Re: Glock Trigger For CCW
I just polish up the surfaces and leave it stock. Mainly becuse I like how it performs that way. breaks somewhere around 4.5-5lbs.

Now since it has been mentioned, dont think for one second the trigger pull weight has any relationship to avoiding a accidental discharge. The ONLY thing that prevents that is proper weapons handeling skills.
THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO DISCHARGE A GLOCK, PULL THE TRIGGER. If your shooting yourself reholstering then follow the basic safety rules and remove you finger from the trigger guard and off the trigger.
This is something the New York State Police trigger assm. started many years back and most folks didnt understand the dynamics. Police Officers were transitioning from revolvers with a 12-18LBS double action pull to a 5LBS pull. The problem related to training, not equipment. The heavier trigger pull was a crutch for years and many bad habbits were masked. These habbits grew very pronouced with a lighter trigger. To be fair, some of it was also a differant firearm system, staging a double action revolver just prior to a shot was more common back then, another thing that didnt transition to the lighter glock trigger.
Not a single ounce of pressure, not even touching it, should be done unless your are justified and prepared to use deaply force.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: attherange</div><div class="ubbcode-body">+1 for leaving carry weapon's trigger box stock, you can change sights but for liability reasons the trigger should not be modifyed in any way, that goes for using reloads also.</div></div>
Technically, the trigger has not been modified, it has been adjusted.
I think folks are over looking the largest liability, shooting another person ? How that is acomplished within reason is much a mute point. And heck aftermarket sights could be brought up too. Much of these changes are easy to explain.
Why were the factory sights changed, because the front POS plastic sight broke off during training and it looked like my holster ate it.
Why was the disconector replaced? Because the weapon had a 8lbs trigger pull that made it very difficult to hit the target. It was replaced to fit my needs and imporove accuracy. I want a accurate weapon as to not endanger anyone else.
To the OP, I think you should find a trigger that fits your needs and train with it. I am a huge trigger snoob, but if there is no other reason the personal preference, shoot it. I polish mine becuse there are some god awful burrs from the factory. these burrs are hard on other parts too. I have seen G17 conectors almost cut in half on some well shot Police guns that had bag burrs on the trigger bar. They can be made to shoot cleaner very easy with factory parts. And for all the liability nazi's, my gun isnt polished its well used.............
