I hacked a smooth trigger onto my G36 years ago, so doing it to my 43 was no big deal.

Buy a spare 17 trigger bar. Using a small punch, tap on the pin holding the trigger shoe enough that it leaves a pimple on the blind side of the trigger. Then, using a straight pin chucked into a pin vise push through the pimple to drive the pin out enough to grab it with a pair of needle nose pliers. Do the same to the other trigger bar, swap the shoes and reinsert the pin. Done.

Takes ten minutes.

Are we sure the 42 and 43 trigger bars are interchangeable? V Ghets, yours is working fine?

Good info! If I had known the 42 had a smooth trigger and the bar was interchangeable with the 43, I never would have done the hack.

Great, I thought you were speaking from your own experience. I may have just wasted $15...

Dammit, I should have looked in the documentation first - definitely not the same part. Hopefully I can cancel the order.

My Pyramid trigger bar/shoe fits either model 43 or 42.
Everything works great.

You may want to edit this...

Sorry, man. If you can’t cancel, you will have a donor trigger to do the conversion at least. That’s what it’s looking like to me of what I’ll have to do.

I already did the conversion using a donor 17 trigger bar. I was hoping for a drop-in.

Yep read it but No Photos appeared......only way I'll be convinced is to match 'em myself.
Yes the "trigger shoe" is smooth on the 42 and serrated on the 43.
Izzat possible because different "trigger shoes" different? Most likely YES.
I've found it TRUE with all kinds of parts in everything from washers to motorcycles that interchangeable parts will have different part numbers......that of which corresponds to a certain model.

Look at the snip from the Glock armorers manual I posted above - the difference in length is obvious.

No dro

No drop in per say but the shoe can be fitted....easily...

Drop in "kits" are available...

You implied you used a 42-43 trigger bar in one of your posts.

 

[heavyduty]

Interesting. Is it just a shoe, or the whole trigger bar? Could there possibly be two bars in the box and you mount the shoe to the right one?

No big deal, even if I can’t cancel the order.

 

[heavyduty]

Interesting. Apologies, I thought from your later posts that you hadn’t installed it yet. I wonder how they do it?
