Boyd Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 (edited) I inherited a G35 from a dear friend. He'd modified the trigger bar, including relocating the trigger bar higher on the trigger itself (moved the pin up), shortening the trigger return spring portion of the trigger bar (he drilled a new hole above the existing hole so that the trigger return spring rides more level, relative to the rest of the gun) and blended down the firing pin "hump" on the trigger bar to accomodate the new higher position of the trigger bar. He also modified the striker "foot" by tapering the sides so that it basically forms a "V" (to reduce drag as one pulls the trigger) Finally, he placed some epoxy in the frame to act as a trigger stop. My friend, Ron Durham, loved Glocks and made a study of all the modifications out there. The gun had a really good light crisp trigger, but was not IDPA SSP or USPSA Production legal. I recently experimented with bending the trigger return spring tab forward slightly. The gun then started firing in strings when I RELEASED the trigger (very unnerving). I bent it back, but the problem still persists. Here's my question: I've got a ton of stock trigger assemblies (also inherited from Ron). I want to know who makes the best Production/SSP legal trigger out there. Thanks -MB Edited December 24, 2007 by Boyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoMiE Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I have Vanek and Sotello trigger kit you can try. I like the Vanek much better. I also love my SJC trigger job, but it is not production/ssp legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexor40cal Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 You have got to try a John Nagel Glock trigger job See http://www.glockjockey.com/index.html He can make it just as you want it, sweet is the best description Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexor40cal Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 http://www.glockjockey.com/index.html is John Nagel and is also SJC Custom, they are all the same.......... Also he does production legal trigger jobs, not everything he does is for his open guns, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamann Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 For a drop in production legal trigger, i have and prefer Charlie Vaneks trigger. Fitted is a whole other story, and you would have to ship your gun off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA Friday Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I love to tinker with my guns, but there seems to have been a rash of trigger overmodification questions lately here on BE. I'm not banging on anyone specific, but there really is NO substitute for dry-fire and live-fire practice. Secondly, a little heavier trigger allows for trigger prep sooner without ADing, and is more reliable in the long run. A vanek drop-in, Sotelo, or .25 cent trigger jobs will all get anyone to the place where they are competitive on a GM level. There is just no reason to complicate a trigger job on a Glock. BTW, my STI has a 3 lb trigger, and I can shoot .15 to .2 splits with it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing stated in that post that I don't agree 100% with. There is NO SUBSTITUTE for practice. Look at the top Production shooters at your club matches and see where they come out when you combine the scores with the other divisions. That being said, Mr. Vanek does the best trigger work IMHO.

Aircooled6racer Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hello: Read the article JoeD did on the trigger then decide if you can do it yourself. If not buy a trigger kit or just change the connector and striker spring and shoot it. Hope this helps. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoMiE Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 If this is the Boyd I think it is, he is already a GM/M shooter. I think he is just looking for what's available or what's out there in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayouSlide Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Another vote for Charlie Vanek's trigger...spend the bucks and get back to shootin' with no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe D Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 This post brings back some memories. I had become good friends with Ron over the internet. He and I shared a lot of Glock info. I sure have lost a lot of good shooting friends over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 (edited) +1 on Homie's comment, MB has forgotten more about competition shooting that most people will ever have the chance to experience or learn. He has taught me a LOT about how shooting should be done on many levels. The trigger on this gun was one of the best I'd seen on a Glock. If you need ANY Glock parts until you get your new trigger assembly, just let me know. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Demetrio Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Hey, folks, Is any of the Vanek triggers legal for IPSC Production division? In other words, is any of them prepped with factory (OFM) parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberkid Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Sotelo kits are still available for less money than anything else, are production legal, and have been shot to the GM level and come with the best warranty you can buy. Just a comparison...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a comparison...... They are not legal for IPSC Production division, just like all other trigger kits that reduce trigger weight. They are legal for Standard Division.

Paul Burtchell Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 (edited) I think sometimes folks misuse IPSC when they really mean USPSA. Oh, I see Demetrio is from Brazil. My bad... Charlie's triggers are the very best money can buy for a GLOCK. That's my opinion of course. Edited December 25, 2007 by baerburtchell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
