Today I put about 150 rounds through a G30 and found the trigger to be annoying and uncomfortable after the first 100. I'm talking specifically about the trigger "safety" which is a thin blade in the middle of the trigger. What the hell is with this design? (I'm new to Glocks, sorry). This was a brand new G30 with stock trigger. Is there something that can be done to make it more comfortable or at least get the thin blade to be flush with the face of the trigger when pressed?

Just send it my way that should fix things ...
You can sand that safety tab down so it does sit flush just take your time and be careful doing it.. or buy a spare to practice on there cheap.. |

Never has been a concern. Great shooting pistol with an OK trigger.
Can be made better with a 25 cent trigger job. Even better with a Ghost trigger. (Rocket with a Spaulding cut). |

Of all my handguns, the shittiest triggers are on my Glocks.
Feels like pulling on a barbed wire. Few rounds down range and finger is sore. I have to check if aftermarket offers something better. I've had it with their pointy, knife sharp triggers!

First get a G21 trigger and get rid of the ribbed trigger and go to a smooth face like the one in your pic OP.

My trigger finger would usually hate to see anything over 100 rounds with the stock trigger. With the newly installed smooth trigger in my G27, me and finger could probably shoot all day! This was the best parts swap I've ever done to make a significant change in one of my pistols, and one of my EDC pistols at that. Works just as well as she did before, and no....not much change in the pull or reset. With my dry firing function tests, I thought there might be some change, but live fire proved otherwise. Great mod for the baby Glock. Hate to think I hadn't done this before now actually. Thanks NY27 for the post up on it. You and luvmyglock both have inspired me to try a couple of things now on the little ole G27. She now sports a fully polished barrel and the new smooth trigger. I'm just here to say, tried, tested, and implemented.........good mods!

This is an interesting suggestion. I googled it and found this: http://www.defensivecarry.com/forum/defensive-carry-guns/57169-smooth-trigger-glock-17-a-2.html#post848203 It is one of the first things I change on my compact/sub Glocks. On my G19 when I bought it I popped the ribbed trigger out and dropped in a new G17.4 trigger I had in my backup parts bin. I despise the ribbed trigger with all of my being because when I go to the range I normally crack off 250-500 rounds and the ribbed is not comfortable in a prolonged shooting session. |

Was wondering why Glock would purposely put such an uncomfortable trigger in the G30 so again I googled and found this:
Q-Can I change my trigger on a compact or sub compact to the smooth style?
A-Yes, you can. The serrated triggers on the compacts and the sub compacts are to get the pistols through customs, as they are "target triggers" and give the pistols more points for import. Otherwise they are identical. So if you are getting your finger rubbed raw by the serration, just change to the smooth style trigger w/ trigger bar for your pistol. |

You could get an aftermarket trigger. I was having the same issue and just picked up an Overwatch flat trigger for my 26. Between the Zev (on a 19) and Overwatch that I have, I am digging the flat Overwatch Tac trigger on my G26 so far.

Is it possible to save a little money and buy the smooth trigger by itself without the bar? I can't seem to find it listed by itself on the usual sites. Is the Glock 42 trigger interchangeable with the 44? It looks like the 42 comes with a smooth trigger (I'm guessing because of the smaller "sporting" caliber), and I assume both of them are narrow than a standard Glock trigger. Thanks!

Thanks, I figured that was probably the case (that you had to buy the trigger and bar set). One of the various discussions linked here mentioned the trigger being an "$8 upgrade" or something to that effect (vs. ~$14 for both), so that implied to me that the trigger might be available separately. No worries, I'll just end up with a spare trigger bar in the parts box.

I do not have have very soft hands and the ribbed trigger after about a hundred rounds pounding away at it starts to irritate my finger I also find that my finger moves around more because of the discomfort of the ribbed trigger vs the smooth. The other reason I change it is because no matter which Glock I pick up I want them to feel the exact same or nearly exact same as possible so I run the same bar, same connector, and same springs in all my Glocks. |

I have had the same experience with my finger getting severely irritated. Several years ago, I had a Gen4 19 that I couldn't stand to shoot for more than ~50 rounds, and didn't think to research the issue, and sold the gun because of this. I've never tried sanding down a safety lever, but I can't imagine a scenario where that doesn't compromise the overall safety of the gun itself. I will say that the aftermarket triggers I've used (Zev, Overwatch Precision) have all solved this issue immediately. There are several "you don't need that - the stock version is just fine" guys here, but I will say that in my humble opinion if it weren't for the "feel" of the aftermarket triggers, I would not be a Glock owner. I do own 4, and I love them all.
OP - I probably have a new G30 and a new G21 trigger in my parts box - I switched them out immediately after bring each of them home. IM me if you're interested. |

The Glck trigger is the single worst thing on the gun that makes it feel cheap.
The "safety blade rub" is there to make sure it disengages 100%. The blade stands proud of the trigger face when pressed. This is the single best $50 you can spend on a Glock: Kineti-tech Triggers. |

When they say sanding down the dingus they are not deactivating it they are sanding it down to when you apply pressure to the trigger it makes it flush inside of raised. |

Really what type of malfunction? Lets see..... Shrink tube stretches and allows the dingus to engage but not be disengaged, shrink tube slip up the trigger show and jams up the movement of the trigger, trigger snags on something while reholstering and when it would otherwise not be allow to move rewards because the dingus prevents now is allowed to move rearward and fire the weapon. It is a terrible idea but to each his own. Shrink tube is not a reliable way to execute disabling the trigger dingus. |

I wanted to follow up on my earlier question about whether the Glock 42 and 43 triggers are interchangeable. I've found lots of discussions about how the G43 trigger bar is slightly longer (2mm, I believe), but I can't find any definitive answer on the plastic trigger (shoe?) itself. I did see one comment indicating that the trigger pins may be different diameters. I'd like to replace the ribbed G43 trigger with the smooth G42 trigger, if that's possible. Not interested in spending money on an aftermarket trigger - I was just hoping that the factory triggers are interchangeable. Anyone checked into this? Thanks!

The shoe for all Glocks are the same size. You can knock a G17 shoe off a trigger bar and it will fit on any other Glock. I do believe you are correct in the G43 and G42 trigger bars being different. One team member posted a how-to swap the shoes on the G43 with a G17 smooth face trigger. |

Thanks a lot for clarifying that. I had thought that the G42 and 43 frames necessitated a narrower trigger - great to hear that I was mistaken!

Actually small hands, after the first shot in a string of fire my finger never leaves the trigger and it shouldn't slap you because it you are coming off the trigger more than needed to reset the action you are doing it wrong. Finger stays on the trigger and after the first shot during the recoil phase you Let off the trigger enough to get it to reset and not any more. There are some advanced trigger slap techniques used by very skilled shooters who do not ride the reset but this does not apply to the skill level 99% of pistol shooters are |
