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

Bars “are not interchangeable”. Only the shoe.
42 is a “titch” shorter in length than a 43 trigger bar.
Manufacturer sez “labeling” of box was wrong by the retailer.

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.

I’ve read the OEM trigger bar for the 42 does not fit in the 43. 4mm of difference.

Well if thats the case why do the aftermarket trigger kits say fits"42-43".
Tomorrow I will get a "Positive" answer...
But for now I see kits listed for installation on either or...42-43.

This is wrong
Retailer mislabeled the box as use for either 42 or 43.
Confirmed by manufacturer*
My particular purchase was for the “43 model” not 42.

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

I don’t know, but everything I’m reading says some parts on the 42 and 43 are interchangeable, but the trigger bar is not one of them.

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.

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.

Some parts are interchangeable....the trigger bar is Not one of these interchangeable parts.

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.

No dro

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

Drop in "kits" are available...

Yep read it but No Photos appeared......only way I'll be convinced is to match 'em myself.

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

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

[Spartan24]

They are clearly different.
