A buddy recently bought a new Glock 45 acp in "SF" configuration. Since I've abandoned my personal ownership of the marque, have not been following recent developments.
He asked I shoot it & offer comments. He had added a rubber grip contrivance I'd never seen, a sort of thick rubber band around the upper grip area and gave some added support to the 'thumb web area' around the back of the frame, changing the grip angle just enough to make it actually work decently for my old O-frame needs.
While the plate rack fell often enough to both surprise as well as satisfy what ~I~ would expect from a carry gun, the trigger was more than wretched Glock tradition. The little dangly-down safety actually was abusive to my finger pad regardless of position. After 4 magazine downrange, I had to give it back to him.
His inquiry was about the potential for improving the trigger. He's a long term revolver guy, and also quite satisfied with the 1911 style geometry. He admitted the only concern was the same trigger complaint, and he doesn't know what do to improve it.
The pull weight isn't all that big, it's the engagement issues of the safety mechanism.
Given the numerous replacement triggers on the market, who has personal experience with improving that aspect of the Glock? Please specify what maker/style/modification you found effective and beneficial.
