Trigger threads are almost as fun as “bear gun” threads.
My rant:
I have way more rounds through Glocks, mostly stock, than anything else, so my opinion sucks. For me, lighter isn’t necessarily better.
I’ve owned two Walther PPQ’s, a .45 and a M2 9MM. Both had light, smooth triggers. Both were fun to shoot. Both were accurate. Both were sold.
I bought an XD 3.3 .45ACP. Put a Powder River Precision trigger in it. Wow! Great trigger! Sold it. I’ve put PRP triggers in several XDms for a friend. He loves them! They are nice triggers and really make the XDm a
Nice shooter.
My Shield 1.0’s had gritty triggers at first but got better with polishing. Sold them when Glock launched the G43X.
I bought a Staccato 2011. I have a friend who is a diehard fan. Great trigger! Very light and accurate. It is being sold…too light!
Sounds fickle, right? Sure. Maybe. Probably. But we all have what we prefer.
The smoothest and lightest Glock triggers I have are a G44 with a Timney Alpha trigger and a G23 G4 that has seen over 13K rounds through it.
If you are a 1911 shooter and you have a Glock you like to shoot at the range or competition and hate the trigger, GET the TIMNEY! It is that good and that much better than anything else. But it is NOT a carry trigger!
I will admit, the G43/43X/48 triggers (I own several) don’t feel like the G17/19 size gun triggers to me. They are “tinny”. I have to shoot them for a while to get them better. My carry is generally a G43X that has a Johnny Glock carry trigger. I like it.
Most of my Glocks have 4.5 connectors and MCARBO spring kits (carry spring weights) and I polish the internals. Works for me…I don’t sell Glocks.
So again, my opinion sucks…and I am clueless when it comes to good or bad triggers. I can shoot almost anything passably, as I have friends with all sorts of flavors of pistols and shoot all fine.
But I know what I prefer and what works for me. YMMV
