...is a process.
I bought a Glock 22 about 20 years ago because of the light weight, high capacity, simplicity, rounded edges, and it's overall great design for a carry gun. Then I sold it because I hated the trigger, overall feel and balance, and bought a Les Baer 1911 and never looked back. Until Now. The availability of aftermarket parts caused me to look again. I have been watching Gunbroker for some time for just the right piece, and I think I found it.
I bought another Glock 22, used with most of the custom work done: Hard chrome slide with ball mill cuts along the top, front serrations, and lightening cuts. Titanium Nitride coated barrel, Chrome extended slide stop lever, full grip reduction with agressive stippling, and an undercut trigger guard. Don't you love letting someone else pay for expensive custom work?
I took it to the range and shot it side by side with a new (to me) Browning Hi Power that Cylinder and Slide had redone the trigger, safety, hammer, and sights on. The Glock still had a crappy stock trigger (8.5 pounds!) and I still couldn't hit very well with it.
The group on the top is the Browning, and the group below is the Glock (first time I'd fired either gun)
But, the stippling and slide lightening really improved recoil control and the speed of shots, as well as making it balance and feel better in the hand. I just needed to address that trigger.
So, I recently picked up the Pyramid trigger from the Glock Store. Full assembly with new firing pin plunger, Titanium Nitrided coated as well, and installed it with the 2lb spring provided, and boy is it sweet. The new assembly improved the pre-travel, over-travel, and reduced reset length. According to my gauge, the trigger breaks now at 3.75lbs.
I just put it in today, and plan to hit the range tomorrow to try out this hot rodded range gun that should make shooting a Glock fun... (instead of just practical)
FYI - The Glock (pre pyrmamid trigger) and the Browning HP from the day the targets were shot
