Chriss Grube Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Have to give Charlie a thumbs up on the trigger. I broke down and bought a 34 last week. Shipped it directly to Charlie on Thurs. He got it Fri. and shipped it back out on Mon. Fed Ex just dropped it off. WOW! I don't have a trigger pull gauge but it is probably 1.5-1.75 lbs. Great service and turn around time. And before all you plastic lovers (NIK AND FLEX) start, with this trigger job it probably doesn't qualify as a real Glock so I can shoot it without catching crap from you 2! If you must shoot a Glock then you have to at least get a real trigger job in it from Charlie. It isn't a 2011 but pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Chriss, wow! I guess the old saw about old dogs and new tricks still holds up....... Time to occasionally play in Production? Or is a dot next? Either way, enjoy the new toy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Kline Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Well, Sent my gun to Charlie on Monday and he got it Tuesday. He did the trigger job and got it back out Wednesday. Expecting it tomorrow. Cant wait, Ive heard great things about this trigger and cant wait to try it. Charlie was great to deal with, super nice guy.

Kevin Kline Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Well, Fedex showed up at the door today at 930am and had the gun. I took it out and like everybody else said, WOW. Nice trigger. Now I understand how everyone described it. I did a trigger job once on a Glock of mine about 3 years ago and it was as light as this, but not as smooth ALL the way through the pull, especially at the break. It is very smooth and the break is so smooth of a let off, it almost kind of goes off on its own. The pre travel is a little bit shorter than before and the reset is the same, but the smoothness with the entire pull, beginning to end is excellent. Thanks again Charlie, Now I cant wait to shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhunter Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 YEP, sounds the same as mine that I got last week! Makes a Glock trigger nearly normal! I love mine, thanks Charlie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precision40 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 So far I have roughly 3000 rounds on my Vanek trigger and it's settled down to 2lbs. I had some light strikes with Winchesters, but I suspect I didn't get them fully seated (just flush) I use Blazers exclusively for practice and it never fails to set them off.

ryucasta Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 Let's see +60K rounds on a G34 and +75K on a G35 and still going strong. Vanek has the Eveready Bunny of triggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgj1119 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 is it reliable shooting factory personel defense loads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryucasta Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 KGJ1119, Yes it is reliable firing factory PD loads. I currently am using a couple of my Vanek triggers with loads (9x19 Major) that use small rifle primers and it goes bang everytime a press the trigger.

chp5 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 is it reliable shooting factory personel defense loads? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would NEVER use a reduced power striker spring in a self-defense pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Cy, do you know that Vanek uses a reduced power striker spring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 The trigger pull weight depends on a lot of things. 1. Brand and type of connector. 2. Nose profile of trigger bar. 3. Pivot hole position on trigger bar and trigger itself. 4. Weight of striker spring. One can get a Glock trigger under 1 lb. with the right combination.

Joe D Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Cy, I promise to be back in Atlanta soon to fix your trigger. I will bring several bars and connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chp5 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Cy, do you know that Vanek uses a reduced power striker spring? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes - the one that Charlie did for me used a reduced spring. That's fine for competition, but I'd think twice about it for a self-defense gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryucasta Posted April 24, 2005 Author Share Posted April 24, 2005 CHP, I can understand your concerns about using the Vanek trigger in a CCW/Carry gun since some might consider 1.5# trigger to light for carry. I myself though have no qualms about using a 1.5 trigger for carry since the Vanek triggers have never failed to work for me after 10's of thousands of rounds fired in IDPA and USPSA competition. After all none of us on this forum work for the DEA... http://www.firearmscoalition.org/multimedia/footshot.wmv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do believe in Charlie's triggers, I don't believe in reduced power striker springs. I don't even use them in my competition guns. However, I realize I'm in the minority. Triggers are like women - each guy sees something different in them . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
