So I'll start with this since I'm sure some feathers will be ruffled, Glock is a great, reliable, utilitarian gun that deserves its reputation. Here however is where my admiration stops. I have had a few Glocks throughout the years and have ultimately ended up selling them off. The reason? The trigger. One would think that a huge manufacturer like Glock could produce a stock trigger superior to what they do.
I have recently gone back to striker fired carry guns. The first and most often carried is the obvious Glock copy, the Beretta Nano. I got this beauty for a steal food 199. She sports night sights and crimson Trace laser and came with 2 6 rnd mags and 2 8 rnd mags for that price. It is everything Glock except for the take-down which is much easier and the trigger which in my mind is by far better. Yes it's a longer, slightly heavier dao pull but is far smoother and cleaner than the Glock. For a carry gun i prefer the longer pull.
Despite its pocketability it is extremely accurate and pleasant to shoot.
Example 2 is a Ruger SR9C. An extremely reliable and accurate gun in its own way. Sleeker and more visually pleasing it also shares the "Glock like" trigger. Stock it is also superior to the Glock trigger. With almost identical 5 lbs trigger weight it is cleaner and smoother than the Glock without the "wall" the Glock trigger has.
Granted you can improve a Glocks trigger with upgrades if you want to put more cash into it.
The point is, with the competition providing better stock triggers and comparable reliability, why is Glock not matching the competition?
