Glock Polymer 80 trigger reset problem fixed.

This is how I fixed my polymer 80 reset issue. I tried the other methods first then this. If you’re having reset issues a simple striker spring swap might save you time. It’s worth a shot. Thanks for watching.

[@shawncoon5283]

Having the exact same issue with a P80 slide on a P80 lower. It’s been driving me nuts trying to figure it! If I swap slides from my Glock 17 (gen3) both firearms work fine. Definitely going to try this.

[@bripro68]

Hopefully it works. My gun has run flawlessly ever since.

[@Rico100k]

Thank u, I think u just solved my problem, and nice 👍🏾 build!!!

[@bripro68]

Hope this does it for you. Mine is still running strong.

[@jeeplifedeana4747]

I would still check the crucifix on your trigger bar for at least 80% coverage from your striker lug. That is a standard check with all my builds. And it is also a safety issue.

[@bripro68]

Thank you. All good. It’s even gotten smoother since the video went up. I bought a trim taper back plate years ago, then realized how dumb it was. It has been reborn into an armorers plate.

[@shavebucks9818]

my p80 was having issues trigger going forward i shaved stuff they told me to shave thne it woiuld work for a little then it woiuld have the same probelsm again so i just ordered a 6lbs striker spring when it comes ill let you know if it works

@@shavebucks9818 sorry to hear you’re having trouble. Mine is still running perfectly. Hope the spring gets it up and running for you. interested in hearing about it when you get it in.

Would it reset with finger off the trigger? I know someone having an issue where it always resets with finger off trigger but 1/3 of the time it won’t reset with the trigger depressed.

[@bripro68]

If by finger off the trigger you mean squeezing the trigger (as in you’re firing a shot) and then quickly pulling your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard I would say the answer is yes it would typically reset under those circumstances. Probably not 100% but most of the time. My problem was the trigger would not follow my finger back forward after a shot was fired to reset the striker. I typically do that rather slowly when I’m just at the range but need it to be reliable at any speed. For me, the striker spring was the fix.

[@AK-ky3ou]

@@bripro68 thanks, I’ll let him know… what I mean is, say in a dry firing situation, if the trigger is depressed it will not reset 100% with the trigger depressed with your finger…. if you rack the slide without a finger on the trigger when it’s in the depressed position it always resets. I’m typing on mobile and not sure if I’m clear. Thanks

[@bripro68]

@@AK-ky3ou I know what you mean now. Yes if I pulled the trigger, then released it and racked the slide it always reset.

I honestly don’t remember if I used wolf or ghost as the manufacture but they’re both reputable. Here’s a quick search on eBay I did. www.ebay.com/itm/171938904829?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gGew-4skRna&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Z_uaa43cRJm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@yungking4587]

Thanks I was dealing with this issue and was wondering if I wasted time building the p80 money can be gained again but my time

[@bripro68]

Try this fix. It’s simple and takes about five minutes to install, and that includes opening the package the part came in.

[@tommymadux3646]

To me changing to a stronger spring is not riding the problem it’s just allowing the gun to function while having the tolerances not correct. Something in yours is too tight or stiff and using the stronger spring just over comes that. I would still suggest to figure what’s not correct still.

[@bripro68]

Thanks for watching. I hear what you’re saying but I’m going to call it done. I will keep an eye out for unusual wear marks in any strange locations.

[@bripro68]

@Charles X Still running fine with a nice crisp reset

[@bripro68]

@Charles X Thank you. This is my first experience with this. I think it turned out pretty decent. I’m very grateful for those who have come before me that were willing to post their experiences for me to stumble upon.

[@robbloodbath]

I’m having the same exact problem with my first 3 builds. I just got back from the range about a hour ago. I’m a little pissed off because I’ve been at it for the past 3 weeks waiting for parts and putting these things together only to find out that 3 out of the 4 don’t work right. The 4th gun is still waiting on a upper parts kit so it’s yet to be seen on what the deal is with it. However all 3 guns had the same issue. If a stronger spring is not the true fix my brother then what is the real issue? I have 2 G19’s with the Lone Wolf Freedom frames doing this right off the bat. The others are P80 full size frames for my G17’s. These are my first pistol builds and I feel like I messed up along the way somehow .. But I’m going through them now and don’t see where I messed up. I’m ordering the 6 pound springs tonight but I’d like to know what the deal is. What should I do to find the issue?? Help the new guy out!! Thanks

[@bripro68]

@@robbloodbath I think, or at least I hope, the 6 pound striker spring is going to be your fix. Made all the difference in mine. Let me know how it works out. I’d say if it gets all three running well it’s a legit fix not just a Band-Aid like that other guy suggested.

mine is failing to reset if i rack the slide with some upward force but resets normal is i rack the slide pushing down towards the frame. do you know what this issue could be?

I had the same issue, I bought a new striker assembly to see if that’s the issue. Either that or just gotta bend the cruciform up a bit. The trigger fails to reset when shooting slow for me.
