Hey Bill, While not a direct answer to your question, I will say that it really doesn't take much to "round out" the rough edges of the grooves on the trigger shoe. I just use some fine grit sand paper back and forth along the shoe until the sharp edges are toned down. I don't completely remove the grooves, just smooth them out a bit. It literally takes about five minutes. You can still see the grooves (can hardly tell they've been smoothed out), but it feels WAY better. No need to remove the trigger at all, just use some tape to protect the areas where you don't want the sandpaper to hit. The amount of work to sand the shoe face is significantly less than trying to replace the shoe, and it doesn't cost anything. I've done it to all my Glocks with grooved trigger shoes.

 

Thanks dpsk,

Can you tell me what sandpaper grit number (400, 600, etc) you used?
Thanks

 

I made my own with a smooth trigger shoe. Makes the gun much more pleasant for me.

 

Much easier and cleaner to swap out a smooth trigger shoe, or buy a converted trigger bar from Spartan24.

 

Start with 240 to 300 then work your way to 600. Lowing speed so there’s not too much heat and prevent melting.


Then do same with scotchbrite

You can do it

Remove a smooth shoe off another Glock and put it on your bar! I did it on my 43

I just use 400 grit, cut off small sections and do it by hand. I've used a dremel tool to do other work on different parts of different pistols, but using some moderate pressure with the sand paper on the tip of your finger works just fine.

 

Dremel type tools are great. If you can screw it up, just buy another part. I round out the sharp beak edges at the tip too for personal comfort.

 

first try smoothing it. if that doesnt work for you, buy a shoe and replace it, simple.

 

Are the smooth trigger shoes from another Glock models the same size that the G48 uses? Can you give me a couple of Glock models that the smooth trigger shoe would work on the G48?

Is Spartan24 a forum member? I am having trouble finding that ID in the member list to send a PM

my g 42 and 21 have smooth triggers, but they both have been replaced with johnny glocks adjustable trigger shoes.

The trigger shoes are the same across all Glock models, you could swap in a smooth shoe from a G17 onto your existing G48 trigger bar and be good to go. I did the same thing a few years ago with my G43.

 

phred119 - thanks very much for your reply!!

 

another option is to get a shoe from Johnny Glock which is enhanced. Replaced the shoe on my G43 and couldn’t be happier.

I'm very pleased with mine and the price is right. The only downside is you have to remove your serrated trigger shoe and install Johnny's. The latter is easier than the former. But for 22 bucks plus shipping you can't go wrong.

Saw this older thread and had some additional questions: If I order any model smooth Glock faced factory trigger shoe, will it fit my G48? Also, how difficult is it to replace the factory grooved trigger with just the smooth faced shoe? I plan on also installing the "5 Dot" connector in the G48. Does anyone have any experience with that type of connector?

 

Just swap a smooth shoe and be done with. I made a jig and have done a bunch of these for people. Heck with all this other sanding/dremel nonsense and expensive trigger “upgrades”.

 

Some people think needing a smooth shoe is nonsense.

 

Thanks for the replies; I can't seem to find a how to link or video on this process (swapping out the serrated shoe for a smooth faced trigger). If you could help me find the info I would greatly appreciate it

 

This did the trick for me. It uses an OEM glock trigger bar already connected. If you don't wish to have an improved break and reset just don't swap out the apex connector that is included.

 

Try to find johnnyglocks video library. He shows how to replace a shoe. I use a small punch and an awl.

 

Thanks very much...I do not want to use any aftermarket trigger parts at all. Don't have a problem using aftermarket otherwise (mags/sights etc), just not internals. I'll research the johnnyglocks library. I just spoke to a rep at glockstore (finally) and they estimate it will take them 2 weeks or more to ship out any parts...like the connector or the trigger bar set.

 

kage33; Just to let you know, I called Apex and they said that there is no way to change out a Glock trigger shoe safely or remove the trigger from the bar itself..."it will destroy the trigger", "blow out the side of the trigger" etc. The also said that they use their own manufactured trigger shoe, but the bar itself is a Glock original part. I asked, but the customer service rep couldn't explain how they accomplish that if removing the shoe from a trigger bar set "destroys" the trigger itself.

Not true...

 

Lol.

 

Yeah it sounded contradictory to me as well...especially since others posting on this forum have accomplished it successfully
