| What is the standard trigger pull weight for a Glock? |
| Glock measures the 5.5 lbs at the tip of the trigger where there is more leverage. Measured where your finger actually pulls the trigger (the way everyone else measures them), it is more like 7 lbs. Same reason a 3.5 lb connector does not give you a 3.5 lb trigger pull. |

Quoted:
I bet if you took 20 off the shelf of any given gun store and tested them they would average around 6-6.5# IME I have picked up a few I thought to myself  this is new it will get better ...... I believe that is why I have got great deals on used Glocks because most cannot push through and keep shooting it.
My G30SF trigger was stupid crappy Glock trigger. Replaced the reset spring and just shot it a few hundred times and it came to me and felt like a Glock trigger should I suspect it is why the 425 price tag was on it. |

I daresay many people buy a gun, put a bulk pack from Walmart through it, and then either put it in the safe or sell it. Which is a shame, because a Glock trigger can be quite good, with some polishing and some super cheap parts. |

All of my Glocks that have all stock parts with the standard connector measure 6.75-7 lbs. measuring from the center of the trigger and that's after a few thousand rounds through each. |

Or a bunch of ammo, all the mags including the 33rd, a bottle of lube, and a few jugs of water for the sweat it will cost you at the range in 104°F. Wearing it together at the range is so much more fun than polishing. |
| My ex LE G22 from somewhere in the midwest had a crappy trigger. It averaged 7 in the center and felt like gravel.The connector had a stamping burr on it that had dug a groove into the trigger bar, probably from day one. I cleaned all that up with a file, polished the usual spots with some crocus cloth and that got rid of the gravel. A 3.5 connector helped even more. |

Most people don't even put a bulk pack through them. Take them home, load them, and put them in the sock drawer. "Sure it'll work - it's a Glock."  I would identify anyone who did something like that as being potentially suicidal. All polymer frame pistols need to be broken-in with an absolute minimum of at least 250 - 300 fired rounds. (In my own plastic pistols I do between 500 and 1,000 fired rounds before I'll begin to trust and/or carry the pistol.) The correct spot to measure a gun's trigger pull is in the center of the trigger's face - Nowhere else. It's difficult to get an exact figure; what you're more likely to get is an operating range. Factory Glocks triggers most often break between 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 lb. |
