Glock Trigger Shoe Modifications

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.

Front Shot:

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

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.

Never cut off more than shown in the last example.

Here is the start of my testing:

Here are is a before shot:

I am trying to show the firing pin face in this one. Notice the grooves:

General Cleaning / Shine polish to all areas. Careful not to remove too much from the YELLOW areas and the firing pin tip.

The Face area is what you want to get butt ass smooth.

Glock Performance Trigger Tool

Putting the trigger bar back in place on Glocks performance trigger is a PITA. I created this very little tool to help out.

Get Yours HERE!

Instructions:

Here is a quick Video:

– Push the Trigger Spring with Sear-holder up

– Slide the Performance Trigger Tool through the round hole, opposite side of where the trigger bar will slide in

– Push the Trigger Spring with Sear-holder down, holding it in the down position ensuring the spring rod pushes on the slave pin.

– Install the trigger bar making sure that the lower extension / pin is in the Performance Trigger Tools open hole.

– Slide out the Performance Trigger Tool

Ready to install!

Glock 48 Dry Fire Thing

I want to do some dry fire training without having to rack the slide each time. I created my own version of the zip tie or cardboard hack for Glocks. Google it, lots of info out there.

It is a low profile and in my opinion a bit ‘cleaner’ so I can use all my holsters, without any other changes to the weapon.

With this method, the trigger no longer has reset and break. Instead it just moves freely back and forth. It is not ideal, but allows dry fire training without cycling the firearm.

Glock Trigger Jig Update

I did not like the way the trigger housing moved when manipulating the trigger. So I added a brace. I printed it with tree supports that need to be cleaned up before using it.

Works pretty good!

Appendix Carry Wedge – Harry’s Holster

I want to start appendix carrying my Glock 48. At the time I am writing this my current go to holster manufacture, Alien Gear, does not make an appendix holster for the Glock 48 MOS so I went with Harry’s Holsters, Singleton line. I also purchased the Dark Wing Right Hand and the Comfort Wedge Small, as both had been recommended while doing my research. I am VERY happy with the Holster and Wing, The comfort wedge….not so much. The reviews on the site are spot on with my findings.

“Foam to soft, flattened out, does push weapon closer to body somewhat but would have hoped it had been more dense as in previous product photos, so disappointed in the sponge.”

Here is what it looks like out of the packing:

I was not paying attention when I ordered and thought it would be a denser material shown in older reviews. This is how I fixed it for me.

I had a Harbor Freight Anti-Fatigue Foam Mat laying around. I cut a few pieces to the same length and width as the comfort wedge.

Then Gorilla glue and a clamp:

I made 2 versions, one with two pieces and one with three.

In the center is Harry’s Holsters Comfort Wedge for reference:

Stuck on the hook side of hook and loop (Velcro) on one side:

Not very pretty but functional. No one but me will see anyway.

For me the double stack is working out great!

If it continues to work out I might clean it up a bit and cut a curve at the bottom to help it slide in place better and clean up the sides. I will post if I figure out the best way to do it.

A set of 4 mats from Harbor Freight is $9.99, I used ~2 inch top slice of 1 mat. I had the Velcro and glue on hand.

Hope this helps someone out!

Glock 48 Rail Mount

The glock 48 front rail is smaller than standard rails making it much harder to find anything that fits it. To help remedy this I made two slide over versions:

Picatinny:

And a Mantis X mount:

I would not use it for EDC / real world use. I made it to mount my Mantis trainer and various lights to see if I would like them on this weapon.

I plan on making a more secure version soon.

SpringCO Recoil Management System

I just picked up the Recoil Management System, Versatility Kit from the great folks at SpringCO for my Glock 19 Gen 5. I wanted to show what I did to get it installed. It was pretty straight forward and easy to do.

Here are the parts that came in the package.

SpringCO Glock Recoil Management System Whats Included

I am going to install the Green 13# spring. As this is a non-captured setup I will be trying the 15 and 17 pound springs in the near future and keeping the one I like best and works best for my situation.

SpringCO Glock Recoil Management System what I am installing

Remove the existing recoil spring

SpringCO Glock Recoil Management System remove the old

Make sure the Guide Rod Forward Bushing goes in with the small section forward as show in the picture:

Here are a couple more shots of what it should look like:

SpringCO Glock Recoil Management System Bushing Direction 2

Front:

Slide the spring you want to use on the guide rod:

SpringCO Glock Recoil Management System Bushing slide on the spring

Place the spring in the Guide Rod Forward Bushing and carefully push in place. The guide rod will fit into the hole in the bushing.

After everything is lined up everything will fit like the original.

Front shot of how the bushing should look:

There are several videos that explain what is going on with the system when it is installed. I wanted to share my experience getting it installed.

Glock Trigger Jig

A quick jig to hold your Glock Trigger for maintenance and / or training. Kinda cool to pull the trigger and see how things work.

Also good if you are doing something like the 25¢ trigger job. See how everything is running before you drop it back in.

I include the white trigger pin file ‘Glock Trigger Jig Pin.stl’. I just use one of the extra pins that come with the back straps for the trigger housing pin. I print it with supports, round part on the bed.
