The trigger safety is wearing on my finger after some time at the range. Is there a way to smooth it out without compromising the function? I do NOT want to remove or defeat this safety feature I just want a more comfortable trigger. Any good solutions?

After shooting all my glocks for the 4 years I've owned them, I can't think of one time I've actually noticed the trigger safety was even there!

Maybe you could do a detail strip and take a nylon brush or toothbrush to the trigger. You may have some build up in the hinge where the safety sits inside the trigger (if its a carry weapon, maybe lint worked its way in there?). Personally, I wouldn't do anything to the trigger safety other than brush it. There's probably a tiny spring in there too...it may be boogered up.

Or you could toughen up your trigger finger a bit

Yep a callus would do the trick!
I'm not sure I will mess with it at all, but if I hear where a lot of people use some LIGHT sanding and it doesnt affect the safety I might give it a try.

Play an acoustic guitar, with crappy strings, left handed! You'd be rockin and rolling within a week lol

The trigger or my finger?

Do you have one of the small framed guns? They have a rougher trigger than the large framed guns, for import "points" reasons.

You can buy/install one of the smooth triggers on your gun if that's the case, I did it for my G26.

Old shooters' trick: A dab of super glue or liquid bandage on the area being abraded is a simple way to have an "instant callus" and cure abrasion issues during extended range sessions. Just don't overdo it or you will have a hard, slick pad rather than a callus-like cover.

It's an easy way to avoid new shooter complaints when shooting aggressively textured polymer frames, which seem to cause the most complaints.

The sarcastic bastige in me, tells ya to drop a cinderblock on your right foot, just before shooting.

You will NOT notice any roughness on the trigger safety.


I guarantee it!!:supergrin:

Blow out the area around the safety with canned air to remove any grit then maybe use spray gun cleaner to flush it a bit.

All of mine basically disappear into the trigger and have never been any problem.

Shooting it will likely help you get used to it. Sort of like wearing glasses. Sooner or later you forget they're even there.

You could sand the trigger safety down a bit. But you negate the purpose of it, which makes it a bit less safe.

You could try a smooth-faced trigger w/trigger bar for a G17. Part# 357. The safety still protrudes from the face when depressed, but the serrations on the serrated trigger is what causes most of the irritation so a smooth-faced trigger would help.

Or you could buy a spare trigger w/trigger bar and sand down the trigger safety until it's flush with the rest of the trigger face when the safety is depressed.

Or the more expensive option, you could get a ZevTech Glockworx Fulcrum trigger w/trigger bar. It's made so that the trigger safety sits flush with the rest of the trigger face when the safety is depressed.

But if I brought a cinder block to the range and told everyone it enhances trigger feel and accuarcy then everyone would have to have one! :tongueout:

I do have the smooth trigger and not the one with ridges on it. The problem seems to be it doesnt quite go flush, and it feels a little like having a wire run down the center of the trigger.

I want to thank everyone for the replies. There is some good information that I hadnt though of. (The glue trick, not so much the cinder block :supergrin

I think I'll check my trigger when I get home to make sure nothing is wrong with it as some have suggested, but in the final analysis I'm probably just going to man up and (if I shoot that much) grow a callus.


Next thread: Fellow glockers, I'm having trouble with sight aquisition. It seems every time I shoot my eyes well up with tears and I cant put any weight on my left foot, but good news I dont worry about my finger any more! :supergrin:
