After 500 rounds this trigger is smooth as hell.. new it feels nice but I have about 1000 rounds on mine and it's absolute butter now

[@YouStupidBunny]

Just received my Glock Performance Trigger to replace my Timney Alpha, which I liked, but didn't love. Timney had a great idea, but was limited by having to fit within the stock trigger housing. The GPT feels much better, safer, and near perfect with a minus connector, and a lighter striker and plunger spring.

[@jcapp1698]

I agree the timney is lacking. I had failure to reset a few times I decided to take it out.

[@tacticalpontoon]

It is extremely common with them

[@anthonyortiz4538]

I had a timney in my scorpion what a shit show

[@dgilly716]

Thoughts on this one vs the pyramid 2.0 trigger? Also any experience with just using a double diamond 3.5 connector?

[@tacticalpontoon]

You need to check out the TacticalPontoon Heisenberg system

[@everybodystaycalm5090]

I just got this trigger and was wondering if you seen any issues with the sear dropping down and releasing the striker, the small hook on top is not enough to hold it in place.

[@tacticalpontoon]

The small hook? Tell you what, shoot me an email at [e-mail] Did you change the trigger shoe or anything

[@InGratitudeIam]

Just change the connector to a "+" and you'll get a crisp break and short reset.

[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

I had just installed the Overwatch Precision TAC Trigger bar & shoe for my G19X. It's great with my Dagger upper installed but not so great with my stock 19x upper. I already have 1 of these in my cart & I'm about to buy. Johnny Glocks show a consistent 3lb pull without a reduced trigger spring kit, which I have. $100 beats $180 for the Timney

[@tacticalpontoon]

It is better than Timney in every possible way

[@jesuriah]

Glocks do not have uppers

[@tacticalpontoon]

@@jesuriah thanks

[@johnp9402]

The Timney is pretty iffy depending on the frame and slide tolerances. I would describe it as super light but kinda weird

[@tacticalpontoon]

With a weak reset at the best of times. Had to replace many Timneys for people since they came out

[@triadnine6627]

I have installed these over recent days (my personal GPT is on the way). All of the base OEM safety features are totally intact despite the fact the striker is fully cocked. I'd have zero issues carrying with this trigger after my tests this last week. If there is a drawback it is the shape of the trigger shoe and the reset going so far forward (as a result of that geometry) which for me is like the Apex trigger. Johnny Glock has tested and certified his VEX shoe will work with the GPT and can be fully adjusted for reducing takeup. I'm good on the guts of this trigger, just think it deserves an adjustable shoe designed and made by competent machinists/gunsmiths. And yes, Glock has tested the living hell out of this trigger, it will beat the Timney all day long on longevity and reliability.

I have one installed on my G34. This thing is the best Glock trigger I ever shot. No creep at all, but has the same reset, which does not bother me at all. Kind of feels like an SSA trigger with that carrot break.

[@jaicelemuelpamittan3687]

What G34 generation you got?

[@daveflash1758]

I have mine in my G34 and I feel the same the best striker fire trigger I’ve ever felt aftermarket or stock including the apex on the smith and Wesson m&p series and canik and Walther this is amazing

[@marktaylor3630]

I have 1 in my g19 its ok but it feels like it grabs when you fire and sometimes it sticks on reset I'm definitely buying it different trigger as soon as I have the 300 something to get a johnnh glocks trigger

[@tacticalpontoon]

You should look at one of my Heisenberg or Leonidas triggers before over spending elsewhere

[@terrytolentino5459]

200 rounds with crappy stock trigger; spent $100 for Glock upgrade: crappy trigger is okay trigger. At 900 rounds I changed back to the stock trigger and don't notice any difference with my G19 5.

[@wollsmoth69]

What do you think by far the best aftermarket Glock trigger is?

[@tacticalpontoon]

The Tacticalpontoon Leonidas system is the absolute best there is. Nothing else compares.

[@jstud999]

I disagree. I love you man but after just receiving the GPT two days ago I’d take it hands down over any other trigger on the market for Glock. The leonidas is definitely in the top 5 though and I have much respect for what you do

[@jstud999]

Does it still have a wall before the trigger breaks? I saw one video where a Glock rep says it no longer has a wall. You just pull the trigger back and it shoots eventually

[@tacticalpontoon]

It does have a slight wall, it is not a full rolling break.

[@jstud999]

I live near the Glock factory in Smyrna, GA. Wondering if I could take my Glocks to them to have those installed?

[@jstud999]

Dude it’s really really easy to do, Trust me. Watch a video or two of how to disassemble a Glock frame and it drops right in. It’s very easy and Glocks don’t require tools. All you need is one small punch to push the pins out of the frame. Quick tip you don’t need a hammer. The pins need to be punched out by hand only.

[@MyCatCarriesAGlock]

The Warranty department will do it if you're just not comfortable. They'll even do a trigger pull for you if you want the exact trigger weight in your gun.

[@joshuabracke5775]

I get the impression this a cheaper, potentially more reliable Timney trigger made by Glock. We'll have to see how it shakes out though. I think it has a place on a 34 though, but not on a duty or CCW gun like the 19 or 43x

[@tacticalpontoon]

Yeah, it is a better design than the Timney. I am not completely sold on it, but better than the Timney.

[@dannygonia7288]

I honestly wanted to watch this video but like so much of KZbin I find myself inwardly screaming "OMG get to the point". I do not mean to be rude and thank the video creator for it but I guess I have reached the age my YT time may be waning.. I apologize if it seems rude and I hope this comment is taken in the manner it was meant.

[@tacticalpontoon]

Nah, all is well. Most of my later videos I try to get directly to the point. I also had to go over some of the technical details of the design. All is well, no offense taken. In short, it's a decent design and better than the Timney Alpha trigger system, but for most cases, I find the original Glock system to be superior.

[@Alop777]

Blah, blah, blah....don't know how I even made it to 14 minutes. Just buy the Agency Arms trigger kit and be done with it!

I've seen glocks modded out to over $1500 in parts & that's not even top tier lol. For the same price as an uber glockenspiel, I got two pistols & parts; both of which are better than a glock according to glock owners that won't stop asking permission to fire them lol.

Everyone so afraid to carry this cause it pre cocks the striker. Guess what all other striker fired brands already do this! It’s safe, train and get over it.

[@fearnonebutone4977]

I just had one installed on my Glock 45 and I like it. Dry firing is nice, but live fire feels way better. I had 500 rounds through it and no issues. That said, the pull weight is lighter than 4lbs and the verbiage used on Glock’s website is “performance”, not “carry/duty”. Why is that important? Because having a lighter trigger pull on a carry gun opens you up to potential issues when used in a self defense shooting. Yes, it’s an oem part, but if Glock intended it to be a performance/competition trigger, and you use it for carry, an attorney will claim that you didn’t use it for its intended purpose and that it’s a modified handgun. This doesn’t mean every attorney will go that route, but you’d be surprised with the stuff lawyers pull in court, even when you are justified. If Glock intended it for carry or duty, they would have likely worded it as such, but they didn’t. Could it be to get out of liability? Possibly. I called and asked them and the representative didn’t know the answer to the question. Kinda weird, so I sent an email with proper wording and will hopefully get a response. But if you’re not carrying it, it’s fantastic.
