Who do I send my Glock to?

[runawaygun762]

Years ago, I told my wife if Glock ever came out with a Practical/Tactical in .45, I'd be the first guy in line to get one. Well, they did, and I didn't see the point in getting it, but she did and bought me one. I really don't have much use for it, as every role that can be filled by a pistol except hunting is already being filled by other guns, but I have it and I feel like a real man now that I have a have a manly .45. Manly. Grrr. I guess I'll turn it into a L-10 gun until such time as USPSA realizes people actually own .40 and .45 that aren't tricked out for Limited and allow us to have a Major PF in Production.

Who should I send the gun to for trigger work, or are there good drop-in trigger kits. I've seen the Pyramid and Zev Tech trigger kits, but I don't know anything about them beyond the advertising. I don't know if the trigger on all Gen-4 Glocks are more atrocious than normal Glock triggers, but my G41 trigger sucks. Any suggestions on trigger jobs?

I've got a Zev Tech fulcrum ultimate drop in on my 17 and its the tits. If you go with their striker safety, I would opt for the stainless version as the coating on the Ti version rubs off and gives you some grit in the takeup.

Zev are nice, you could start off cheap with a ghost connector kit & see how you like it.

Install the Zev kit and polish the contact points. Done. You're welcome.

Oh boy, that Zev Tech Ultimate drop-in kit looks nice. 255 bucks. I need to have a bake sale or something.

I suppose I could just buy Jesse's .45 and call it a day, but I'd have to sell one of my kids into the sex slave market, and my wife got pretty mad last time I did that.

She got over it eventually right?

I have a glock 17 with the ZEV stuff in it and to be honest I'm not that impressed. My accurate iron glock 34 feels 100 times better..... Maybe if mike doesn't work on polymer pistols anymore you could just ask him what to do.

Another vote for Ghost. Spend the $220 you'll save over the zev on ammo or extra mags.

Vanek.

Okay, I have a similar question. There was a time that I said spending damn near $300 on a trigger for an AR was ridiculous. However, I got over that and I spent the money and now I'm glad that I did! Is it really the same thing with Glocks? Will putting that ZEV trigger in it make it feel like Tits McGee???? (My AR/all things good is Tits McGee)

I didn't find your website or lists of work you do, but everybody raves about your work. Do you work on Glocks?

She got over it eventually right?

I guess so, she let me have another kid. But that was only because the kid's mom wasn't paying attention to the cart in Wal-Mart, so now we have another one.

Mitch, liked that last post.. lol!

I mostly do frame work on glocks. Im a give me a crisp trigger, definable wall. type of glock trigger guy.. A 3.5 ghost rocket and some attention is all it needs trigger wise.

 

[runawaygun762]

Okay, ghost trigger is easily doable, but what do you mean by some attention? I agree with you on simply needing a good wall. I don't even need a crisp trigger. I don't know what I'd do with a crisp Glock trigger. But this G41 has no wall. It's all takeup, followed by a bang, followed by a tear in the time/space continuum where there should be a reset of some sort, and when I regain consciousness, the trigger is in the forward position. Pressing on a dry sponge is absolutely the best comparison I have heard. I know most of you are well aware of this garbage, but I'm a diehard Glock fanboy and I am still appalled by this G41 trigger.

Get some very high grit sandpaper and polish surfaces that slide against each other. The factory trigger bar is notoriously burred from stamping.

 

[runawaygun762]

See, I'm one of those guys...you type "high grit sandpaper" and what I read is, "use a dremel tool and hope for the best."

YouTube search glock $.25 trigger job.

Then your best bet is to let a competent gun Smith handle it.
