Have a Glock 19MOS with a Trijicon RMR on order from Cabelas ($329 what a deal). I figure if I am gonna have a $1k in the pistol and Trijicon I should stick a trigger upgrade in it. I am going with the Trijicon so I can do away with wearing glasses if I want to hit something with a respectable grouping.
Any trigger advice from Glock land........

Regarding your vision are you near or far sighted? Still should always wear safety glasses while shooting. Near sighted means your sights are sharp and target fuzzy which is exactly what it should be. If far sighted ( a 50+ age issue generally) it makes your sights fuzzy which requires reading glasses to sharpen the sights

I am far sighted so I have the fuzzing sights. With the red-dot I would assume that the dot would eliminate the need for glasses to get on target. Looking at a red-dot at the Glockmeister shop the red-dot did the trick without glasses. At the range Or shooting I always use safety eyewear. This would be the if **** happens solution to not having glasses on. Also to possibly not shoot so lousy in general.

What has your experience with the G19 shown to be defective and in need of "upgrade"?

ALL aftermarket trigger gimmicks compared to OEM have far less demonstrated reliability for weapons service, but they can be helpful to non-serious use as a toy or game-boy gun. Your choice will indicate which is most important to you.

I have to agree with you. I know everyone is different and I know the saying about opinions. But what first made me a Glock man was its trigger. I will never forget the first time I shot a Glock. It was love at first squeeze. At that time the trigger seemed above EVERYTHING else I had shot in handguns. I've never looked back. I know others now have triggers equal or maybe better but my muscle memory has grown so used to Glocks reset point I don't believe in a life or death situation I could feel as confident as I do with the factory Glocks. Of course I can only speak for myself. Others may feel different and neither of us would be wrong

All my current rifles or pistols (about 30) have stock trigger except for my Mosin Nagant (Timny). I don't have a problem with the trigger, just asking the more seasoned Glock shooters their view of triggers. The RMR red-dot is to produce a defined placement of rounds without the need a glasses.
Have dry fired the Glock 19 thousands of times just to get the trigger pull a learned muscle action. Kinda like any sport, you do something repeatedly you do it without thinking. Still have less than desired results when shooting.

If you (honestly) think you have good trigger management, then trigger is your last problem, not the first.

Skip it until you have learned it, might be the best part of the package.

Since you already have $1k in the gun, might as well have a Tavor as a mate to the sidearm. Only another $1300 more.

I would probably shoot it a bit first before I decided with certainty I wanted to change the trigger.

My range shooting friend and I bought Gen 4 19 MOS for the exact reason you stated, and our shooting has been a fast, accurate experience. We are pleased with the results. We did mount Delta Point Pros due to the auto on/auto off feature. We also installed Ghost Edge connectors which have resulted in a much better trigger. 600+ rounds without a single fail on either pistol. Regards

Thanks for all the different points of view. When I get the RMR installed on the 19 I let you know the results. Cabela's should have it in the next week or so.

You are going to have a lot of fun with your MOS! It is fun to see others at the range who are "not Glock" Or "not red dot" be converted on the spot.

Been where you are now. I despise striker fire triggers. If all you want is a SD gun then that is probably the best one to have. If however you shoot for fun or competition and you are old it is very difficult to get used to these triggers.

Most of my life I shot revolvers in single action. Learning to shoot a pistol, especially one with a blade on the trigger is actually learning to shoot all over again.
I almost sold all the plastic guns I had because of this.

I tried an OC drop in trigger replacement and the trigger weight dropped a bit, the gritty over travel and crunchy feel is somewhat better. But in the end it was not worth the money to me. I still have a Glock trigger.

The only reason I still shoot Glocks or any striker fire pistol is 1 self defense and 2 I watch Hickok45. He is about my age and does not shoot with what is generally considered correct finger placement on the trigger. He puts the blade in the joint of his trigger finger.
I now do this and it is the only way I can pull this trigger straight back.

Red dots and highly visible fiber optic sights also keep me shooting. Eyes do dim with age.

I will not waste money on another trigger replacement. It all sounds good but for me there is little benefit to it.

Sometimes I think I'm the only guy left who shoots for the enjoyment of it.

Shoot it first. If you still do not like the trigger, check out Orange County Triggers. They polish a stock trigger, install a pre-travel adjustment screw and it is only $40-45. I put a ZEV trigger in my 34 and the OCT trigger is much better for a third of the price. Sights depend on how you are going to use the gun. I have found that the U shaped rear blacked out sight with a contrasting orange or red rod front sight is good for IDPA, For 24 hour carry, I use the Tijicon HD orange front with front and rear tritium inserts.

My preferred trigger in my carry Glocks is the smooth-face (G34) trigger, 3.5 pound connector, NY-1 trigger spring, and a 25-cent trigger job. All of these parts are Glock factory parts, so they're very inexpensive (around $20)

If you like super light triggers this might not be the setup for you, but I find that this combination gives the Glock a very smooth and consistent 6 pound trigger pull with almost no stacking. Also, the trigger reset feels almost rocket powered.
