TannerB Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Is the trigger spring partly responsible for this? I bent the bar that the trigger spring attaches to, and the gun works fine, shoots great, but if I release the the slide lock with the slide locked back the trigger does not always reset. Any suggestions? I think I may have the tab bent to far. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Trigger spring and bar, striker spring is what adds the strength to the reset. Recoil spring and connector play roles as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Tanner, I have learned a lot about the Glock trigger by studying this animation. It may NOT act like a hyperlink. If so "copy" and "paste" into your address bar and click Go or press enter. http://www.sniperworld.com/glock/loader_g17_ver_1_4.swf Very informative. If not, at least it's fun as heck. Changing the "visual controls" is cool. Jim M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atmar Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 if you're already using the lone wolf connector and you're still having reset problems then.....you bent it too far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TannerB Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 yup, I heated it back up and bent it back some, solved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmart Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Looks to me like the trigger spring acts as an opposing force during reset (use a lighter one and you'll get a stronger reset) and the striker spring is the main contributor, with the heavier springs providing the snappiest reset.

The trigger spring and striker spring always act as opposing forces. Stronger trigger spring = lighter pull (because it helps to pull the trigger) but also a weaker reset force. Stronger striker spring equals stronger reset force but also increased trigger pull. The secret is to get the right balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
