Baron85 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I would like to replace my trigger on my gen 3 19 and gen 5 17 for something with a longer reach. I have Xl-xxl hands and would like the trigger to be farther forward and break farther forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwards30 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Sorry, I’m not aware of any of that due to the Glock design. Maybe reach out to Johnny Glock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tt350z Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) The connector will affect reach as well. If the bent tab where the trigger bar contacts the connector is lower, it will have a more trigger forward position when it breaks. Higher will be the opposite. I noticed my Zev connector has a more forward set than others. Edited April 6, 2021 by tt350z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Hello, you can add more to the backstrap to give you a longer reach. The Gen 5 will be easy but the gen 3 will need some work. I have xxl hands and I don't even add a grip module to my Gen 5's. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron85 Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Thanks for the replies. I’m using the largest blackstrap on my gen 5 and on the gen 3 I’m running one of the rubber grip sleeves. Both help and are probably good enough I just feel if I could get a little bit longer reach it would feel more natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton1 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Eric would probably be the one to know, but do the "straight" triggers, such as those offered by Apex, et. al., increase the reach? I haven't played with them, as I am so used to OEM that I'm a-feared to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Hello, if you already have the sleeve or can get bicycle inner tubes you can make a sleeve to fit the grip. You can use a plastic milk jug to make spacers to go under the rubber sleeve till you get the reach you are looking for. Try adding spacers to the strong hand side of the grip also since this will move your hand out and may give you the reach you are looking for.

Aircooled6racer Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Hello, the Apex I have on my G34 gen 3 is about the same as a stock trigger. It is a slightly curved one. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
