SAFETY CHECKS & SAFETY TESTS highly educational only

[@mingram008]

I am impressed! I was a firearms instructor for a number of years and I have seen some bubba BS on these sites. This guy’s research and instructional expertise is phenomenal. I thought I knew the GLOCK basics but I have come up short. I trust his insight and love the disclaimer this is “educational only”. Man you assume the risks when you touch a weapon. So don’t fiddle “F” with it unless you are VERY sure of your fiddling! Will continue following your work sir.

[@johnnyglocks]

Thanks brother 👍

[@Gmar69]

If anyone does not understand this information should not be doing modifications to their firearms...period! Good video man!

[@bubbabar13]

Thanks for the information. I wish there were more conscientious armorers out there like you. After thirty-five years in law enforcement, four of which as a range officer, and five on the sector pistol team, I have learned that there is no substitute for safety. Things get ugly in a hurry, especially when you least expect it. Not only are you an extremely amazing armorer, you are experienced in life and the teachings thereof. GREAT VIDEO.

[@BarnDoor-won5ve]

And that's why I got your combat system instead of learning how to polish parts, grind parts and swap out to unsafe springs from a diy'er gomer on KZbin. Love your content and your work Johnny, thanks for being here for us

[@ronguay01]

I tend to run a 5 pound trigger spring and a 5 pound striker spring for what I do, it doesn’t need to feel any lighter than that. Polished to make it a smooth pull without stutters.

[@joshuagillan474]

Johnny you're Awesome and the way you help out Tactical toolbox understand how it works was once again Awesome. Keep up the good work and thank you for helping others.

[@oklahomahank2378]

I was a safety officer at an IDPA match. A guy with a 1911 was putting his hand over the ejection port to empty the chamber. I told him not to. On a later stage I was not the safety officer and he did it. The primer hit the ejector, went off, and put a hole in the web of his hand. He was very very lucky it did not hit bone or a major vessel. I cleaned and bandaged it and told him to go get professional help. No idea if he did. I just mention that to confirm your statement that seeing a negligent discharge will change your perspective on safety.

I have never held a glock or even shot one but today I purchased a g43x I got home and ordered your combat package with the striker and a connector I have always carried a sig compact 1911 I liked the idea of a striker fired gun but the thought of retraining my self to a long take up squishy break with over travel sounded like too much of a compromise then i saw your video of the pawn shops wife's gun with the pink barrel and was amazed at what i saw a 1911 trigger on a glock so my new journey begins thanks johnny

[@nk-dw2hm]

One thing I haven't seen explained yet: how does the backplate change the striker/sear geometry? On one of my builds when I use a glock factory back plate or aftermarket I occasionally get doubles where the striker is released when I'm attempting to reset the striker. I put on a see through armorers back plate and engagement looked good and I couldn't get the behavior to reoccur through dry fire or at the range. Is it possibly a different thickness so that the striker is held in a slightly different location?

[@clloydhi]

good stuff...especially for P80 builds as they can come up with all kinds of tolerance issues.

Hey man! Have you worked with the Vickers tactical trigger yet? I have a gen 5 trigger on the way, and I’m wondering how much I can or need to trim off the back of the safety. I’ve already placed a post inside the trigger block shelf, I have bout half engagement between the cruciform arm, and the shelf. I stayed conservative with it.

[@lupusdeum3894]

Good info. Safety is #1.

[@webbasedmoney]

Safety check 2 - drop shelf has a little play, but firm when pushed down onto the shelf, it’s not falling off the shelf at all. and 3 striker safety - plunger safety works and can move striker back and forth by hand, but if I just push plunger and abs shake slide the striker is too stiff to move, so no rattle. It’s dry, clean, no debris etc

[@snr2707]

Haters are Validators. Hey JG...you do realize the haters comment when they are feeling an extreme lack of confidence while comparing themselves against you (or whoever they are trolling). Don’t forget that.

[@crubin64]

You indicate the when pressed, the cruciform should be solid, does that mean absolutely no movement whatsoever? Or is some slight movement downward acceptable?

[@johnnyglocks]

A small very small movement is acceptable

more videos man... special request.. i have noticed the new Glock 43x (i own) uses same 43 parts but frame tolerances are different. some i picked up felt good some were really hard and ruff. mine picked by dealer from back happened to be ruff.. no worries your videos smoothed it out feels really good. had to work striker plate some flaking (nice video on that one) also sanded a bit inside were transfer bar rubs frame but noticed a slight diagonal pinch on transfer bar that makes the cruciform wanna push firmer on connector. i know your in the wild and have seen more then me. any suggestions or tips for this model, also polished internals firing pin etc.. you don't have to answer just do a video if you see fit. also on that note the g43x finish ! Even though silver throws me off is TOUGH as nails to anyone reading comments. even more so then old Teflon jobs.. I apologize i'm not spending money with you as you deserve but definately getting a trigger soon man, and i mention you to anyone getting into guns. Wish your business well man ok rant over !

[@devinmounce1838]

The Steve Buscemi one is pretty accurate. With that said my polymer 80 trigger can be pushed forward and set without racking the slide or reactivating the striker. That might not make sense but I don’t know how else to explain it.

[@tiklytahir]

Hey I wanted to know how much change makes a glock unsafe ,i have a zev 4pound striker spring I'm polishing the triger ,what I wanted to know is a 3.5 connector from ghost, the edge and the rocket as well as the pro ,are they safe ,I'm running a standard glock gen 3 triger in my gen 4 ,one last thing is with the ghost connectors i had to buy the ghost spring kit ,should I put them in

[@johnnyglocks]

If your safety checks work out and you have enough engagement you're good to go but with those type of components you have to keep checking regular

[@tiklytahir]

@@johnnyglocks so the ghost srings are fine?

[@jonzylka9474]

How often should all these safety springs be replaced?? Can the firing pin safety ever fail due to wear and allow the firing pin to fire?

[@okiecustompew]

What if all your safety checks check out but when i depress the safety plunger i don't get that rattle sound and it isn't real smooth when i pull on the striker with the slide off. do i need to replace the channel liner? This is my first gun i have built and it isn't real smooth when i pull the striker back and i did hit it in with a hammer not real hard but i did knock it in there.

Hey when I press on my cruciform it has about a millimeter of movement down and then it springs back up. Almost like it can wiggle a little. Everything’s stock except for a factory minus connector.

You do look like a mad scientist tho. Nonetheless, the Glock community is lucky to have you.

[@Magneticitist]

I never knew about Johnny til recently and at first I was thinking who is this guy fucking with peoples trigger assemblies.. But then I started watching more and realized he actually is talking all the precautions and steps to get these tweaked just like the major manufacturers are... he's just giving a little more personalization based on the shooter and shooter's preferences. When you start messing with glock internals enough it becomes straight forward enough to verify exactly the things he's showing and it's all pretty intuitive. There are limits to what can be done transforming lower parts to lower tolerances but the outcomes seem very respectable. I get the impression Glock has noticeably higher standards in their polymer frames compared to p80's though. My experience messing with P80's is the slight improvements can come together with other small variables to provide a worse end result sometimes.

I hate the Glock trigger , so I installed a comp spring set and polished the parts ( stock connector) . Now it has an avg pull weight of 3.11 lb but the take up and reset still sucks ( to far) I've seen a few methods to remove take up but I'm reluctant to modify it any more . I feel Glock knows they have a shitty trigger and should change it.

I have Glock 34 all Zev modifications why is my safety plunger hitting shelf on firing pin ledge is it dry fire improper take down I have installed 3 Zev plungers with Zev fulcrum and Zev striker any help would be appreciated maybe it's timing, lose slide fit poor design, trigger bar to late not lifting soon or high enough.

[@johnnyglocks]

Due to the scallop cut on the vertical extension of the transfer bar it is not totally disengaging the safety plunger therefore when the firing pin is released it is slightly hitting the plunger.

@@johnnyglocks this video may have saved a life. Seriously. I had a new slide that I’d shot at the range twice. When i took it down for cleaning, I ran through the 3 safety checks. I had done them when I first assembled the slide; however, the safety plunger did not fully reset after shooting it. Your emphasis on doing the safety tests over and over is so important! Tolerance stacking with various parts created an unsafe firearm. The fundamental problem turned out to be the aftermarket slide itself. Most impressive of all, you responded to my email asking you about my problem. You even watched the video I sent to you explicitly saying “only watch this if you want to.” I am not even a customer yet, but you saw an unsafe situation and helped me immensely. That demonstrates CHARACTER. Thank you again.
