What would be your reason for purchasing it? Are you worried about the alleged "mush" in a OEM Glock trigger? Instead of a $108 dollar part, I would just go with a 4.5 lb connector at a cost of $20.

A waste of money. Seriously, just get a 3.5 connector and you will be fine.
(now called the 4.5 connector)

Get the Vanek trigger bar and leave the rest stock.

Do a search on ".25 cent trigger job" around the web.

Learn the mechanics of your tools. What a lot of these "trigger job" kits are just doing the job that you could do yourself.

But . . . if you never changed your own oil in your car, fixed a broken lamp, got the money and need someone to butter your own bread, give the trigger kits a try.

The 3.5 connector and trigger job is well worth it imo. However, I did see a new connector from Glockmeister called a 5lbs Tactical, which reportedly removes the slack and mush, giving you a crisp break and short take up. I haven't tried one yet, and at $25 I probably won't, but I'd be interested to see if they work. If they do it would be a quick and cheap fix for the mushy trigger. However, to get a clean break that's smooth a trigger job is a must.

Steve, if you're ever in or around Anaheim let me know, I can do the trigger job for you.

well as far as my tools i have a tig, mig,aymmetrical car lift, 20,000 in snap on
and do lsx edit as a hobby.i believe i am very proficient with them.Back to the question. my son bought me a g21 as a retirement gift last sept.my son asked me why i rarely shoot it? i told him it didnot feel like my 1911s or my sigs with srt.he bought me the trigger for my bday last week.so maybe i should just toss it and do a twentyfive cent trigger job?

Just save your $, it's a dam Glock. Go shoot 1,000+ rounds through your pistol and everything will get nice and crisp guarantee.

[steve92407]

a 1000plus rounds is a lot more than a 90 dollar part.

30 minutes doing a polish job is the cheapest way to make the brake crisp, but it won't remove the "mush" that's there.

[Briancnelson]

Yeah, but you got to shoot 1000 rounds and you get the trigger for free, so, bonus right?

Yes, I have been on GT since January 1999 at #19, before it was even Glock Talk, but all that means is that there are more people now with Glock questions. There are probably 2 approaches to triggers. Personally, I just put in the 3.5 lb connector and run the guns. When they reach 50,000 rounds, the trigger seems normal. Actually I had a G21 that was nice out of the box. The other approach is to stuff in a GlockWorx adjustable trigger for about $250, or get a Dale Rhea factory 2.5 lb trigger for about the same. Everything else you can do is in between. And try as you may, you cannot turn a Glock into a 1911, so if that is important, stick with your 1911. Doesn't seem to matter that much to Dave Sevigny....

Most trigger questions are from newbies, looking for a magic fix.

We have a gun here in the shop that has a LS trigger bar and it's trigger has been totally reworked.. its one helluva trigger but its only good for target shooting really.

For general purposes I'd suggest a 3.5 connector (LWD brand hopefully..lol), Wolff 6 pound trigger spring and a LWD ultimate trigger stop. It'll give you a great overall trigger.

Here's a pic of the LS triggered gun...
