that I could learn to like them if I had to.
My last one was a 34.4 MOS bought used but pristine off of a tactical Timmy. I took it to the range, fired a mag, didn’t believe it and fired another just to make sure. That thing had a 2.25lb trigger all day long that broke cleaner than my tuned TRP. I took it home and yanked out all of the ZEV Ultimate parts and springs, put them in a bag and sold them online. Then installed all new factory Glock parts. I would have never had any confidence that it was close to being safe with the ZEV stuff in it. That’s not a slap on ZEV as I’ve no idea who installed it and their qualifications. After that it had the absolute shittiest trigger on the planet. High Point has never produced a trigger that shitty. No amount of polishing or disconnector tweaking and swapping without compromising the factory coatings would fix it, so I sold the gun.
The 17.5 feels like nirvana in comparison. The lack of repeatability in Glock and S&W M&P triggers from gun to gun is maddening. H&K doesn’t seem to be a crapshoot so why can’t the ones that are everywhere show some consistency?
Every Gen 5 I’ve shot has had better triggers than any previous Gen Glock that I’ve ever owned or handled. All the rest of the .5 updates are just gravy.
