It's pretty simple to change out the serrated trigger for the proper smooth, I've got a bag full of those stupid serrated triggers that I've changed out in my parts box... http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=535394 |

Whats the big deal with the serrated? One of my Glocks has it and I couldn't even tell you which one, thats how much I don't even think about it. Put a couple hundred rounds through each in a day and I guarentee you will know which one. The serrated will chew up your trigger finger after a while. You won't notice 20-50 rounds, but much more and you will. I changed all mine out the last time OMB had a sale with free shipping. Cost me less than $14 to do each pistol. edited cause I can't speall

| I can't stand the serrated triggers. They aren't anything close to the fine serrations on a 1911 or a MKII. The serration is too deep and irritating. I change mine out for smooth triggers and then take a round file to the flat safety to match the contour of the trigger. I finish off with 400-1000-2000 sanding and then you have a great feeling trigger. |
