I love the stock trigger pull weight. It’s a deliberate enough of a weight, that I don’t worry about accidentally pulling the trigger. However, I just want a more comfortable trigger shoe, and perhaps a better travel and reset.
@@woodystube1000 you purchase from someone knowledgeable, true to their clients, and are informative in finding options that fit their customers needs. Not just the guy who picks the most expensive thing off the shelf and tries to sell you on what you dont need.
Quick way to remove your trigger pin on your G43X (works first time every time) remove your slide and then have a 5/32" or 3/32" pin punch at the ready, now first with your thumb raise the slide stop (against its spring tension) straight up and at the same time apply light pressure with your pin punch to the trigger pin and immediately allow the the slide stop to "SNAP" downward as you apply a very slight amount more pressure to your pin punch it's a 1,2,3, guarantee.
Exploring budget-friendly ways to enhance the Glock 43X trigger is always appreciated. From my perspective, it's crucial to strike a balance between affordability and performance.
Keep in mind that a Double Diamond connector as well as a Ghost pro trades more leverage for more trigger pull distance, which kind of cancels what Lenny said at the beginning. To accomplish the stated objectives that Lenny first stated can be done with the following: 1) Polish the internal parts. 2) Replace the OEM shoe with one that can dial out pre-travel ( or perhaps both pre-travel and overtravel). 3) Install a device that limits overtravel such as a modified trigger housing with an overtravel reduction set screw (now available for the 43x/48) or Ghost PRO connector. 4) Choose the appropriate striker spring to finish the assembly construction with a 4.5 or 6 pound spring. 5) Install a reduced power safety plunger spring [which won't reduce the trigger pull weight but make the pull smoother]. For about $45 you can purchase a new shoe and housing that will do everything for you. The 43x's connector will stay crisp yet the pull will remain short and as heavy or light as you want it to be. Again, the Double Diamond and Ghost connectors might be ideal for some, but they will produce a "rolling" break rather than the OEM connector's "crisp" glass rod break. .
We call the set of typical mods, including this one, "Lennyizing" your Glock. HIGHLY recommended, no failures in parts or operation so far, and the 3+ lbs (not measured, but very noticeably lighter) pull really help with accuracy. Lenny, you ROCK!
I have a glock 43x gen 5, recently I had a 3lb. Pyramid trigger installed and it made a world of difference. At ten yards I shot 50. rounds and there was only 3 rounds outside the circle and the grouping was tight and it was easy on my trigger finger.
I just have to thank you for the ar 15 dry fire training dvd circa 2003. Im so happy you are living your life how you are. Moving out of California taking glock store to the next level. I moved to Texas and am also pursuing freedom and happiness for my little family. Me my wife and my 2 1/2 year old son. Carry my glock 17 gen 3 and it gets better year after year. Currently rocking a Valkyrie pl3 and a gideon omega 3 moa red dot. Aim surplus slide. Ndz guide rod and 15lb spring. Vickers carry trigger on oem bar. Oem internals upper and lower. Ghost bullet slide stop, and glock oem extended mag release. Lone wolf ext take down. Magpul carry magwel. Minor frame work and some Goon tape. Its been a slow evolution but im extremely happy with how it shoots and how I shoot with it. No pistol has given me the confidence of my glock 17 with a 17 round mag and a tyrant +5 extension. 22+1 of 124g jhp defending my sons future at all times❤ and it always goes bang. Always. Thats the best part. Ive had zero malfunctions in about 4 years of ownership. Very well cared for and daily carried. Well over 1000 rounds of practice plus 3 classes. ZERO malfunctions......I will be cremated and boxed up with my glock and placed on my kids mantle some day. I believe my spirit will stay attached to my weapon and allow me to protect my son and his future family even after death 😂
GREAT Video and Explanation!! I was nervous about dissembling and installing the new Double Diamond 3.5 connector myself but with the help of your excellent explanation I did it with very little trouble. Somehow I did manage to unseat that small spring at the end of the slid stop but luckily I didn’t send it flying across the room when putting it back into place. Thanks again for your video!
You can give your Glock a very smooth trigger without replacing any parts. Al you have to do the polish the of the trigger bar and the connector where they rub against each other. You will retain your factory trigger pull but will eliminate that gritty feel to the take up of the trigger.
These really do work and very affordable as Lenny shows. Have several Black Yikes in my Glocks and they work awesome!. Next up is the wifes 43x. Thanks Lenny for great products and great tutorials.
My carry gun is stock.y p80s have triggers. I prefer the stock. It just works. Once I started swapping connectors and springs and trigger bars. I had nothing but spotty Subpar Glock performance. I have a Vickers trigger shoe on the stock bar on my carry gun. It's perfect. All OEM internals. Rmr slide optic and wml. Goon tape. It's a battle weapon forsure. I'm 100 times better with my Glock as it sits than any other weapon I own. Except maybe the 10/22 nail driver with bsa sweet22 scope. I love that rifle.
Interesting that I should happen upon this today. It just shows how closely google tracks you on the web. I have a brand new Glock 48 MOS. At my local gun store a few weeks ago I found a Double Diamond connector in the sale parts bin for a dollar. I didn’t even bother to check to see what it was for. I just bought it cause I have a bunch of Glocks. I decided to do a $0.25 trigger job to the new G48 and checked to see what the new connector was for and it turned out it was for a 43/43x and 48. I checked the trigger pull six times with a Wheeler spring loaded device before I started and it averaged 6 lbs. I polished up all of the important areas and installed the new connector. I then tested the trigger with 6 pulls and it averaged 5.5 lbs. the trigger did feel a tiny bit lighter and the break was a bit better. I have never had much luck with connectors, be it Ghost or even the stock connector in my G34 which is also lighter than in other Glocks. Calling it a 3.5 lbs. connector is misleading. You aren’t going to get 3.5 lbs without some other major changes like lighter striker springs.
I put one of those in and defineatley improved. then one day at the range it went full auto on me. took it to gunsmith he said that the connector was not locking on the cruciform. so i went back to a polished stock connector and polished all trigger parts. pulls at about 4.5 pounds which is great for CCW. , too light of pull and I dont trust carryoing it HOT!
I've always been told not to fk with your trigger on a self defense weapon for two reasons: 1. Changing trigger parts just increases the chances of something malfunctioning. 2. You don't want a 3lb trigger on a gun that you will be using with your lizard brain. It will just increase the chance of a negligent discharge. But, with that said, I will probably upgrade mine.
Does this impede the safety of the stock trigger mechanism? Concern for appendix carry and accidental discharge with this being a much lighter trigger pull
Watched tons of your videos. You do a great job. I've switched my EDC to a S&W but have a ton of Glocks. I'll buy a double diamond connector for my G43, which I'm giving to my daughter in law.
Caniks are easier to shoot and more accurate for new shooters in comparison. Glocks have a steep learning curve to accuracy and consistency in my opinion. Canik were easier to point and know were my point of impact will be. Glock just has that brand name recognition.
Sent my 43x back to glock this week to have the turd polished. Two digit serial number, less than a few hundred rounds down range with it. Trigger just quit resetting. So much for a potential EDC. Once back I doubt I can trust it. Suggestions for a new EDC? LMAO. Maybe back to my trusty 1911.
You are a great teacher you're an awesome dude but let me ask you you just said a stock Glock 17 that has been used for years with a factory 5.5 lb spring has came in with a 3 lb spring so if you put the 3 1/2 lb spring in the gun and you use it for 5 years you're going to have a 1 lb trigger that could be very dangerous I think right
I am changing the trigger only on my new 43X. That should take it down to 4.5 lbs. I don’t want anything lighter. I heard one guy say that, “When you get into a self defense situation you will have the strength of Superman.” You don’t want a 3.5 lbs; that’s way too light.
@@pauldavis9387 u like you i am not rying to tell someone "its too light or too heavy" im not a control freak on anyone else, but you seem to be the expert!!
@@pauldavis9387 ""you dont want anything lighter....." i guess thats where i get that you are an expert....where you assert that someone else should think as you do. Have you ever been in a self defense, have to pull your weapon situation?? You say that part as its personal knowledge and truth.
Why did I flashback to the 80s when NYPD officers were shooting themselves with 3.5# connectors ? Then NYPD had Glock mfr a NYPD 8# connector and finally an NYPD+ 12# trigger . History for thought . I personally never had a problem with a lighter connector .
Glock has been selling guns in the US since around 1989 with substandard triggers. You’d think they would have fixed that by now. 5 pounds is OK as long as it’s crisp.
How many shots have you put through the gun? Proper lubing and lots of cycling will break it in. I have a 48MOS and added the tungsten guide rod, this made mine easier to rack, plus flattened muzzle rise.
Lenny I dropped my New 43x on the pavement and now it's wabbling on the side so bad I'm afraid to shoot it anyway to fix the right rear slide post I don't know how to fix this thanks
Stock Glock triggers are perfect. Don't fall for the notion that you need a better trigger. For competition, sure. But for defense, stock Glock triggers are the way to go. Why mess with 100% reliability?
Never left a glock trigger stock, and have never had an issue with any of mine either!! Get them down to 3 - 3 1/2lbs and they work just fine for any use at all.
Stock triggers are stock triggers. If u don’t wanna tinker with them that’s fine. But they can be made better . And glocks are great but they are not 100% reliable lol they still fail sometimes. Anything man made will have a problem every now and again
If they can be made better without hampering reliability - and they *can* be made better without hampering reliability - there's no logical reason not to.
I put a Ghost trigger in a G19 and it caused it to do double taps. I wrote Ghost, but without an answer. Any ideas? I removed it and it went back to firing fine
I fully agree and admit that the glock firearm is one of the most reliable guns on the market in most models and trims. The trigger is perfectly good for self defense situations, however...it's crap. Better crap is still crap, sorry. It's reliable and that's what it was designed for, end of story. A "good feeling" trigger it is not
I generally don't mess with defensive pistol triggers. I feel like accidents can happen when the trigger is too light. In a defensive situation you want to make sure your pulling the trigger and not accidentally pulling the trigger early if you don't need to. Training is your best trigger upgrade. Any trigger is usable with enough training.
I just put one on my 43X and the difference is night and day. I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner. Absolutely amazing upgrade for just 15 minutes of my time and a few dollars

Johnny Glock trigger shoe. Short take up to the wall, fast reset, but you keep the stock poundage if nothing else is changed
Try a serpico carry trigger.

Talon grips has slide serration grips .....work great for better grip on slide
How many shots have you put through the gun? Proper lubing and lots of cycling will break it in. I have a 48MOS and added the tungsten guide rod, this made mine easier to rack, plus flattened muzzle rise.
Probably just needs broke in a bit more. Just make sure you keep your slide properly lubed

Your striker is slipping off the sear. The sear is built into the trigger bar. This can be adjusted. There are many videos on TH-cam how to do it.
@@SolitaryMaverick thanks for the heads up
I fully agree and admit that the glock firearm is one of the most reliable guns on the market in most models and trims. The trigger is perfectly good for self defense situations, however...it's crap. Better crap is still crap, sorry. It's reliable and that's what it was designed for, end of story. A "good feeling" trigger it is not
I generally don't mess with defensive pistol triggers. I feel like accidents can happen when the trigger is too light. In a defensive situation you want to make sure your pulling the trigger and not accidentally pulling the trigger early if you don't need to. Training is your best trigger upgrade. Any trigger is usable with enough training.
I have a Gock 30 45 caL WITH A LASERMAX GUIDE ROD LASER, IF I PURCHASE THE GLOCK43X, WILL THIS GIDE ROD LASER FIT IN THE 43X???....THANK YOU
Almost certainly not. I sold my 30 and the only Lasermax I have is for a 26, but since they replace the guide rod it seems unlikely.
@@oklahomahank2378 Thanks for the reply, i will try to verify what you have said...
Left out, right in - a gunsmith told me that

The cheapest way is to polish your trigger bar. Johnny Glock has a video showing how and where to polish.
Hey Lenny - can I send you my lower, and you install it and send it back?
