Heard a good one today...

[AK103K]

My Gen2 Glock 17 went 120,000+ rounds and I sold it to another match shooter because I was concerned about barrel rifling wear. Well, another match shooter bought it and after checking for accuracy, he said accuracy was fine and kept shooting USPSA matches with it (Tennifer surface hardening of barrel and slide makes for one hard surface to wear).

As to trigger wear? AFAIK, trigger was smooth and operated normally.


Or dry fire 800 times instead while watching the front sight to improve your trigger control/grip ... much cheaper. M
I tell people to dry fire pistols at the gun store (with approval) prior to buying while watching the front sight. I figure, pistols that jerks/moves the front sight less when the striker is released out of the box will have smoother trigger as the pistol is broken in and will be more accurate.

Before I bought my last Glock (Gen3 Glock 23), I went through several models before I found one that did not jerk/move the front sight. When the store staff got curious what I was looking for, I showed him the front sight movement and he was shocked how much other pistols jerked/moved the front sight.

This past May, I sent my one Gen 3 17 back to Glock with a broken rail. They replaced the frame and all other parts except the slide and barrel. When I sent it in, it had right around 150K though it. I asked them about the barrel, and they said it was fine. You can actually "feel" the smiley on the barrel when you run your finger across it. Bore still looks good, but there are a couple of dark spots in it though.

It was gone two weeks, and that was the longest it has gone without being shot, in over 10 years. Right back at it when it came home too.

Its also the gun I dry fire with on a daily basis. And to tell the truth, I really dont see a difference in how the trigger feels between it, and the one they replaced. But then again, I dont think about the trigger when I shoot, I either focus on the sights or the target. Thats where your focus belongs.

If you have to think about making the gun work, whats going on with the trigger, or your grip, ect, you have a bit of a ways to go yet I think.

The P250 has a very nice DAO trigger, and very much like a revolver. I also had a P245 with a factory DAO trigger (not DAK) that was very nice as well. Most people I let shoot either, didnt seem to like them though.

Most who shot my other, more traditional P series SIG's, usually didnt decock them when they loaded them, and shot them SA, or they would thumb cock them first if I handed them one that had been decocked.

They way I used to do it with a DA/SA Pistol like a Beretta 92. Decock on every shot until you shot good groups. Shoot SA until you shot good groups. Then shoot DA/SA Double Taps until you shoot good groups. Now your ready to shoot full mags.

PS Most of the Generation that complain about the Glock trigger are likely to own two handguns if they own any. A 1911 and a K-Frame so they are familiar with the DOA. I think they just didn't care for the squishy Glock (Especially Gen 1 and Gen 2) trigger feel.

I can't stand a Glock trigger.

I own quite a few pistols. None of them are Glocks. An even dozen 1911 pistols. A dozen Ruger Mark II pistols. A couple of Browning Buckmarks, One S&W L frame, one S&W 5906, a couple of XD pistols, a couple of Canik TP9 pistols, a Ruger Redhawk, those are the high points.

Glock triggers were just different than the S&W and Colt Triggers we were accustomed to. Different isn't necessarily bad just different. It is amazing how much different two Poly Pistol Triggers can be.

My .45 Shield has less take-up, no stacking and clean break.

M&P M2.0 has more take up, stacking and the lightest OEM Pull I've found in a Striker Pistol.

You would think being designed about the same time by the same company they would be more similar. I much prefer the Shield Trigger despite being heavier (Although at just over 5 lb it isn't really heavy).

I never really noticed the Glock triggers were "mushy", and I own, or have owned, Gen 1 through 5.

I believe the correct term is “sproingy”.

After shooting my SP101 I downright appreciate the light, smooth glock trigger haha. Nothing tops a high end 1911 but Glocks are great as far as it goes. I shoot all mine great.
