Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Polishing the Gen 5 G17 trigger components project

Man, your work looks similar to GG smithin !

When I did my Gen 5 19 two weeks ago I just stoned enough to remove the tool marks. you lay the stone at the edge of a table. the sear engagement is not a 90^ and the this allows you to polish it without changing the angle. But I completely understand your reluctance to do that. It is risky like any modification of guns is.

Best Christmas ever!!! Arrived while I was in the shower out on the porch.
LOL!!!

I gotcha man.
This polished up real nice .
Flat and mirror like.

You just shot down my little red balloon man with a load of 00 buck.

Rene, those Dawson Sights are nice!

I used my brothers LEO discount to have some Trijicon HDs put on my 19.

Getting rid of the plastic sights is a big plus.

Just gotta see what this pistol shoots tight for ammo.
#1 and # 2
Adjust it to # 1 and squirrel away a bunch of both.

Then shoot some HP,s and find the one that matches the tgt ammo POA POI the best.
And get about 200 of those.

Just funnin ya bloke !!

Let me help you press the easy button!
Winchester 9MM NATO Ball and LE Gold Dot +P 124gr.
Proven combo.

I have been looking for the win 124 nato load.
Have seen it at academy early last week.
Next time it pops I'm getting 2 bxs.
Might even show up tommorow.
Academy is like a box of chocolates. Lol!!!
And the 124 gold dot in bxs of 50 are around.

That win nato load I traded off this morning for the PMC
Was 115 grain flat nose at like 1320 fps.
And it dont show up often from what I have been seeing.
Academy has it a decent price of around 32 33 a box for 100
Midsouth was selling it about 2 weeks ago at a little over 50 a box.
Looking for win white box 115 also.
Have wheeled and dealed in a metric schitt ton of that over the last 2 months.
But last couple weeks none.
Have had alot of the browning 115 also.

They will pop up.
I will buy em.

I know man.
Dog reminds me of Baylor.
Same body characteristics and short tight fur.


Baylor... AKA: Baby Huey thinks he is the right size for the chair.
🥴🥴🥴🥴😄😄😄

Well I'm getting a consistent 4.75 area.
Got a 1/2 pd basically off it from friction reduction.
Trigger should settle in once I shoot about 500 rds.
The take up is way more positive in feel than what it was.
Consistent all the way to the wall.
It is a good trigger to begin with anyways.
But not a G24 trigger.

The break seemed more crisp with no creep into it.
Just right their. Which is good.
Over travel feels the same, cant do much about that other than look at aftermarket connectors.
Reset was a improvement louder and more feel on the finger which aids muscle memory finger wise and not going forward all the way again to start another squeeze cycle at the beginning.
IE faster 2nd shot once your mind and finger put it together with practice.

I might stop at the Glock shop in Nashville next time I'm down their and see if they have a spring kit, shaving another 1/2 pd might be possible

Might not.....
Gotta run some rounds thru it 1st and see what it settles out at.

Back in the salad days, the best "trigger job" for a Glock was shooting a few cases of ammo through it.

Now, polishing makes a lot more sense.

Everyone in TN have their shower out on the porch?

Lucas Extreme Duty Gun Grease is the best I have used. I use their oil as well.

Ha,ha, after Mother's Day lunch food coma !



Fugg, 120lb lap dogs !

Your name is RenNickel after that trigger job.

You can't go wrong w/ Dawson sights. A ton of dryfire is my favorite way to polish Glock triggers and shooters. After market parts are cool for fun guns but are usually less reliable than OEM for a carry gun in my experience. I put Vickers extended slide lock/release and mag release on mine and good sights and leave everything else stock. I replace the recoil spring and guide rod and the trigger spring every 5k rounds w/ OEM parts.

Sight set done in about 20 mins.
The clicks on this thing are really postive and firm.
Well made dual spring elevation tension evenly balanced on the plane of the sight.
Had ta sand bottom of dovetail per instructions.
Slid halfway in.
Some firm taps drove it in nicely.
The company supplied aluminum drift punch fits exactly in the dove tail.
Really no way to fugg up the job or mar finish on the sight or gun.
Unless your Joe Biden swinging a hammer.

Front sight easy.
Company glock sight tool.
Nice tight fit into oval slot, no play or cant L or R on it.

Pretty happy with the overall quality of these Dawson sights.

Pics or it didn’t get installed lol
