Arlin Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I was acting as an RO yesterday with a shooter with a Glock 34 open gun in 9mm minor. His gun would double each time he shot and actually had an AD during his reload. I have been around many Glocks during my RO/SO days and have never seen a Glock do this. Any thoughts on this? Thanks Arlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loneranger04 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Yep, he has been working on his trigger too much. Needs to go back to a factory trigger. Probably trying to shorten up his reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent #1911 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) Why wasn't he stopped?? this. if I am in the same squad, I would let the match director know about this. Edited December 9, 2012 by Agent #1911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBP55 Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I have seen a few from bad trigger work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlin Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 Flexmoney: He was stopped and the G34 removed from service. Agent1911: Match director was on the squad. The shooter was disqualified for unsafe gun handling. Others: I suspect the same problem with the trigger but for my own information like to know the reason behind the doubling. Thanks all for your comments. Arlin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBP55 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Arlin, There are several things that can cause a pistol to double. A trigger bar or firing pin improperly worked can cause one to double and make the pistol illegal. Some have a very light trigger and pull the trigger again during recoil which is a shooter issue.

dirty whiteboy Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 If you want a gun with a 1911 trigger, start with a 1911. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignantmike Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 my g34 has a factory "-" connector in it from the factory......when i shoot it and try to concentrate on shooting from the reset.....it doubled on me as well....i think i like the standard connector better.....p.s i dont shoot compitition...just range time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the connector will cause this. Did you do any work to the trigger bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom C Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) I was acting as an RO yesterday with a shooter with a Glock 34 open gun in 9mm minor. His gun would double each time he shot and actually had an AD during his reload. I have been around many Glocks during my RO/SO days and have never seen a Glock do this. Any thoughts on this? Thanks Arlin I raise my hand and admit to causing this problem in my glock (but I caught it during test fireing at the range and not at a match) The contact faces between the striker and trigger bar were worked to improve the fit (as from the factory the fit is not square). By over stoneing the contact points, the engagement between the striker and trigger bar is reduced to almost nill. The doubling is also commonly refered to as "bump fire" induced under recoil as there is insufficient contact between the two faces. My local Glock armorer replaced the parts I screwed up and stoned the faces to improve the contact. Hasn't been a problem since.

MrVvrroomm Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Could also be the firing pin safety plunger spring not seated correctly. This can cause stock Glock to double. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) I have seen this when there is improper engagement between the striker and the cruciform. Edited February 15, 2013 by ChrisC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rack&roll Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Too light a FPS plunger spring and too polished and or rounded FPSP can cause doubling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razerok1 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) If the edge of the connector that the trigger bar rolls on loses its shape from too much polishing and or messing with it it will cause the gun to fire when the trigger is pulled and when the trigger releases.... Making it seem like the gun is doubling.... However if you do not release the trigger it will only shoot once...
