Viking Armory – Veteran Owned and living the Dream
I want to provide an update to the GlockSmith block . With this latest version I changed the way the Glock trigger housing is held down. I removed the printed square “bridge” and replaced it with a brass fitting and a thumb screw. This will allow better installation and usage of the trigger tool portion of the block. Will work with all Glock triggers.
Everything else on the block remains unchanged.

Here is a handy place to inventory and store your Glock parts
These trays are a great place to store and inventory your Glock parts. There are 2 high quality trays, 1 for you Slide (Upper) parts and one for the frame (Lower). Our Glock parts trays work for all Glocks. They stack when empty for convenient storage.
The Glock parts storage trays are great if you are working on multiple Glocks at the same time, lets you keep each Glocks parts together.
They stack for easy Storage!

DETAILS
The GLOCK Performance Trigger meets the criteria for those looking for an enhanced trigger pull and ergonomics, all while utilizing a flat-faced trigger and maintaining the same safety features of the GLOCK Safe Action System.
The GLOCK Performance Trigger is now compatible with 9mm Gen4 pistols. A Gen5 slide cover plate now ships with all GLOCK Performance Triggers, as an included replacement for Gen4 models that ensures compatibility and proper function. The GLOCK Performance Trigger will not come installed on any factory models. It is available as an accessory only and must be installed by a certified GLOCK Armorer. GLOCK does not recommend any aftermarket modifications to the GLOCK Performance Trigger.
Trigger Pull Weight: ∼ 5lbs.
Fits: Gen4 and Gen5 models G26, G19, G17, G34 and models G19X, G45, G47
Here is a picture of the housing and connector as it is out of the box.
After a little work this is the polish I got on the trigger bar.
Other side.
Pay special attention to the surface that rubs the connector.
Also extra attention should be applied to the surface touching the safety plunger. Remember, you a polishing, careful not to remove too much material.
The factory Trigger shoe comes apart the same as all Glock trigger shoes.
I modify the safety as I describe HERE
Then put it all back together and install it!
Go Shoot!
I want to provide an update to the GlockSmith block . With this version it has a trigger jig and small parts storage. You can remove and install the trigger pin, remove and install the firing pin cups, adjust your connector.
Also included are top and side working pin storage
I added pin storage on the side. I put them there when I am done.
Modified all the pin holes so the factory pins can be used and wont fall all the way through.
You can use the Glock pins I sell
or the factory pins:
This works for all the pin holes.
You can pick one up On Ebay or Etsy item only has the pin included
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.
Pickup your set HERE
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.
Pickup your set HERE
Do a basic polish. When that is done put a very slight bevel on the face of the ledge.
Side Drawing and Picture of connector before:
Very slightly bevel the face of the ledge.

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:

Using the polishing items in the notes HERE I did the example below:
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.
