A buddy needed to some money and he had a Gen 3 G-17 for sale.
The stock sights are pretty terrible so I ordered some Hi-Viz sights.
Usually I put Apex triggers in my Glocks but I had wanted to try a Lightning Tap Double Action Trigger. I got in touch with them via facebook and learned that COVID had delayed their production. They did have a short pull-short reset in production so being in the mood to try something new, I figured I would give one a try. They sent me to the recoilstore.com and bought it for a hundred and ten bucks.
After installing it I took it and a 19 with an Apex, to the range
They claim 4 lb pull and a 3mm reset. It took a while to get used to only letting the trigger go forward so little but once I got used to it. I can shoot the Lightning Tap faster. I was Jerry Miculek...well...in my mind I was.
In addition, my accuracy improved. That said, I can't promise whether it was the trigger or the bigger grip on the 17. My guess is that the faster reset was helping me, after all, I was using extended mags on the 19, coming close to replicating the grip of a 17...but can't say for sure.
I guess in order to do a true comparison I should install it in a 19 so that I can be true apples to apples. Still, I have got to say...I am a convert.
Now, if my hi-viz sights will come in, I will have my tupperware set up
Hoping to shoot a match next weekend and I will let some better shooters play with it and report what they say.
