The only thing I really don't care for when it comes to Glock triggers is the trigger shoe itself. I'm just not a fan of the shape or the way the dingus digs in to my finger. I'd like to change either just the shoe or get a drop in replacement that uses an OEM trigger bar. I don't want to decrease the pull weight or pre/over travel. What are some good options you guys can recommend?

File, dremel, or sandpaper on a dowel rod- you can make the dingus flush to the trigger when depressed. Comfy. Free.

I just sand/file the stock trigger to the shape I want.

Been looking to do this to a few triggers. I was gonna shave it with a blade. Dowel sounds easier.

Halfmoon file, or dremel sanding drum is faster - about 2-5 min if you are careful, or 30 sec.

Check out Overwatch polydat. You can get just the shoe or with oem bar. I have them on all mine & like them

VEX, nothing else matters.

Halfmoon it is! Dremel I'd end up having to buy a new trigger. lol

I like the Vickers Tactical one myself.

Although I find the name of it, "Tango Down", to be incredibly operator-wannabe-dorky.

Overwatch Precision PolyDat, it can be had as just the shoe or already attached to an OE trigger bar. Simple to install and the dingus sits smooth and flat against the trigger shoe.

 

[BCC73]

Yeah....Overwatch Precision gives you both options. They produce a nice flat face shoe

I have one of these that I got when I bought a G19 slide and parts on GunBroker. It's nice I like it. Not sure if I am $40+ bucks in like though.

There are only a few that will not change some of the Glock characteristics, remove pre travel, etc. The Vickers Flat shoe is probably the most cost effective to try out, and it won't change any of the factory settings, pre travel, break pull weight etc. Most others will at at least remove some of the pre travel.

I would caution using any that have use adjustable pre and over travel. They will have a tendency to go out of adjustment during shooing, and that can cause issues.

My personal favorite is the VEX shoe by Ranger Proof or Johnny Glock. It isn't the least expensive, and will remove overtravel, but it will not disable any of the factory safeties, and does not have any adjustment capabilities. It also decreases the reach to the trigger quite a bit which is one of the reasons I choose it. That along with the fact it was tested and works perfectly with the GPT.

As others have mentioned, you can contour the factory trigger safety tab, but don't get aggressive with it, or you will remove too much material and cause the safety to develop a hitch or catch on the frame.

That's one of the strong suits of the Glock platform, there are tons of options out there. Whichever you decide, make sure it is from a reputable manufacturer. There are some out there that were just designed for looks rather than performance and function.

That one decreases pre-travel. I could not get it to pass drop safety testing.

I did not find that to be the case. They do NOT pass drop testing. The removal of pre-travel puts the cruciform precipitously on the edge of the trigger housing drop safety ledge. Drop the gun butt-down orientation, and it will "fire."

Otherwise, they are very "nice" triggers.

I will stand by for the flaming.

Simple fix with the trigger bar assuming your trigger control group and frame was in spec. I'm running a dozen or so of them in a combination of Gen 5 housings/trigger bars modified with Gen 3 trigger bars and Gen 3/5 housings and trigger bars with Timney trigger systems. I did need to modify the trigger bars to give them 100% sear engagement but it only took a few minutes to fix. On the other hand, I've seen stock Glocks with worse sear engagement.

yeah... this had nothing to do with sear engagement. Sear engagement is excellent. The problem is the position of the cruciform on the trigger housing drop safety ledge. It is THAT and nothing more. And that cannot be changed, because the pre-travel is not adjustable. It is determined by the geometry of the trigger bar pocket in the trigger shoe.

I understand EXACTLY what is happening. And the only way to solve it is to remove the trigger shoe. It was returned and then worked on by JG himself to be sure it was up to snuff. I tried again... no dice. It will not pass the drop test in butt-down orientation. I even bought a 2nd trigger, just to be sure. So... I've now got two of them sitting in my parts bin.
