Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Glock Triggers

Anyone use the Ghost Edge or similar and decide like me to go back to factory?

I like the solid feel before the break. Gets lighter with an Edge connector but not as crisp.

Just wondering....more I shoot them the better I like them stock except for the controls (prefer ext mag release and slide release)

The ZEV V4 Race connector is the best I've tried & all of my Glocks now have one in them.

Couple that with a competition (heavier) trigger spring, everything polished up & you will generally end up at around 4-4.5 lb & significantly crisper than stock.........just remember that nothing is ever going to be like a 1911 trigger no matter what the advertising says.

One of the keys in shooting a striker fired gun is just to pull the trigger straight through.........can't pull it exactly like a single stage because of the stacking, so once you begin, pull it straight through w/o babying it, if you get my drift.

Also on any of my Glock that use the very abrasive (to me) grooved trigger, I replace those with a smooth trigger.

Just what works for me, YMMV.

I never did understand all the fuss about the issue trigger. I find it works just fine.

Some of the stock Glock triggers feel just fine, others not so much; Some get to the point of being OK with just some polishing, some not so much.

Just depends on how you like your triggers to feel.

Most seem to improve over time with use.

Just depends on how you like your triggers to feel.

Did I say it just depends on how you like your triggers to feel?

I don't usually want to wait for the 5K round mark for my triggers to feel like I like to to feel.........hence, I speed things up a bit.

Never met a Glock trigger that didn't feel better to me after a little TLC.

Same here. I used to hate it. Now I prefer it. Just a matter of putting the time in.

Are you a settler?

Yep. Cable TV for me. LOL.

Slow is smooth, and slow is still slow.

Evo Elites with spring kits in all of mine plus a polish on all surfaces with a Dremel and polishing compound.

At first I missed the 'two stage' hard stop but got over it quickly. My shooting buddy hasn't changed his yet and it's VERY noticeable shooting his next to mine. All my Glocks now have the same 'feel' and that feel is much smoother, crisper and lighter.

I won't be going back.

I have a kit in my 43 and like it. One of my 19's was purchased with a bunch of work unbeknownst to me. It still has a felt stop but with much less effort to break. Wish all mine were like it but you can still feel a point which you know just a little more and it's going BANG.

I like being able to take up the slack and hold it right there knowing just a little more pressure it's going to fire.....

Yes, a good 1911 is a different world. I have a nice Dan Wesson and a NH Talon. Sweetness....
Dave

If it works for you, but IMO, no.

It's a two stage trigger; shoot it that way.

My comment is aimed towards assuming you intend to shoot when you begin the trigger pull..........if the situation requires taking up the slack or 1st stage & holding, then obviously, the trigger is not pulled straight through.

And yes, it works for me, especially in any kind of speed shooting.

Straight through on round one.... just like Shane.... then the rest are fired from reset.

Be cautious running trigger mods in a carry pistol.... there could be legal ramifications for that modification if the pistol ever has to shoot a "bad guy".... remember, they have "rights" too.

The Fulcrum Trigger is my favorite

Yep.

+2 Glocks rule for this reason, among others.

I've wondered about this myself. I have a pyramid trigger sitting in a box that I ordered for a G19. I carry the pistol on occasion and have concerns about that.

OK, for the first round on a quick shot, yeah. But if you're pressing "all the way through" on subsequent shots you're not shooting from reset. You shouldn't need to use the full stroke of the trigger every shot, like you would on a double action revolver.

Maybe it's just my interpretation of your wording, but your original comment makes it sound like more work on trigger control would help you. If that's not you, then this can help clarify it for those who don't know any better.

What are you basing that on?

Nothing.... other than having heard it a couple times from CC instructors. Something about gun company lawyers....

You slick-up the trigger in your duty rig?
