vnboileau Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I've tried some that are lighter, but also mushier... Just wondering what the crispest setup would be, but would also get me to 3-4# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covfefe Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I’ve tried a bunch of connectors, polished everything and installed $230 zev Tech ultimate kits. At the end of the day, that system is generally going to be a zero sum game between trigger weight and “crispness”. Maybe Johnny Glock can build you a 2.5# trigger but you start to defeat internal safeties and your cost in the gun is the same as a used Edge. I am a glock fan and own lots of them but gave up on them for limited because the 2011 platform is superior in every way except cost IMO (higher frame weight, lower slide weight, trigger pulls back rather than on fulcrum, etc).

jeffte283 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Johnnyglocks trigger is the crispiest ive tried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtturn Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I modified a dot connector that yielded a pretty crisp break.Lone Wolf 3.5 is pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galt11 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I went down this road a few years ago and tried a bunch of different connectors and spring kits and ended up liking the Taran Tactical kit the most. You still have some take up in the beginning, but the reset and crispness was worth it. With the new runs allowing full on trigger kits now, that might change things but I would try the TTI kit.

sigsauerfan Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 i'm a fan of the zev units....BUUUT, they still need some work to extract the best out of em.....with the complete ultimate trigger kit, i'm getting a very crisp 2.1lbs trigger break, and not a rolling break. more like a glass.....and no, it is not true that at this point the safeties aren't working anymore. mine are intact,on the three limited glocks i own and use at the games.

My zev ultimates were never better than 4.5lbs and I re-polished it all myself. i won't go into fine details, but to achieve a sub 3lbs trigger break with zev's system you need to reshape the striker leg and trigger bar tab (the part of the bar rubbing against the connector). your 4.5 trigger seems high to me as polishing alone should drives you into the mid 3lbs range ,this assuming you have the comp spring kit installed. you might want to consider that guys like johny glock and Daniel from DK trigger can get you the same kind of light trigger with stock parts with different springs . me i went the ZEV way because their V4 connector and striker. the rest of the system is only cosmetic, yet, i like the feel of the larger trigger surface of the zev unit.

lefty o Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 pretty much concur with the above. sub #3 with a zev v4 connector and a trigger spring is very easy. have one set up with a zev trigger and a v4 connector, and a lot of work on it at #2 even and crisp. everything works, and it will bust cci primers 100%.

vnboileau Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) I've got a DK trigger and really like the feel. I'd buy another, but I don't think he's still doing triggers. And I've shot a Zev trigger, but I wouldn't really call it crisp feeling. Edit: nevermind, I guess DK is still in business Edited March 10, 2018 by vnboileau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 crisp and light takes work. dont know if anyone makes a drop in that does both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you guys have had better luck. I have zev ultimate kits in my glock 17, 21, 34 and 35. All were polished once again for good measure. My lyman trigger gauge says the 17 is the lightest at 4.1#.

rooster Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Crispness, light and other terms are all subjective. Also tried all the various aftermarket connectors. After polishing everything and without changing any springs the angle on the connector that drives the trigger bar down determines the break. The stock 5 lb connector is the more pronounced feel. You have a distinct wall and a nice break because of the angle. Put in a minus or any other connector the angle is more of a gentle slope. The wall is not as pronounced and the break is longer because of the slope. I had a TTI connector that the trigger was almost to the frame before it broke. Now, of course you can start changing things by lighter springs, removing take up, adding set screws to shorten overtravel, the list goes on. This is what makes the glock so nice, you can tune to your own individual needs. If I was going to get a trigger exactly like I wanted I would have to go with Johnny Glock. That guy can do magic with a Glock trigger. Just check out his you tube videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlewing6283 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I have the ghost kit right now. I tried a buddy who has the DK triggers and it is very nice. Curious to try Vanek triggers myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigsauerfan Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 remember that the companies who builds complete trigger systems for glocks are trap'ed with liability , even if it is stipulated that they're not responsible regarding the failure that could result into someone getting wounded for whatever reasons implying one of their units. that is the only reason as the why they don't provides triggers tuned to the fine edge. however, the glock trigger system has some room left for a lower weight break and good feel ,but you must know what to do,and on what parts of the system. at one point,yes you must reshape some profiles,and yes, you must remove some material instead of only polishing IF one wants to extract 100% of the system. i've myself ruined perfect trigger bars in the process, then at one point in the trial fail-sucess,you can identify where the gains can be made.

Tyrsman Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Call Johnny Glock and talk to him about what you want your trigger to feel like. He will let you know if he can build it or not. Great guy to deal with and builds a great trigger too. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igolfat8 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Stock trigger spring will give you a crisper reset than the optional 6# trigger spring. I like the LW connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty4087 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I’m very happy with the crispness or perceived wall with my Johnny Glock as well with a trigger pull averaging around 3.5# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
