Bout damn time I find somebody who explains this stuff in good detail. I'm sitting here with my 42 pulled apart trying to understand what does what. Now I'm getting where the trade offs are with these trigger kits for glocks. Finally getting it
This is what's really so nice about a Glock. The firing system is so simple, it lends itself well to customization. I like a trigger with a little creep in it... Slack, creep, wall, bang, and a short reset. I like all my Glocks triggers to be around 4lbs. Not to light, but easy to shoot. I don't do anything crazy with mine, I polish them, add a 3.5lb connector, a reduced power, 4.5lb Striker spring, and a reduced power safety plunger spring. I've done this to all 5 of my Glocks, and they all pull about the same weight, and have the same feel. The Gen 5 G19, and G44 are pretty much identical. The G43, 43X, and 48 all pull the same. The thing I noticed about the 43 series guns with identical parts, is there is almost no creep in the triggers compared to the 19 and 44. Anyway, cool video, it was entertaining, and educational.
Just went an tried out the combat trigger I picked up last week. I swapped with another guy who had a 19 also. They were both glocks (mine is P80, but close) , they shot the same ammo, but they are not even close. Better trigger action and my accuracy improved. The guy wondered if something was wrong with his. So worth the money, not even a question. I lovvvvvvve that gun now. Thank you. Great meeting you too.
I’m a long time shooter/competitor/Certified Instructor/ armorer/hobbyist, but a late arrival to this . This is probably the most definitive video I’ve ever seen on the relationship of the Glock connector & the trigger bar…simply excellent!! 25:18
Commenting to help defeat the algorithm (I’ve got nothing else to say today). Thanks for continuing to make great content - always appreciate the education.
MAN Thank you sooooo much !!!! THE BEST DAMN VIDEO I HAVE WATCHED P E R I O D !!!!!! now i understand how the GLOCK trigger works i knew what the parts were called and where they went but had no idea how they worked togather and how they alligned and the difference between the generations YOU COULDN'T HAVE EXPLAINED IT ANY BETTER !!!!! CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH !!!!!!!
Thank you!!! I've owned glocks for 22 years now but never got fully into the mechanics till recently for anything other than cleaning. Bad timing, but im just diving into the world of building my own. Your videos are amazing and detailed. You and MGB are basically my college professors. Much appreciated.
Another great functional Friday! It’s like listening to a trigger smart brother when watching your videos Johnny! Very low key and comfortable. Thanks.
Absolutely love your competition trigger I just got. I had an agency arms and zen kit, massive improvement. No grit on the take up and just so incredibly smooth.
I wish I had found you sooner man. I'm going to call you Based Johnny. Maybe if TH-cam hadn't been suppressing your content I could have found it sooner. Keep up the great work. The knowledge you're sharing is invaluable.
Creeper @ 21:40 The last part of your answer to my question was in line with what my question was about, but the rest of the answer about the preparedness you've added to their lives is awesome.
Clear as mud 😂. Was considering taking a Glocks amorer’s course but after watching your videos I feel over qualified 😂. Might keep my money in my pockets and purchase JG trigger kit 😏
thank you again my friend and teacher😎🤠🤝 you say good for tools.dremmel and paper 1000,2000 ...free hands and time to spent on trigger and it is done. best is when one time on range my friend say when shoot from my 34,stop than and say,shit listen me now.i never like Glock OEM trigger but this is not same gun ,not like Glock brake trigger.what is that inside ?! I smile and say ooo that?it is my friend johnny inside my 34.haha...and think in my head,yesss thank you man💪👍
I think I had an “Ah ha!” moment when you started talking about the sear/striker extension engagement. If you hold the trigger back while the slide is returning to battery (going forward), the sear catches the striker extension farther back. IOW your rearward pressure on the trigger keeps the striker from returning fully forward. When you allow the trigger to move forward to reset, it is under spring tension and that is why you are skipping the first part of the trigger pull. (Maybe that’s obvious to everyone else, but it was an important connection for me.) “Shadow banning” is the unspeakable concept...
I bought 2 different LPKs for a 17 and a 26. My 17 has a super nice walled break and I love that but my 26 came with a different, less aggressive angled connector and its such a mushy rolling break and I absolute hate it. I've learned so much about the functionality of these masterpieces from your videos and it was enough for me to accept my triggers fate since its not exactly changeable without buying new parts!
That was a doozy you drop your wealth of knowledge into video saga I’ll gladly pay coming to a computer screen near you staring Johnny Glock the persona in the laws of trigonometry
Johnny glocks reminds me of the apeed guru on fast and furious one, the computer guy thats pretty much the tuner and brains of the whole operation.. except its with glocks and not toyota supras.. and thats fuggin awesome
#1- the 70’s want their 4 color clicky pen back #2- amazing amount of information that you have spent years understanding manipulating and perfecting #3- 🤔......this is why I bring my Glocks to Johnny to have the triggers done😂😂😂
Love this channel, literally my favourite but I’m missing something… so glock want a minimum of 66% engagement of the sear. I assume that is in relation to the factory thickness of the cruciform kick up. But if I modify the thickness of the kick up as shown, aren’t I just reducing the total contact surface area available? Yes the striker sear is 100% engaged with the cruciform kick up, but the contact area has been drastically reduced. So is it really 100%?
Must be the problem i had with the wolf - connector. Gun fail the reset and double strike every time with it in there. Factory connector no such poblems.
Hey, I believe in UFO’s. Another great video my friend. Looking forward to buying a combat conversion for my new Timney when Glock parts are available again. 👽
I have a question I've always wondered. Is the striker under spring tension? Like, when the gun it's loaded and inside my holster is the trigger bar on the striker holding it under spring tension? I understand your saying when you pull the take up out you're stacking the spring until break but with your finger off the trigger is the striker at rest?
In a stock glock there is primarily contact but not a lot of tension so yes it is under tension. With my trigger system there's more tension because I'm taking pre travel out which moves the trigger bar backwards. Thereby putting it under more tension
@@johnnyglocks ah! ok, I understand better now. Thanks man! I was wondering how you can take out pre travel while maintaining reliable primer det. You're essentially using the action of the cycling to preload the pretravel! 💡 Thank you
Kids don't have the Right to learn too? This is good mechanical engineering knowledge for kids. My father would have loved for me to be learning this kind of thing when I was younger. (Instead of getting into trouble).
Hey jhony love your work man😍can you please tell why my glock 19 x gen 5 trigger reset is so short that it bump fires some time and how can i fix this i searched for it across the internet but cant find any thing plz help me out😇
My connector is cutting into my slide idk y. I've adjusted it so far in it hardly resets but still grinding a Grove. Iv polished it iv tried everything. All my other ones also have a line on the slide but not nearly as bad they all look to be like the coating is wore off but the 1 bad one has a really bad Grove.
@@johnnyglocks ok ill try to make it more of a point or something so ther is less contact surface. Im wondering if its just my slide too soft or something I got it off ebay. It Was one of those blank slides.
Who carries with a trigger job? Genuinely wondering, I’m currently carrying with a Ghost elite filed to perfection. Seems fine to me but IDK suck good Info here
Have you ever seen the movie Appaloosa? Your search for words reminds me of the sheriff! Very good information. It would be really cool if you could get a cut-away glock
Johnny, just had you combat trigger and trigger shoe & plunger put in my Gen 2 19 by my smith. Wow. Quick ? To you after watching this vidio, why would Glock go 66 percent and not 100 percent. Safety wise, not reset.
Dude, you obviously know what you want to say but you jump around constantly and get off track. You need to stop making spontaneous videos. Write a script and stick to it. Can't wait for your book. Your thoughts are so nervous and jumbled it makes me anxious. What points you do explain are priceless. Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Spontaneous explanations simply aren't your forte.
The scary thing is I understand what your putting down! Wow, I am loving this. Light bulb is bright.

Rockstar!! Awesome as always! There is none better!!!
Love the content as always. Sometimes I have to watch more then once but always walk away smarter, Thanks Johnny G.
I would compare to V.D. Hanson but about Glocks. Two very educated individuals in their own fields that are great instructors.
Love the channel, went to the website, and signed up.
Absolutely love your competition trigger I just got. I had an agency arms and zen kit, massive improvement. No grit on the take up and just so incredibly smooth.
Best one yet. Thanks. Keep the Friday videos I watch everone.

I always hated geometry until watching your vids. Awesome info as always man. Appreciate the knowledge and thanks for the answer! #triggercontrol
Thanks for putting out all of this great content. I learn something new every time.
Excellent Video and Thinking (Explaining) Behind the Theory of the Glock Components
Wow! Excellent educational video. Thank you. Have one of your triggers on order
Johnny..just getting in to upgrading my g19 and g 23 triggers ..looking fwd to getting both from ya...love your videos
You do a great job of explaining and making ideas clear and understandable. Such a simple system with complex details.

Good stuff Johnny. Thanks for Functional Fridays.
New to shooting, but glad to help on the algorithm by commenting.
Amazing video. Never knew there was so much to glock triggers.
Fabulous channel! Great information always!
Great insight! Starting to understand the relationship of the trigger bar radius to the connector bar

Great video !! Can’t wait for the next !!
Always looking forward to your Friday videos !

Thanks John. Simple systems can still be quite complicated
Did they change the Crucifrom kick up angle on the gen 4
Must be the problem i had with the wolf - connector. Gun fail the reset and double strike every time with it in there. Factory connector no such poblems.
I’ll comment to help with the demonization
So interesting, but so over my head!
What if my trigger goes bang when it suppose to reset? What causes that the disconnector or the striker spring?
Hey, I believe in UFO’s. Another great video my friend. Looking forward to buying a combat conversion for my new Timney when Glock parts are available again. 👽
Awesome
Just saying this channel is fantastic … you should consider backup to another plat form.. thanks
Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge & your camera man KICK'S ASS, HE'S A KEEPER.

Do you have any of those polished trigger bars for sale?

The only thing better than a functional friday...is a funtional friday on the freedom platform, *RUMBLE!*

Polishing won't do anything you're going to need to reprofile that piece

Cool

Who dosent carry w a trigger job? Better trigger means more accuracy.
Geometry was never this interesting in school. 👍👍👍👍
Awesome video with so much information. You’re saving lives and changing the world for the better…. Glock by glock.
Why doesn’t Glock polish their triggers? It could add that much cost in quantity
TGIF!
Communication ain't easy
Have you ever seen the movie Appaloosa? Your search for words reminds me of the sheriff! Very good information. It would be really cool if you could get a cut-away glock
Increasing radius or decreasing radius......

And people assume because you use factory parts it's just a glock trigger. There's a lot going on.
Fran 5658 ask why don't you just don't work for GLOCK ??

Truly love your vids and your products, but shorten them to 10 minutes or less per video. 37 minutes is way too long to watch my friend.

I wish you’d practice your drawings and your explanations before you film. It’s confusing.
