steel1212 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) I got one of these black things today with a way longer trigger than my prestigious 1911s No I'm not a glock hater just picking as I got picked on majorly for shooting 1911s today at the glock match practise....they said I could shoot in the "other" class basically for trigger time. Anyway, I've had 2 of these before and traded/sold them now I have another so I could shoot in the state GSSF match. Is there a trigger job I can do myself that would shorten the travel/pull? Thanks Edited July 29, 2006 by steel1212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBF Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 A trigger kit from WWW.TriggerKits.com and a Vanek trigger housing with takeup and overtravel screws is pretty slick. Not fine tuned 1911 slick , but pretty damn good . If Charlie Vanek has his new drop in trigger kits ( they come with the housing ) , I'm sure one of those would be slick too. Travis F.

Those 2 sounds like the way to go. Would a glock newbie be able to install these parts. If they have good instructions I have basic tools. Also, with the takeup and overtravel screws how much of the travel can you take up, some, all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Knight Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) punch 2 pins, 3 on some models, and everything comes out! I don't know anything else about the trigger kit screws or gadgets. I use stock Glock parts to stay as close to production as I can. Edited July 30, 2006 by theknightoflight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwmiket Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Charlie Vanek now has a drop in kit available also, and does outstanding work. He'd be glad to answer any questions you may have, and I HIGHLY recommend his stuff. Give him a call or drop him an email for more details. Ralph's trigger kit is indeed nice also, so you've got options. Check them out. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 Ok before I do anything to this trigger, would modification of this sort make it GSSF illegal? I mean I shoot my 1911s in IPSC and IDPA so I just wanted another weekend of fun so the GSSF is the main reason I got this gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Knight Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) Glock stock parts only for GSSF. E-mail the various makers to see. Edited July 30, 2006 by theknightoflight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, with the takeup and overtravel screws how much of the travel can you take up, some, all? The two kits I installed dropped in fine , take it apart and reassemble with the new parts. No filing, grinding, or bending required . Stock parts remain intact for reinstallation or as spares for experiments. Adjustment wise I was able to remove some of the pretravel and most of the overtravel. Removing too much pretravel won't let the trigger safety move forward and engage. Removing too much overtravel will cause the striker to hit the internal safety plunger , and give light strikes. Both are just a matter of twisting allen screws. Get one of those orange plates that replaces the stock one at the back of the slide , or grind an old one off a little to use while adjusting stuff , it's alot easier when you can see the parts and reach in and release the striker with a small screwdriver when you adjust a little too much.

Flexmoney Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I don't believe you can modify any parts...nor use non Glock parts...for GSSF. You can polish them up though, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Vanek Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 If you're going to shoot Am/Civ Division; the only thing you can do is clean the trigger up and use a Glock 3.5 connector. No aftermarket parts and no cutting springs to lighten up the trigger pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
