First Glock experience

[Boost Lee]

Did you check to see if the Glock had an aftermarket trigger made of the sharp end of a nail? If so, that's your problem..........

And not that I hate Glock because I don't, but I certainly don't think the trigger should have felt that nasty.
Honestly, unless something was wrong with it; maybe you just had an awkward grip on it.
Were you pulling with the very end of your finger or was half of your finger inside the trigger guard?

Oh no, a constructive criticism thread against Glock. Air drop of tissues in 02 minutes.

I have noticed that even when fully depressed the trigger safety on both of my Glocks sticks out further than the face of the trigger. I usually fix this by taking some sandpaper and rubbing it until I take just enough off so that when the safety is fully depressed it sits flush with (or just below) the face of the trigger.

This does not alter how the safety works, or the "safeness" of the gun, just trims it up to feel like a smooth trigger. with this modification I don't even notice that I am disengaging a safety at all when I pull the trigger and I don't get a sore finger after a few boxes.

I have 3 XD's and really like them, but my new G36 Glock is a keeper too.

The only Glock I have shot was my brothers g17 and it hurt my finger to shoot it and I bet this is the fix. Despite the trigger hurting my finger my next purchase is going to be a g19.
I own 2 xdm's and really like them but I definetly need some Glock in my collection. Thanks for this fix!

I've heard of limp wristing a Glock, but this must be the first case of limp fingering I've ever heard of!

I've noticed same thing on my 26. I still like my Glock, but LOVE my HKs, no comparison (for me, my hands, my accuracy abilities). Trigger bite (what I call it) is bad enough, the 26 will likely be my first/last Glock. Never felt same bite w/ Sig, 1911 of any brand, XD or XDm, HK, or CZ.

Sounds like one of the "infamous" NY triggers.. If anyone is interested PM me, I can fix that relatively painlessly.

LOL. You guys are funny! I am over the half century mark and have worked with my hands for 40+ years. I do NOT have tender fingers. Even the owner complained about the trigger but it is his issued weapon. He has to use it. I do not have any problem with any of my other pistols either, .22 to .45.
Now excuse me while I go do my nails.

Great sense of humor, "tender fingers." Rep at you, sir.

Glocks don't sell too well in San Francisco.

My future son in law carries a Springfield XDM 9.mm, I carry a Glock-23. He is happy with his choice, and I with mine.

I just bought a G21, it does not hurt my finger, at all. The only thig that hurts is the price of the .45 ammo.

I have used Glocks for years. I don't ever remember my finger hurting. I will admit the trigger is different, but it could be the weight they have put on the trigger. My new Glock has a 5 lb trigger. Nice.

Guns should be about fit. If it don't fit, don't get it.

Lol I am a proud owner of four Springfield forearms and I love my gen 4 glock 26

I can't wait till Glock starts making replacement body parts. I will go ahead and coin the term "ROBOGLOCK" now.
