I have read many posts from those who have tuned their own triggers with various degrees of success and those who have traded trigger components with various degrees of success. I would prefer to pay a professional Glock trigger specialist to polish and tune my Glocks so that I know that I can depend on having a solid, dependable trigger on my pistols when I need them. I am wanting to retain the factory pull weight, but with a much smoother interaction of parts. I guess that I am wanting a 25-cent trigger job done by a pro.
Anyone have suggestions on a very competent Glock trigger specialist?
There are many on GT that can assist you. You may want to ask who can help you in NC. There may be someone local that can tune the trigger to your liking.
In all honesty, you are better off buying polished parts and installing them yourself IF you really don't want to do it yourself. There are several folks that sell polished trigger bars and connectors. With stock parts, polished, there really is no "tuning" to be done. You really do learn a lot by doing it yourself. Your "first" .25 trigger job might take an hour, but once you have done a few, it can be done in 15 minutes.
OP - If you have a "smoother interaction of parts", it will result in a lighter than factory pull weight. That is what these "trigger jobs" do... change the pull from a "gritty-rough" 5.5 pound down to a smoother 3-4 pound (or less).
You mention getting a "solid, dependable trigger on my pistols when I need them". Ummmm... the factory trigger is as solid and dependable as you're going to get. Usually it's mucking with them that causes problems.
Guess what I'm saying is... your request includes somewhat contradictory statements.
If you want "solid and dependable", then stick with that you have.
If you're looking for a "smoother, reduced pull", then you'd want to look into a drop-in kit, like a Vanek kit (or learn how to do a .25 cent trigger job, basically that's what he does). Realize that his reduce the pull down to 2.5 - 3.0 pounds or something.

Your probably right. Maybe I should just stick to stock and live with it. I really don't want to get too light.
