How normal is it for a Glock's pull weight to vary considerably? I have a Gen 4 26, 19, and newly purchased 34. The 34 is noticeably (like 3 pounds, by feel) heavier than the others. Why is this? Is it just luck of the draw? Can it be remedied/mitigated?

I want to stay with all stock parts, and all 3 to have as similar a trigger pull as possible. There isn't any more grit/creep/mush than would be normal for a stock glock, just excess weight. Standard dot connector (blue label 34s don't come with minus connectors) and springs (no NY, etc).

ETA: Could this be the result of it being new, and the striker spring being stiff? Or is that a silly guess?

It's not unusual.

Glocks is Glocks.

Breaking them in will make some small difference.

But after that if you are still unhappy, change out springs or connectors to make it what you want.

25 cent trigger job smoothed up and lightened my 19 a bit.

I'm new to the Glock scene but one thing I did notice is no two Glock triggers feel the same. I've polished my 41 trigger parts to a mirror finish with a dremel (they come with a minus connector) Put a Ghost 3.5 in just for the hell of it and it feels the same.



My friend has a G19 and he tried to duplicate what I did to me 41 since its trigger felt so awesome. He put in the same parts and springs that I have in my 41 and polished them the same. What do ya know his feels completely different. So you just have to treat each one to its individual needs.

G34 trigger pull should be like 3.5lbs compared to other models (5.5lbs). If it's not noticeable lighter something needs to be addressed.

How a trigger "feels" is not always what the poundage actually is.  You would really need to find a pull gauge to see what's going on.  All Glock triggers will break in with time into a nice crisp break, but the Gen 4 trigger with a Dot connector is supposed to be very nice and crisp as is.  I would call Glock and ask them.  They may send you a new one just take care of it.  You may have just gotten a poorly manufacture one, as this happens.
