The 5 Best Glock Triggers Compared

[@spacecaesar7619]

Performance trigger + Johnny Glocks Vex trigger shoe is, to my mind, the best trigger setup for a Glock. I don’t think I’d carry it because the idea of a fully pre cocked striker doesn’t sit well with me, but it’s been completely reliable for me over the past year or so I’ve been using it in USPSA. Before I switched to that I was using the Timney alpha trigger, which I found required constant attention and maintenance or it would begin to fail to reset.

[@wawilked1]

OEM performance sugar Plus Johnny Glock package is my favorite. I will take any of his duty complete trigger groups.

[@DaraVero]

Hi bud, can you list down the upgrades you did for g26 gen5 on your 1:30 video? Love the set up and wanted to do that.Thanks

[@alohacoralreef]

Zev?? Would you recommend? My ffl swears by em

[@jl3449]

Sorry, my choice for EDC is the stock trigger. One less thing to go wrong despite how bad the stock trigger is. I’m fine with after market mechanical parts on my range gun though.

[@copper178]

The GPT is a GLOCK trigger so how is it not considered a stock part to you when it's made for Glock pistols as a drop in trigger?

[@spnfirearms]

Fair enough! I get it

[@spnfirearms]

Yes the performance trigger is stock. It’s an oem part made by Glock for Glocks

[@jl3449]

@@copper178 yeah true. Maybe I just don’t trust myself to install it and trust my life with it lol

[@Kh2456]

Stock trigger with a OEM dot connector is supreme.

What compensator are you running and where did you get it I've looked all over but I love the way that one looks!??!

[@dans9228]

Great video, great description of all the various trigger options. Thank you!

[@Skitsocat]

What about the Pyramid Gen 2 trigger from the Glock Store????

[@mikelasa5173]

As you know, my favorite it the Wheaton arms but also like the Apex. The quality in the Wheaton Arms is obvious as soon as you use it. Of course they cost about double of the Apex. For my Glock 19, I have the wheaten arms trigger and a spiraled stainless barrel and between 8:11 both my accuracy is better than any other Firearm that I own. Thanks for the awesome video. I absolutely love comparison videos!

[@finaltouchautodetailingllc]

Thank you for sharing the information. I'm really wondering why so many recommend apex triggers in their Glock, I don't the difference at this point.

[@PedroCaballeroZ]

Have you ever tried the overwatch precision trigger ?

[@jerrywiese9722]

Interesting comparisons. The Johnny Glocks trigger is nice, and he also shows how to use the Glock Performance trigger on Gen 1-4 if you weren't aware.

[@Swampytheroot]

Nice presentation. I'm surfing looking for large frame Glock triggers for Gen4 40 & 41. My favorite Glock is a Gen2 31 I carried for 20 years. Stock trigger with Wolff springs and Ghost connector. Tried that with the 41 and didn't get nearly the same result.

[@nash6102]

Would have liked you to show the take up and wall a bit more rather than repeatedly pulling it giving us little visual cues as to where the wall is or how much take up there is

[@BIGBOB951]

Is the apex just the trigger shoe or is it the whole trigger system?

[@Rico4801]

That’s what I want to know as well

[@cisquierdo]

What about Lenny magills pyramid trigger?

[@MechanicallyMusical]

I would highly reccomend checking out the wilson combat glock trigger if you ever get a chance it is factory weight but much smoother with a shorter more posative reset and a flat face.

[@johnnyferguson2401]

Do you use the pyramid trigger from Gloc store I have one and I love it although it took about 200 rounds till I got it tuned properly, but I also completely rebuild my Gloc with non Gloc parts..

[@bladeboysfv5646]

Is the G26L a Hooper Gun Works Slide? How do you like it so far?

[@spnfirearms]

Runs flawlessly! I have 14 slides from them, no issues! Respect

[@maxmccain8950]

Lone Wolf sells a trigger housing with an adjustable over travel stop. I have them on several of my guns and they really improve the trigger press. You can adjust it for little or no over travel. On my carry guns I leave a bit more room for the crusiform (spelling) to drop down.

[@BD1JR]

Do you have a link to the apex trigger your using

[@nicobythebeach1]

Johnny Glock looking like the well rounded winner

[@abelacosta7200]

Triggers are the 1st part I upgrade on any firearm I own. I hate heavy triggers. Makes me pull too hard & my shots hit low/left. Also a metal trigger shoe feels awesome & way better than the polymer oem trigger. So I use the taran Tactical grand master connector, trigger shoe, and I polish the internals. Gets me down to 3.5.

[@JohnSmith-zw6tr]

Just use a minus connector, gets down to 3.5 anyways

[@copper178]

As much as you mod your Glocks with different parts, I'm surprised you haven't tried to put that Glock Performance Trigger in your gen3 26 yet. It's literally a piece of cake and only requires the housing legs to be trimmed to match the length of the gen3 housing legs. After that, it drops right in and only requires your slide to have a gen5 backplate, which you already do anyway. The only other modification that might be necessary is some minor filing on the frame "only if" your GPT safety rubs on the frame. You're a tinkerer with your pistols anyway, so get another GPT for roughly 70 bux and upgrade that gen3 26, I had to file down the frames on my Glock 45 and Glock 47 because the GPT safety rubbed slightly on those frames, and they are gen5 frames, which is what the GPT is for, per Glock. Don't waste another day with a substandard trigger on your gen3 and 4 Glock 26's, and put a GPT in them also. Lenny from Glockstore has videos on how the GPT works for the gen3-5, including the 40 and 357sig Glocks. After I watched his videos, I put the GPT in a bunch of my Glocks, including my Glock 32 and 33 357sigs.

[@spnfirearms]

I’ll have to try it! I will do this because it’s the best edc trigger in my opinion. And I love the gen 3’s. Thanks for sharing. Just screen shotted this! Respect

[@mi777ke777]

Thanks for the info!

[@distilledfreedom1840]

I want the same trigger weight as stock, just less spongy. Suggestions? Oh and reliable.

[@maxmccain8950]

I believe you can shorted the feet of the trigger housing on the Glock Performance Trigger and use it on Gen 3. There are several trigger makers doing just that. Another great video sir.

[@stewview]

Thanks for the video this was great info! What kind of hand grips are those?

[@CA2ATrucker]

Are you running the Apex safety plunger and connector with the trigger or just the trigger? The county I live in here in Ca only approves the Apex trigger kit for edc... Great info, thanks SPN. Stay safe God Bless ✌️ 🇺🇲

[@mi777ke777]

I run the ghost 3.5 connector with a OCC over travel adjustable trigger housing on the range toy /battle 26 with a 19.5 marksmen barrel. Triggers crisp and reliable everytime. Glocks are fun to tinker with even tho they are "Perfect"

[@cyeleeunofficial]

Thanks for this video SPN! Had no idea Glock made an OEM performance trigger, I need one!

[@myst8217]

It came out within the last year or so.

[@Dozer111]

for the slimline??

[@jimheatherton7155]

I have great luck with just polishing the trigger bar and using a ghost edge 3.5 connector. On all my gen 5 Glocks they pull 3.8-4Lb’s on gen 4 duty gun 4-4.2 Lbs absolutely no issues. And it cost $30 and polish time. Our department used the Glock performance trigger and nothing but issues so we got away from them. That was on our response team that shoot nonstop. The Apex is a great trigger as well I have one on my G-45

[@1992pv]

the first trigger, to me feels really squishy and has a lot of uptake to the breaking. johnny glock triggers are pretty nice. You need a trigger pull scale/gauge to show how much lbs it take to pull the triggers instead of just talking about it. Put some facts on there.

[@john1644]

I really need to know, how do you keep the grip tape on the support side of the frame from moving after re-holstering? I had the same idea and it's unbelievable for keeping the nose down, but after maybe a month of holstering and reholstering from edc, that thing's already sliding back towards the take-down lever. Is it the holster you think or is there something I'm missing?

[@spnfirearms]

Could be the holster! Or use a hair dryer and really get that adhesive on there and it would hold up a bit better!

[@gbullock2598]

I'm just curious of who started people saying, i don't want a light trigger on my carry gun. That logic has never made sense to me. Lighter trigger pull equals less gun manipulation which leads to more accurate shots. Isn't that what a person want if their life is in danger, i do. Thats why i have timney triggers in both my carry glocks.

[@Wuoffan1]

For EDC i think ill stick with stock, but I'll admit that Apex trigger is appealing

What about “drop safe?” I bought a what I thought was a really nice trigger from “Royal Arms” in 2016. I dropped it in my driveway and put a round through my car door. They CLAIMED it was drop safe; nope. They wouldn’t even return my emails, that tells you everything you want to know about customer service. And, taught me never to assume anything is drop safe; no matter what they say.

Glock has the most crusty trigger on the market. They are reliable guns, but Glocks have done nothing in 40 years to be innovative and forward thinking

Apex is my go to

[@colt10mmsecurity68]

Call me very old school, but I’ve been shooting stock OEM Glocks since 1988. I can pretty much outshoot my buddies and co-workers who are all into firearms professionally. I’m not saying I’m the very best because there’s always someone better than you (me). But even with aftermarket triggers, if someone doesn’t practice shooting like Eddie Van Halen did on the guitar, then a performance trigger isn’t going to do anything for you. Personally, I think that dots and triggers are way overrated.

[@bryanrichey6840]

While there is some merit to what you say here, I will add this….. I bought my first Glock in 1991 and have purchased 3 more since then. Comparatively speaking, the trigger in my latest acquisition, G45 MOS, 9mm, Gen 5 is complete garbage. Gritty af. It’s the only one that has ever been bad enough that I’ve considered swapping it. I’ll kick the can down the road and give it some time to break in, but if it doesn’t get significantly better I’ll swap it for sure. Regarding RDS (green is what I run), I was initially reluctant to jump on the bandwagon. That said, now that I have I won’t go back. Faster. More accurate.

I could care less about competion pistols. That is a totally differenr bree of pistol, and has no place in CCW. Some people call the "Race Guns" with the magwell and everything under the sun on thos guns. A good example, No it is not a good example or a good compant, as Lenny McGill will engrave "One Shot One Kill" in your slide. Just look at the competion guns he is trying to sell. They look like something out of a bad comic book. His triggers "Double Diamond " set up is about 275.00 plus install.
