And a tshirt with a stupid flag on the sleeves. Makes a much better shooter.

What you don’t know about the GPT relating to EDC. After 10k of rounds it will drop from 4.1.2 to 3.1.1 pounds as it loses its tolerance. During COF’s like shooting on the move you can trigger a double tap. Thought maybe a fluke but it happened to my training partner as well. So be prepared to replace the dot connector with a fresh one if you shoot that many rounds. Had the same issue with apex and overwatch. These days I prefer the Johnny Glock. Tungsten rod from Glock store came apart during a COF. Extended slide release and extended mag release are good upgrades. Of course replaced sights and use a 507. Extremely happy with ramjet/afterburner. 100% no issues on my G45.

Hardly anyone bats an eye at putting in a upgraded trigger in an AR.

I got the Kagwerks extended slide release because my grip kept interfering with the slide lock on the last round. Installed it, and haven't had the same issue again. i wish it weren't 50 bucks but it works perfectly.

I changed the barrel and guid rod on my g43. Works flawlessly. Never fails.

I'm over 60 and like most folks my age, I need reading glasses, which makes it hard to focus on iron sights. I've gone to red dots and for me they are a life saver. You do need to train to learn how to acquire the dot on your draw. That's not hard and not expensive (you can do it dry in your basement), but it does take time and effort. I put a minus connector in all my Glocks. The Glock performance trigger is reportedly good, but also apparently starts to fail if you don't keep it clean. I put the Glock extended slide release on all my Glocks. It's cheap, it works, and using the slide release is faster than using an overhand pull of the slide. For all you "gross motor skill" folks, the term gross motor skill comes from child development research and refers to skills that involve the large muscles of the body, like your thighs. Both grasping the slide and pushing down on the slide release lever require using the small muscles of your hand and wrist and by definition are thus fine motor skills.

My only upgrade over the years has been night sights for my 19. I don't mind the stock sights, but as my "all-purpose" pistol, I felt that was a useful upgrade.

I'm definitely on the same page with this guy. Until recently I ran the 3.5-pound trigger bar, extended slide (and mag) release on my G17 - all factory parts, installed at the facility in Smyrna, GA. After some issues with my dominant eye, I bought a PSA Dagger with a Holosun optic. I like it so much that my G17 is currently at a gunsmith getting the slide milled for the same model optic. Nothing against the shooters that like to doctor up their pistols but, for me, I want it as simple and as close to original design as it can be. These 3 mods should be all that most people need.

For a duty/full size pistol? Yah, you’d be stupid not to run a red dot now. I know people will jump on me for this one, but for ME, the irons make more sense on my edc.

May as well carry the most functional gun you can. But for EVERYDAY carry, it’s important to choose a gun that isn’t only concealable, but also something that will help you build a habit of constantly carrying. This means sacrifices in functionality need to be made for comfort. You shouldn’t need to prepare an outfit for going to 7/11 at 2am.

We all have to balance our willingness to carry that particular gun cc every day with the specific capabilities of that gun, along with our abilities.

I have a green dot scs and just got the GPT. My first GPT group at 25yds was incredible how much it improved. 9/10 in a 2" grouping with one flyer about 2" away. Better than Ive ever shot.

Glock's triggers were quasi-double action, given that the trigger both moves the striker backwards and releases the striker. This enhanced trigger changes that so that the striker is already fully cocked and the trigger just releases it, like most other striker fired pistols. I liked the quasi-double action trigger because I felt like I got the safety benefit from double action, while still being accurate (enough).

Great Advice, Appreciate It.

My list of 3 things. I will add Trijicon night sights. They have colors in any order you like to help you pick up sights quicker/easier. I also buy the plain slide and have it milled for a Holosun 507CX2G and if it’s for a smaller frame Glock I buy the 507K in green. After having it milled it fits onto the gun with no base plate and I cowitnees and by having it milled my iron sights are behind the optic for a cleaner sight picture. It actually does make a difference to me. I do a trigger polish nothing more. That performance trigger probably does help in a shooting range setting but in a real world scenario I doubt you’d see much improvement if any.

Unfortunately, the Holosun 407K/507K will not bolt directly onto the Glock Slim slides, as stated at 11:30. Glock uses a RMSc cut which has 4 alignment lugs, the Holosun 407K/507K only use the two forward lugs. A spacer plate is required or what i prefer to do is the grind off the rear lugs, then shorten the front lugs by about 0.020". That will allow the Holosuns to mount directly, and about an 1/8" lower than using the spacer plate.

Ah so THAT'S the real reason they don't just replace the stock triggers. Geez even when they try to innovate they really just spinning tires. It's a shame, Glocks are actually really good weapons but they just have to be dragged kicking & screaming into iterating their products with what everyone else is already doing, better I might add, they make no attempt to really innovate & move their designs forward.

Coming from a Canik and buying my first Glock I bought the $100 trigger upgrade for my G19 5. after only 200 rounds. At 900 rounds I changed it back to the stock trigger and didn't notice any difference and don't know why?

I'm interested to try that performance trigger for sure! For everyday use and defense, you're spot on in my opinion. Too many like to take a decent and reliable machine and introduce multiple potential points of failure. One exception I made was for my Glock 40MOS. I ended up swapping to a barrel featuring a tight supported chamber because I handload at full power, and the brass expanded too much in the stock barrel. Thanks for the video!

That's the same design as the Timney Alpha Glock trigger, separate sear and trigger bar, works great.

I agree with you on your list of three.

I'm onboard with all of these upgrades and have one or more of them on my Glocks. I also have a backplate with the "Wu Tang Clan" symbol laser etched on it. It has improved my shooting.

I don’t replace Glock trigger parts, but I do polish the contacts. Makes a world of difference.

@@jamesbevan9989 cool story. I have access to an Instron. It has nominal effect on pull weight but the increased smoothness between parts can be seen on a line graph comparison between polished and unpolished trigger pulls. Regardless, polished parts make the trigger function smoother and FEEL better. The feel of a trigger is %90 of the game here. People spend a lot of money for the feels.

My first handgun was a G17, and the only thing I changed on it was the trigger spring. I’ve gotten away from flocks for my carry gun, but I’ll always love that 17. People talk crap about Glock, but over a thousand rounds and only 3 jams that were user error. Pretty good record.

I got a ghost 3.5lb trigger years ago and had issues with it. I had to slightly bend it to adjust it, and then it had worse issues that prevented it from releasing the striker. At that point, to remove the upper, I had to remove the backplate and a few other parts, then I could take off the upper to get to the trigger connector. There's definitely a sweet spot for adjusting that connector in order for the trigger to work as expected. I'd also highly recommend a mag well and a flashlight. I got the lock brand flashlight, but I don't know if there's a holster that is compatable with it. That performance trigger sounds awesome tho.

Why does a Glock not come with a performance trigger? Two words: marketing.

My Glock mod kit list: 1. I replaced the factory U sights for some tritium 3 dot sights 2. I got myself a Stream light TLR-1 HL 3. Noticed my hands were sweaty while shooting so instead of paying for a stipple job I purchase a set of Talon Grips for 20$ it’s basically grip tape for your gun. I’ve had it on my Glock for about 3 years now. Still going strong.. 4. I watched the Tac Tv Glock torture test video from Larry and he sold me on the idea of the Glock grip plug.. I know it’s not necessary and some argue it could trap debris in the gun ect.. but imo I liked the idea and I think it’s kinda preference. So I got myself the Glock butt plug.. had it installed on my Glock for about 3 years now.. hasn’t caused any issues the internet claims it will…

My first gun was a Glock. I went overboard with the cerakote and stippling, but I kept the internals as stock as possible with the exception of the ghost 3.5lb conector. Never mess with the springs inside of a Glock: no lighter trigger of reduced recoil is worth the loss of safety and reliability. I would only add that changing the stock polymer sights is another worthy upgrade, specially if you want to cowitness with a red dot. The only changes I made on my brand new G40 were a holosun SCS and a TruGlo TFX fiber optic / tritium front sight for backup (kept the adjustable factory rear sight). Normally this kind of iron sights wouldn’t be tall enough to cowitness, but thanks to SCS’s low profile, now it’s possible.

You could have reset the stock trigger to 3.5 . Empty the mag, rack the slide, pull the trigger; dry fire, hold the trigger down and rack the slide again slowly let the trigger up your 5.5 is now 3.5

Great vid! Only thing I've ever changed out on our MANY Glocks is the sights. Now you might have me also looking into the Glock trigger. I've obviously adapted to how they feel but if there's something from the factory that can make it a better squeeze you/they have me interested.

Yup, perf triggers went into my two Gen 5 Glocks (G19 & G45) immediately after I test fired one. It's a night and day difference from the stock trigger and I can see Gen 6 Glocks coming with them *standard* in the future. Red dot on the G19 MOS, but I kept irons on the G45 since the slides are interchangeable between the 19 & 45. I did put better irons on the G45 though. Glock extended mag and slide releases have been on both of them since the day I bought them with no issues because my hands wrap around the grip pretty high without hitting either one accidentally. Other than that, everything else is stock in them and I've never had issues with either one. Now that shltacularly craptastic POS all-plastic Sig Romeo RMR for my Sig P365XL was tossed into the garbage when it would *not* zero at all. I'm on factory night irons on that one until I examine other red dots for it.

@@presidentmerkinmuffley6769 my understanding was that each action caused by manipulation of the trigger determined if it was SA or DA. The striker moving back, even if it is slightly, is a separate action from releasing the striker. It used to confuse me that the glock was labeled a DAO pistol.

@presidentmerkinmuffley6769

Ай бұрын

@@alexmacdonald2743 When dry firing do you have to manipulate anything other than the trigger in between trigger pulls? If the answer is yes, then it is not a double action trigger. As a double action trigger both fully cocks (or recocks) and releases the striker or hammer. Two different and full actions on one pull. Basically if it was actually DAO the dry fire mags that recock the system wouldn't need to exist.

I appreciate the sentiment. And my 43X only sports a TLR7 sub and 507K. My G20 only sports an X300 and EFLX. That said, my 19 and 47 both house Overwatch TAC triggers, and Kagwerks high rise slide releases in addition to their lights and optics. Breaking a shot at 50y with the Overwatch is night and day compared to stock. While stock triggers are fine and I can shoot them competently, the Overwatches are just too good to pass up on a carry/"offensive" pistol. And the Kagwerks releases are also money for keeping gloved hands or off-platform grip from dropping the slide on the last round. You don't NEED a whole lot of the crap you see on Glocks. I agree there. But I also think the purist "GLOCK IS FINE AS IS COMRADE" philosophy is overstated.

I am running a bone stock 48 mos.... I will definitely start looking at optics 👍🏼💯

My favorite Glock upgrade is one that doesn’t change the way the gun functions. The extended slide lock bar. Makes disassembly easier for me.

The Glock minus connector with the olive New York spring makes a really nice carry/combat trigger with a really positive reset, and that setup is actually endorsed by Glock themselves. It's the best thing I ever did to my Glock, pull weight feels the same but more consistent, and the positive reset is really nice.

Metal sights, ammo, and glock mags. That is all that is needed

I have a Glock 47, upgraded the sites to steel night sites, added a holosun scs, and Glock performance trigger, shoots great

Great information 👍🏾

"The sights are a place holder." Direct quote from my instructor during a GLOCK Armorers course. Funny bit was it was one of the few classes that was open to civilians but including myself, there were only four present. I did get to see the Gen5 and the new trigger, as civilians can't normally get the new stuff in CA.

Johnny Glock modded Performance Trigger is so sublime. You've talked me into it. I'm going to replace all my triggers with performance triggers.

5:35 The trigger engaged required compression of the striker spring makes the original trigger safer. It requires the firing pin to move back before it can go forward. One of the reasons why I like Glock.

I have an SCS and I love it! Although it is ALWAYS on never turns off on me. I have had it for 5 to 6 months and only turned it off when I first got it to "charge it" but now I don't worry about it and it is always there when I need it

That’s it and I’ve never had the problems my buddies have with aftermarket triggers and other parts affecting reliability. Pretty simple! Cheers!

All you need is upgraded sights, a mounted light, and a quality holster that can fit the gun and mounted light.

Glock performance trigger is a must. Threw one in my 19x and man! Night and day difference. Love mine. I did throw the vickers tactical slide release on my 43x MOS and 19x. And an extended slide lock on both. Of course I have a red dot on my 43x.

Ive changed sights and on occasion I have swapped a barrel. I have a glock 33 that I swapped to a 9mm and put a kkm barrel in it and ordered some glock 9mm mags its seen over 5k rounds and has never given a single issue. I did swap the barrel on my Gen3 glock 20 to a kkm barrel mostly because I shoot some pretty warm rounds and it helped get rid of the case bulge I had been getting. I don't mess with anything else.

I’m on a limited budget so I can either buy ammo or a decent red dot. Got to go with the ammo but maybe one day I’ll get an optic.
