Both of my Glocks needed trigger work.

-3.5 LB conector

-6 LB trigger spring for quicker reset

-$.25 trigger polish job

-Lightened striker

-4 Lb striker spring

-SS rod & various springs to match my reloads

-Hienie slant pro rear sight, Dawson FO front sight (red).
 
well,

just got off the phone with glock.

The gun is going back to glock for a refinish (the previous owner stripped the slide for a bubba'd duo-tone) and the glock folks said they would also inspect and replace all parts. He also said that since this has the older style extractor they were going to do the mod and install the newer style, along with an extended slide release.

I mentioned the really bad trigger and he said to note that on paper and send with the gun and they would replace the entire trigger assembly (trigger, bar, connector, etc....) also i asked if they would put in a 3.5lb connector and they said to just note it and would be free of charge.

So getting a slide refinished and all new internals for only $45 (including return shipping)... the gun is boxed up and getting ready to ship out today.

Replace the crappy Glock sites with your favorite aftermarket ones.

How much trigger time do you have with the Glock action?

If you don't have a lot of experience shooting a Glock, I would recommend keeping it as-is upon return from refinishing. Instead of modding it, get a lot of practice "riding the sear" during both slow and rapid fire practice. The Glock trigger is an interesting animal, one of it's primary advantages is the short reset relative to other DA action types.

Since you are an experienced shooter you should be able to master this technique quickly. Once you do, you may not want to perform any mods that decrease the pull-weight of the trigger. From your post I get the impression that this gun is supposed fit the role of a practical CCW/ combat handgun that you also compete with informally, right? If so, I would stay away from lighter springs and metal guide rods, they have a reputation for decreased reliability with little improvement in practical performance.

I don't currently compete in any "gun games", my G19 is for social situations and my primary concerns are reliability and combat accuracy, hence your needs may differ from mine.

Sounds good! :D

How about the recoil spring? The Gen3 captured spring set is nice ... maybe add to your list if you have the older open spring ;)
 
Replace the sights with XS 24/7 Big Dots and load it up and shoot it. All 5 of my Glocks are set up that way, the G17's being used for 3 Gun Matches.
 
yeah from what I have read they basically refinish it to like new and many times upgrade to an extended mag release (like on the 17L). then they ship back to you in a factory glock case with all the normal paperowork, lock, etc... .. even read where a few guys that didn't send a mag with the gun ended up getting a new mag sent back with the gun I didn't include a mag when I sent my in, just to see if they will send a new one with the gun).

so my glock is now gone for 6-8weeks, but I just scored a p229 to use while waiting for my g19 to get back.
