Adding a new trigger to your Glock can make it feel much more comfortable to shoot and improve accuracy. However, many different trigger upgrades exist with varying price points.
Cost
A quality Glock trigger upgrade can significantly reduce the feel and weight of a gun while increasing accuracy and reliability. A wide range of options are available to suit any budget and requirements. Some triggers are simple to install and can be done at home, while others require a gunsmith. A good Glock trigger upgrade can also increase the sensitivity of your firearm. It can be a huge benefit if you plan to use your Glock for target shooting, tactical applications, or self-defense. A new trigger can also make your gun more consistent, especially if you are a seasoned shooter. A better trigger can help you shrink your groups and reduce the time between shots. A lighter trigger can improve your performance for competition shooters by giving you more control over the shot. The Glock Performance Trigger, for example, offers a lighter trigger pull without compromising safety or voiding the factory warranty.
Accuracy
Glock trigger upgrades can improve accuracy by reducing the pre-travel and over-travel when the gun is fired. They also can provide a faster reset, which allows shooters to take follow-up shots more quickly. It can be helpful in real-world scenarios where the ability to put rounds on target as fast as possible is critical. Glock offers a factory trigger upgrade that reduces over-travel and pre-travel while improving the overall feel of the trigger. Anyone wishing to enhance Glock’s performance without spending much money should consider this trigger.
Many aftermarket triggers are available for Glock pistols, including various flat-faced options and reduced pre-travel. These triggers are typically made from a more durable material, such as aluminum alloy, and can be installed by handgun armorers or experienced gunsmiths. They can also help reduce a gun’s weight, improving shooting ergonomics and precision.
Reliability
The stock Glock trigger can feel spongy and gritty to shooters. It is due to the polymer components and multiple internal safety mechanisms that make up the design. Thankfully, there are several Glock trigger mods available to address this issue. Simple connections to whole replacement trigger groups are among them. However, some of these alterations may impact dependability if not implemented correctly. Most people start with a new trigger connector, an inexpensive piece of metal that changes the feel of the trigger. When the shooter pulls the trigger, the connector’s ramp pushes down on the trigger bar until it reaches a point where it releases the striker and causes the gun to fire. Trigger springs are also popular upgrades for Glocks. The spring is inversely proportional to the trigger pull weight and can be swapped out for a lighter one to improve accuracy and shooting speed without compromising reliability. However, swapping out trigger springs can damage the gun if not done properly.
Speed
From a tactical standpoint, a shorter trigger pull will help you get shots off faster and more accurately. It is especially true if you’re shooting at longer ranges. The Glock Performance Trigger has a lighter, smoother, and shorter reset than the factory trigger. It also reduces grit and overtravel. Plus, it does all this without compromising reliability. When shooting at the range or in a competition match, you want to fire your gun reliably and quickly. That’s why a new trigger upgrade is worth it. Several different Glock trigger upgrades are available from various companies. Most aftermarket triggers include a disconnector designed to improve the trigger feel by reducing grit and overtravel. They can be modified with other parts, such as a lighter or heavier trigger spring, which affects the overall trigger weight. However, this can compromise reliability if done improperly. For this reason, many shooters stick with the stock connector and switch out only the trigger spring.
