I appreciate you posting this how to video. Was looking to lighten the trigger on my 23 and this made it perfect. I've got medium hands and the thick grip makes me have to use all the meat just to get comfortable with the Glock trigger. Doing this trigger job helped me get tighter groups as I don't have to force my trigger finger forward to get the clean rearward travel. Step by step & did it with your simple instructions. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks after all! :-} Subbed!
Just ran across your 5 part series and it is awesome. Easy to understand, you took your time to explain by showing some things that others made more difficult and the few tips/tricks were excellent. I'm subbing to your channel, hope you'll do the same for me. Peace, jr
I've been considering doing this to my Gen 3 G19. This is a CCW gun, so I am worried about making the trigger any lighter than stock. What I'm looking to change is to have a smooth trigger without all the grit. If I stick with the stock parts that came with the gun from the factory (I assume it came with a 5.5 connector?), will this actually lighten the trigger pull in addition to smoothing it out? Thanks a bunch for your vids BTW, I watched all 5 parts beginning to end and you're very through!
The polish job will remove what we refer to as "creep". Creep is actually that gritty feeling when the sear is engaged during movement. The polish job helps to reduce this friction and gritty or crunchy feeling. While it may be perceived as a lighter pull, it is mostly what creates a smooth feel during sear movement. The lighter pull weight is more reliant on the connector and or spring swaps. Yes most Glock's ship with a 5.5 connector as standard. Thanks for watching!
Very impressive and very clear presentation, tomorrow early in the morning I will do my trigger Job this is one of the good side of YOU TUBE....thank you so much...from the Philippines
@ssdsurf ...ha ha ha ha you know some tagalog/filipino words...I already did the trigger job of my two Glocks my Glock 22 and my Glock 30, the Glock 30 seems more smoother trigger that my Glock 22 and I already test it yesterday I would say I hit more accurate the Glock 30 at 20 meters maybe because of the smooth trigger (head shot ) half inch my margin of error. I will try another trigger job on my Glock 22. Thank you so much....and Mabuhay
@ssdsurf Ok... she will take care of you for sure.....in case you will be coming here for vacation...send me an email to sniperod@gmail.com I will bring you to the firing range or maybe I can help you in any ways.
I tend to stick with a standard spring. Some will go with a NY spring set up or others perhaps liking the reset quality of the spring, but I prefer the standard spring. It is the reset and feel that I prefer and results show on a timer. At least for me. Everyone is different however.
Question -- After polishing and re-assembly should the lube point between the connector and trigger bar be lubed with a drop of oil? Or, will lubricating at the trigger bar / connector area cause the oil to break down the polishing. Seems to me that if all polishing compound is removed there is nothing to break down and that area should in fact be lubed per Glock maintenance recommendations. Can / should slide rail guides (attached to frame) be polished too?
Yes you should oil as normal. Go light on the connector oil as it will attract a lot of dirt and gum up the connector. Normal cleaning will avoid this, but many don't like to clean their Glocks. I do know some people who polish the connector / trigger bar and prefer not to place oil, but just wipe it down. While the polish job makes it very very slick, I still use a small amount of lube.
I've watched more Glock videos like this than I care to admit, .. this was the best. The crisp photography in the closeups made it a primo video, not blurry. Good lighting, good angles, good explanations. One suggestion. When pulling the plastic caps off the firing pin to release the spring. If you put the firing pin assy backwards back into the slide, it's the perfect "holder" and nothing slips while you work. Gonna do this to my G19 Gen 4. Excellent all the way!
I love your video series! I did exactly as you did with my G22, and man what a difference...( I did a bunch of up grades to my piece but that trigger was lacking that easy break at the end of the pull). After it was all said and done, I was absolutely impressed! What great info you have given all of us here! My gun feels like a new weapon.
Great tutorial man. I love it. I just did this to my g27 this afternoon and it turned out great. I was kind of scared of the 2.5lb trigger pull on a daily carry weapon so I did the 4.5 like you did and I love it. Thanks man.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, it must take time to put this stuff together so your videos are greatly appreciated. I followed your polishing instructions and fitted a Lone Wolf Ultimate Trigger Stop to my 35 and the trigger action is significantly better.
ssdsurf, excellent demo. I do not own a glock but I do own the s&w sigma, I personally have done all the work that you just showed on your glock to my sigma about 8 months ago, also replacing the striker spring and it is now near perfection. After all they (S&W) copied the glock almost exact. there are a few differences in the sear that needs alot of attention, but once they are polished up the pistol is awesome. Great job, I just subscribed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey thanks for the great vids..... I have a ghost 3.5 lb connector and competition spring kit on the way, I will do your polishing job as well and reference your videos to make sure I get it all done correctly :)
Just finished this following your instructions to the T, and had excellent results. Tomorrow I'll make it to the range and will ensure reliability, but I foresee no problems.
I run the 3.5lb connector and NY1 spring so I didn't really feel it lighten up, but it sure as hell is much smoother. I have 2500 through this combo right now and will smirk at those who say shooting the gun will accomplish the same thing.
Best Glock trigger job video on YouTube. Thank you.
Very good series. Thanks for posting.

Great instructions. Every glock I have owned has had a "crunchy" trigger. I think that will make sense to any flock owner.
This removed the crunch. Thanks
