I have an old G19 built in 2001, tested engagement with the orange half backplate.

What parts do I need to replace to return it to safe condition?

It has a Glock minus connector but is stock otherwise, is a carry gun.


Thanks,
Justin

You don't mention what the issue is exactly?  Is there less engagement between the cruciform and the striker than ideal?

In that case, you should be able to correct it by disassembling it down to remove the trigger and bending the cruciform up slightly.  Or replace it if you don't feel comfortable trying to bend it.

I read it three times, couldn't find any pertinent details and said, "forget it."

Sorry, meant to include that it fails the engagement test when you are checking visually.

Replace the trigger/striker parts until you get the result you want. Glock parts are cheap and plentiful…or send it to Glock.

If you don't want to tweak (bend) your existing trigger bar cruciform for more engagement, you can buy a "pre-EH" trigger bar that will improve it.

You could have a weak striker/ firing pin spring. Replacing trigger/ striker parts would be a good solution to your problem.
