ryucasta Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 Roby, About a year ago Jojo Vidanes brother was developing a trigger for the XD you might want to contact him. Here's the link with the contact information. http://jvdynamics.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber1 Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 After reading about everyones experience with this trigger I finally got to handle one this weekend at a local match. Needless to say, my glock is making it's journey to get a replacement trigger. Impressed would be a definite understatement of how I felt about this trigger. I can hardly wait for the Fed Ex guy to appear on my door step. Allen Webb-Instructor Tactical Response LLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber1 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Got the 35 in the mail yesterday. I got to take it to the range this afternoon. I can not believe the difference compared to the 3.5 connector that was in it. It was like night and day. Thanks again to Charlie.

Theo Carter Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I need a little help. I want a trigger done by Charlie but how do I go about sending it to him? Do I just go to Fed Ex and send it off and if that works what do I us as a return address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 ok, here's the secret.. www.vanekcustom.com next week you have to wear the funny hat and learn the secret handshake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driver8M3 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 fed-ex it directly to charlie...he will give you the address. once completed, he will return the gun to you via fed-ex. he can send it to your home, or as he did for me, have it held at a fed-ex office for pick-up. in that case, use the address of the fed-ex office with a "hold for pick-up" line added. it must be signed for, so if you wont be home, have it held at a fed-ex office for pick-up.

GRW Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Any know if Charlie is still doing trigger jobs? I've notice his web site is gone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lndshrk Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Charlie was kind enough to answer my questions as follows: "I talked to a FFL last night and most likely will be back in business in a couple of weeks, but I'm going to start with customers that have been waiting patiently for me and I have "several" lined up now." I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkS_A18138 Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Hope he gets back to doing killer trigger jobs. I have a 34 with his trigger and it's awesome. Thanks Charlie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeorgeInNePa Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I just got my G34 back from Charlie. After reading here about his work, I needed to try his trigger. All I can is is DAMN! This is fantastic. I am going to take it to the range tomorrow to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driver8M3 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 shoot it for a month and it just seems normal. then try a normal glock trigger again... after i had my vanek trigger for a while, my frame rail broke in the middle (well actually on the 1st shot) of a match. another shooter was kind enough to let me shoot his glock, which had a regular trigger. you should have seen me standing there trying to pull the trigger the 1st time with the borrowed gun...MUCH heavier than charlie's.

Kevin Kline Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Charlie, Do you need the whole gun or just the frame? Also, what's your turn around about now. If I have it done, I want to make sure to have it back before Fl Open. Otherwise, I'll wait till after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zerwas Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Is this trigger "legal" in USPSA production and IDPA SSP and ESP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Whole gun. Legal in USPSA Production, don't know (or care, really) about IDPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shipped it out the evening of the 26th, Wednesday. I got it back the morning of the 1st, Tuesday. Six days including shipping both ways. Can't ask for much more.

SRT Driver Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 TRP-Pro, Charlie's trigger is legal for Production. IDPA..probably but if Bill doesn't like it since he doesn't market it , Charlie sends back the original parts which are IDPA legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precision40 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I took an RO class last weekend in Springdale, AR and while there, I dropped off my G34 with Charlie. All I can say about his trigger jobs is that they are just incredible. Mine turned out being a 1.5# first shot pull and subsequent pulls are also 1.5# I'd say that the pre-travel and reset are about the same as stock, but the pull is smooth, super-light and consistent the entire stroke, there is no hard break as the striker lets go. Plus Charlie is the nicest guy you'll ever meet. We B.S'd for nearly a half-hour when I dropped it off and picked it up. Worth every cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric nielsen Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Part of an email I sent to Kevin -- "turn-around is 24hrs MAX plus the time to ship FedEx, which I admit is expensive. Just shot for the first time in 6 months & I'll tell you - with recoil and blast I can't trust myself to prep the trigger at all, not even touch the trigger. Slap all the way and reset till my fingernail hits the trigger guard. It's different. And extremely helpful for all-around "practical" accuracy. The surprise break is like COMPLETE surprise. Where in dryfire I can feel all the contact points, while shooting its just nothing between starting to move my finger and Bang." PS - beware of trying to slowly reset the Vanek trigger [live ammo] because any little twitch or movement of the gun can lead to an unintentional follow-up shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
