Ok Glockies, what do you prefer?

[Ursus]

Wich triger pull do you like the best for your Glock? And why?

[FranklyTodd]

I voted NY, but I admit that should be taken with a grain of salt. I have ordered and just received by NY spring, but haven't installed it yet...

For safety in carrying with one in the chamber, the more it feels like a revolver the better (for me!). I can shoot my DAO .38 snub with accuracy that, while not impressive by any means, is entirely sufficient for SD. The stiffer spring in a Glock will hopefully increase my safety without decreasing my practical accuracy (assuming I can tune it to feel like a S&W revolver).

Let me say I love the factory Glock triggers. They are a terrific balance between SA light, and DA heavy. They are plenty safe if handled properly, and plenty accurate if shot deliberately. I certainly don't quibble with anyone who carries with the stock trigger!!!

IMHO, by installing a heavier trigger, I will be marginally safer (really not safer -4 rules, etc., just more confident) in carrying condition 1; my slow deliberate two-handed accuracy might fall a little due to the heavier pull; and my SHTF accuracy will be completely unaffected. To me that's at least a trade-off I want to try, if I'm going to carry it. I've been carrying my S&W 340 lately, though, so I'm not in a great hurry to install the NY spring.

Great question - I look forward to following this one!!

Definitely the standard trigger for me; the relatively light (5.5 lb.) trigger is one of the things I most like about Glocks. If I wanted a heavy trigger, I would buy a Smith Sigma. :rolleyes:

[southernshooter]

I carry mine with the 3.5# connector in it

[Thunderhawk88]

I like my Glock and my Sigma standard. One for carry, one for HD.

[Taurus_9mm]

I voted for New York too. :D

[RIPBiker13]

I had the 3.5 in my G23 and I loved it. But I carry my G27 with the standard 5.5lb pull.

[bmac1911]

gotta say standard here too for my G36

[Deputy Dawg]

Standard trigger here.

[patrol]

To me, if there is anything that truely sucks about a Glock IS the standard trigger pull which they claim is only 5.5lbs. I couldn't imagine how horrible one even heavier would be. The main problem is the sharpness of the middle trigger between the hinged part. After many rounds down range it tends to irritate and sting my shooting finger unlike the XD's and the M&Ps which supposedly have standard heavier triggers out of the box. If anything because of this irritation the Glocks should be even less trigger pull.:cool:

[FranklyTodd]

I previously voted NY1. Went back to standard (actually traded the G27 for a G26), but also added a Cominolli manual thumb safety. Glock with round chambered in open carry is fine, but for me (not trying to convince anyone) carrying IWB, pocket, and sometimes SmartCarry (especially where I live - have to take it on and off if you go into certain places), won't carry a Glock with one in the chamber without the safety.

And here I thought all you tupperware addicts didn't have to make modifications since they are supposed to be superior to a 1911 right out of the box. I've been disheartened...................AGAIN! Specially you Dawg and the Prof! ;):rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[Pistolenschutze]

I don't modify my Glocks at all, IPT. Why modify perfection? :D;):p

[FranklyTodd]

For carry purposes, I'll take my 1926, (or should that be 2611?) over either a 1911 or an unmodified Glock! ;)

Of course I usually take my M&P340 j-frame over the 26... go figure.

Sorry for the hijack but FranklyTodd, did you install the safety yourself? This is definitely something I would be interested in, and up the (already high) appeal of the Glock. Even if not to carry on safety all the time, the peace of mind knowing it's available would be great for those situations where it would be warranted. The website says a gunsmith installation is reccomended... If you went that route how much did it cost you?

Then again according to the movies that racking one into the chamber is such an intimidating sound it might be a better method of "safety." =P

[FranklyTodd]

I did not iinstall it. The part costs $89, I paid an extra $35 or so to get it installed. I used Ronnie Bianco at http://www.boomboomtactical.net. Great guy, easy to work with. He's within driving distance of me, but he told me he's done guns shipped both ways. He also does some amazing cosmetic work, if you are into that - none for me, thanks!

You can find a list of installers in your area here: http://www.cominolli.com/installers.html If you click on "Reading Room" there's also some interesting articles about the safety.

If you are curious at all, here's a post I made in response to the predictable criticism of adding a safety to a Glock: http://glocktalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=9599133&postcount=24

And here's my range report after I shot a few hundred rounds through: http://glocktalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=807594

I like it a lot, but still might add an HK USPc to the mix for when my attire does not require a SUBcompact. Also, if you don't already have the Glock, there are rumors afloat that Smith's M&P line is going to offer a manual safety, at least as an option. They put one on their .45cal in order to compete for a govt. contract, and it was well received. I'm watching to see if something is announced at the SHOT show going on right now. If I didn't already have the 26, I would be interested in an M&P with a factory safety... We'll see.

[5_Shooter]

I like my Glock 19 trigger just the way it is......

[DWARREN123]

I have only tried the standard/stock trigger and like it enough to leave it alone since it is a carry gun.

[whip]

I love the 3.5 lb trigger connector in my glock 17 but for my glock 27 as a concealed carry gun I use the standard trigger.

[glocknut]

standard trigger...

mike

[Rommelvon]

standard for my G22 and G23...it just feels so darned good...plus i used to it

What are you talking abouy Willis:D:D,Glocks are perfect right out of the box,well at lest mine was.It is time for you to leave the stone age and join the modern world.

[BigSkiff]

I voted standard trigger but I actually changed the trigger on my G21 to a Goast Tactical trigger. It's very smooth, no overtravel, and it breaks clean at 4.5 pounds. I did not like the original trigger. I thought it was to long and rather sloppy. Works well now though!

Color me confused!

[jackmcmanus21]

i like NY for pretty much the same reasons franklytodd stated

[Marlin]

Give me a 1911 or a Browning Hi Power. I don't cotton to any tupperware !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I don't have that anymore.

Steel Rules!!!

[TranterUK]

Steel Rules!!!


I used them on an engineering course once, Oh yes, I know my bending moments from my shear forces.

Nah, really, Steel, it's not called steel for nothing you know, it's hard! like the men who use it. Stalin wasn't his real name, he took Stalin because it means Steel in Russian.

Time to stop writing, loosing mind control, Zoolander playing to my left, cant think, laughing. 'I realised I was bulimic' reply 'wow, you can read minds?'

I carry mine with the 3.5# connector in it

Within 120 miles of Saginaw anyway. Not so scary.

I love it Art, especially as we are on a Glock thread. :)

[jinn]

...I... won't carry a Glock with one in the chamber without the safety.

Being something of a Glock fan, could I get you to explain in more detail why you state the above, and what exactly does the safety achieve mechanically?

Thanks in advance!!

True, Tranter, and Stalin was also a sociopathic, paranoid individual, who built railroads to nowhere with slave labor from the Gulags, and suffered from delusions of grandeur. Are you suggesting a connection between him-- perhaps a similarity of personality--and 1911 pattern pistol fanatics? I was just wondering . . . :D;):p

Pistol, I figured that if I was going to a Tupperwear party I'd just as soon make a grand entrance. :p ;) :D

So we are down on Stalin, are we? Name us an individual who ran a major power as long as Stalin, devoid of those "qualities" you mention.

[SCRAMBLER]

For CC a 5.5 , For competition shooting I have a modified trigger system . Breaks at 1.8 to 2.0 lbs. smooth and clean.

[delta13soultaker]

Standard

[TDR911]

Yes the standard 5.5 lb trigger is prefered. It is hard to get good hits with a stiff trigger pull. Only after lots of practise and dry can you even get close to getting good hits. Then if the SHT hits the fan you will shoot low left.
