:rofl::rofl::rofl:I noticed polishing stuff made it smoother too... :supergrin:
And it gets better with time too.
No. It is heresy. If God had wanted the Glock to have a smooth trigger he would have spoken to Gaston about it. If you just fire 5,000 to 10,000 rounds it will get a lot smoother. It might not be as smooth as if you had done the 25 cent trigger job and then fired 5,000 to 10,000 rounds but religion is not meant to be easy.I guess it's funny to want a firearm's trigger to run smooth with a little bit of elbow grease ... okay?
5,000 to 10,000 rounds at $10 a box is $1,000 to $2000. The 25 cent trigger job costs..........well, just do the math.:supergrin:No. It is heresy.

What is the Lb of the trigger spring stock? and how does a 6lb coil trigger spring change things?now that you've done the polish job pick yourself up a 6lb coil trigger spring and reduced power striker safety spring from wolff. either leave the stock 5lb striker spring alone or switch it out for a 6lb spring. guaranteed best glock trigger you'll see for under $10.
if you want a lighter trigger break pick up a ghost ultimate 3.5lb connector for another $20, or you can order the connector and springs as a kit from ghostinc.com for a total of $27. if you don't love it ghost will let you return or replace it with a different connector.
the stock trigger spring is about 5lb, some places list it as 5.5lb. a coil trigger spring design, like the stock spring, is stretched when the trigger bar and trigger are in the forward position. therefore as the spring tries to retract it is actually exerting a force that "pulls" the trigger bar to the rear. when you use a heavier weight spring it adds more pull to the trigger's rear movement which results in a slightly lighter pull.What is the Lb of the trigger spring stock? and how does a 6lb coil trigger spring change things?
Never heard of this before... sounds interesting
Standard coil spring is 5.0 lbs. Since a coil-type trigger spring helps the shooter pull the trigger rearward, a higher (6#) competition spring aids more and reduces the pull by about 1/2 lb or so.What is the Lb of the trigger spring stock? and how does a 6lb coil trigger spring change things?
Just ordered the Rocket 3.5 kit, plus the Ghost tool and the G.I. Stealth Holster. I'll let you know how I like it.the stock trigger spring is about 5lb, some places list it as 5.5lb. a coil trigger spring design, like the stock spring, is stretched when the trigger bar and trigger are in the forward position. therefore as the spring tries to retract it is actually exerting a force that "pulls" the trigger bar to the rear. when you use a heavier weight spring it adds more pull to the trigger's rear movement which results in a slightly lighter pull.
if you reduce the weight of the striker spring, which pushes the trigger bar forward, you will get an even lighter trigger pull. my personal preference is that reducing the striker spring and increasing the trigger spring weights results in a trigger pull that is way too light. some people like it for competition but i prefer just the 6lb trigger spring.
when you add the reduced power striker safety spring, it allows the safety block/plunger to be activated by the trigger bar much more easily which also results in a smoother trigger pull. now that you've done the polish job you may notice a small "hump" in your trigger about 1/8th of an inch into the pull. that happens when the trigger bar makes contact with the striker safety. the next 1/4 inch or so of travel before you get to the "break" is called the pre-travel or "take up" which is what will be lightened by adding the 6lb trigger spring and/or reduced power striker spring. the actual "break", when the striker releases forward, can be lightened by adding a 3.5lb-5.0lb connector. each brand and weight of connector gives a different feel but i personally like the ghost ultimate 3.5lb connector myself. along with the lighter break you will also lose some of that "crispness" in the break, but i think with the ghost connector it is minimal and well worth the increased accuracy you will get.
if you've got $30 to spare pick up this kit and see how you like it. if you absolutely hate it either return to ghost or you will not likely have any problems selling in the classifieds.
I've never heard THAT one!:rofl:I'd be careful if you attempt it again. If done improperly, I heard you could send your Glock into full auto.
I know a guy that experienced THAT one, I call it the $.25 full auto job nowI've never heard THAT one!:rofl:
