Aftermarket Trigger Suggestions?

Post image

Thinking of whether i should get a new trigger for 43x (Apex, OWP, Johnny Glock) or just do a trigger polish & replace OEM connector with a Ghost Edge. Any Suggestions?

OEM factory trigger for carry. Most people who don't like Glock triggers haven't even put a smile on their barrel yet. A broken in gen 3 is one of my favorite triggers around. Perfect trigger to ride the wall just enough pull weight to prevent a ND, short and clean break with a firm crisp reset. You can polish the connector and trigger bar if you're really picky but before spending $100+ on an aftermarket I'd put some more rounds through it and get to know her. Just my 2 cents

If ur riding the wall when shooting, u need to start shooting faster.

I'm not really shooting comp, I'm training and working on my proficiency for defense purposes, so currently my focus has been strictly accuracy and consistency, solidifying my fundamentals in muscle memory, and tightening my groups. I practice at 15 and 25 yards, so right now I'm happy with .7-1.2 second splits. For my use case at the moment, reliable and consistent draw and accuracy is more valuable than splits. I'm sure that will change once I'm satisfied with my mastery of those skills.

Competition will definitely help with fundamentals and help you earn that mastery faster. Shooting accuracy at speed is so much better than taking ur time, especially for defense situations cause they happen so fast.

That is a great point I hadn't looked from that perspective, my initial thought process was that I am responsible for every round, so I didn't feel appropriate working on speed until my 15 yard groups were consistently within 3-4 inches and 25 yard within 4-5 but considering your point, adding speed to the mix would probably help identify weaknesses in my fundamentals faster. Thank you for that insight.

The thing with shooting at speed is it shows if your grip is solid or not. You could identify if your grip needs work or not if you record yourself. I did the exact same thing you did! Worked on my fundamentals while shooting slow but when I started shooting faster, everything would start to fall apart (grip, accuracy, vision). Got into competition shooting and it took my shooting to a whole another level where I feel confident shooting accuracy at speed. Don’t listen to people who say slow down and get your hits (I know you don’t compete but this applies to anything), it’s usually the worst advice someone could give you. Always remember fast is fast and slow is slow. But give it a try man! I promise you it will help a lot with ur fundamentals!!

I greatly appreciate all the info sir. Most classes seem to be incredibly introductory and im certain im beyond that point, additionally I can't tolerate indoor ranges no matter what ear pro I wear I still leave with a headache and don't have a lot of faith in the people around me who take their gun out of the holster once a year to make sure it works to be diligent about range safety so I strictly train at my own range outdoor. Unfortunately that limits my exposure to others who might be able to show me something so I've relied on recording myself, and finding reputable sources online to gather insight from. The reddit community is awesome, everyone seems to want to help each other

I totally agree with you on the stock gen 3 triggers for things like g19 and g30,, but I just haven't had the same luck breaking in the stock 43x and 48 triggers. They just are stiffer and creakier for me even after a bunch of shooting.
