Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Is there a better trigger for a Glock?????

I didn't put a whole trigger in mine - I used about 90 worth of various ZEV parts - some they don't make anymore.

It won't ever be a 1911 but it did make my staple gun feel like a pro-staple gun trigger

I'd say you did some pretty schitty research.

Mackay nails it again--not just shots but respectable groups.

There's no reason that a current Glock pistol can't be as accurate as any other handgun, but you have to learn a new trigger technique and push through the travel in that trigger. That said, several things outside the pistol can make your life a living Hell of doubt and frustration until you figure them out:

1. Glock triggers smooth up with use. Google "25 cent trigger job," which gives the same result as cycling the Glock several thousand times. Do that trigger job on the stock parts and reinstall them in the gun.

2. Test ammo. A lot of it, especially FMJ training loads, will make the gun go bang but that's about all. Duty-grade JHPs tend to be very accurate. Chances are that your gun will shoot better with one load than it does with others. 10mm is expensive, so there's even more of a tendency to go cheap on ammo or components, especially with commercial reloaders.

3. Put the factory barrel back in and work with it for a while. Not all custom barrels are an improvement, especially if the drop-in ones. Truth be told, current Glock barrels are probably as good as any on the market. Some of the earlier ones had challenges, but that's far less common today.

4. Red-dot sights can take some getting used to. If you were ever able to shoot iron sights well, go back to those before you throw that pistol in the trash heap.

5. The Glock trigger stroke is far more like a DA revolver than like a fine rifle, so sink some finger on that trigger. With the striker down, determine where your finger needs to lie on the trigger to make the last millimeter or so of travel straight to the rear. Then start with your finger in that position. It may be a lot deeper into the trigger guard than you'd expect.

As Mackay pointed out, master that trigger stroke and don't let your skills die. You'll soon be winning lunch money from the unbelievers.

Go back & read what both JOG & Mackay said for starters.

A striker fired pistol will never be like a 1911 or a good revolver single action.

Besides what both JOG & Mackay said, you need to learn to pull a striker fired gun straight through...............you cannot ease through it like a 1911 or you will never be able to shoot it well. Once you start the trigger pull, just pull straight though; the trick is do do it smoothly w/o jerking it.

As for making the trigger better, a ZEV V4 connector & a competition trigger spring (it's actually heavier) will usually bring the trigger pull down to around 3.5 - 4 lb but it will be somewhat crisper................that's about all you're going to get out of a Glock.

The Double Diamond connector is also as good as the V4

But the new Gen 5 is definitely better than previous versions & about the same as the S&W 2.0 trigger.

Dry fire.....................LOTS & then some more.

If I wanted to upgrade a Glock trigger for whatever reason, I think I’d jump straight to the Timney unit and skip all other stuff.

I've not shot the Timney, but I have shot the Zev version & it's not worth the extra money versus a good connector, spring change & some polish.............not at all.

Yes. It is attached to a Walther, H&K, or a Sig
