Please someone explain this horrible trigger pull on this thing. Its a rather long pull, and it has to be more than 5.5 pounds. any suggestions?

Did you buy it used?

There are other trigger kits some people put in theirs.

All of my Glock triggers feel exactly the same.

i bought it used. I paid $352 for it. It already had nigth sights, stainless guide rod, and Grip plug in it, so it saved me from buying all that stuff. I have fully disassembled and cleaned it. I was just put off by the trigger pull. I have had many taurus's over the years and even though the double action on them is horrble, the sa is not bad. i had no idea how the glock system worked, and i did not ask. so my fault on that. I figur i will get that skimmer trigger from glocktriggers.com. It will work for me because i never carry with one in the chamber, so if the trigger is a little "light" it should not pose a problem as i will have to rack the slide before i fire. heres my to do list:
1: Trigger. i know i want to do this first.
the rest i want you all to help with.
New night sights, these are dim.
timberwolf frame.
threaded 9mm conversion barrel
polish or just silver frame
new zombie hunter back plate
9mm suppressor. probly last
and of course any suggestions from you guys would be awesome.

Watch both of these, I do this same trigger polish on all of my Glocks.

Why no round in the chamber? I am not trying to be critical but I don't understand carrying a firearm in this condition?

 

[STEEL CORE]

Take the slide off, do you have a trigger spring or an OD Green or Orange NY- or NY-2 trigger(s) installed?

Take it back to Bradis for Shooter 521 to add or subtract tigger springs and connectors to meet your needs.

You may have bought a Police trade-in that had a NY (New York) trigger system installed.

I watched someone almost shoot themselves in the head because they did not check the weapon. Just my personal preference, makes me feel better.

i was thinking that in the video, i do not have the spring that they do. it is an od green looking thing. does that mean someone could have put a heavier spring in?

Yes. You have the NY1 trigger spring in yours. Depending on the connector, that Glock either has a 7.5 lb pull or an 8.5 lb pull.

 

[richardraw316]

Yes. You have the NY1 trigger spring in yours.

please excuse my ignorance but what is a ny1? and why is it in my pistol?

It's a spring used by the NYPD to make the trigger pull heavier. It makes it 3 lbs heavier than stock. That Glock is likely a police trade in.

No wonder it is so freakin stiff. I was just about to lose any confidence in Glock. I literaly could not figure out how so many people like these pistols with a trigger like this. turns out its just my trigger.lol

If it's a police trade it could probably use a complete disassemble and clean just to check everything out.

 

[Cam]

Yep, NY1 trigger. I've got a couple of police trade-in 22's and both have that in them.

I don't want to steer you away from modifications, but have you shot it yet? I have found that the Glocks are pretty good right out of the box without need to replace things like the guide rod, etc. I'd recommend giving the stock configuration a chance before sinking money into modifications that really won't make it better, just different. My $.02

Good choice on pistols! I think you will like it and if not, you can certainly get back out of it what you paid with no problem.

I was looking online and found the ny1 trigger spring, thank god it is not orange= 12 pound pull, lol, can i keep the part that is od green and just put a lighter spring in?

Cleaned it last night, but did not take apart slide, now that i have seen utube video on how to do it, i will probly clean it tonight.
