Glock Trigger

[wecklish]

I have spoken with several people who own a Glock who have had the trigger pressure reduced. Is this a godd idea and is it safe?

I guess it depends on what you need the gun for and who you ask. NYC apparently thought they needed to make the trigger heavier after a bunch of their officers started putting holes in the walls, roofs, etc. If it's for carry, I don't know if a lighter trigger is a good idea. It's not meant to be a single action.

Depends on how you're lowering the trigger pull. Fitting a 3.5# connector (which pls note does not result in a 3.5# trigger pull, very common misconception) is something that a lot of factory glocks already have. I would say that is not a "bad idea". Some of the more radical options such as drilling the trigger bar, etc. would probably fall under the "bad idea" category if you're the kind to worry about such things.

Realistically, any reputable company is going to sell products that don't comprimise the safety of the weapon. From there, regardless of the weight of the trigger, it's up to the operator behind it to know when to apply the requist amount of pressure and when not too.

Are ND's more likely with lighter triggers? Who knows, never seen a study that provides data on that. Personally I'd say no. Idiots will be idiots regardless of the trigger.
