Cleaning up the Gen4 Glock Trigger

[ST911]

If reliability is important, take a quantity of new OEM spare trigger with trigger bars, connectors, firing pin safeties, and firing pins, swapping each until you find the best combo, then let them wear (polish) into each other from there. It doesn't take many of each to find a good combination. Polish at your peril, and all bets are off in the aftermarket. Especially if you introduce new, single components into a system with some wear. Glock fire control component interaction is a little quirkier than most realize. It's not rocket science, but sure as heck not the legos many treat it as.

I polish mine with more ammo and haven't had an issue with a stock Glock trigger since I bought my first in 1989.

Ditto. (Don't tell anyone.)

A consideration, is there seems to be significant variability in individual Glock triggers, even within same model/generation, and close manufacture date. So, putting in X, Y and Z, is not a guarantee of getting the same trigger feel.

I personally, will not use a non Glock OEM connector in a carry Glock. I think TLG learned that lesson with after market connectors during his G17 test.

Would you mind sharing what TLG found? Just a quick summary if ya get a chance.

We had a discussion where I reported Jeff Wilson from GlockTriggers.com, said gaming is different, but for carry he would only use an OEM connector. Jeff obviously knows a bit about Glock triggers. Not a week or two later (don't hold me to the day as it has been a while), TLG broke his Lone Wolf connector, which he had liked because it had roll in it. Todd replaced the LW with OEM.

Years later, when he went to a 19, he may have done something different.

And with a Glock made in 1989 I'm sure that's literally all they needed. My Gen2 G17 requires no tweaking to its trigger as I like it just fine. I can tell you that the Gen4 trigger bar is a noticeably different feel and it wasn't a change for the better IMHO.

I haven't shot it a ton but my Gen4 G17 is the best shooting Glock I've ever owned or fired. If there's an issue with the trigger I'm either oblivious or too ignorant to have noticed. I guess ignorance really is bliss (sometimes).

(My others are Gen 2 (now 3) and 2.5)

There's also a chance that mine just sucks that hard. Or that I'm far too easily distracted/annoyed by weird or off feeling things.

I have gen 3 and 4 glocks. 89 was just my first one. It's long gone. My gen 4 g26 is one of my favorites.

I didn't mean to imply that I had talked to Todd personally about this. This is the blog post that I read that got me to move in this direction.
