Glock Maintenance Pins

These are great if you need to test and disassemble your Glock frame multiple time in one sitting. Such as adjusting your trigger shoe, trigger housing, or adjusting your connector.

They can be used to dry fire your Glock, to check to see if more changes are required. If there are, you can use the handle to easily remove the pins and make your adjustments.

DO NOT use for live fire!

When you are done, you can push them out with the factory pins or pull them out and install your factory pins and head to the range.

Pistol Deep Cleaning!

This is what I do for deep cleaning my pistols. I don’t want to get into the endless debate over how and when you should clean, that’s up to you. I am only showing what I do.

This is a shot of my setup before initial take down.

I use my Harbor Freight ultra sonic cleaner with a 30:1 ratio of distilled water:Simple Green set on heat for 16 minutes. 8 minutes flip / adjust parts another 8 minutes. Small parts go into a jar or solution filled zip lock bag.

Then I blow everything off:

Then I drop the parts in my Bald Eagle ultra sonic cleaner with a 20:1 ratio of Distilled water:Ballistol set on 122 degrees for 20 minutes. 10 minutes flip / adjust parts another 10 minutes. I put the small parts in a jar with the same solution.

I blow and wipe everything off then lay the parts out back on the work bench.

Then I put it back together and function test. Ready for the range.

Glock Trigger Shoe Modifications

Glock Trigger Shoe Back MeasurementsGlock Trigger Shoe Screw Measurements Front

The above are average measurements. It is polymer, it moves so you will not get consistent measurements. They are mass produced and can vary in size between batch runs. The trigger I had at the time had the above measurements. Yours might vary. “A” was my distance to the center of the trigger bar slot.

We want to get the screw hole centered in front of the trigger bar slot (A) left to right and at the height of the front curve.

You are going to need Standard Trigger:

 2 - 56 3/16 long stainless steel socket set screw 
 2 - 56 3/8 long stainless steel socket set screw for trigger bar
 .035 Allen Wrench
 #50 drill bit
 2 - 56 tapered tap

You are going to need Performance Trigger:

 2 - 56 3/16 long stainless steel socket set screw
 2 - 56 3/8 long stainless steel socket set screw for trigger bar
 .035 Allen Wrench
 #50 drill bit
 2 - 56 tapered tap

 

Using the #50 drill bit, drill a hole 9 mm down and center of the trigger bar slot. Make sure it is straight. I use my Dremel Drill press to do this. Slowly work the 2 – 56 tap through it.

Looks pretty centered:

While I am at it, I drilled and tapped the safety and trigger bar holes with the above tools and threaded in 2 – 56 x 3/8” set screws

Glock Trigger Safety and Trigger Bar Screws

Once I am confident that everything is setup correctly, I will seal the deal with Loctite 425

I modified the safety on this trigger as well

Here is what the trigger safety looks like unmodified:

There are 4 different cuts I am going to try.

Glock Safety Plunger Holder and Polishing

When polishing any small part like the Glock safety plunger using buffung wheels on my grinder the part would at times go flying out and get damaged or temporarly lost. To help with that I create and print the Glock Safety Plunger Holder. I have different versions for different models and generations:

Safety Plunger De-Bur and Polish

Glock pistols are mass produced using stamped parts. That is not a bad thing, just the way it is. Because of that, a part will sneak in with a less than desirable finish. I am of the belief that you should inspect all you parts for defects and burrs.

In this case, I found a bur on the safety plunger.

I filed down the burr with a small file, being careful not to remove to much material.

When it met my stringent standards I polished it up:

Compensator Install

A compensator is a muzzle device designed to reduce muzzle rise. A compensator will “compensate” for a firearm muzzle’s rise after you fire a shot, this directly affects follow-up shots because they help you recover your sight picture by shooting flatter.

There are many articles about what is best out there. We leave that up to you.

You want to make sure your compensator is timed correctly. Timing is simply insuring that the ports are properly positioned. With the proper tools and hardware provided with your device I can get you timed and aligned correctly.

Here are a couple Shots of what I do:

Glock Sight Install

We all know the factory Glock sights are notoriously poor, so let me replace them! I take a lot of care to make sure the sights on your pistol are installed and aligned correctly. I have a very nice sight pusher tool that drifts the sights on and off without the need of a punch or hammer. Using such a tool protects tritium vials from breaking, prevents marring of the slide, and the sights.

Here is a shot of a Glock 19 I did:
