In this installment I go over the trigger housing and all it's comprised of along with some nuggets for all you modification buffs. enjoy and have a great weekend
I always wondered why the trigger on my LE trade in G17 Gen 3 was so terrible... Now I know it's because of that stupid "New York Spring". Very helpful videos, as always!
Watching all your videos I now feel like a glock smith! I have already polished smooth everything, filed the dingus flatter, (gen3 17) feels smooth but that wall is so stiff still. So much pre travel too I want to put set screws in! I like to build so thank you for the knowledge!
Really diggin these Functional Fridays. Thanks for putting these together. I'm looking forward to the video series you mentioned at the beginning of functional Fridays.
Magic...While I'll never attempt these mods, the understanding gained in these videos is priceless. Meanwhile I just put Johnny Glock parts in my guns with more appreciation for what they and the Man behind them are.
These videos are fascinating, with the quickly improving 3D printing, I wonder if you could just print redesigned trigger housings where you move and shape the window, eliminating the set screws.
Would be interesting to see how the tuned tap screws movement between Pre to Overtravel affects the sear over striker safety percentage ratio. Perhaps another Friday..
I swear to god, there's a meme to be created out of that shitter door wide open and that dude waggling around with guns at the beginning of every video.
I never would’ve focused on the plunger/striker interface or the striker reset by the vertical extension. I also have a much more clear understanding of how the left leg of the cruciform moves in the trigger housing window. Don’t need to know this stuff, but I’ve always enjoyed understanding the functioning of machines.
Another great episode of Glock goodness. Is there a possibility of Timney triggers mods coming?? The reset is definitely funky. I have one in a G17 Gen 3 with 500 rounds. Out of the box running with an OEM connector is was a spot on 3.5 pounds, now 3 lbs plus or minus. Definitely a competition or range toy trigger.
Great Video , apologies if I missed it , but what would happen if someone were to forget to put in the trigger housing pin? I've found a few blogs on people (myself including) forgetting to putting it back i right after changing the backstraps when first purchased.
I completely forgot about wanting to get your trigger. I was so wrapped up in the Apex because I got the apex Tactical action enhancement for my 509ct I just got the same one for my gen 5 19 from bdu. It's ok it lightened it a bit and with all the polishing I've done it's decent. For 100$I'm kinda disappointed I think if I polish the apex it will get even better but it's got some type of slick coating or something
Do you still use the trigger set screw as the best way to take out the pre travel? Or do you still; modify the front of the trigger housing with a set screw etc.? BTW can't wait to see your new extensive video coming soon,! Glad to see ya partner with BDU! Stay safe and God Bless
Is there a possibility for a line of JG trigger blocks that are pre-made with those set screws? I feel like id be ruining a lot of housings before i got it right with bits and taps that small
Just got my first glock a g23 gen 3, brass on my hat every few rounds and 1 FTE and 1 FTF , wich ejector upgrade would you recommend? Being theres 2 gen 4 model ejectors? Kind of let down being my xd has never malfunctioned..
Newbie here and After shooting my 43x I’m not fan of the trigger so I Looked on your site and wondering Is the 1st trigger in video the one ya get with the combat kit or or is it the upgrade one Also can I just buy trigger shoe for my 43x and use my Ghost connector?
Yeah I called and emailed Glock asking for help and I explained very clearly the issue and parts I was having issues with. Some of which were aftermarket but I was looking for a solution and how my slide was locked back with the slide stop lever not engaged on my gen 5. I simply asked them to help me figure it out and they just said "Glock doesn't recommend using aftermarket parts". I'm like "ok... but what's causing it? I just would like some help figuring out how to fix it. I took the back plate off, took out the striker assembly, safety spring (I was worried about the the plunger and extractor dropping somewhere into the trigger housing) but a Glock armorer and I couldn't figure it out on the phone so I reached out to Glock. The guy said he couldn't help me because I used aftermarket parts. I'm just dumbfounded as I was just looking for a solution. Problem was the gen 5 safety plunger had caught and caused my slide to permanently lock back. I could power rack the slide, move and engage the trigger, all parts worked and moved but I could not get Glock to even try to give me some insight on their products. The Glock armorer had never seen that happen in his 20 years of gun smithing on Glocks either and was the one who told me to reach out to Glock. I guess an aftermarket barrel and backplate will make them not want to help you.
Johnny I can’t find an OEM trigger housing, would you recommend any? I was looking at lonewolfdist, what do you think of them? I need one for my Glock 35 gen 4.
Question on poly80 and ejector switcharoos. If you’re using a Glock oem slide, would the gen5 ejector matter on a gen3 top with a poly lower? I don’t understand the reasoning unless it’s just a “thing” now. 🤣. Happy Friday - Glock on 🇺🇸
I get the pattern aspect. Didn’t know if it was starting to be a go to upgrade for all models or if it was reasonings due to poly80 specs. Thanks for all responses!
Awesome video. Lenghtening the shelf in order to enable an extreme short reset is a smart idea. But doesnt that interfere with the engagement of the striker safety? I mean when the reset is that short, isnt the tap of the trigger bar so far in the back that it always presses the striker safety down?
Is 10+1 exceeding Glock's 43x specifications? My 43x stovepipes on the first round when running 10+1. Remember, loading 10 rounds, then clambering is 9+1. Mine will run 9+1 all day long, but not 10+1. I know this isn't a 43x video, but I'd bet I will get some good answers here. TIA.
Mr. Glock, maybe you can answer my question since both Timney and Glock have been thoroughly useless and in capable of answering what I thought would be a simple question. What ,if any, difference is there in a gen 3 model 27 trigger group and a gen 3 model 22 trigger group? I'd like to install a Timney with your heavier springs in my 27, but can't find an answer as to why a model 27 isn't listed on the Timney site, or what if any work around there would be if the trigger groups aren't in fact identical. Thanks
It's because the 27 is a subcompact and considered a defensive weapon. This is a competition setup therefore they do not want a competition trigger in a primarily defensive model. Those are the exact same trigger assembly for the 27, 23, and 22 as long as they're the same generation that is
What’s with everyone obsessing over pretravel? Even my apex equipped PPQ has some and stock allot and you need it to know how to stage it or know where the break will be. I just don’t get it
How in the hell did Johnny turn a boring, mundane part like a freaking trigger housing, and turn it into an interesting, 32 minute video? Honestly, I was tempted to skip this one..."It's a freaking HOUSING! Why would I want to watch a video on that???" Wow, was I wrong. Thanks, Johnny!
In your pre-travel reduction video your technique for reducing pre-travel was to go in from the top of the housing… Since then you’ve clearly discovered an objectively superior method of reducing pre-travel by breaching the safety shelf from the front of the housing and using a set screw, rather than a coming straight down through the top with a roll pin. The reason this method is objectively superior to the old method is pretty self evident… By coming in from the front with a set screw it allows room for adjustability, where a roll pin from the top doesn’t really.. Now you are essentially limiting pre-travel the same way that you’ve been limiting over-travel for years…. But that doesn’t mean that the thousands of trigger jobs you’ve done using the previous method were “hack jobs”.
If there's anybody out there that knows how to get the Locking block pin out of a Glock 42. I'd search TH-cam for days. I put in an extended slide release from the Glock store. So it's not the OEM Slide release and now I cannot get my locking block pin out. I push down on the Locking block pin and with all the muscle I have in my body. It will not budge. Please somebody out there.
Kudos to Johnny keeping a straight face with having the "Easter Bunny" filming for 30 minutes...lol. Great video as always!!!
The bunny suit on the camera man 🤣🤣🤣😂🤣
At 6:08.... 🤣🤣 I just said the same thing. I had to stop and back it up. Hahaha
Genius J C , 👍👍
Rest in Peace

Because of Mr Glock , we're at this point now.
💥🎯
Johnny Glock rocks, loving the Functional Fridays. Oh and say hello to the Easter Bunny for me. 👍👍👍👍
The easter egg by the rabbit was pure gold!
Nah, he's just kinky.
I always wondered why the trigger on my LE trade in G17 Gen 3 was so terrible... Now I know it's because of that stupid "New York Spring". Very helpful videos, as always!

Nice Bunny suit ! 🤣
Nice bunny suit! 😂😂
LOVING EVERY MINUTE!!!
Mitch the "D"
Always enjoy the series, thank you for sharing this week's installment! and the camera man's outfit is priceless
This has been a great series. Thank you
Love the channel keep em coming.
Thanks man i love how you explain everything! You make it real easy to understand!
Awesome nuggets as always and nice artwork at the end! Thank-you Glock whisperer!
Really diggin these Functional Fridays. Thanks for putting these together. I'm looking forward to the video series you mentioned at the beginning of functional Fridays.
Thank you once again for your very informative video Johnny, always a wealth on knowledge!. Have a great weekend.
Johnny Glock's is awesome. Thank you for the knowledge. Great video.
Great job again Johnny boy 👍👍👍👍👍
Magic...While I'll never attempt these mods, the understanding gained in these videos is priceless.
Meanwhile I just put Johnny Glock parts in my guns with more appreciation for what they and the Man behind them are.
You just keep tinkering....way cool JG..... good one!
John, more good info, keep them coming!
Lol I just noticed the bunny suit 😂😂 love these vids educational and humorous
Thanks again Johnny!
Love the bunny.
Noticed the gen 5 ejector looks just like the PSA daggers‼️
Thank you!!!
I got my Combat Trigger . It's great. Smooth pull. I'm thinking of adjusting the travel just a little.
These videos are fascinating, with the quickly improving 3D printing, I wonder if you could just print redesigned trigger housings where you move and shape the window, eliminating the set screws.
Nice crapper!

I swear to god, there's a meme to be created out of that shitter door wide open and that dude waggling around with guns at the beginning of every video.
Creepy dude's part of the show..
Or the bunny in the mirror filming him @8:00.
The more you look for things.. the more you find..
Easter bunny photo bomb!

Johnny do the NY triggers, heavy as they make the pull. Help the reset.
Always curious what that hump on the Gen5 housing was for. Thanks Johnny.

Out of the box running with an OEM connector is was a spot on 3.5 pounds, now 3 lbs plus or minus. Definitely a competition or range toy trigger.
Hey thanks Johnny for all the info why is it after I get done shooting my glock 43 that I can't take my slide off anymore?
Great Video , apologies if I missed it , but what would happen if someone were to forget to put in the trigger housing pin? I've found a few blogs on people (myself including) forgetting to putting it back i right after changing the backstraps when first purchased.

I would like to know where I can find that trigger jig!
Gen5 housings and triggers work in a P80. Just use a gen5 slide plate.
Newbie here and After shooting my 43x I’m not fan of the trigger so I Looked on your site and wondering Is the 1st trigger in video the one ya get with the combat kit or or is it the upgrade one

What drivers are those? I can't seem to find any all metal drivers in the .035 and .050 hex like that
Do you think they may have changed over the trigger spring set up on GEN 5 in order to achieve the faster firing pin reset?
Which set screw kit should I get for this? I know you've specified the spec, I'm just not sure where to find it within a kit that I'm seeing listed.
Nice Bunny Suit. Happy Friday!!!
Can you use gen5 ejectors with gen3 or 4 Glocks without issue?
Johnny I can’t find an OEM trigger housing, would you recommend any? I was looking at lonewolfdist, what do you think of them? I need one for my Glock 35 gen 4.
How are you keeping a straight face with your cameraman in a Bunny outfit???
Question on poly80 and ejector switcharoos. If you’re using a Glock oem slide, would the gen5 ejector matter on a gen3 top with a poly lower? I don’t understand the reasoning unless it’s just a “thing” now. 🤣. Happy Friday - Glock on 🇺🇸
Sounds like P80ralph knows. I would defer to him as I don't do a lot of p80 work
I get the pattern aspect. Didn’t know if it was starting to be a go to upgrade for all models or if it was reasonings due to poly80 specs. Thanks for all responses!
EASTER BUNNY MOMMY!!!!!
How do you get a slide off of a Glock 43 if it's locked on top of your polymer 80 frame? 4/12/21 -8:40pm
Awesome video. Lenghtening the shelf in order to enable an extreme short reset is a smart idea. But doesnt that interfere with the engagement of the striker safety? I mean when the reset is that short, isnt the tap of the trigger bar so far in the back that it always presses the striker safety down?
Sorry, I wrote 'reset' - of course I meant pretravel!!!!
I'm curious to know if the set screws alter the lifespan of the housing.
Not at all
What is the size of the grub screw?
Johnny Sir what's your solution to polymer pin walking out?
What is that orange block called.Is it printed or can they be purchased. Thanks
Johnny, what thread size are those set screws you are using for the pre-travel in the housings?
Very good question. I'm guessing #4-40 1/4" or #4-40 5/16".
What up Jhonny
Great topic!!!
Can you use a gen 5 trigger bar with a gen 3 housing with a ny1 trigger spring?
Have an extra gen 5 trigger and bar kicking around and a fouled up gen 3 trigger shoe
Love functional Friday.
Where do i find to buy a housing for .40 gen 5 ?
Is 10+1 exceeding Glock's 43x specifications? My 43x stovepipes on the first round when running 10+1.
Remember, loading 10 rounds, then clambering is 9+1. Mine will run 9+1 all day long, but not 10+1.
I know this isn't a 43x video, but I'd bet I will get some good answers here. TIA.
Happy Easter camera dude
Do you sell the housings pre drilled for overtravel and take up?
No sir
Is it possible a gen 5 doesn’t need a stop in the rear of the housing ? Anyone? Thanks!!!
Da fuqs up with the creepy guy at 21:44 ?
Mr. Glock, maybe you can answer my question since both Timney and Glock have been thoroughly useless and in capable of answering what I thought would be a simple question.

@@johnnyglocks a sincere thank you sir. I very much appreciate the information.
Jonny, you missed two weeks of Functional Friday????.....and that big announcement?
I have a comment, but I'll divulge it at some point in the future. Enough said. Hope everyone found that informative.
What’s with everyone obsessing over pretravel? Even my apex equipped PPQ has some and stock allot and you need it to know how to stage it or know where the break will be. I just don’t get it
I love bro
It true p80 does not work with the 336 as good as the gen 4 and 5
How in the hell did Johnny turn a boring, mundane part like a freaking trigger housing, and turn it into an interesting, 32 minute video? Honestly, I was tempted to skip this one..."It's a freaking HOUSING! Why would I want to watch a video on that???" Wow, was I wrong. Thanks, Johnny!
Must be going to or coming from a furry party

0:50 this guy doesn't really work there. Does he?
He works in the gun shop
If there's anybody out there that knows how to get the Locking block pin out of a Glock 42. I'd search TH-cam for days. I put in an extended slide release from the Glock store. So it's not the OEM Slide release and now I cannot get my locking block pin out. I push down on the Locking block pin and with all the muscle I have in my body. It will not budge. Please somebody out there.
With the OEM part it would pop in and out since I've put this extended slide release from GlockStore. It's like it doesn't want to come out.
FIRST COMMENT (nevermind, beat by 10 seconds)
Dangit! Lol
You were WAY OFF... lol.
hey brother, your site is down!
Lol, bunny boy
