The trigger is one of the essential parts when it comes to shooting. Whether you are looking to upgrade your standard Glock trigger or build a competition gun, a good Glock trigger kit can make a significant difference in the accuracy of your gun.
The best Glock trigger kits offer various pre-travel, pull weight, flat-face, and trigger reset options. With an improved trigger, you can shoot faster and more accurately.
Reduced Pre-Travel
The Glock trigger kit has been known to be a bit “sticky” and “spongy.” However, it can lead to consistent firing and consistency in precision.
Fortunately, several Glock trigger kits can help improve your firearm’s performance. These kits will reduce pre-travel, making the trigger more responsive and accurate.
Reduced Pull Weight
Trigger pull weight is one of the essential factors when upgrading your trigger. It’s a critical factor in safety, accuracy, and whether or not your pistol will discharge accidentally when it’s not supposed to.
The right pull weight depends on your shooting needs and personal preference. For example, competition shooters may prefer a lighter trigger pull to shave time off of their courses of fire.
However, a light trigger pull can also cause your gun to discharge accidentally. It is especially true if your handgun is intended for use in defense situations.
Reduced Over-Travel
A Glock trigger upgrade will reduce over-travel, which can cause the pistol to move off target after it fires. It can be very frustrating for shooters.
A reduced over-travel trigger will make your follow-through more accurate and consistent. It also eliminates the bump or glitch you feel before the firing pin releases, which can cause the shot to drift to one side of your pistol.
Shorter Trigger Reset
A Glock trigger kit is a great way to reduce your standard trigger’s pull weight, pre-travel and over-travel. It also improves the overall trigger performance of your gun.
One of the most significant benefits that a Glock trigger kit can provide is a shorter trigger reset. It will make it faster to shoot your next shot and increase your accuracy.
Using a short trigger reset is a technique that many instructors use to help their students learn to control their pistols. This technique allows them to fire their weapon faster and more accurately, but it does require practice and training.
To start practicing this technique, you can try a drill on the range to see how your gun’s reset feels. Once familiar with how your trigger resets, switch to a new magazine and practice taking shots. It will help you get comfortable with your trigger’s reset and establish muscle memory.
More Accurate Shooting
Replacing your factory Glock trigger with an aftermarket option will give you a more accurate shooting experience. It can be due to various factors, from the reduction of pre-travel and over-travel to the shorter trigger reset.
You’ll also find that many of these aftermarket options have a smoother and more consistent break and wall. They’ll also have a lighter pull weight than the stock Glock trigger, which can help to reduce muzzle flip and improve overall accuracy.
The stock trigger on a Glock pistol is made with military and law enforcement forces in mind, so it has a reasonably heavy pull. Unfortunately, it can make it difficult for shooters to be precise when using the gun, leading to poor marksmanship and a tragic outcome.
