So I have shot (and/or bought) many a regular-frame (9mm and .40) Glock since buying my first - a G21SF. The trigger on all of these Glocks is consistently smooth and light... and much better than my G21SF's. My G21 trigger is a tad heavier, which is no problem. But there is a bit of creep, and it's inconsistent.
I read that the striker pull distance was larger on these pistols, compared to the smaller frame guns, so the trigger is always going to be a bit heavier. But I also read that the early G21SF's, specifically, were made with a batch of rough trigger bars. Well, I polished the bar until it practically gleamed, everywhere, and it made no difference. I dry fired it several thousand times, and if anything it might have gotten a tad worse over time. So I finally decided to buy a new stock trigger and disconnector.
The new trigger helped quite a bit. Swapping for a new (same #5) disconnector helped a bit more. I can't tell what, if any, difference there is, but the new parts helped. There's still a tiny hint of creep left, but extremely small. I also tried swapping in the 8 lb disconnector, and I like this the best. The creep is pretty much imperceptible with this setup.
So has anyone else had a Glock with trigger creep? If so, did you figure out what caused it? I polished the original trigger bar and disconnector pretty much everywhere I could imagine any contact with anything... and it made no difference. It was still complete crap compared to the brand new replacement parts. The engaging surface on the striker looks perfect, too, btw.
