New Glock Performance Trigger Review : Is it Really Better?

[@scott4805]

Glock needs to just go ahead and put this trigger in their factory handguns, and move on from their current triggers. " I love my stock Glock trigger" said almost no one that has ever felt a good trigger.

[@4hp605]

I like my stock glock trigger as well. And I knew before buying, that I can't expect a really good and smooth trigger...

[@adammathers4879]

Their stock triggers are reliable.

[@JROCK100ification]

People are funny sometimes you get spongey triggers some crispy Pull the trigger before you buy the one you want Yesterday at the range I had a guy complement my stock Glock trigger crispy solid click

[@scott4805]

@@JROCK100ification if Glock installed the new performance trigger in their handguns, it would also be a stock trigger from the factory and I would guess it would be just as reliable.

[@E52O4]

I have to say that I actually like the stock trigger. Now, I give all my stock Glock triggers the 25 cent trigger job. Smoother than out of the box, a touch lighter pull (maybe a half pound), and zero issues. Are there better triggers on the market? Yes. Why I don’t buy them is I want to be able to pick up anyone’s firearm if it’s the only one available and stay in the fight.

[@Dan-di9jd]

I got mine today and I already shot about 150 rounds out of my stock g19 gen 5 that I bought last week. I spent about half an hour on the stock trigger and felt how it went up on the wall and felt a little mushy but not by much. I installed the performance trigger and don't notice like a huge "wow" difference but I did notice a difference in how the wall feels. It does feel like it breaks right away instead of having any mushy part. The biggest upgrade I got was the extended slide release tat really helps with reloading with just my index finger on the right side. It feels exactly like my AR15 now with the bad lever and 2 stage trigger.

[@john7m7usa]

Just bought a G19X, will order the enhanced trigger next month. I like Apex a lot, but great to keep it OEM as much as possible. Thanks for the review Sootch!

[@daviddalton8996]

I installed this Performance Trigger on my G19X, and what a difference. I can put the attached laser on an object, get to the wall and then a crisp break. The movement is so minimal it’s amazing. Reliability, durability, and performance at this price point makes the G19X an all around perfect firearm… for me anyway.

Hey Sootch, great video as always! I was on the fence with getting the GPT, I bought 2 because of your review. They are easy to install and just took a few minutes. I just got back from the range and there is definitely a difference between the stock and GPT. I’m glad I made the switch, thanks again for a very informative video!

[@Gieszkanne]

Johnny Glock also did say that the Timney trigger might not be 100% drop save while the Glock Performance trigger is. He also did explain why.

[@B.H-w1y]

I run my GPT on a Glock 45MOS. I installed the Johnny Glock's modified OEM GPT trigger shoe with a set screw added that adjusts the pre-travel. The pull is short as well as the reset, absolutely the best Glock trigger I have ever used out of many over the long haul.

[@hatman231]

I put the GPT in my Gen5 G34. Best trigger I have installed in a Glock thus far and best bang for the buck. I ididn't like the trigger shoe it came with so I changed the shoe to the Johnny Glock VEX Shoe Upgrade. At this point in time I can't see getting a better trigger for a Glock.

And as you know in today's world of electronics everything dies when it gets wet... But not that light... It still works as good as new not. Just wanted to tell you I have no regrets and thank you for the always good advice

[@bhshakari]

Just remember, you can't upgrade your way to mastering the fundamentals. No matter the gun or trigger, the primary limiting factor in a guns speed and accuracy is the person pulling the trigger. Sure, when I pull the stock trigger on my glock slowly, I notice all the imperfections people complain about, but when I'm actually at the range shooting, I notice ZERO of those imperfections. If you are unfortunate enough to need your gun to defend your self or another, you will not notice the trigger pull, and if you haven't already mastered the fundamentals, then a trigger upgrade isn't going to matter.

[@Swamprowdy]

And if you are in a self defense situation, you won't be shooting to reset. You will be so jacked-up, reset and light trigger action won't be your main concern; saving your life will be #1. When I shoot my stock G19, I practice more caombat shooting, and not 1 inch groups shooting to reset.

[@horiturk333]

Thanks Captain Obvious

[@richardwaid4718]

Jeeze, I thought we were talking triggers. My EDC is a Sig P938 and my full sized open carry is a 1911 converted to 460 Rowland ( In the woods mostly). And finally, my mid size concealed carry is a HK P90 with the LEM trigger. This lineup hasn’t changed in over a decade except the Rowland conversion. I get it, fundamentals and in reality you better not shoot anyone from an appreciable distance or you’re going to prison. So the fact that I’m able to hit an 18 inch plate from 100 yds with a 2011 or Shadow 2 isn’t going to be relevant in a likely self defense situation and a light trigger is a liability when you have a 190 bpm heartbeat and someone is shooting at you. Thus the significant rd count and holster wear on the above choices.

[@alm9951]

Huh? You mean that if I ever have to use it in self defense I cant ask my attacker what grain and brand hollow point I should use? You mean I cant measure my trigger pull before he attacks me? I cant take out a gelatin block to test penetration before everything? Well, _im_ disappointed

[@tangovue6840]

I wish Glock would be clear on whether or not their performance trigger is geared for carry/duty use or more “competition” or other means. This could be something brought up in court in a self defense case, so the more clear Glock gets the better it will be for the end user.

I watched Lenny at the Glock store install the Double Diamond 3.5 lb. trigger connector link (only) with All stock springs making it a 4.5lb. trigger, slightly less take up, CRISP CLEAN BRAKE and slightly quicker reset. Very smooth all the way through. What an improvement, more accurate, faster follow up, I'm very happy with it . G-45 , G-43x . I wanted to keep them as stock as possible, the DD connector was the answer, best $25 improvement you'll make on the gen 5 original assembly. Thanks Don

I have the Ghost Tactical 5.0 connector. It requires fitting but is very easy with a Dremel tool. The fitting is required to minimize the over-travel, which will in turn render a short reset. It makes a huge difference. Like you, I think it's the best $25 I've spent. I've shot other G19's with after market triggers and I prefer mine. It's a no brainer.

Mushy - spongy stock trigger is THE reason I want to get GPT. But then I hear that with time, the more you use it stock trigger becomes better, less mushy -spongy. Which makes sense. Is it true that GPT needs to be lubed every thousand or 1.5K shots? Or that it gets dirty after few thousand rounds and starts to gum up, not reset ? If so I'm keeping my polished stock trigger with 3.5lb connector.

If you are concerned the pull weight being too light (especially for carry) then put a 6lb striker spring in it. It should bring it up about .5-.75 lbs.

A heavier striker spring doesn’t really affect this trigger, because the striker is already being held in the rear position when it’s cocked. I was using a lighter striker spring, but when I put the performance trigger in I put in a 6 pound spring just to ensure reliability of setting off primers and it didn’t really make a difference.

I EDC a G19X, one of the first things I did was switch the trigger for an Apex trigger.Even though I’m happy to see Glock doing improvements and bringing us new products, I think they have gotten complacent over the years. I spent well over 1,500$ on modifications for my G19X (milled slide, stippling, threaded barrel etc) when other companies are selling their products out of the box with many modifications. Again, I commend Glock for doing improvements but I’m sure they can do much more without passing the cost to the consumer.

I've never had issues with my Johnny Combat triggers but my GS triggers especially one in particular I've had both failure to feed and eject. After having either issue at the range, I'll replace that trigger with the original and have no issues for many magazines. But I'm about as forgiving on that trigger as JC himself and I'll put it back into the Glock. But the cycle won't repeat itself bc I'm just going to buy a Glock Performance Trigger.

If I had to get rid of all my guns except for 2 I'd go with my Glock 17 and my Ruger PCC that I switched over to use Glock mags. I've had every version of Glock 17 since 1992. I love deep mountain camping and that combo saves space and weight and has served me extremely well for years. Had my backpack rigged out for the PCC that can separate. I know people will tell me there are better pistols and PCCs but honestly if the system isn't broke I'm not going to waste my money changing it up. I'm not a Glockhead. I have H&K, CZ, Canik, Springfield, Sig, Taurus .22, and Walther pistols and absolutely love all of them for different reasons like I love all 7 of my boys. Each are uniquely great in different ways. However, I have never in in my life ever even held a Glock 19, no idea why. Yesterday I had to get my lawnmower blades sharpened at the D&B Supply so while I was waiting I talked to the good ole boy who works the gun counter. Long story a bit longer, I was messing around with the latest Glock 19 and is fantastic.

Takes all of the springy/crunchy feel out and makes is smooth as glass with about a 4-4.5 lb pull. With that nice OP flat trigger with the index hook at the bottom...perfect for EDC.

[@maximilianmustermann5763]

It seems like the Glock performance trigger is quite a bit cheaper than the Overwatch or Timney triggers, at least here in Europe. It's also the only option if you want to shoot IPSC production because you're not allowed to use 3rd party triggers in that division. OEM replacements are fine though.

[@90whatever]

@@maximilianmustermann5763 Do they have a Glock performance trigger yet for the slimline models...or one in the works? I got an Overwatch for mine that is built on an OEM trigger bar so it is about as close as I can get but I'd like to stay totally OEM if I could.

[@maximilianmustermann5763]

@@90whatever I don't know, sorry. I just ordered my first Glock (model 45) and have only had a CZ and a Walther 9mm before. So, I am not really a Glock guy, I was just researching trigger replacements for the 45, that I don't even have yet.

[@SaundersE5]

Always fair and balanced

[@richardwaid4718]

Why is it an enhanced trigger, why isn’t it the standard Glock trigger? I have two G4 19s one with the optic cut and one without. They never see any service because of other alternatives with nice triggers. Their triggers are terrible. Good review as usual!

[@sootch00]

Thanks Richard, I think they'll start incorporating these trigger into as their standard trigger at some point. Yes, the Glock trigger is much to be desired! lol!

[@DaveL9170]

@@sootch00 for the record. I have the basic Glock 19 and have used the same one on duty for almost two decades. She runs great and the trigger must not be too bad because every year on range quals I shoot 95 or higher without exception.

[@richardwaid4718]

@@DaveL9170 So is your point that you’ve mastered the trigger and shoot it very well in spite of the very marginal trigger. Sounds like user skill overcoming crappy trigger. I wonder how you’d do with my Shadow 2 or Staccato?

[@JJ_SDWR]

​@@richardwaid4718 the staccato & Shadow 2 that weigh twice as much as a stock Glock 19? Competition race guns vs carry/duty guns is apples to oranges.

[@stevel7501]

Does this trigger come with a set of real sights.

[@HotBrass-Lead]

No but if you want metal sights Glocks can be ordered with them mine came with ameriglo agents . If you buy a Glock with plastic sights than you chose to do so .

[@lens7859]

I own a few Glocks, and they are great, BUT it bothers me that you should, not have to, replace the sights, trigger, and maybe put some Talon Grips on. They are like the Honda Civic, you can depend on them, but many other brands have much better features for lower prices.

[@lens7859]

@Just As I said, "not have to" . All of mine are stock. I think people make such a issue about triggers and sights, you just have to be proficient with your different firearms. If I wanted my 19 to be as good as my SIG I would have to change out the trigger and sights, but it's not that important to spend the money on, especially on a gun I don't carry .

[@haileymaya2030]

The best trigger for the Glock 21 and mag release

[@1badC6]

For $30 bucks you can get “black yikes connector” for your Glock that gets the trigger pull down to 4lbs with the stock trigger so there’s no issue installing it in your self defense guns

[@mr.blanco6763]

-Put a heavier trigger return spring to bring up ur pull weight and create aggressive reset. No need to use different connectors.

[@Blackhawk556.]

I still dont get why Glock hasn’t released a different series of Glock models. S&W had the M1, M2, metal versions and even the SDV models.

[@erice4611]

You should do a review on the Holosun 509T with the primary arms ACSS reticle. IT’S GREAT!!! It’s easy to put the trigger back together if you use the Glock punch as a “slave” to help ld the spring back while sliding the trigger bar in place.

[@Tron2pointOh]

This new system turns it into a pre-cocked trigger much like the Sigs. Nope... Not in my holster.

[@henryliu1046]

yes its precocked but its impossible for it to go off like sigs because it still has the shark fin

[@Tron2pointOh]

@@henryliu1046 any pre-cocked system is also going to cause earlier spring fatigue. There's nothing wrong with the stock trigger.

The Glock Performance trigger gets sluggish and spongy as you shoot it. You will have to clean this trigger often if you are going to run one.

[@ericjohnson9193]

I think a justified self defense shooting would be justified whether you had an oem trigger or aftermarket trigger from a liability standpoint. Just my opinion. Always like your videos by the way. Just bought the olight javelot mini because of your review and like it a lot.

[@allunavaliable]

an sub-3lb aftermarket trigger won't magically "un-justify" a legal shooting, but it could result in an ND in a high-stress situation. anyone who doesn't recognize that very real possibility of human error hasn't trained hard enough. unintentional double-taps or firing before you're on target is a huge concern when tired after 7 hours of a 8 hour class and your hands are going numb from firing a case of ammo in a day.

[@deebsmcsqueebs5589]

This is and OEM trigger. Right from the glock factory.

[@mrbee145]

The legal excuse is pathetic. I use the most lethal and will fire till there is no movement. Then reload and look for movement
