Fireant Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I picked up my new (to me) Edge today and put about 200 rounds through it. OH MY GOD! That's how a trigger should feel? Now I wonder why someone at a local club didn't put one in my hand to shoot a year ago instead of just look and say "oh you have a Glock" then snicker. Now the questions will be coming. Like how many thousand times will I have to practice drawing and flicking the thumb safety off so I won't look all surprised in a match when nothing happens when I pull the trigger? Is there a web page with a picture of a dissassembled edge that has all the parts labled? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tightloop Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Fireant I know what you mean. I have had my new STI in the vault waiting on some leather from Benos to get here. Mine is a long, wide in .40 to shoot Limited. I get excited just dryfiring it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireant Posted December 13, 2003 Author Share Posted December 13, 2003 The same here. I got a used CR Speed holster with mine so I've already been dryfiring and drawing in the livingroom. All my wife can do is walk by, laugh, and mumble something about how sad I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4045 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I got my "new to me" Edge a few months ago. I had to put my Glock 35 away. I like the trigger much better on the Edge. I went up a class as soon as I shot it in a match. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue edge Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I saved some money when I bought my EDGE, because I bypassed the Glock! Maybe someday I will buy one, A Glock that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the duck of death Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 You gents need to learn how to work on a Glock trigger (not difficult to do). I shoot a G23 with KKM barrel in IDPA/USPSA while my 8 1911s (including a SVI Infinity 40SW) gather dust. Why, you ask; because for the last 1 1/2 years and 20K rounds I haven't had one malfunction of any kind. The trigger on the G isn't as good as the 1911s but it's very close. If your interested here's what I do: I polished thru the plating to get really smooth surfaces. Install a lighter striker spring and a heavier trigger spring. Polish the cruciform sear (do not change the angle or round the sharp upper edge), under the cruciform where it contacts the connector, the connector, the firing pin safety (clip off 2 coils of the firing pin safety spring) and polish the trigger bar where it contacts the firing pin safety, polish the part of the cruciform that is the drop safety. Grind the striker arm on the left side at a 45 degree angle and polish the striker where it contacts the cruciform sear. Polish the striker at the back flats and in the front where it will make contact with the channel liner. See: <http://www.sportshooter.com/gssf/dalerhea_dremeling.htm> Scroll to Trigger Group then Modifying the Srtiker. PS: I've tuned all of my 1911's trigger to 2 lbs.

Duane Thomas Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Like how many thousand times will I have to practice drawing and flicking the thumb safety off so I won't look all surprised in a match when nothing happens when I pull the trigger? According to exercise physiologists, it requires from 3,000 to 5,000 correct repetitions of a particular movement before it becomes an unconscious reaction. I'd suggest adopting the "IPSC grip" with straight thumbs. One of the very nice things about this technique is that it rides the master hand thumb on top of the thumb safety so there's no danger of forgetting to flip it off. The safety simply comes off when the two hands meet, with no need for a separate, conscious movement on the shooter's part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireant Posted December 14, 2003 Author Share Posted December 14, 2003 Duane, Is there any where I can see pictures or a video clip of that grip? Thanks for the advice. I'll try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tightloop Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 DoD regarding learning to work on a Glock trigger, I don't think so. Life is too short to hunt with an ugly dog and try to get a good trigger on a Glock. My opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasag93 Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Life is to short to take a step backward in the shooting sport and try to compete with a Glock in Limited. TXAG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 YAWN... Are you guys still spewing that anti-Glock propaganda??? Wake me when you are done. Fireant...congratulations on your new blaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireant Posted December 15, 2003 Author Share Posted December 15, 2003 Thanks Flex. I'm not in the anti Glock group. I'll just use it for production now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the duck of death Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Yeah, I know I resisted the Glock for years. Finally got one a year ago to see what all the uproar was about and now it's all I shoot. Maybe you should do what I did, get one and shoot it BEFORE critiquing it.
