LowSpeedHighDrag Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 2 hours ago, BASE772 said: Off subject but to me the stock triggers on large frame Glocks feel better than the small frames. Could just be the larger grip I guess. That's my feeling too. My favorite Glock to shot is my G20, with downloaded ammo. Close behind is my G21. Maybe it's the larger frame, I dunno...

My G20 runs around 2 lb 4 oz, from the reset point. Not bad for a Glock. It has a Johnny Glock trigger in it. Nice, but I'd prefer the Timney...

davsco Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 ok, giving the timney a try in my zev oz9 lower and zi armory slide. have tried a handful of aftermarket triggers in this and they all suck (lotsa takeup and springy), hopefully this will be a lot better. i have an apex trigger in a gen 4 glock with zi slide and it's pretty nice, low takeup and crisp break, but can't duplicate this in the zev.

I'm on gun broker looking to pick up a second G34 in gen4 just so I can get a timney now. It's seriously an addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intheshaw1 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I have a 34.5 and 17.4, it's tempting but as long as they ship this month I'll be fine since it's still crappy out but it's warming up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had and have heard of others having issues with the 13# recoil spring in a 34.5. I think the issue is that the Gen 5 guide rod is a bit longer so the spring is less compressed. I switched to a 14# and my out of battery problems went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColloRosso Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Shot a steel match with the gen4 34 on 2/28 and was very pleased with the Timney trigger. No problems and took a few rounds to get used to how light it is. Tossed it in the safe afterwards and pulled it out today for some practice. After 200 rounds or so it started to not reset. The trigger pull was noticeably dragging. Split it apart and it was pretty carboned up. I installed the Timney with no lube and the match and this practice were shot using 147gr with 3.1gr of W231. No power factor for steel and these are very dirty loaded down that low. Cleaned and lubed the pistol after I got home and it's back to really slick, solid reset and the pull felt even lighter. It's now 2 1/2 pounds on my gauge. I guess I'll get in line for another for my gen5 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I've noticed that the Gen 5s are tighter when locking up. In my experience when coupled with a lighter recoil spring they're a little more likely to hang out of battery than Gen 1-4s.

tt350z Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) From another forum, here’s a stronger return spring for those that want that. Legs are a little longer so just cut the leg shorter so it doesnt gouge the barrel lug. https://www.mcmaster.com/9287K78/ Edited March 10, 2021 by tt350z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
