Glock Performance Trigger (GPT) Polish | Cleanup

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

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.

Glock Performance Trigger Bar Safety Bump

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!

GlockSmith Block v2

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.

or the factory pins:

This works for all the pin holes.

You can pick one up HERE

Get the pins with it HERE

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.

Glock Connector polishing notes

Do a basic polish. When that is done put a very slight bevel on the face of the ledge.

Very slightly bevel the face of the ledge.

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:

Glock Polish Job – Firing Pin

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.

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:

Plunger Holder.stl:

Glock Gen 1-5 Sfty Holder — Plunger Holder.stl

Glock Gen 1-5 Sfty Holder Reverse — Plunger Holder.stl

Gen 5:

Plunger Holder Shallow.stl

Glock Gen 1-5 Sfty Holder Shallow — Plunger Holder Shallow.stl

Glock Gen 1-5 Sfty Holder Shallow Reverse — Plunger Holder Shallow.stl

Gen 5:

Plunger Holder with Lip.stl – I am testing this one out. I added the lip to see if it would help hold the Glock Safety Plunger a bit better…

I usually print these up when I have just a bit of filament left. Then toss it in a drawer till needed.

Timney Trigger Glock Install

Here is a recent Timney trigger I installed. This post is not to show how to install it or review it. There are plenty of articles on both out in the wild. This is just to show what one of my installs for this product look like:
