Changes to Glock Trigger Bars?

[Ben86]

I recently ordered an OEM Gen 3 Glock 17 trigger bar to stick on my Glock 19 (because I like the smoother trigger more). The problem is what I received in the mail is pretty different from the stock trigger bar on my 3rd Gen G19. The arm that deactivates the striker safety has an odd hump on it and the part of the trigger bar that attaches to the trigger safety is shaped way different (in such a way that makes installation and removal from the trigger spring more difficult). It looks more like a Gen 4 trigger bar if I'm not mistaken (only looked at one once about a year ago).

I returned the trigger bar to company X (thinking it had been mispackaged) and they returned exactly the same thing. I called them up and they said that's the way Glock makes all trigger bars now.

Is this true? I tried the new trigger bar in my G19 and it makes the trigger weird. The hump on the trigger bar scrapes against the inside of the slide causing ruff take up.

Are there really no more "humpless" trigger bars being produced?

Is there a purpose in the hump? Is it an actual improvement of some kind?

The G17 trigger bar isn't interchangeable with the G19 trigger bar if the Glock OEM parts research I've done is accurate.

Really? I thought it was a common swap for those that didn't like the grooved G19 trigger.

I'll have to look into that.

I replaced my G19 and G26 with a 17 Trigger bar and did the same on my 23 and 27 with a G22 Bar.

No problems at all and none had the bump on the bar. All of this was done in the last few months.

OP, this would be news to me. I've done the swap, no problems.

Just an FYI:
You can use your G19 trigger bar and just swap the actual trigger. All you have to do is drill a tiny pin sized hole through the side of the trigger, opposite the pin that holds it on the trigger bar. (Wire gauge drill bit, like a #65-75). Tap the pin out with a small jewelers screwdriver or a short bit of piano wire. Swap triggers. Push pin back in. Easy peasy.

If you don't have a wire gauge drill bit, you could probably just use a hot needle.

Yes, Glock still produces the Gen 3 trigger bars without the hump/dimple, or whatever you want to call it. Someone is misinformed.

As for the purpose, I don't have my armorer's manual in front of me, but I can try to get back to you when I do.

You need Glock part# 357 for your 3rd Gen G19 (I have a G19, G23, G26 (all 3rd Gen) that I have changed out to this part (years ago though))

Did they send you Glock part# 3608 (for 4th Gens) by mistake?

Glock 17 trigger bar will fit in a Glock 19 without a problem - no need for drilling, tapping and etc. The problem comes from different calibers requiring different frames as to width and length of mag well. As to the dimple - it is there to position the arm in the center of FPS. That ruff take up will go away after the dimple smooths itself a passage in the slide thru the paint coat. If the dimple bothers you then file it carefully.

That's what they thought at first and I sent it back to them, bu then they sent the same thing back to me and claimed that's all they make now.

You mean it's going to alter my slide's original design to suit it's purpose? Oh hell no!

That makes sense, not that I think about what side it's on in relation to the FPS. I still don't like it.
