Use black marker on those parts, shoot 50 rounds, take it apart and polish the parts where black marker is gone.

I can not believe how easy this was to do. These nail files were amazing and made all my part shine. Trigger take up is extremely smooth and the reset feels great. I don’t think it reduces trigger pull at all but you definitely notice how much it smooths up the action. Well worth it.

If you feel a click in the take-up it's your plunger spring. Take it out and twist the spring 90 degrees and reinstall the plunger and striker. Test by pushing down the plunger until the click is gone.

No it's not . Glock parts are already mirror shined under the surface treatment they put on them, if you want to see it you can just use a micro fiber rag and some gun lube . The nail file is damaging the treatment and "electroplate"

@@essray that shiny is like an electroplating they put over the the metal if you shoot one long enough you'll get through that coating ,You can usually see things like the plunger chip off first , it's one of the reasons they change the design. When you take a file to it you're speeding up that process , You can literally take a rag with nothing on it sitting there watching TV and shining up to a mirror finish with little effort. Try it. And I know he's not exactly using a file but that grit in that nail buffer just isn't necessary. You're not going to get any more benefits over shining it up with the rag . trust me I've screwed up plenty of parts since the '80s.

Serious and not outlandish: Hornady One Shot dry lube is great. Its pressurized so gets everywhere, and because its a dry lube with evaporating solvent, there is no real risk of over lubing. I found it really helped on my Gen 5 trigger. It also works really well for pocket knives and multi tools, as the dry lube doesn't attract as much dust as normal oil.

The ghost connector and polishing job dropped the tigger pull weight from 5.5 lbs to 4.25 lbs I’m completely satisfied Humble . Biggest thing was hang up on the new safety plunger design and striker engagement point . Now next improvement will be a overwatch dat polymer trigger that’s as far as I want to go since it’s my edc . Not sure the Overwatch trigger is going to make that much difference , but wanted to try something different. Thanks Humble your the bomb of The Tube . K

I’m having the same issue with my 48 mos. The trigger pull is very heavy. Started with a agency flat trigger and a minus connector the switched to an OEM trigger with OEM minus connector. Both stayed 6.5 lbs. I’m trying the ghost edge connector next. I don’t want to mess with springs because it’s my carry. But I would love to get it down to 5lbs. If I get desperate I’ll have to send it to Johnny Glocks for him to do a full work up on it.

The gen 5 trigger shoe doesn't really contact the frame, it is sandwiched between the steel of the ambi slide stop. So in addition to the frame, you can polish the inside surfaces of the ambi slide stop down by the little coil spring. And.. both sides of the shoe itself, as he mentioned, hope that made sense.. spend some time with you glock learning its functions.. if there is friction, reduce friction dont be scared to do this.. just take your time..

Tried a lot of oils and cleaners over the years. Some worked better than others. Most did ok, but I never saw any miracle lubricating properties, oils that penetrated or seasoned the metal, or made the gun noticeably easier to clean after firing. More than anything a oil that stays in place and does not dry up or get sticky is important to me. I get rid of the ones that do that.

A few years ago, I took my G17 apart and would fine sand and polish points where parts rubbed together and discovered that frame to trigger bar surface too. It seemed to really smooth out the feel of the trigger. I love the plunger spring change...and shortened spring too.

I have been super tuning reels for much longer then firearms so maybe there are better options but I like the stuff.

Curious if you ever tried a Johnny Glock trigger? I'm considering using his "KIT15" today for black friday for 15% off. It's hard for me to spend that money though when I really like Glock's trigger after polishing, and there's ammo to be had. BTW, far and away, the slipperiest substance known to man is engine assembly lube. It's viscous as slightly heated honey, will cling to where you put it. Much better than oil or grease in terms of slickness and viscosity. Try the red permatex; you won't be disappointed.

Super Lube. They offer Multi Purpose Synthetic Grease and High Viscosity Synthetic Oil (ISO 100) both will say "With Syncolon". They are food-grade lubricants, meaning they can be used on equipment that manufactures food. I have used this stuff for a long time. It is slippery, offers exceptional sheer resistance, has a wide temperature range (-45 - +450), it's clean, it doesn't stink, did I mention slippery?, it is good stuff. Every custom revolver we build is lubricated with this product. We recommend that our customers use this product. There is also a lightweight synthetic oil they make (ISO46) that's fantastic as well. Buy them all!! I use this stuff exclusively!

Look I found the boiling of new born puppies produces a concentrated fat. When distelled correctly with a mix of MDMA. You can use it as the perfect overall lubricant for a Glock. Just add a bit of crushed rhino horn on the glocks firing pin channel with the above mix and you achieve less than a 2 pound trigger pull with minimum effort.

OK so I just got a Glock19 so I’m watching a bunch of these videos now. I must say I never wanted anything to do with Glock till very recently. But If your Glock and you know all these people are doing these minor things to greatly improve your product, how do you send out a firearm knowing that these things should be done? I just don’t get it, why doesn’t Glock send these firearms out from the factory with these parts polished in these areas that improve performance?

They aren’t alone in this - most production firearms use stamped or molded parts that have not been smoothed out- I would say it’s the most common practice among duty style guns

It is a matter of maginal costs vs marginal utility (marginal does not mean small, marginal means a change in the total cost caused by doing one more thing). The way these guns are now, the trigger bars are just stamped out of a sheet. It's very cheap, very fast and it produces functional and reliable parts. Stamping works very well when you are making lots of guns very fast. To make these parts smooth would require either a completely different manufacturing technique, or they would have to be filed down, polished and hand fitted by a human employee. That is easy to do for one gun but it's hugely expensive when you are making a bunch of guns quickly. The increase in total cost would be huge and the increase in the guns performance would be very small. The difference made by the 25 cent trigger job is not day and night. It makes the action smoother but it does not really make the pull lighter. The marginal cost of doing these modifications would be higher than the marginal utility. In simple terms, it would make the guns better to have these done in factory, but not better enough to make them worth the higher price. Would you rather buy a Glock or a hypothetical gun that is exactly the same only it has a trigger that is a little bit smoother (but not lighter) and it costs $200 more? Maybe you would, but most people would not and organizations such as militaries and LE agencies definitely would not.

This was almost click bait. I saw the heading and though, "Best way to polish a glock is to throw it in the toilet bowl with some dish soap. A few flushes later......well it's still a glock but it's a clean glock"

You can also put a set screw in the actual trigger (the plastic part where your finger presses) on the back side to change pull distance. The most important aspect to a trigger job isn't the lube. You should of talked about how to inspect and insure all 3 of the internal safteys have not changed of been overridden, especially the drop safety

the purpose of this video was not to do anything that would affect the trigger safeties - simply to smooth it out. You're 100% correct if you start messing with springs or pre/over travel. Then It's worth mentioning.

It a glock , just shoot the dam thing and the trigger bar does not rub on the mag release its called a slide stop its a duty gun not a custom 1911 and as far a lube for it try ky jelly ....... jesus any lube will work just fine

I found a polished gun has a more refined trigger than a fire-fit gun I did zero polishing on. A lot of guys use these guns in competition so they are interested in having a trigger that isn't a disadvantage versus higher dollar guns - which is why this is a thing. And yes I misspoke - certainly you don't think i call it a mag release on purpose.

n00b. Your first mistake was thinking that Glock's need trigger work. Glock's are already perfection(tm), but too much work regardless. For lesser pistols that aren't as perfect as Glock, you just glob some toothpaste into the lockwork and dry fire the pistol a couple hundred times, it'll polish itself! The toothpaste also lubricates as it polishes.

Sounds wierd but the toothpaste is a good polish. I have also put metal polish on the contact points and fired/dry fired the gun several hundred times with good results.
