Was thinking about taking it for a spin, and see how she does..

    Thank you!! It appears that mine is probably an earlier gen 5, as it does not have this feature..

    Mine too.

    FWIW my early mismatch nose G19.5 is over 4K rounds, still shoots great. I finally put ten in the black over about 45 seconds at 10 yards last week. Not a huge deal for most here but for me it was a signal accomplishment.

    I don’t recall a malfunction. She ain’t pretty but I bet my life on my Glock.

    The oldest Glock I have with this feature is a BHNK. None of my Glocks starting with BG or earlier had the new breech cut.

    Sorry for asking something that has been discussed. I just can not find it. What is a RELIABLE way to drop the trigger pull weight. I thought I had read changing striker spring and something else? Mine is a early gen 5 and the trigger is not great. The 19x I owned had a superb trigger and the newer g17 also had a better trigger.

    I do not really want to change shoes and stuff. But would like to clean the trigger up a wee bit and shave weight if possible. Please do not say shoot it. It has plenty of rounds through it. It has not gotten worse. It just was never great from the start.

    My department only allows factory components so for me that means a factory minus connector. I don’t have the option to change out springs but I’ve been very happy with the minus connector from Glock. Might give it a try.

    For Post#2744, each part which moves during a Glock trigger pull may need to be scrutinized. Anything could be causing a different/bad/rough trigger-pull compared to another Glock which feels better.

    Some parts to examine:
    -trigger w/trigger bar
    -trigger mechanism housing
    -connector
    -firing pin safety
    -firing pin
    -channel liner
    -firing pin spring cups
    -firing pin spring

    Lubrication between the trigger bar and connector seems to be left out of many Youtube videos I've seen. Accordingly, ensure that interface is lubed.

    The two which I've initially missed over the years is the trigger mechanism housing and firing pin spring cups.

    Mine all have at least a factory minus connector and a 5lb striker spring. Competition only guns get more but I'm happy with that set up in a carry gun. Its proven reliable in tens of thousands of rounds in multiple pistols. Mostly rounds with S&B or Fiochi primers. So I'm confident it will set off anything I would choose to carry.

    If reliability matters, stick with OEM components.
    Option: a set of 19X or M internals.
    Option: order a quantity of OEM fire-control related parts and swap each until you find the best combination.
