Ok, first, the disclaimer, then the history, then the question:
Disclaimer: I do not hate Glocks; I have three and want to understand them better and shoot them better.
The history: 25 years ago, I bought a bunch of Glocks; I owned the following: 17, 19, 22, 23, 21 and 30. I liked their utility and thought of them as appliances. I never shot them for groups and preferred “combat” shooting of 7 yards or less. I got out of shooting about 20 years ago and sold a lot of guns, including all the Glocks.
Last year, I got back into shooting as I became semi-retired and had more time for hobbies. I re-acquired three Glocks, a 17, a 20 and 21, all gen 5 MOS models and I mounted red dots to them all.
I like their businesslike nature, their reliability, and they are decently accurate. However, I have an unutterable loathing for their triggers. I don’t know how to describe it except that it’s the worst of everything. It’s not smooth, it feels like running your finger over ground clam shells. The “wall” such as it is, is mushy. The trigger feel, with the dangly safety, is deplorable. The pull is too heavy.
I want to like them and shoot them better, I just put Ghost Ultimate connectors in them and have done the $.25 trigger job as described. They’re still horrible. People say to fire them like a double action revolver. No, the trigger in no way feels anything like a double action revolver. I don’t shoot these guns as well as I’d like because of the trigger, so what can I do? Is there any way to make these triggers a joy and not a nightmare?
Thank you so much for your help!
