How to Polish Glock internals ("25 cent trigger job", crisper trigger and easier clean up)

[MrCain81]

Cool vid you should do a video on how you polish the glock barrel I want to take the bluing off and polish it so it has a mirror finish and would like to see a good video on it thanks

[bigquillie1]

Dude, you polish a bunch of things that dont need polished including the locking block.

[81lubbock]

in my exp in auto repair if ya don't want to mar a surface with pliers, wrap the piece or each side of the pliers with a paper towel or piece or rubber. there are rubber covers you can buy for all pliers out there if you think its worth paying for

[keithwhisman]

Also you didn't polish the firing pin striker cocking lever. You should polish the top front and sides of the striker cocking lever that is part of the striker.

[keithwhisman]

You polished a lot of the parts that don't make contact and missed the important surfaces like the inside top edge of the connector and the top edge of the rounded end that actually curves inside the connector. Also you neglected to polished the edge of the trigger bar that rubs against the Firing Pin Safety plunger. So your trigger is probably still a little gritty after your trigger job.

[ArmedCivilian556]

what type of wheel are you using on the dremel

[jroxx11211]

the locking block, thats what that part is called.

[dannyortiz76]

Nice going! You just polished off the rust resistant finish that GLOCK puts on there for a reason!

[250rapid]

I will skip the Dremel and do it by hand with a Q tip. Many parts have been ruined by using Dremel tool and over-polishing, removing the hard nickel plating, or rounding off edges that need to be kept sharp resulting in an even harder pull, non-functioning, or much worse: a totally unsafe pistol with uncontrolled firing.

t;hat was educational thank

[dale88ward]

Not much help, too fast.

[Rook369]

@dale88ward use your pause button retard.

[ekserchina]

Get a smaller wheel for the tight spots.

[applevalleyjoe]

Excellent video...thanks.

You can find Flitz at your local Ace hardware store as well. Great video, a cheap way of REALLY improving the feel of your Glock trigger. Just take your time, not to take off to much material, just polish. I did this procedure to my 23, feels great! Mods, Bt guide rod, smooth trigger, polished internals, including rails, and upper mag lips, titanium striker, titanium plunger, spring kit, etc. Love my glock!

[GarandGunner]

A word of caution, there some areas you DO NOT want to polish. The areas where metal contacts polymer should not be polished out. The tab on the Connector bar where it goes into the trigger housing and the locking block need to fit in there snugly, you don't want them to move around.

Why is the ejector bent that way? I mean, 9mm ejectors are a bit bent inwards, but your's is all crooked up.

[StarWarsSurvivalist]

Is taking apart the Glock 23 Gen 4 done the same way?

[danielp59]

@StarWarsSurvivalist

Yep

[StarWarsSurvivalist]

@danielp59 Thank you! About to start it right now!

Very informative Video. Don't mind the Haters, those "3" people are jealous of your skills. lol

[215Dominator]

Awesome video!!!

[FragranceJunkie]

Thank you for sharing Daniel. Great videos. Love the high res quality an detailed views. Cheers

I'm just wondering if there is any rhyme or reason to what parts should be polished. You spend some time polishing things that are going to be buried inside the plastic of the frame, and are thus really not needing polishing. So why doesn't Glock Inc. polish the parts to begin with? Do they know something we don't know about the friction that might be good to have in certain areas that we are polishing away? Is there any science to the polishing, or does it just look good?

[jim49217]

@BigDTexas You hit on a good question “is there a science” yes there is, if done correctly you will see a noticeably better trigger pull that is liter and smoother. It is important to know what you are doing as you can mess things up, I like to use stones on most parts to keep the “sharp edges” sharp, when using power tools Go Easy and light, or you can ruin parts, My G27 (EDC) is at 4lbs just by a little work and smooth as silk.

[keithwhisman]

@BigDTexas Actually the finish on all the internal parts are PTFE based Teflon coatings. Now there is nothing wrong with polishing and flattening out rough areas that have a mechanical movement and connection but all other areas should be left alone. Just the baring surfaces should be polished and smoothed out. The rails and even the feed ramp are coated with a teflon coating. Only polish to smooth out rough areas. Everything else is a waste.

[TheVollertron]

used flitz/dremel on my Ruger SR9 internals - HOLY F*&$. the trigger pull on this like 80% better. it's like a new gun. obviously the sr9 comes with a worst trigger than glock but after a polish it's on par, FINALLY! thanks for the guidance!

[tmaretzki]

not to nit pick, buuuut, @ 1:26 you point at the slide and call it the frame, then pick up the frame and call it the slide - twice... nervous? lol

[danielp59]

@tmaretzki

Haha. I noticed that after I up loaded it.

[donthebodyguard]

great video. one thing you might try next time.polishing the face of the firing pin lug the flat portion which comes into contact w/ the trigger bar cruciform. following up w/ the most important function test.

[pjicleanair420]

i did this and it came out great

[BigTVideos]

Thanks, where do you find flitz?

[danielp59]

@BigTVideos

You can get it from your local auto parts store. If you cant find it, Mothers mag polish also works very well.

[DasBulk]

Tip: To remove the block pin above the trigger, install an EMPTY magazine. The magazine follower pushes the slide release up. Like it should. With the empty magazine still in, press down on the part of the slide release thats exposed on the assembled gun, the part of it that you normally use, THEN push the pin out. It lines everything up just right and pushes right out without any fuss. Good vid.

[DallasfuckingTT]

Great Video, I used it to take down my Glock 19 today.

[mikematij2]

locking block is what that thing is called, its easy to remember cause its what the barrel "locks" onto, good vid thanks

[Puuchu]

[Northemt88]
