Hi Duane! You must be feeling better. Anyway, I am shooting a G34. I am shooting Production. As I stated earlier, I am new to USPSA, although this is my 4th Glock (it is also the only one I still own). I did not install the "EDGE", I put in one of the "CHALLENGER" units. I have not shot a match with the new trigger. My first match, March 21st, I got my rear kicked! I may never amount to much as a shooter in this game, but have competed in other shooting sports. I stated my honest experience with the trigger, nothing more, nothing less. I had about 1000 rounds through my G34 plus or minus 200 (dang, now that I think about it, it may be more like 2,000 rounds). I have only 50 rounds through my new trigger. I figure on shooting a match next Sunday, the 11th, so by then should have a few hundred rounds with the new trigger unit. If I have any problems, you guys will be the third to know (me first, Jeff second). When I was trigger shopping, the only other one I was considering was the Vanek. I am sure they are both very good units. The reason I went with the Glocktriggers.com unit was that I liked what I was reading. I called Jeff, and he was down right interesting to talk to. I am not afraid to try a startup company either. I knew I wouldn't be out much if I didn't like the way it functioned. You get on the web, you are going to read stuff that blames problems on the product when it is more likely the man. I can not imagine that a properly installed trigger, put into a pistol that was not too messed up already, would defeat safeties without express written notification. I think if Mr. Vanek says they are all intact, then they are. I had a cowboy rifle that was custom and had one of the safeties defeated, and I couldn't let anyone else shoot it. They would jam the gun or mess something up. It is just not worth it. Choice is good, I just chose Jeff, not Charlie. I would really like to try a Vanek too, but have not, so can not comment on them other than they have a very good reputation. Some people like XD's, others Glocks. Good Shoot'in, WG

I really Like the feel of the STI's. I won't get rid of the Glock 34, but my son is old enough he has expressed an interest in shooting with me. SO..... I really like the STI, and plan on getting one that is semi-customized and my biggest question is do I go with the 5" or a 6" slide? Is there any disadvantage to the 6" that I can not think of? Would the longer slide limit the ability to use it for any class, disclipine or divisions? Is there some box out there that I am not aware of that it wouldn't fit into? I do not feel I can go wrong with a nice STI for USPSA limited, but what about other games? I would get one in .40 S&W. Your advice or suggestions are welcomed and encouraged. Thanks in advance. Gene

OK, so I bought a trigger and put it in. It took all of about 2 minutes. I installed in this order: First I installed the striker and plunger spring. I put the gun back together and tried my stone and polish job. Dang, it felt really good! Way better. I feel I needed to add that I have polished the portion of the striker that protrudes through the slide, along with the top. Basically the work suggested in the "Making Glocks Rock" video from AGI. Then, I removed my trigger group. I inspected the new trigger group. I found the entire assembly to be very "shiny". I noticed that the connector had been reduced to lighten the trigger pull. I felt that the trigger bar's "hump", the part that contacts the safety plunger, was not as smooth as my own job, but it was still very good. I did not remove the cruciform to inspect that portion of the mechanism. I put about a half a drop of EWL2000 on the point of contact between the cruciform and the connector. I installed the new "Challenger" trigger group, and did a test of all safety features. Everything performed flawlessly. All I can say is "WOW"! I am dumbfounded. I was going to so back and stone and repolish the "hump", but have decided it is not necessary. Dry fire was brought to a new level, so I decided to go punch some paper. Using factory PMC Bronze 115grain FMJ ammo, I did some slow fire. My group at 7 yards was basically one big ragged hole. No flyer, no anything but a surprise detonation of 5 rounds. I then did some quick double-taps and was pleasantly surprised when I discovered my second shot was much closer to my first. More so than without the new trigger. I then did some strong and weak handed fire. Again, I felt all rounds grouped much better. Will I go to my next USPSA shoot and beat the competition into the ground like a dung beatle? Naw, only practice will do that, but I really think it is going to be a part of getting me there. In conclusion, simply stated, this is a great trigger. I think that if you are looking for fast service, a great product at a fair price, and doing something that will enhance the performance of your Glock, yet not over do it. Look no more. I would buy this trigger again, in a heartbeat. I also have to add that a Glock is what it is. It is not a 1911. The way the striker functions will never let it be that way. This I have learned, but if you want a smooth shooting firearm, that functions the best that it can for competition, this is a great start. Your Pal, WG

I have 2 of the fancy ones, one of the others, plus a double Uncle Mikes on my belt. The fancy ones cant, the others do not. I run two canted in front, then the other behind that, then the double. I think this works fine for my current skill level. Good Luck!

If you are going to reload a single caliber, get the B. I have the 550, love it, but really think the B is the way to go if I were shooting a single caliber.

+1 on the .22 rimfire (I have a Henry lever that is the one I use the most), and the 12gu., I also use the .410 a lot, and a good quality pellet gun for stuff that is in places I don't want to shoot the other two in. In addition, we raise cattle, it seems like anytime I ever need to shoot a cow, which has happened more than I care to admit,I pull out my old Henry Rifle, clone, in .45 Colt. Enjoy the 2nd job! Your Pal, WG

Wow, that sure beats my "STP" stickers all to heck! WG

Thanks guys! Do not intent to Hi-Jack the thread. I have asked several very direct questions on the Glocktrigger.com forum that was referenced as being on this site. Good Shootin! Gene

I would get the Challenger. It is listed as USPSA Production legal. I wonder why he doesn't include a plunger in those? Thanks for your thoughts. Gene

OK, new guy here. Hello all! I am transitioning out of Cowboy Action. I am used ot the SAA triggers. You touch it, it goes boom. My G34 is not that way. I do not mind the pretravel, but the creep is killing me. I will pull and pull, seems like forever, and pull again till it goes off. I bought the AGI "Making Glocks Rock" video and it is very good, stoned what they said to stone and polished everything they said to polish, and it is much smoother, but there is still a ton of creep. Do you feel, OP or anyone else please, the Glocktrigger or Vanek will help me get rid of much of the creep, or would I be better served with a new striker and safety plunger? I have a SS guide rod on order, and will try a 13# or 15#, and have taped the grips so those bases are covered. Again, I will be shooting production. Thank you and please, if I asked this in the wrong place, let me know, I will repost as necessary (along with pm, or whatever). I just hate the tought of spending un-necessary money, don't mind if it will help. I don't have a single action revolver that I haven't had stoned, or upgraded triggers or springs on or something. I do not want to send my Glock away either. I shoot or dryfire at least daily, and couldn't bear to part with it that long. Thanks. Sincerely, Gene
