New G34 vs old G19 trigger comparison

[MarikinaMan]

Got a new G34 and just put new sights on it, plus a 25 cent fcg polish job.

After the work, I pulled out my old G19, which has about 2000 rounds through it, and compared. Crap, the G34 has the horrible new Glock trigger feel despite the polish. To desccribe it, its like it goes sproing and is all mushy. The G19 breaks so mucch better, and has much less creep.

Swapped the -minus connectors, just in case Glock changed the rating, still the same.

It will probably take a while to break my new match gun in. Will try to see if dry firing helps.

Glock

I just picked up a new g34 last week and installed some taran tac sights and also ordered his 3.5 connecter and springs. If I have time tommo all install the connecter and srpings.

Glocks are squirted out of molds as fast as they can make them, at a certain price point that will be attractive to LE and civilian sales.

I don't polish anything on my Glock; nothing more dangerous than a gun owner and a dremel.

Some triggers will be better than others. Luckily, there is a vast aftermarket accessory cottage industry to choose from.

I've been using Taran Tactical Innovations FCG parts for 3 years now. I like them all, save for the trigger return spring.

Actually the G19 felt exactly the same when it was new. Both FCGs are exactly the same except a heavy return spring on the G19 and much more use.

Between me and my son, we dry fired it about 1000 times since noon. Just tested it again, its getting better. The break is getting crisper, and the mush is going away and turning into a 1st stage take up.

Ill keep dry firing it for a couple more days.

This is me with the G19 in my second match ever. Im not fast, have no dreams of being a champion or anything. I go to matches as a matter of personal training. Keeping the G19 at home and using the G34 purely as a match pistol.

A little polishing without tools and a bit of flitz isn't an issue.

As a professional bicycle mechanic, amateur vintage camera restorer, amongst other mechanical things that I do, I can handle myself around tools.

As a long time gun owner but fairly new enthusiast, the biggest surprise to me about the hobby/sport is how simple guns are. The first AR I ever owned, I built out of parts. Earlier, I was reading that sight pusher thread, and I was thinking to myself, 100 bucks to install a sight you can simply drift in, I'm like LOL Id rather use it to buy ammo.

I swapped out my g34 trigger for the Zev adjustable fulcrum ultimate trigger kit. I really like it. Breaks clean. Audible and tactile reset, adjustable trigger. Love it. It's pricey, but so worth it on the G34.

I owned the Zev fulcrum trigger kit. I sent it back after a week of owning it. I didnt think it gave anything more than a well broken in FCG. My Glocks dont have over travel that bothers me. If I removed pretravel with the Zev, the safety would disable.

In the end, a lengthy break in, a heavier trigger spring and minus connector gets me where I want. The G34 already has a minus connector. For the cost of the Zev, Id rather put 1000 rounds through the gun, break in the FCG and gain more trigger skill.

As it is, my dry firing is already showing marked improvement.

Plus one on this!��

Yeah, no confidence in your knowledge and skills, dont do it. If you cant polish metal, you shouldnt be cleaning you gun either

Today I compared my G34 Gen 4 vs G34 Gen 3. I've dry fired the heck out of it and to me it seemed a "tiny" bit better. The Gen 3 was well used by a fellow shooter. We both compared the two Glocks. The overall finding was the same - both felt the same!

However, I did buy a G35 Gen 4 which felt really rough compared of the G34 Gen 4. Had a range officer try it who like Glocks. He told me for a new firearm, that trigger was about the worst he felt. Ended up selling it off in the end. So yeah, Glock can make some bad triggers too.

Tag for later.
Recently picked up a G35 and also comparing it with my G22 and G19.

I agree, production variances do happen. The FCG is exactly the same though between guns. You can switch from one gun to another, or replace it entirely for a few bucks. just sayin.

Yeah, it won't hurt anything. Two things that ruin guns. Low grit and high speed.

I've thought about tumbling the FCG. It's just a pain to remove the trigger shoe.

I like the Gen 3s
