Who knows?

It's probably perfection to the 10th power though. I mean there is only so much perfection Glock can pack into one gun and still maintain pricing.

 

PF has a 64 page thread on the thing. In there is linked this vid, which should probably address your questions. N.B. I don't have one to give any impressions.

 

It makes your Glock single action. For anyone who wants to argue this point, with the GPT installed, the firing pin spring is fully compressed when the action is cycled and returned to battery. Pulling the trigger on a GPT only moves a sear which releases the firing pin = single action. Watch Jonny Glock's videos for more detail on that.

I have a bunch of Glocks setup with $0.25 trigger jobs and either - or . connectors, and one Gen5 with a GPT that I installed. In dry fire, the GPT feels really nice. In live fire, I really can't say I notice any difference between a stock Gen5 gun with GPT (my Gen5 34) vs a well used stock Gen3 34 with - connector and all parts that move during trigger pull polished. Trigger pull weights (measured with a Lyman digital trigger pull gauge) on these two 34s are just about the same (3.5 lbs).

Yep. Glock copied the copiers. 😬

 

Makes you spend 100 that you’ll never regret.

 

$200 if you add the Johnny Glock Vex trigger shoe and tune out all the take up

 

I like mine. For me, it's a huge difference from the OEM trigger.

 

I have one, not currently installed in any of my Glocks. For you question of what it is, It’s like a rolling break. Pretty clean and decently crisp. No real wall before the bang, less take up. Tbh, kinda like an old Ghost evo elite custom fit connector I had. (It’s been a while since I used that so maybe I’m wrong)

I liked my predicable wall on the original trigger, and I learned to know the take up and use it to pre stage the trigger on draw. The polishing made my stock smooth. So I stayed stock.

I liked the shoe on the performance trigger, it felt nice on the finger, I may try it again at some point. Idk, time will tell.

 

I have one in a G47. They have a lighter pull weight and make the gun single action. For competition it's a good trigger for carry stay away they tell you this on the packaging.

 

I have one on a G45 and use it as my "carry around the farm gun and sometimes other places" gun. With my trigger pull measuring 4.3 pounds, I have no problem using it as a carry gun. I do not remember anything on the packaging warning the user that the GPT is unsuitable for carry gun purposes or any words to that effect. I don't see anything like that on Glock's website, either. The only warnings or cautions, if you will, was that the GPT must be installed by a certified Glock Armorer and that it does not meet the NIJ Standard for law enforcement use.

 

Buy it yourself. No one can describe it properly. I have two , one installed with a Ranger trigger shoe.
I like it just fine. There are about an equal pro & con list which is why I say buy it and try it… then you can properly decide.

 

I would rather get user-feedback first, before I drop $100 on it. Just being cautious.

 

Glock wanted a piece of the pie that all the other aftermarket trigger makers were enjoying.

The GPT might actually be made by Timney for Glock labeling and packaging. Not sure how that works.

Labeling it as a "competition" or "off road use only" gives them a legal pass.

As 1911s fall farther away in posterity, a positive adjective is "rolling" - where in the past "mushy" was used.

Made in Austria. If I get time I’ll dig thru my parts boxes and post a pic later..

 

I’ve shot 5 guns with the competition triggers. 3 stock guns Gen5 G17, Gen4 G34, Gen5 G19, for stock, a P80 G19 w/ aftermarket everything, and a G17 long slide set up as a unlimited gun.

in every case if I put them up against a factory trigger group, the Comp trigger just shoots better, better press, better trip, better reset, and quicker to recover for the next shot. (My objective opinion)

Talk one of your range partner into getting one if you are leery of spending $100. The only trigger I have tried that beats it is a Timney I installed on my Gen4 G22 that I turned into a race gun for GSSF.

I think before spending for the PT one should ask what the primary purpose will be for your platform;
Mine is not a target pistol, not a competition pistol nor is it collectible. It remains a SD purpose platform only---as such, the OEM trigger is perfectly adequate for my intended purpose.
But opinions will vary

 

I do not have one. However I shot a 34.5 MOS with one and it feels nice compared to other GLOCK triggers. I was told it breaks at 90 degrees is what the difference is. Dont know enough about that to argue or validate a point. But I will be putting the GPT in my Gen 5's.

 

I have 4 of them. :O 3 are in guns and I have been running one in my Gen5 G34MOS in IDPA matches with excellent results. I credit it for cutting my average points down in roughly half. I will let you know how the G17 runs after this weekend @ Rt66. 😎

 

As others have said, makes it single action.

I had one in my Gen 3, liked it but took it out for a number of reasons and it's sitting in my parts box.
Would I still have it in if it were not for those reasons? Yes.

My feelings about it in retrospect:

1) If someone is chasing a 1911 type of trigger, this ain't it. Glocks tend to have more sear engagement than a 1911 and therefore the wall on a Glock even with GPT is still a bit "longish".
2) Is it undeniably a BETTER "feeling" trigger than stock? Yes.
3) Be very careful with what trigger shoe you put on it. Shoes that take up a lot of pre-travel make it perilously close to non drop safe, IMHO. Of course this was in a Gen 3, which it was not designed for, so YMMV.
4) Is it worth $100 (FYI, that's on the high side - PA has 'em for $79)? Yes.

That being said, I am basically happy now with 5# striker spring, dot connector, and Vickers trigger shoe.

How well did it fit in a Gen3? AFAIK, they're only intended for use in Gen5 guns and provide clearance for the 2-sided slide stop. I would think there would be some side to side play in the trigger shoe in a Gen3.

4) forced reset (I think).

I'd forgotten about this, and it actually annoys me. With a normal Glock trigger, you can tell by looking at it if the trigger is reset or if it's been pulled and the striker released. With the GPT, it always looks reset.

I've had a couple trigger shoes designed to fit Gen 5 in my Gen 3 (Vex and the GPT shoe itself) and that clearance for the slide stop has not been an issue on any of them. Shoes were no more wobbly than stock Gen 3 shoe.

 

No overtravel on mine.
Very predictable, not overly light.
I carry with it confidently.

 

Gives you a nice soft pull, not as crips and not with a defined wall, but love mine and shoots fine!
Competition for me only not comfortable for EDC IMHO.

 

Forgive my ignorance, will this also work with 40 and 357sig?

 

It is Performance Perfection

I like the GPT, have them in several pistols

Here is the official comparability list from Glock

The GLOCK Performance Trigger is compatible with the following models:

• G26 Gen4/Gen5
• G19 Gen4/Gen5
• G17 Gen4/Gen5
• G34 Gen4/Gen5
• G19X
• G45
• G47
• G17L Gen5 MOS

I can tell you with minor mods it will work with more models. If you are a purist, the above is all that glock approves.
TIP: GPT will work in a 40 if you replace the ejector.
