How Glock triggers work and how they reset

Also shows how a switch works. The pin from the switch depresses the part that raises the trigger bar and the connector keeping firing pin and bolt carrier group from catching allowing full auto fire via preventing the trigger from resetting at all and causing a closed bolt semi automatic pistol to act almost like an old open bolt machine pistol bolt carrier just dumping mags off of pure recoil.

[@chipsterb4946]

This is the best explanation of how the parts interact that I’ve been able to find. It is important to understand how the bottom ledge of the firing pin catches on the back edge of the trigger bar cruciform. Likewise with the trigger bar/connector relationship as you pull the trigger and, especially, during reset. It’s been 6 months since I last took one apart and re-watching this video is exactly what I need for a quick refresher!

Even the super-duper computer animated "How it works" channels gloss over many things, or fail to show certain steps in their quests to be so clever. It really is a shame that they put more effort into how polished the animation is compared to the accuracy of the information. It really is hit and miss

[@MosinVirus]

Regarding spring combinations... If you watched this video, you heard and saw me talk about springs and how they affect each other. Well, I found a combination that works perfectly when it comes to reducing the weight and not sacrificing the trigger safety. You can replace only the striker spring for a 4 lb. one! Do not replace the Trigger Spring that pulls the Trigger bar back. Leave the original trigger spring in. This will give you a much lighter trigger weight and engage the trigger safety every time.

Have you experienced any light primer strikes with that lighter striker spring Mosin?

You did just fine Mosin. In fact this is the most informative "who glock triggers work" video I have found. Like you, I want to know exactly how the mechanical parts interact before I do anything to my firearm. No maybe stretching that spring was not the best thing, as they should be replaced in tandem with complimenting weights. But overall you nailed it on the simple, but unusual way a glock trigger works. Thank you so much for taking the time. There is more to polish in the connector trigger bar assembly.

Thank you for watching.

[@Shamrockrancher]

+Alex Wozniak Just a heads up... MosinV mentions in passing about polishing this or that. There's a vid on here that I thought was dead on where the guy doing the polishing used a marker and marked up the parts. As I recall, he reassembled the weapon, dry fired it several times, then took the weapon back apart. Where ever the marker had worn away were the spots to polish. I remembered this from high school shop class but as I recall we used some kind of bluing that you would 'etch' into. The markers are a good idea and a lot less messy plus when you're done, you can re-task them as markers again. The shop class bluing will be forever in your garage until it completely dries out in 15 years. What a waste. Good luck! And Mosin, thanks for the vid!

[@tonygamboa4879]

Fantastic breakdown of each part's function. I was looking for problems why my slide was so hard to pull back during the first .25 inch. I realized the ghost 3.5 connector was so much thicker than my OEM connector, the slide protrusion was having difficulty pushing the thicker connector inward!! Thanks!

[@frmusamedia]

I noticed the same thing with the 3.5 ghost edge. How did you gun feed? And was the slide effected at the range?

[@nk-dw2hm]

You might need to check the angle of your connector, it's normal to have to adjust how far out they bend from the housing. If it sticks out too far it can cause that drag feeling. Also check your safety plunger to make sure it's moving smooth

You're a sharp dude. I made an account just to tell you I was having a problem with my ghost connector not resetting the trigger and, while I was reluctant to watch a 12 min vid, I used what I learned from you to figure out my problem. Thanks!

[@MosinVirus]

My pleasure. I know the video could have been shorter. Sorry about that. So, what was the issue with your connector?

[@zeeelia2223]

MosinVirus I got the ghost rocket connector that you can adjust the over travel distance with by trimming the extra tab it comes with. So while trimming it and putting it back into the gun to see if it works (idk how much you know about it) I was afraid to over trim it and defeat the purpose of it so when I got the trigger to drop, I was happy. Then I noticed the trigger wasn’t resetting if I held it down while the slide cycled. After watching your vid I realized I needed to trim it a little more in order for the trigger bar to slide past the connector and actually sit on the side of it so the cruciform could fully come up and catch the striker. I was trimming it to the point that the cruciform was touching the tab on the connector. Only took 4 hours to realize 🙃

[@MosinVirus]

Ahhh, yes, I have seen those. I am sure after you do a couple you will know how much needs to be trimmed off that trigger bar stop arm.

Trigger resets when slide is racked during dry fire but when I hold trigger while racking slide the trigger does not want to go all the forward to hard set the safety trigger button

[@MosinVirus]

Yes, this happens when your striker spring is too light for the trigger spring. If you replaced your trigger spring for a stronger one (6lb) and you striker spring for a lighter one (4lb) which usually come in kits, the safety may be compromised because the striker spring is not strong enough to move the trigger all the way forward.

[@StevenBrooks2012]

i have the oem trigger spring in it now: replaced the 6lb as instructed by a friend especially if your using a 4.5 striker. my new combo is 5lb trigger and 4.5 striker spring. all primers fired and not one problem for target practice. home defense, I use a 5-6 lb striker to be on the safe side. I removed too much metal off of my original cruciform and during resetting trigger, it would slip off striker face. I link your videos to my glock owners and they much appreciate your fine videos. thanks, steven

Bob C thank you. Yes I know I have been saying Ok And Right pretty frequently. I have actually been working on that. please check out my more recent videos and see if I am doing a little better. it is just difficult to speak to the camera.

[@randomnav]

You can do better than me that's for sure.

[@Tgolden069]

Expected to be let down but was actually really impressed with how you presented this. I actually learned a few things. Thanks.

[@MosinVirus]

Glad you liked it. And it is my pleasure.

[@miroslavm2553]

Thanks for the effort to explain Glock ingenious trigger mechanism design. Great video, very helpful indeed.

[@MosinVirus]

My pleasure.

[@luciankristov6436]

This helped me fix my Glock. thank you man. My connector reset arm wasn't cramming back far enough

[@MosinVirus]

I am glad the video helped. Thank you

[@OreGear]

Excellent video! I sat down a couple days ago trying to try figure this all out myself and gave up. This explanation was all I needed! Great work!

[@MosinVirus]

OreGear Thank you very much for watching. Glad you liked the video.

[@homefront3162]

Probably THE best firearm video I have seen

[@MosinVirus]

Thank you very much.

[@bergi85]

I know this is an old video, but this is great! It helped me diagnose an issue I was having, thank you!

[@MosinVirus]

I am glad it helped.

[@mvalens8162]

Nice job. I've had a Glock for 20+ years and had no idea how the mechanism worked. It goes bang and I was happy with that.

[@MosinVirus]

True. There is no need to really get into it. I just like to see how they work even if I don't plan on doing anything to the mechanism

[@fleminglawofficesp.a.9852]

Very well done video. My wife ( a huge G19 fan) has watched it three times, and thanks to you, can discuss the process in accurate detail while speaking with her female students.

[@MosinVirus]

Fleming Law Offices Thank you for watching and liking the video.

[@samg6071]

This is the BEST glock trigger explanation

[@MosinVirus]

Thank you

[@dbeeksci]

You are correct, understanding the working mechanism is important before you proceed with altering the anything. That was a very helpful video. Thank you.

[@MosinVirus]

My pleasure.

[@barbarashea7358]

Excellent breakdown. Did have to watch a couple times to get understanding but that's on me. Helped me understand my non-reset issue after polishing some parts. Thanks.

[@MosinVirus]

Glad you liked it.

[@freddo7330]

8 years later & your video is still helping/informing the culture! God Bless Patriot🫡

[@MosinVirus]

Thank you. I am glad the video is still relevant.

[@Heikin-Ashi-Larry]

Search “how a Glock works” and look for the video by Matt Rittman. You’re welcome.

[@steve586586]

Great explanation...I knew how most of the parts worked individually, but not the whole process. Now I see exactly where that drop of oil should go (and why) on the connector. Thanks! Great job.

[@MosinVirus]

My pleasure. Glad I could help.

[@pauliedweasel]

Great Video! I had a fuzzy idea about how the Glock trigger mechanism worked before this but this video makes it clear as day, Thank You. This video should be used by Glock to teach users an armorers about the gun.

[@MosinVirus]

Thank you very much for this great feedback. I am really glad the video helps.

[@pauliedweasel]

@@MosinVirus I’ve seen other videos about how the trigger bar and connector interact but yours was the first to the relationship between the cramming surface on the slide and the connector, that relationship had never dawned on me. I’ve sent this video to my older son who’s a LA County Sheriff’s Deputy and a senior range instructor at their Wayside training facility. Glock is an approve sidearm for the sheriffs and my son has a Glock so I think this video will be helpful to him.

[@MosinVirus]

@@pauliedweasel thank you. I do hope it helps people understand how the system works.

[@pauliedweasel]

@@MosinVirus It’s perfect!

[@richardcabral9863]

Your Explanation is better than the animated one by Glock. Thank You Outstanding especially for guy that owns nothing but 1911, Now I own Glocks. Richard

[@MosinVirus]

My pleasure. I actually have a few Glocks too.

[@dominickvessia1847]

Excellent, Understanding the function and correlation of parts is critical. I wish more reviewers made the effort. It was informative and will be extremely useful. Thank you

[@MosinVirus]

Thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video and it is always nice to see comments like yours. Thank you.

[@joserrodz]

+MosinVirus Just purchased a Glock 26 Gen 4 and looking for all Info related to Glock. Found your excellent video and had to praise you on probably the Best Audiovisual Presentation on the Glock Trigger System ! Not only you explain its parts but also show how each interacts with each other and as a whole ! Nice narrative with clear diction. Thank You !

[@MosinVirus]

joserrodz thank you very much for watching and your great comment.

[@NATES84]

Best explanation I have seen of what happens .What a fascinating chain of events have to occur ",elegant" thinking like an implosion bomb construction .More Glock video info please .Will have to check for the trigger reset you highlighted .

[@MosinVirus]

Thank you for watching. Glocks are truly the most amazing pistols due to their simplicity of design and yet high reliability and accuracy.
