I'm not that enthused with the trigger on my 17 and would like a smoother pull (lighter, too, if possible). Whose aftermarket unit would fit those parameters? As is, the current unit seems heavy and rather mushy compared to my other pistol's (also a 17). Thoughts?

https://timneytriggersusa.com/timney-alpha-competition-trigger-glock/Local gunsmith suggested a Timney Glock trigger. It's in a 3rd Gen Model 23 and I love it. I don't remember it costing this much though. Got it about a year ago. Maybe the price just went up?
Please don't feed the trolls!

Google "25-cent trigger job." Chances are you can work with the stock parts and get what you want.

If Montana had a standing army, a 270 Win with Federal Blue Box 130's would be the standard issue.

I have a G20 with a trigger you wouldn’t believe. It was a very simple job to do, IIRC it only involved springs, but I did it over 20 years ago and don’t remember. Mackey Sagebrush described what I think I did on another thread about Glock triggers a while back. If he sees this maybe he’ll weigh in and describe it.

What generation are these G17s that you are comparing?

I've changed a few out and have seen little if any improvement. Glock has a lot going for it, but light, crisp triggers aren't one of them.

Have a couple Apex that are decent for what they are, also have a Johnny Glock competition that is a little better but is way over priced and would never recommend anyone go that route!

Nothing wrong with a stock Glock trigger.
If you want a nice 2-3 lb crisp trigger, get a 1911.

I played with my Model 40 quite a bit. I settled on the .25 cent Glock trigger job, and a 3.5# disconnect.

I have a couple of 1911’s and love them but my stock Glocks are what I depend on.
The 5.5 lb triggers don’t get in my way.

The 5.5 lb triggers don’t get in my way. Yep. Be it Glock, S&W, Sig or whatever flavor of striker fired gun, it's all in what you get used to. Repetition and practice make the staple gun triggers more than just tolerable. If the gun is for range fun time, ect. you can play with triggers and if it breaks down or chokes then it's no big deal. If it is for serious use, the more you stray from the factory design the more likely you're gonna have trouble with it at some point.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

The striker-fired guns are just different; not better or worse, just different. As MOGC says, it takes practice and repetition. Look at what’s been done with double action revolvers by people who actually apply themselves. Probably the only handgun discipline where the single action trigger really stands out is bullseye. For any of the practical shooting disciplines there are people running Glocks and other striker-fired guns who are consistently in the top tiers.

It’ll never come close to a 1911 trigger but for what they are, it’s about as good as you’ll get without spending a lot of money to get a small improvement.
