Glock trigger advice

Guys, I read every single reply and I appreciate it all very much. Everybody gave valid advice, even the ones "joking" about getting a 1911 instead, I have thought about that too, but I would rather make the gun I already own a bit more user friendly for myself. :)

I don't shoot competitively, and probably never will, but I still want to make the gun as comfortable to shoot as possible for ME, which means trigger improvement is the right way to go, I just have to decide what to get, based on all your replies and where to order from.

Thanks dudes. :)

My gen3 G17 has a NY1 spring and Glock OEM (-) connector. Weight wise feels about the same but crisper & smoother.
I miss reading TDC's comments….might have to read some of his old posts:)
 
I only changed out my 5.5LB connector with Ghost 3.5LB connector only. Actually trigger pull is more like 4LB-ish trigger pull, but that is enough for me. Everything else on the Glock is stock. Some may changed out the stock "springs" as well for lighter pulls, but I am content with the stock "springs"

I paid $250 cnd for my brand new Norinco 1911...it may be "imperfect" but certainly not overpriced. Oh, sorry. You're American, your government has told you that your not allowed to by guns that aren't overpriced...my apologies. :p

Ahh yes, the poor American's, the $400 AK-47's they are allowed are so overpriced. I don't want the chinese junk anyways.

My time is not worthless. Sure you can polish and refinish and spend countless hours making it look like and work like a $700 gun but why not just work a few hours at a job and buy something that is good to go out of the box!?

Am I in the bizarro universe today, I'm I reading the Canadian gun forum and seeing an American trash a 1911 over an Austrian gun?

Not an American. And even if I was, they can mistakes and their continuous love affair with a relic is one of those mistakes. I would take a Glock or an M&P over a 1911 any day.

Laugh2! You had to bring up the AK!? Well done, however, we get the SKS (better build imho) {Chinese ones too;)}

Nothing you put on a pistol will make you a better shooter. Getting some instruction will, careful practise will, mail order parts will not.

Id have to disagree to certain extent, because my modded trigger is a lot easier to control compared to OEM, and everyone that has tried it says its easier to shoot accurately. I have a gen4 17 and I was at a pumkin shoot at my range in Oct, lady beside me had the exact same gun Glock 17 un modded. She could barely hit a pumkin more then once with a 10 round mag. She ran out of ammo near the end of the event, so I asked if she wanted to try my gun, she asked what the difference was and I said its the same gun as yours with a trigger kit in it, a recoil rod and spring kit, and aftermarket sights. Her first mag she put all 10 in the same pumkin in a small group. She instantly asked where she could buy the mods I had. I sad the werent cheap, and she said she didnt care, my gun was the best gun she had ever tried so far. She was so happy with how well she shot with it she wanted everything I had done to it

Yes she could probably eventually learn to control the stock Glock trigger and be just as accurate and consistent, but the fact still remains just shooting the same gun with trigger mods made her a better shooter right off the bat.

I have 3 Glocks one with mods and 2 without, and the modded one is nicer to shoot. Not only is it easier to control the trigger, the flat face trigger is more comfortable on my finger, so I can shoot more. My gen3 triggers bite into my finger and after 100-200 rounds my finger get sore from it.

Whenever I let someone try the modded gun, I have them try the stock ones first, then I tell them to dry fire the modded one to get an idea of how light the trigger is. If I don't do that most of the time the first shoot gets away from them, and they end up shooting before they even mean too.

Say what you will but Im new to shooting, and my experience with modding the Glock trigger has been a good one. I like it so much better I have already ordered 2 more kits to fit my other Glocks. They are with IRUNGUNS right now, just waiting on my GST and shipping link

The biggest factor for me in all the guns Ive tried so far is the trigger

It's a crutch, you're limiting yourself to being able to shoot one gun. Change guns and your "ability" vanishes, trust me there are shooters out there who can use an issue Glock with a New York trigger or a DAO S&W 5946 more quickly and more accurately than you can shoot your fragile race gun. There's a difference between ability to shoot and the ability to use one gun.

Sure and there's a difference between a nice trigger, an OK trigger, and a bad trigger.... we get it. If you are good enough you can overcome heavy or less then perfect triggers.

I also agree that learning to shoot a stock glock trigger or a typical double action revolver in double action is a good way to guarantee that you will be able to shoot almost anything well.

That said if someone wants to smooth out their trigger them selves or drop in some aftermarket stuff to make their gun easier to shoot I'm not going to argue with them about it.... part of the reason these aftermarket parts exist is that the stock glock trigger can be improved and the other part is our tendency to want to be able to "buy" improvements.
