I will say that from the Glocks I own or have owned I agree. Even the 2-additional Glock clones that I own with aftermarket triggers.

 

I disagree.I prefer the gen 3 trigger over thee gen 5. To me the gen 5 trigger feels like a 3 stage trigger. There are 2 walls to pull through, the first is when the shark fin engages the firing pin block and the second when the shot breaks. I don't find them to be as smooth as gen 3 triggers.

 

🥃👀

 

Whatever works for you is a good thing. As one who cut his teeth on 1911’s, no Glock trigger gets me excited but Glocks just work. With moderate care, they don’t rust either. I carry a Glock or an HK daily.

 

Same here!

 

Of all the Glocks I own the Gen 5 triiggers are the only triggers that get worse with use... YMMV. And I own three gen 5 guns...

 

At what point did you notice the triggers getting worse?

 

the GPT is even better! but I agree the Gen 5 is better

 

What brand staple gun do you prefer? The triggers are functional. Not good no matter the generation. The GPT is an improvement.

 

Sacrilege! You take that back you east coast hooligan.

 

Better, or worse in what way??

Mechanically, they are the better design for resistance to trigger spring failure compared to gen1-4. You can put a gen5 fire control group in any of the previous gens with minor modifications.

 

I carry my Glock 26 Gen 5 daily and after over 4K no issues with the trigger or anything.

 

I can't really tell a difference with the feel of the Gen 5 trigger over the other. The stock trigger still feels like a staple gun. It's functional and is what it is, but if there was any improvement it was minimal other than fixing the spring breakage issue. I use the NY-1 even in Gen 5 so I don't have either of those problems.

 

To me the Gen5 is better than the Gen3 in that in has a shorter reset. I can't tell a huge difference in the pull of the trigger compared to a Gen4, but the reset is slightly shorter.

 

big fan of the gen 5

 

Gen 5 triggers ar the best Glock triggers out of the box!
Now you have the Glock performance trigger, but a stock trigger in my EDC is fine for me!

 

Functionally, more similar than different to the point that only those truly attuned to their triggers would know or care. But for those that do, these preferences prevail.

I like the guy in the video. Gave his opinion, but left others room to think and do as they please. Offered his thoughts, but didn't preach.

Two observations I thought were interesting,

At 8:20 in the video:
First, he said of the Gen 5 trigger "It's not a good trigger", and listed the top 320 trigger, CZ, and the P2xx series guns as costing more but delivering better. Since he still felt the Glock was a great option (for the reasons he listed) it wasn't a bash on Glock, but clearly he is willing to note both things Glock does better and places where it comes up short.

At 11:40 in the video:
The second amusing thing to me was he talked about his Glock stash they used while deployed and described them as "to hell and back reliability". I am sure SIG marketing would like to point out that is THEIR ad campaign, not Glock's! Whether that was intentional on his part (and part of his SEAL, post-P226 transition), or just a colloquial stream of thought is unknown to me, but was amusing!

 

I can’t really tell the difference between Gen4- Gen 5 triggers. For me as Paul Harrell would say,” Not enough difference to make a difference.”

 

Naw...I already figured out the problem.
The Gen 5 trigger bar gets worn around the front action block holes
But every used Gen 5 I've handled in a gun store with any wear on it exhibits this degradation.

What exactly are 'the front action block holes' and where are they??

 

Yes, Big Bird ... what are "front action block holes"????

 

Hmm… all 3 of my Glocks are gen 5, all 3 got a quick polish job and all 3 (especially the 19) have thousands or rounds. (26 being the least)

never noticed the trigger getting worse at 500-600. I do clean it all out once in a while, connector gets white lithium dab.

the manual does call for line on the connector, are folks not doing that???

 

I put the Glock Performance trigger in my Gen 5 19. Excellent.

 

Do you carry with it?

I have one, I missed the wall and put the stocker back in my carry 19.
