Red Ryder Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Will a Glockworx titanium plunger and spring make any difference how the trigger feels on my G17 (already has a 25cent trigger job with a 3.5lb connector)??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef J Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Very minimal difference IMHO. You can get a similar feel from just buffing and rounding the chamfer on your stock plunger then replacing with a lighter spring. You may have already done this as part of your $0.25 though.

rjstubbl Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I put one in my gen 4 G34 and couldn't tell the difference between that and a polished stock plunger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerguy Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 No, plain and simple. polishing it will and you already did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shovel_doctor Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I also bought the titanium one and could not tell a difference as apposed to a polished stock one. Waste of money in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin c Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 What is the supposed advantage to using a titanium plunger? I've heard that light FP's and strikers are supposed to benefit from the low mass as far as lock time goes, but that wouldn't apply to the plunger. Or is it that the plunger is coated with titanium nitride and is slicker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heshin Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Don't get one. Just polish the stock one and add a light weight spring. I tried two of them and both actually got pretty chewed up in the sides after a thousand rounds or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vluc Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 It is more than just the polishing of the part, it is the rounding of the ledge that allows for the smoother break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Ryder Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 It is installed. I truly can't tell a difference, but maybe, I ,am not "tuned in" enough to feel the difference. Some Zen thing maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilD Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I tried two of them and both actually got pretty chewed up in the sides after a thousand rounds or so.X2 I tried one years ago and had the same experience. I have the Zev stainless one provided with the Fulcrum kit in a pistol and have not seen the same issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilD Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I only see the titanium one on their web site, so you may want to contact them and ask if they sell the stainless separately Although polishing the factory will pretty much achieve the same result I'd of thought.

Heshin Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Thanks, as Vluc pointed out, the rounding of edges is the hard part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyro Shooter Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Glockworx has both the Titanium and the Stainless Steel for the small frames in stock. the Titanium FPS are Gold TiN coated and the Stainless are Electro polished. it is important to make sure the channel for the firing pin safety is really clean prior to reassembly, other wise it will drag the trigger pull up a pound or two. oh and to make sure the little spring is not inserted side ways.

daves_not_here Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I also installed that little spring sideways. The trigger felt gritty on takeup. Drove me nuts till I figured it out. Another long story. I think one of the few things you can botch up on a glock and it isn't obvious. Best thing I ever did for my glock trigger was a revolver. Now I have a feel for takeup, striker compression and reset. Installing a revo finger on a glock works just great! Glock resets are more forgiving than a revolver. I even got mine titanium-nitrided so I don't split a nail. DNH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ryder Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Trick is to put a little grease or slide guide on the botton of the plunger, insert spring, and then drop into channel. This keeps to spring from ending up sideways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro-Pain Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 One way to polish the plunger is put the actual plunger in a power drill (like a drill bit) with an even sabot around it (for when you tighten the power drill head) and run that along a piece of sandpaper, instead of vice versa.. That being said, the titanium is "lighter" metal, but a part that small isn't all that noticeable. it can also be more durable, but i don't think I've ever seen a plunger wear out... The lighter spring will help on the upswing of the trigger, but with all the other mechanics going on inside there I think it gets washed out in the long run IMO, if I was redoing my g34, I'd keep it stock except for a lightweight/Ti striker and lightened spring, +pound trigger spring, $0.30 trigger job (inflation), and minus connector..

Red Ryder Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 UPDATE: I installed a ZEV Tech Titanium Firing Pin Safety and shot approx 300 rounds. I tore the gun down and noticed that the upper base of this plunger safety was all chewed up. I removed it and put the stock Glock one back in. I also cleaned a few chunks of Titanium out of the firing pin channel. What a complete waste of Money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.roberts Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I've also gone back to the rounded factory plunger. Didn't like how chewed up the Ti one was getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ryder Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 I sent ZEV Tech an email requesting a stainless steel version or a refund. I will share how they respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ryder Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 I have to say that I was VERY pleased with the response from Tim at Glockworx about my Titanium plunger experience. He was very informative and fair. Thank you very much Tim! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
