I had given up on aftermarket Glock triggers. I couldn't see the value. They all felt the same to me, with some removing the "wall". I have some Glocks where I've spent almost $200 on the trigger to a final result of meh. I've concede to the point that the best (for me) was the $.25 trigger job combined with a flat trigger shoe. This is why I do not have 2 of the same brand trigger groups (other than fluff and buff OEM) in my Glocks. None have been good enough for me to be a repeat customer. Not a knock against any company, just can't justify the ROI for a slightly cleaner trigger. You just can't unglock a Glock trigger.

Glock has come out with their OEM performance trigger. Finally a trigger that I can feel a difference on! I combined it with flat trigger shoe and have a great trigger for less than $100 total. Sorry I don't have a trigger pull gauge, but my calibrated finger says 4ish lbs at the wall.

Pros:
•Less pull weight
•Shorter reset
•Cleaner break
•Entire pre-assembled FGC direct replacement (easy)

Cons:
•Still some "spongeyness" on take up
•Trigger returns to forward after dry fire
•Gen5 only
•Need to offer flat face option
•If you take the trigger bar out, it requires 3 hands to replace or a small flat head screw driver clamped in a vice.

The spongey take up is minimal due to the light take up. But it is still there. I can live with it.

The trigger returning forward is a weird one. I like being able to tell the condition of my Glocks by sight, but I couldn't tell you if any of my other pistols do or don't. I don't rely solely on this, so I guess it doesn't matter for me.

The entire unit comes rubber banded together. Punching out the pin for the shoe replacement, I removed the trigger bar. The design of this is a spring loaded pin with a slot in the head interacts with the trigger bar. That was "fun". Don't take it apart if you don't have to.

All in all, this is the first FCG I've replaced in a Glock where I felt it was worth the money. I will buy another for my G19, and if and when it becomes available for my G20, it will get one as well.
 
Interesting. What others have you tried? I’m looking for something to help my G20 feel a bit crisper

A few others I can't remember.

So far for my 10mms, a Overwatch Percision Poly Dat flat trigger shoe that is $35, but frequently goes on sale at Primary Arms for $20 and polish job, 20 minutes and done. I haven't seen anything that provides any significant improvement that correlates to the cost.
 
I add Vickers Tactical flat triggers and use Wolff 5.0 lb striker springs and reduced power plunger springs to bring my Glock triggers down a bit in weight, and I lightly polish the points within the trigger system to smooth it a bit.

The OP is right, a Glock trigger will always be a Glock trigger. One can never make it into a 1911 trigger, so I don’t even try. But when they are improved they can be pretty good.:)

This little bit of work makes it a bit nicer, as the trigger feel is improved along with the weight. :thumbup:

Stay safe.
