Glock trigger saftey

[SDBlaster]

If you start replacing springs or connectors ( I think I'm no gunsmith) on a glock to reduce the amount of slack in the trigger pull , will that require you to disengage the trigger saftey (plastic thing in the center of the trigger saftey)

If you replace springs or the connector and the trigger safety is not engaging then something is wrong.

The two things I've seen and to watch out for are the safety plunger spring falls out of the safety plunger and is no longer inside the safety plunger and the trigger return spring is not properly installed, it has to be captured correctly on the crucifix and on the trigger housing.

It depends what you do. There is a mod where you change the pivot hole in the trigger that keeps the trigger from coming forard far enough for the trigger safety to engage so it's always off. Drop in parts probably won't.

Aside from aftermarket trigger kits or non-reversible modifications to the trigger group or housing, you will not be able to remove the slack or take-up on stock Glocks. Replacing the connectors and springs will lighten the pre-travel. Disabling, altering or defeating the factory trigger safety ("plastic thing in the center of the trigger") is not advisable in order to reduce the slack. Even if you did, after a few millimeters, you'll encounter additional slack due to the firing pin safety. Disabling, altering or defeating the firing pin safety is not advisable.

You should only be concerned with the trigger creep on the first round. Subsequent follow-ups shouldn't be an issue if you practice correct trigger reset - stage the first, reset the rest. If you're overly concerned regarding this issue and it is affecting your performance, the best advise is.. more practice.

If you wish to continue down your original path, here are a couple of available options. Please read the warnings and disclaimers as you assume all responsibility.

Good luck!
