I'm not saying I dont do it because I do and have done many for my self as well as many other.

To make a blanket statement that it CANT happen with just a felt wheel and some rouge is just plain ignorant.
I guess I should have said is if you can follow instruction,you couldn't do damage.You leave a right angle a right angle.

I looked at the web site very carefully, and I failed to see any description of what is in the tube and what is it used for.

I had heard of this trigger job sometime ago, and when I saw the video I did the work (with a dremmel) on one of my glocks. I didn't feel much change in either the trigger weight or how smooth it is.
In my opinion, if you want a smoother trigger (without making it lighter), I would recommend a titanium firing pin satefy plunger (glockstore have them). That will make your trigger A LOT more smoother while keeping the same weight.

I got burned in a gun deal not long ago. The used Glock 17 I purchased had one of these famous trigger jobs done to it and the previous owner didn't know what he was doing. The first time I shot it, I barely touched the trigger and it went off. WAY too light. I took it apart to check it out and found all the "polishing" that had been done. I wasn't told that there had been any work done to it.

I had to replace all the parts that had been "polished" before it would work to my satisfaction.

Two morals of the story.

Don't mess with it if you don't know what you are doing! Buyer Beware!

Dremel user

I like the suggestion of using a 3 way nail polish / file. I'll have to try that. I have handled these in the past and it seems to me they might be more akin to using a stone than simply polishing... but i"m no expert.

I have used my Dremel tool, the felt buffing wheel, and Flitz compound on several of my Glocks with only positive effects.

I have to wonder if some of the Dremel hack jobs being referenced involved the grinding wheel. I feel like you'd really have to work hard to screw it up with the soft wheel & polishing compound.

Enhancing "perfection" is not blaming the gun.

But I dont blame you for your misunderstanding. Its only human nature to grab hold of something so you can try to feel superior and demean others thus feeling better about your own shortcomings.

What exactly is the .25 trigger job?
Unnecessary.

I did the Fitz and cotton swab job on a couple of Glocks.

Ended up getting them nice and clean and shiny with only a very slight reduction in the pull weight of the trigger but did seem to be a whisper smoother.

I don't know if it was mentioned, but using a dremel with cloth wheel and auto wax with light pressure on low speed does a fine job quickly and will not remove any material.
