LINC Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Glock 35, trigger pull was decent but recently after shooting I noticed that the trigger became very stiff. Didnt think it was going to break. Since then I have cleaned it completely twice. The last time I polished up all the trigger parts to see if it would help. I replaced the aftermarket trigger spring with the stock one to see if this helped but no luck. I dont have a gauge but would guess the trigger pull has to be 10 lbs. It is like hitting a brick wall. Gun has 5k rounds or so through it. After market parts include: Glockworx trigger spring and connector, lonewolf barrel, dawson mag well and some grip tape. I havent done anything else besides shoot it. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINC Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 And to add, the gun shoots and cycles fine. Just takes a crowbar to pull back the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Miles Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Pull it down and take a look. Kind of hard to troubleshoot a problem without being able to look at it like you can. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I would return it to stock condition and see what happens. Then troubleshoot from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayouSlide Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Have you carefully lubed the interface between the connector and the trigger bar. Some Glocks I've seen with crazy heavy pulls had some galling in that area due long term lack of lube in that spot. Also check that the trigger bar has not bent and is rubbing excessively on the inside of the frame. Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINC Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 Well i put it back to stock as i could, couldnt find the stock connector. Seems to have enough lubrication. Only thing i noticed is the connector is bent out towards frame a little. I couldnt remember if it was supposed to be that way or is that my problem?

BayouSlide Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Normally they are bent out a little. I personally have always run the Lone Wolf 3.5# connectors, if you're looking to try something new. Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadeslade Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I think Bayou has the answer on this. Try to compare the trigger bar with another Glock or with a friends. Also, if you had to force the slide on and the firing pin safety was stuck-it could bend the trigger bar in. The connector should be out a little bit. Did you rack it with the trigger pulled all the way back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagger10k Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I agree with this. I had a similiar problem recently, and that's exactly what it was. I took it apart, cleaned the area up, polished it like crazy with flitz (by hand), and put a little lube on there. Good as new. Have you carefully lubed the interface between the connector and the trigger bar. Some Glocks I've seen with crazy heavy pulls had some galling in that area due long term lack of lube in that spot.

LINC Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 I dont recall having to force the slide on. I have a glock 30 i can compare the trigger to. Ill look at in the mornin, thanks guys. Ill let u know if anything turns up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy Soto Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Either the trigger bar on your pistol is bent or the connector housing is cracked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Does the firing pin lock move easily up and down with finger pressure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINC Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 I went back through it and compared the trigger bar to the other glock and everything looked ok. I put a little mobil 1 (I had hoppes on it) and it seems to have fixed it. Still pretty heavy but nothing like it was, thanks for all the tips.

If the angle is correct on the connector try another connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Question: what was the last thing you changed just before the trigger pulls got heavier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biloxi23 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Like Duane said, check to ensure that the firing pin safety operates freely. Old solvent and oil inside of the slide can trap carbon, which then can get almost as hard a mortar. This can prevent the fring pin safety from operating freely. With the firing pin safety impeded, this could make the trigger harder to pull. Maek sure that no (I mean none) oil gets in the firing pin channel or the hole for the firing pin safety. This oil/solvent/carbon mixture can render a Glock non-funtional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINC Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 I believe the last thing I changed was putting the lone wolf barrel in it. I think I just cleaned the gun too good. I just cleaned it with hoppes and thought that was good enough but looks like it was too dry. Of course it hasnt been a problem till now. After I dry fired it some and shot it today its back to where it was. Thanks to all for the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty whiteboy Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 If you only have one drop of oil for a Glock, put it where the connector and trigger bar touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Your gun sounds like it needs oil. Hoppe's is a cleaner. You need to oil it afterwards (in the specified places).
