Can definitely tell the difference between it and the DK in my other guns. The DK is lighter and more crisp. Worried about light primer strikes with the lighter striker spring so I’m going to order the zev extended lightened striker. Might try the mod Jonny glock has in his video above when he talks about taking some metal off the downward leg of striker. Like the wider trigger shoe though in the zev. Just use a 4.5# Wolff striker spring with the factory firing pin. I don't think it's worth getting an aftermarket firing pin just to be able to maybe use a 4# spring. The difference in trigger pull weight between those springs isn't that much. Maybe I'm just cheap, but to me it's not worth getting the new firing pin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I’m not a big competition guy and just want to see how well I can make my Glock shoot without spending too much money. Springs from Wolff are $15 with shipping and I’ll see how it feels. I don’t even know if I can competently shoot a 2.5 pound trigger in a centerfire gun, so a full competition kit might not work for me. I really do appreciate everyone’s input on this. I’ll let you know how I progress. Regards, Jeff Completely understand. I started the same way :-). Its like a sickness lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is different which is why I have different options for different kits :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepdog566 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Still haven’t shot my zev but thought it was ready to go, all worked fine...just picked it up and now it is firing on reset. Pin the trigger back, cycle the slide, and striker drops when I release the trigger. Stock striker with zev trigger and springs....should of ordered a dk and I wouldn’t of had this problem.

SWHlctx Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I've got 6 DK triggers. I have 4 competiton kit triggers and 2 defensive kit triggers. I've shot thousands of rounds in competition with the DK trigger and never once had an issue with any of them. In my opinion they are the best trigger on the market. I should be on a commission basis. I know 3 people that have bought one from him based on trying out my G34 with the competiton kit trigger. I'm just waiting on the Get 5 version to install in a new G17 Gen 5. If Dan would quit screwing around working another job, I'd probably have one by now, lol.

touji Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I've been shooting a DK Trigger kit I bought on the forums for a couple of months now and I've been enjoying it very much. On thing I've noticed on mine is that the trigger safety tab doesn't always 100% reset on mine if I'm riding the reset with my trigger finger. Not sure if the safety tab spring has gone bad or if my spring combination is bad. Does anyone have any thoughts on what could cause this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 If your kit has the 6 lb trigger spring put back in the oem, that usually fixes that. Not all glocks can run the 6 lb trigger spring. If that don’t work you’ll have to remove the tab from the trigger and reshape. It’s not that easy to do but it can be done without hurting the trigger.

Thanks for the reply! I'm actually running the OEM trigger spring since I couldn't get the safety to reset even if I let the trigger fully reset without any resistance using the one provided. I've got some Ghost trigger springs laying around, so maybe I'll give those a try as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 The next thing to try is a heavier striker spring. I had a buddy just a few nights ago whose trigger would not reset with a oem trigger spring and a 4.5 striker spring. We put back the oem 5.5 striker spring and it worked perfect. At the time I didn’t think to try a 5 lb but I will next time I see him and have the gun. Those two springs work in conjunction with each other and if they are off your trigger won’t reset correctly. If that don’t work I guess call DK triggers and run it by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mktt89 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Reponse seems to be very slow..... Triggers are good but each runs little different. I have three of them and one is very good other two are ok. I would give him a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskinsler83 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Sorry you are having issues. You may return the lower trigger parts and I can go through it and see what the problem is. Unfortunately this is a coming issue w/ most glock triggers as there is nothing but a formed plastic tab that is the return spring for the trigger safety and over much use it just wears down and settles flatter. Responses are slow due to many things that are going on around here with my primary jobs and family life but I eventually get to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the 2017 season winding down, I'm not too pressed for time. I understand that the return spring for the trigger safety is definitely a part that wears down faster, and I do appreciate the response and the offer. I may take the opportunity to mess with the lower trigger as a DIY learning opportunity and buy another trigger bar set from your website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Go over to you tube and search for Johnny glock. He has a video about removing the safety tab and reshaping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPmanperfection34 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Hi Everyone, I see this is an older thread, but I was thinking about Johnny Glocks video, and talking about removing small amounts of frame material. Now how many guys will shoot a several thousand rounds before doing any work to their Glock? And what kind of life can you except out of as glock? 30 -40k rounds????

Ethanolguy Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 DK is great. You can get the whole kit, or just the adjustable bar and put in your own connector, etc. I would recommend his product Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
