The answer is very simple.... Accuracy! The lighter the trigger pull the less the muzzle will move as you pull the trigger through to fire the pistol. The fact is you are attempting to steady an object that weighs around 2 lbs at arms length while simultaneously pull against the trigger with a force between 5 and 8 lbs. once your sights are aligned on the target the lighter the trigger pull the less the muzzle will move before the bullet exits the chamber, resulting in a more consistent accurate shot.
Besides weight, what else is done to my trigger?
Our trigger jobs can include a polish and spring kit
upgrade.
While
installing the connector all metal components are inspected for burs and other
factory imperfections. Any imperfections are stoned downed and polished. All
metal-to-metal contact points are also polished to ensure a smooth consistent
pull every time. This smoothness in the trigger pull eliminates the “glitches”
commonly felt in the pre-travel of the trigger, resulting in a steadier pull.
Upgraded spring kits are also installed to achieve the
desired trigger weight. For most weapons to be used primarily as self defense
or carry weapons, an increased striker spring is added. This increased spring
will increase the force at which the striker impacts the ammo. This aids in primer
ignition even with less than average ammo. Increased trigger springs and
decreased plunger springs may also be utilized to reach the desired pull
weight.
Okay so now I understand but, Will any of this affect my safeties or warranty?
The answer to both of these is NO! All of the safety mechanisms in the pistol are left in tact and are not altered at all. We are certified GLOCK armorers and all work is done in accordance with GLOCK's lifetime warranty.
What if I wanted to try this myself what should I buy?
All you need to do a trigger job yourself is just a few things. First chose a trigger connector that will best fit your needs. Many of our triggers require no fitting and simply just drop in. Other triggers such as the rocket and tactical connector do require some minor fitting, therefore require a little more mechanical inclination. Second, chose a spring kit that best fits your needs. Are you making a self defense style trigger or one more fitted for competition. Third, make your life easier and your job go smoother by ordering an armorers kit. These can be found in the parts/tools section.
