Ok I was cleaning my Glock frame. I know to stay away from the trigger. But I was cleaning the rear of the frame with a q tip and a arm/leaver poped up at me? I think I did push the FP safty (Round thing) before this happened. Anyway I think the Firing pin was retracted in and the trigger to the rear? I knew not to force anything and the lever went back down and the slide went back on the gun with no effort?
It operates just fine. Trigger safty, trigger reset, FP safty all seem good according ot the way the manual says to check them? So what just happened? |

First off, no you didn't damage anything. Second, there is no logical reason to "...stay away from the trigger". In fact, you should consider learning about your Glock and while you're at it, crisp up your trigger by doing the following. All you need is a 3.5# connector and a Competition Trigger Spring for a lighter and crisper trigger. Most of the pre-travel and all of the over travel will be eliminated and you'll love your new trigger. Best of all is that its both cheap (about $20) and so easy you can do it yourself. 3.5# Connector: I've tried Glock, Scherer, and Lone Wolf 3.5# connectors in my Glocks and Lone Wolf's is the best hands down because it gives you the best 'break' with less take up and over travel. The other two connectors left a mushy feel in the trigger. You can get it from Glockparts.com for $15 HERE. Comp Trigger Spring: The Comp Trigger Spring is a higher weight spring (6lbs vs 5lbs) and because the spring works with you pulling the trigger, not against you, the higher spring weight gives you a lighter and crisper pull. Glockparts.com has them for $5 HERE. While you’re at it, give your Glock a 25¢ trigger job by following the instructions HERE. Its really quite simple to do and you’ll be pleased with the results. For instructions on replacing your connector and trigger spring, as well as disassembling your Glock, check out Glockparts Disassembly Page. Just click "Disassembly" on the left of his home page. They give instructions with photos to help you do it. Glocks are simple to work on so give it a try. |

Wasn't there a thread where A guy had multi-fire with the $.25 trigger job? I'm wondering if this is going to be like the Springfield trigger jobs. People's triggers are wearing out and double firing. |

Ok? Does that damage anything? Oh and where is it so I know not to go near it again? No, you didn't damage anything. It's fine.  Click and Vini: Now that is funny  I had not though ot if that way I just know I was sitting there swabbing it and the darn part flew up toward my face!! The basement probably has never heard such language and my declaring im going back to 1911s!!!!
Thanks COSteve but I like the trigger the way it is and im a little cautious about messing with such things. Like I said I did all the checks in the manual and it seems to work fine. Thanks for all the responses. I have a bit to learn about these little gems
