Glock trigger kits can help shooters customize their guns to fit their needs and preferences. These kits can increase durability and reliability by reducing pre-travel or changing the trigger geometry by replacing the connector.

The Apex Tactical Action Enhancement Trigger is one of the best on the market and an industry standard. It offers adjustability for pre-travel and over-travel and has a crisp, smooth trigger break.

Pull Weight

The trigger weight is one of the biggest things to consider when choosing a glock trigger kit. A lighter trigger will let you shoot faster, which can be important in self-defense or when trying to hit precision targets.

However, a light trigger could also cause the pistol not to fire properly. This can be dangerous, especially in a defense scenario where the primer might not be strong enough to ignite the cartridge.

Another consideration is whether you want to keep or replace the stock disconnector with a new, lighter one. A light disconnector can reduce trigger travel and increase the pull weight of your Glock. A new disconnector can also improve trigger ergonomics and comfort. For example, the ZEV Disconnector has a smaller profile that can make your hand feel less cramped.

Reset

The trigger reset is an important factor in a pistol, allowing the shooter to take follow-up shots more quickly and accurately. A trigger with a short reset will allow the shooter to pull the trigger to reload and start shooting again more rapidly, increasing accuracy when using the firearm for self-defense or in tactical situations where follow-up shots must be fired as fast as possible.

Trigger kits can range in price from free by simply wearing the stock trigger to over $250 for a full-blown all-parts upgrade. It’s important to consider your budget and how you intend to use the gun before choosing a trigger kit. Some upgrades are easier to install than others, and it’s recommended that you have a professional gunsmith do the work.

Pre-travel

Glock triggers have a lot of pre-travel that many shooters find annoying. Some kits help to reduce this and also help to make the trigger more consistent.

Some also help to change trigger geometry by using a flat-faced trigger instead of the standard curved one. This can lead to a much cleaner break.

One of the best examples is the Agency Arms drop-in trigger. It has less pre-travel than stock and offers a very clean break but it is expensive. Tyrant CNC has a good option with its ITTS trigger for those looking for something more affordable. This trigger doesn’t require changing the disconnector or springs and is relatively easy to install. It’s also available in different colors to match your gun’s look.

Ergonomics

The best glock trigger upgrades have a way of spoiling you with their superior performance. Even a trigger shoe-only upgrade will improve your gun’s reliability, sensitivity, and ergonomics over the stock trigger.

. It replaces the disconnector, trigger bar, and trigger shoe for a smoother break and reset. It also reduces the trigger pull weight by about 1.25 pounds.

This trigger uses a gun-adjustable trigger shoe that is precision machined for maximum durability and features a curved flat-face trigger blade to reduce trigger reach (the distance from the trigger finger to the trigger face). This feature shortens the distance between your trigger finger and the center of the trigger bar, giving you a more accurate shot.

Safety

Triggers are the biggest line of communication between you and your handgun. A good trigger will feel crisp, have a noticeable point of ‘wall’ or break, and have a short reset. The type of trigger shoe (curved, flat, hybrid) and the disconnector will also matter to you personally.

The trigger connector is another important part to consider when looking for a glock trigger upgrade. It helps the trigger bar run and reaches a disconnector, which releases the striker to fire the gun. Different connectors can affect the trigger pull weight, grit, and overtravel. Ensure the trigger connector is compatible with your frame size and suited for your needs. It is also crucial to follow basic firearm safety principles and store your gun in one of the best gun safes to keep it secure.
