Any way to improve Glock triggers?

[FiremanBob]

Am trying to decide whether to buy a 21SF or to pay up for a 1911. One big advantage of a 1911 is the sweet trigger pull.

Can anything be done to improve the trigger on a Glock? If so, I may buy one. If not, I have to seriously consider spending an extra $300 for a nice Colt or S&W.

You can make them lighter, but you will never get one like a well tuned 1911, They will always have some mushiness to them, its just the nature of the striker fire design. But parts are cheap and installing them is easy.

I think there are alot more advantages to the 1911 than just the trigger pull. And they are worth the extra cash

Doing the .25 cent trigger job and dropping in a 3.5 connector will give you a nice sweet triger pull.

I was at Dave Santurri shop last month and he handed me a Glock 21 that he had just finished doing a trigger job on. I couldn't believe what a nice trigger it had. It's amazing what a good gunsmith can do.

Keep your gun clean and install a lighter connector. The aforementioned site http://www.alpharubicon.com/mrpoyz/glock/ will tell you how to detail strip the gun to install the connector.

I haven't tried the polishing, but that might help a bit too. There are some aftermarket trigger sets that should give you a great trigger... the problem is that they are not recommended for SD/HD usage because of the potential (however slight) of light primer strikes (the full job includes messing with the springs).

I've got a 3.5lb connector in my G20C, and its good enough -- not like the Kimber I had the opportunity to shoot, but enough to put the rounds on target.

Obviously, if you want a range queen, a trip to a smith might be a good idea. But for most applications 13+1 rounds, not having to worry about having a cocked hammer, ease of maintenance/cleaning, and money left over for extra ammo is going to beat, even with the Glock trigger out of the box, anything a 1911 can offer.

It helps a great deal. Do it.

Thanks for the good advice. I just ordered a G21SF from Bud's.
