Glock 35 trigger

[Lead Waster]

Stock Glock triggers are all over the place. My gen2 21 had such a mushy trigger it really put me off shooting (it was my only handgun for a decade). I have a G23 (gen3) that has a strangely crisp trigger. I don't know why and I don't question it, I just enjoy it. Other Glocks have typical triggers. It's luck if you get a good stock Glock trigger (combination of all the parts together).


But if you want a nice trigger, then you should ahve picked up a PPQ or VP9 since you were SSEing anyway.

15 round mags is why I SSEed the G35...

I know I won't be contributing much to the thread... But I would just get used to shooting a stock Glock. It's far from terrible and not difficult to do.

I always contemplated some kind of trigger mod but then I come back to the fact that the trigger is completely fine as is.

I've heard good things about the Zev trigger and was the route I was contemplating going.

I will characterize the Glock trigger as acceptable but it is far from fine. The Glock's trigger is the reason I am consistently less accurate with a Glock than with the Baer 1911 or the P7. The long pull and slight grittiness at the end disturbs the aim. Not by a lot. I can still punch a 2" group at 7 yards all they long. But I CANNOT punch a 3/4 in jagged hole with it. This is perfectly adequate accuracy for defense and perfectly good enough for knocking over steel plates. But, it can be better. On dry firing exercises I cannot pull the trigger without the front sight wondering around a tiny bit with the Glocks. I can keep essentially motionless on the 1911 and on the P7. Mechanically, ALL handguns of ANY reasonable quality will shoot into one jagged hole at 7 yards, but the Glock is not helping me with my part of the equation.

Honestly, I don't find the VP9 any better. The PPQ yes, but not the VP9. For a striker fired gun, the P7 is king of the hill. The pull is short, light, smooth. There is quite a bit of over travel, but that is easy to remedy with a trigger stop. But, I understand that the P7 has fully cocked striker from beginning to end of pull, the trigger is only acting to drop the sear (and move the firing pin block out of the way) so it is easier to have a superlative pull... Still, I think the counter spring assisted DAOs which is what the Glock, PPQ, VP9, PPS, M&P, xD, etc. are can be better than the factory Glock setup.

The G35 can't use 15 round mags. Glock 15 round mags are too short for the G35.

Edit: Oops. I was thinking 9mm for some weird reason, not 40. It's probably because I mostly run 9mm through my 35.

Yeah, if you have tons of old Glock 22 15 round .40 mags it'd be a good reason to look at a G35. I've been looking at the Gen4 G35 uppers lately.

I like experimenting with the connectors and appreciate a lighter crisper break and great reset, but I shoot all the Glocks well. They are very shootable and just fine even with the stock trigger for sure.

OK, I finally paid for and got inline for an SSE Glock 35 G4... I only want a high cap semi-auto if I can use high cap magazines and G22 mags are all that I have so G35 is really the only choice for the last SSE buy.

Anyone knows what can be done about Glock triggers? I couldn't stand the G22 when I had one -- the pull is long, kinda mushy, kinda gritty, not all that light and had lots of over travel. The G35 used to have a lighter 3.5lbs trigger, but the G4 gets the standard 5.5 lbs fare. I want something with reliable ignition, but as light, as short and as little over travel as I can get. Money is not an issue -- I spent too much already so I may as well go for broke.

Uh... OK... I take that back... let's cap the cost of the trigger at $500 or less.

After doing several trigger mods to my gen 3 G35, I was still not satisfied. Did a lot of forum searching and installed the Pyramid trigger. Easy installation and AMAZING results. Crisp/clean break, shorter reset, and a consistent 4-4.2lb pull. Comes with 2 springs to change the trigger pull, went with the heavier of the 2. My G22 is next and I'd do my 26 if it were not on my permit. Worth every penny.

I put a Zev Fulcrum trigger in my G34 gen3. I adjusted out all the take up so when you put a little pressure on the trigger, you are at the wall. Break is clean and reset is short. It has about a 3.5lb pull now. I took the striker spring and reduced it by 2 lbs from 6 to 4 if I remember correctly. Added a Tungsten guide rod with standard spring and that helps with muzzle flip.

Since it's a range/comp(hopefully) gun, I figured may as well get it as good as it gets. The trigger is the best of anything I own. I shoot my G34 much better than my 1911 SA RO that I just got.

Enjoy.

In order of preference (my preference):
TTI Grand Master 3.25 Kit connector, no other springs installed
Ghost Rocket
ZEV V4 Race
Ghost 3.5 Ultimate
Factory Minus
Dot

I tried a ZEV V4 Race. I still like the TTI better, but they are nice.

I like the Zev Fulcrum trigger I had put in my Gen3 G35.

I tried out the ZEV trigger, it seems to weed out the issues the OP has with the stock Glock trigger. However, I felt that the reset was very weak, almost couldn't feel it. I will continue to run broken in stock triggers in my Glocks

[himurax13]

I am going to eventually go with the Zev Standard Trigger kit with the extended striker and stainless safety plug since I like that setup on my Gen 4 G34.

The original trigger that came with my 41 was almost 8 lbs and was far and away the worst Glock trigger I have ever felt. I was bored so I bid on a Glock 21/41 4th gen trigger bar on fleabay for $5. Won the bid, polished that and the minus connector and now the trigger pull is 4.5 lbs with all stock parts. It is not as good as some of my stock Gen 3 setups but its close.

[Port Authority]

I like the ZEV trigger kit in my G36.

Drop in trigger, trigger bar and trigger group.

Way less stroke, crisper break and shorter reset, not that I use it - it just makes for a shorter stroke overall.

Also I really like the wide flat face that takes alot of the extra weight off the feel of the trigger, since you're not feeling the weight on a smaller portion of your fingertip.

My G35 Gen4 says 4.5lb on the box. My G41 says 5.5lb.
