Glock 34 trigger problems

[c3 rolling]

I own 6 stock 3rd gen Glocks and the 3rd gen Glock 34 I purchased 2 months ago has the roughest/crunchiest trigger ever. I shot about 2000 rounds and 1000+ dry presses through it and figured it would break in but it hasnt really improved. It came factory with the 5.5 connector but it feels heavy like a 7+ pound trigger press. I already did the .25 cent trigger job.

I tried swapping out the whole trigger assembly with my other broken in Glocks that have very smooth/light triggers. After the swap, my Glock 34 still has a rough trigger and the older Glocks with the new trigger assembly is smooth!! . I'm clueless as to what is causing the rougher trigger. I checked if the trigger is rubbing the frame but I cant see anything out of the norm. I also tried swapping the depressor plunger/spring and firing pin with no improvement. This is the first 3rd gen i purchased with the newer extractor and dull slide finish. Any ideas?

Make sure you you have the firing pin safety plunger spring seated in the plunger and not halfway bent inside the slide. I made this mistake before and resulted in a stiff crunchy trigger pull.

I replaced the trigger in my 34 if you want my stock setup to try out or have PM me an address to send it to.

Yea I already checked that a bunch of times and seems to be functioning correctly.

PM me, I will take a look at it if you want. I'm a former Glock Armorer, have alot spare parts. I'm in Castaic.

Do you have a Gen 3 G17? If you do swap the slides. This will allow you to troubleshoot the problem to either the slide or the frame.

Since you already checked the firing pin safety plunger, it sounds to me like you have something going on with the trigger housing. Confirm the trigger spring and disconnector are installed correctlly.

I thought g34's came with the 3.5lb connector?????

I would take the slide apart and look at the striker and striker spring maybe something is up with that. I've heard of guys with this issue came to the conclussion about it being a bad or messed up trigger spring which can sometimes be touchy....

Have this installed and a $.25 DIY on the trigger. Glockworx race Connector (Zev Tech) works fine for all of my Glocks. Some don't give good reviews on MidwayUSA because I believe they don't know what they're doing.

Trigger was rubbing too tight on the frame maybe? I would check every moving composite (plastic) parts. They can be roughly finished when rubbed. They get fibrous. Supposedly, the other way around for steel/metal.

Anyhow, let us know if you find a "cure". We would like to know what causes it.

Do you have an orange NY2 trigger spring?

My G34 with the 5.5 connector is the LEO version. I cannot change to a 3.5# connector as this is my duty weapon and all parts must be stock parts with a 5.5 connector. All parts are installed correctly. I tried swapping out the plunger and spring with a brand new one right now. The trigger seems to have improved a tiny bit. I can actually hear an audible click while taking up the slack on the trigger now.

Also, I've noticed if I repeatedly press the trigger without letting it break, the trigger presses become rougher and rougher. I'm wondering what causes this.

Lastly, when I take off the slide, is the safety plunger supposed to always stay in the down position?

c3 rolling, have your department armorer go over it. Personally, I would send it back to Glock. I have been running Glocks since 1992 (at the rate of about 12,000-15,000 rounds a year) in almost every model they have made, and have never even heard of an issue like this.

Ya unless it's malfunctioning, I figured the dept armorer wont look at it. I guess I should have it looked over. I wish I can say I'm being picky but it just doesnt feel right.

Maybe you have a burr on the connector where the trigger bar contacts it. Replacing the trigger assembly wouldn't fix that.

Have you tried swapping the slide with a G17? From what you are describing it is either the firing pin block spring or the trigger spring. It sounds more like it is the firing pin block spring. Make sure it is installed like this picture:

I'll be in Santa Clarita this coming week if you'd like me to take a look at it. I've been working on Glocks for a while now and may be able to assist you in tracking down the problem.
