blackiechan Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Like the series 80 1911s people just remove it and some even pin down the grip safety also so the gun will just have one safety left. So anyone remove their glock safety plunger stuff for their game guns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2fishnshoot Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 i was at a gunshow a few weeks back and a gunsmith introduced me to the idea when i was looking for a spare connector. he told me he couldn't legally do it, but he could tell me how. he said it would drastically lighten the trigger pull. he didn't have one on display for me to check out either. I haven't tried it, and probably won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBP55 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Do Not remove the firing pin safety and make the pistol unsafe. Just install a lighter spring in the firing pin safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Not allowed per the rules. I have DQ'd a shooter for doing that already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polymer Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 As stated above, plus there is minimal difference in improvement in trigger quality with it removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackiechan Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 It's illegal in idpa, uspsa and ipsc? It's illegal for series 80 1911s to do it also? And what about the grip safety pinned down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBP55 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 That would be a question to ask in the 1911 forum as it does not apply to Glocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2fishnshoot Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'd rather keep all my safeties in tact and install different springs, zev or dk trigger groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtimelarry Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 You could buy one of Vanek's Safety Plunger. It's milled down a Bit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPetrowski Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Mark, just out of curiosity how did you even know the competitor even did it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton1 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I strongly recommend against doing this, although it does indeed improve trigger "feel". I do a lot of work with striker-fired guns of several different manufacturers. I have seen the lower lugs of the Firing Pin shear off. I have seen sear plates and sears break. If that happens with a working FPS in the gun, no harm/no foul. If it happens with no FPS present, it WILL fire the chambered round, especially in guns that hold the Firing Pin very near to full-cock when the trigger is not being pressed (M&P's and XD's immediately come to mind). If the gun is in the holster, you're getting a new butt dimple (and your girlfriend might not think it's "cute"....) Just saying...a nice trigger ain't worth the risk.

jcreid06 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 You can get a Glock trigger down to 2 to 2.5 pounds pretty easy with the plunger. Why make it unsafe by removing it? 2.5 lbs is plenty light for a comp gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3djedi Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) 1911's and glocks are different animals. 1911's have a spring in front of the firing pin. Glocks have the spring behind the firing pin driving the pin into the primer. If the firing pin lug slipped off the sear it would go full force into the primer without the safety plunger. I doubt the trigger would be much improved by removing the safety anyway. People do remove the safety plunger in tanfo witness guns sometimes but those have an external safety like a 1911.
