do your own trigger job, its really very very easy and cheap as hell.  If you can flip on a dremel, you can do a nice trigger job!  you don't need a 250 dollar kit, 30 bucks in mods will get you a trigger just as nice.  go on the glock forums and read up, its really quite easy and it is fun!

well if you are so stupid you can't handle a few simple drop in mods and got the extra bucks, by all means buy aftermarket kits and pay someone to install them!  the glock trigger system is one of the easiest to understand and its not magic, simple geometry really.  some people are just not mechanically inclined.  I call them pussies!  well that or morons haha.  you gotta be pretty stupid to do a "mess up ur glock mod"

other then the springs you can swap out, there are only 3 parts to the glock's trigger really.

For real  :wtf:

So because this guy doesn't want to "Bubba" up his firearm he's "stupid", a "pussy" and a "moron"?

You have for to be the most ignorant person ever.

Your advice is to take a dremel tool to your firearm, with no previous gunsmith experience and attempt to do your own trigger jobs?

This person wants to buy a kit that has been designed, tested and proven to work, but he's a pussy for having more money and intelligence than you.

You know what I call people that can't afford to have professional work done and high quality after market upgrade parts put on their gun?

I call those people broke asses.


Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

I have seen a lot of F'uped trigger jobs come in and DIY fails.  Luckily we have a lot of smart people here who can fix it right.

There are advantages to using a professionally polished, fully OEM drop-in trigger assembly for a Glock:

1.  OEM parts don't void your warranty

2.  A professional can do it right the first time more often than not.  If not, you can get them to fix the problem -- saves money over fixing your own mistakes,  No matter how "smart" or "stupid" you might be, everybody makes mistakes when learning something new.

3.  If the new trigger doesn't do what you hoped, you can sometimes switch to a different one (depending on the seller's policy), or resell it and try another one.

4.  If you decide you liked the original trigger best, you still have it and can resell the new one.

5.  If you ever sell the gun, you can offer it with either one or both triggers.  You have the option of selling one trigger separately if the gun buyer chooses only one.

Sometimes the redneck engineering method costs more in the long run.  Believe it or not, some of us like to watch how it's done right, and THEN decide it we are willing to try the next time. 

YouTube only gets you so far...

It's a firearm, not a toy. It is a tool that may protect you or your loved ones lives and I can see why you wouldn't want to mess around with it yourself.

I am guessing that you are talking about over travel?  Glocks really do have minimal over travel from the factory but most kits have an adjustment.  By sponge, I take it that you are talking about creep or the gritty or crunchy feeling that can be seen in Glock triggers and by the nature of the inexpensive and mass production parts, some Glock triggers having more creep than others.  The polishing of the internals is just a way of eliminating that creep without waiting for the trigger to smooth out on its own in time with shooting.  Some triggers smooth out better than others with just shooting.  Polishing has less to do with lightening the trigger as opposed to removing the gritty feeling of the trigger.   

I have no issue with someone getting a drop in kit or having a professional perform a trigger job for them.  However do understand that the standard or base kits on the market today, Vanek, Vogel, Haley as an example are pretty much the same trigger jobs that many of us have been doing for years, it is just that they box it up as a drop in kit which simplifies things for the end user.  These kits utilize, yes polished internals (a form of a .25 cent trigger job), however they go beyond polishing just the mating surfaces (practical) and do a complete mirror finish (cosmetic) on the entire alloy surfaces.  They also include lighter connectors that are often "tuned" and usually come with lighter spring sets or interchangeable spring sets.  So yes you are getting a form of a .25 cent trigger job, lighter connector and springs.  You are however getting the experience of certain parts used in conjunction to get results, albeit at not a terribly high cost, but a good cost relative to the overall price of the weapon itself.

Don't poo poo the .25 cent polishing or other trigger job features for the Glock that you might see on youtube as that is the basic premise of the drop in kits, however you should perhaps look at the ability or experience of the person performing the work on the pistol itself.  So by all means seek a professional to either perform the work or go with a reputable drop in kit.

Be aware that just because OEM Glock parts are used, any alteration modification of those parts from their original state, which includes polishing etc, or if the owner or any third party disassembles the weapon beyond what is specified in the user manual the warranty can be voided.  And yes youtube only gets a person so far, especially considering the sources of the information provided.

True.  Glock also states reloaded and hand loaded ammunition can void the warranty.

    Your GLOCK pistol is disassembled beyond the instruction in Chapter 9 of the Instructions for Use manual; or
