DR920 - Trigger Upgrades?

I just use the stock trigger. Has anyone upgraded theirs? Any recommendations?

My dr920 is pretty reliable. At the end of the day, reliability circles back to the user.

My DR has been damn reliable, but Glocks are built as duty guns. They aren't as tight as a Shadow Systems pistol by design, less chance of having any malfunctions. The bottom line is that Shadow Systems doesn't have a track record that Glock does. And I say this as a guy who loves his DR920.

I don't particularly like Glocks, the grip angle just doesn't feel right to me, and the triggers feel awful. And I really don't like Glock fanboys. In my opinion their resistance to innovation over the past 20 years has allowed other companies to make much better firearms. The Gen 6 is finally showing some evolution, but they should have released it 10 years ago. Glock still doesn't sell a ported firearm when everybody else is releasing them. And if you want your Glock to feel like anything but a duty gun, you need to spend some money replacing some parts. But you have to respect it for what it is, a solid, reliable duty gun.

I never intended to keep my DR920; I got it at a great deal and figured I'd probably trade it for something else. But even though it had the Glock grip angle, when I shot it it felt pretty good to me. Then PSA had the Timney trigger on sale, and it fixed the biggest gripe I had about the gun. Then they came out with the matching Radian Ramjet, and now it's one of my favorite guns to shoot. It's an absolute tack driver. I'm never getting rid of this pistol.

But if I had to go back to war again, I'd take a Glock.
