Malarky112 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) Grabbed a 43x late June. I usually clean them 1st but went right to range from gun store, put about 100 rounds thru it including some SD ammo. Worked great. Next week, heading to range again. Pull it apart intending to clean it but it looked pretty good, had lots of stock Glock lube still on it. Gave it a quick wipe and off I went. Got thru about 35 rounds and trigger didn’t reset. Pull slide back 1/2” and trigger resets. Keep going and it happened about 8 times out of 100 rounds. I made sure my finger was pulling off trigger every time, not that it should matter. Slide gets hotter than any of my other glocks as well. (others are all gen4). As this is intended to be my carry gun, I’m concerned. Figure I better clean the factory gunk out, maybe there was some shavings stuck inside. After a good clean and lube, I’m back to the range today. Out of 100 rounds, it fails to reset the trigger once. Pull slide back just a little, and it resets. Much better, but still one too many for my carry gun. I compare the internals to my buddies 43 and everything looks the same. Only difference is my trigger bar seems to drag on the plastic frame a bit more than his. Mine is made in Austria, his is a US made. ive searched the web and everything that pops up regarding this is in aftermarket triggers or when somebody has messed around with the internals. Mine is untouched. Im not new to glocks, have around 20,000 rounds between my 34 and 19. I’ve had them completely apart to clean/modify. The gen 5 is a bit different but basic mechanics of them are the same. I don’t see anything out of sorts. Any ideas? Should I just send it back to Glock? Anyone else experience this?

Southpaw Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Is the trigger bar under the trigger spring bearing, like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooster Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Is the connector adjusted properly? The cam on the slide must push the connector hook over enough to let the trigger bar pop up so it can engage the firing pin lug. You should be able to slip a piece of paper between the connector and trigger housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethdaniel05 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Maybe your engagement between striker and cruciform is too little. I’ve had to bend the cruciform on some trigger bars before to get them in a the sweet spot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tha1000 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Send it to Glock. They are pretty good with warranty issues in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverscooby27 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Yeah. I’d send it back too. Totally unacceptable for a carry gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Absolutely send it back or contact your local Glock rep. Issues like that are so rare with Glock, they need to know and will correct the issue quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton1 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 The guys in Warranty Repair in Smyrna are not too backed up, so turnaround time should be acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarky112 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Thanks guys....I've been running it trying to recreate the issue, and it hasn't happened again. I'll probably still send it back though. I've never had an issue like this with any of my glocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malarky112 Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Update: I did end up sending it back to Glock. They were great to deal with and it was only 11 days from the day I shipped it to the day I had it back In my hands. Work order says they replaced the trigger and bar. Looking closely there is def a visible difference between the original and the new one. The forward extension of cruciform sear plate is now tapered. I’m guessing it’s an updated part. I’ll test fire it later this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itai Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I'm having the exact same issue, with my brand new 43x, I can't believe I'm in this situation not what I expected from Glock. Hoping the store I bought it in will replace it with a new one, had it for 1 week, fired some 250 rounds , triger reset failure around 6 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard it was an updated part so I’d be surprised a newly manufactured one was having issues. I doubt the gs will take it back, but Glock customer service was very good. I would contact them.

Braxton1 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 One of the best ways to identify a current-production Trigger Bar for the G-43/43X/48 is to look for a chamfer on the rear of the Vertical Extension. New ones have it; old ones don't. That isn't the only change; just the easiest to see without a full disassembly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P226X5fan Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Seems the 33363 text is smaller on the new trigger bar as well, can anyone else confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read thru the posts you’ll see but basically they replaced the trigger bar with an updated part. If you’ve had no issues I’m not sure I’d worry about it.

Runnin2live Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I did pick up a 43x Saturday and dropped the slide before I bought. It came with the new trigger bar. I haven’t shot it yet, but I will soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
