Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns 10 mm semi options

A pretty basic/simple starting point for an improved Glock trigger is a factory "-" connector and an extra power trigger spring. (The extra power spring actually reduces trigger pull weight.) That gives a pretty substantial improvement in about 95% of the Glocks I've tried it in. A NiB coated striker can help too.

I like to use an overtravel stop of some sort too. Some of the aluminum triggers have overtravel screws built in. Another option which I like is the Lone Wolf ejector housing with a set screw in it, although I really don't like Lone Wolf much as a company and hate to recommend them, but that one part does work well.

Despite how interchangeable Glock parts are, when it comes to tuning the triggers just right I've found it best to treat each gun as it's own thing, and I usually end up with slightly different combinations of parts in each to get the trigger I want. On some I go so far as to adjust striker engagement by bending the trigger bar, and tightening the slide rails for more precise control over trigger engagement. (That doesn't help accuracy in a Glock, it just eliminates some variability in engagement so it can be tuned a little more crisp.)

With that said, the best drop-in trigger kit I've felt is the full Zev kit, but it's very expensive IMO. It does give a very nice trigger that is light with a crisp break. I don't use it on most of mine because of the cost, but if a guy is willing to spend the coin for the best, that's the direction I'd recommend in today's market.

I've heard good things, but I've no experience with Glock aftermarket triggers. I have always owned the same old 5.5# triggers on mine. I only own 3 Glocks now, and my favorite, a Gen 3 19 has enough rounds through it(~25K) that it is actually pretty nice.

I finally got out and ran a couple of boxes of ammo through my new XDM 10mm. I tried to limp wrist it with a loose 1 handed hold and everything and didn't have a single failure to feed or fire. It ran perfectly and as fast as I could pull the trigger.

Obviously a lot more testing to be done but for s brand new gun it looks very promising. I really like the way it feels and shoots.i love my glock 20 but it can hang up on occasion I think due to limp wristing. If I could get kkm to make a 40 barrel for my xdm I think I'd just sell the glock and go Springfield all the way.

A quality 1911 in10mm is very hard to beat when it comes to a sweet trigger pull.

That is just awesome!

way outta my price range. Neat tho

No doubt!

Must be a Louisiana thing. I've been a Texas law enforcement officer since 1987 and have never seen police shoot as badly as you say you did.

I have carried and shot a 4" S&W Mod 29 4 screw since I believe 1974 and a 3" Mod 629 for 15 -20 years. Love the guns but not loving the full power Keith loads any longer, they are killing my arthritic hands. So I think I'm about to try to sell or trade the 4" for a Glock 20 ( I've tried running the slides on several different brands and the Glock is diffently the easiest for my hands to work. The questions I have are where the best heavy load ( 220 gr)load data can be found. I did pick up 100 new Starline brass and a set of dies, stilllooking for bullets. I'm hearing Blue Dot as a good Powder, how about H110 or 296 . I normally load 2400 for heavy 44 loads and 700X for light loads. Also any thoughts on holsters? I thinking maybe a hipper with a thumb break. Thanks for any help .--- Mel

Thought I'd chime in here - for you guys wanting more out of a Glock 20, I just put a Bar-Sto barrel in the classifieds, because I'm already set up for mine and don't need it. I think the price is fair but make me an offer if you don't think so.

...instead of running full Keith loads why not just go to a slightly faster burning powder and drop the velocity down to 11-1200 instead of 1400... Most of my .41 loads for the DA revolvers are in the 950-1200 range,,,

Also wondering if you have ever shot a G20 with heavy loads before...it is no joy...mine went down the road...as did a G29. The G40 is still here and much more pleasant to shoot...

I'm running 200 grain HC from Montana Bullet Works with Longshot powder and getting 1250.... Tried AAC-9Power Pistol and Unique and got the best velocities wit Longshot.

As to Glock triggers...my G40 started bulging cases REAL bad and after I took the gun apart I found that the guy who had it before me had installed a 3.5# Ghost Trigger unit and springs and had "forgot to tell me" nor had he included the original parts. He sent them to me and all of a sudden all the case bulging disappeared... Also then put in a Lone Wolf stainless guide rod and heavier spring....

Bob, what was the ghost trigger and springs doing? I guess the gun was gun firing out of battery?

Thanks for the input Bob, and yes I've loaded all kinds of loads for the 44. And will not be abandoning it anytime soon, also have a 6" M29. I plan on shooting KK Alaska's Glock 20 before jumping totally in. I don't have a problem shooting my 1911 Kimber or LW Colts officers ACP so I'm guessing the Glock will work OK I must admit the idea of 15 rounds in hand does appeal when in the vicinity of some of our local furry friends. Although Phil proved a 9mm is enough with the right bullet. But alas I'm not Phil. --- Mel

I agree. I really like my g40.

Curious about this also...

I have to think something else was going on there that you didn't catch. The trigger parts just don't have anything to do with bulging cases or firing out of battery. An extra-power striker spring works against the recoil spring a little bit, but those usually are only 1 lb extra, and aren't usually installed by people looking for a lighter trigger with a 3.5 lb connector.

Best 10mm semi option is to replace it with a 45 Super.

Sorry, I had the right to remain silent. But, I did not have the ability.

Given that I already owned a Ruger Buckeye convertible and a first issue Smith 610 it made zero sense to not go Glock G40 MOS.

From the reading I have done it is not only the recoil spring that retards the opening of the gun but also the trigger springs... The gun was not firing out of battery but the lighter springing of the gun allowed it to start opening before the pressure levels had dropped to a safe level.
