Crazy to know that you're striker only compresses about a 1/4 an inch or so. Even with a 4lb ss, I've never had a light strike. And I have a 6lb ts, but still a great fast reset... But I have all my over travel took out though
Feeling is believing. The shortness of trigger travel combined with the crispness of the break (no mush) and aggressive reset is what makes Johnny’s triggers so awesome. I’m a big fan and have three so far, will likely also get one for my 43X MOS.
Johnny, thanks for being the way you are and make these videos that educate all of us! Thanks for share that passion for guns, for triggers, and specially for your triggers! Keep up the fantastic work, congrats!
I can't thank you enough man!!! Watching your videos has helped me TREMENDOUSLY understand my glocks and how they work. THANK YOU so much for taking the time to do your videos
Johnny, thank you. This is great, I thought I knew a lot about Glock triggers, but I learned a lot from you in this video. Now I have to buy a trigger from you.
Your understanding of the mechanics of the Glock trigger system is evident in your work but a good listener can learn so much more if they read between the lines, so to speak, when watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Love THIS!!!! I live on an island in Southeast Alaska and through you posting these videos I can see the top GlOCK guy in the world show me his tips so that I can be and have the very best in my firearm. Thank you so much I know this takes time but it is very much appreciated
You have thought me so much over the YEARS.. Id just like to say thank you... And I cannot wait for the part 2 connector tuning n whatever other knowledge u decide to bestow upon us... 😂😁👍 knowing all I know now with YOU'RE vids n just owning glocks for 20 YEARS It feels so nice helping others when they have issues and being able to do 95% of any trigger work myself instead of the just ehh screw it ill send it in attitude ... No dude learn, know how to do things yourself.. UNLESS you are not at all comfortable or mechanically inclined at all.. But start somewhere.. Everyone imo should at least know how to completely tear down a glock or similar pistol to bare frame n reassemble it... At the least... Just try u may find u love doing it... I did n in also found out I like doing trigger work almost as much as I love shooting... Ramble over Thanks again Mr. Glock 😁😉
Great video Johnny, thank you so much. I am a 1911 guy to my last day, EDC with #5 lb trigger crisp break on all I have a G27 for a back up that I run stock trigger for legal reasons. Nice cut out gun
Just got the system installed on my 43x, and it’s one fine system. That break is like glass, and that reset is oh, so nice. I was one the fence for a long time, and should have jumped on it much sooner.
Absolutely amazing educational video I'm the first time glock/p 80 builder this helped me a lot to understand how the internals work together. Definitely going to be buying your kit here very soon
Johnny you have made me fall back in love with my Zev OZ9. At first I loved it. New gun love, but then the trigger was dog 💩. I even purchased a new slide for it. Since consuming your content I have created two distinctly different trigger feels you talk about most. One is the 1911ish style with the Zev slide/trigger with a 8lb '+' connector, and the other a rolling break with my p80 slide/apex trigger and '-' connector. Thank you! Also, I agree about pre travel, you can anticipate it and you should.
Great educational video. The best thing anyone could do is practice. Get used to your firearm & become extremely familiar with it. When you establish that it becomes muscle memory & you are no longer thinking about what you're doing or where the walls are or the reset. It just happens naturally. If you need to think about what you are doing you need to spend more time at the range.
Amazing video man.. best yet, but you need to watch them all! I wish you would start messing with AR triggers and show us all how exactly they work as well
Thanks man... These are some of your best videos. I like a little pre travel reduction, but I like some, overtravel took out, with a around a 4lb break... And a trigger that wants to reset... I got it pretty much there... Now if I just had a quality trigger shoe and parts... 😂
My gen 3 Glock has the best trigger I have ever seen from the factory it has a short pull to the wall,then a real crisp break and the best reset I've ever seen other than that I don't have a clue but Johnny does I bet
Waiting for part 2!!! I have a gen4 I use for duty, I need to leave most of the pre travel and trigger pull weight alone but I want a shorter, faster and better feel reset, is there a part(s) that will help with that. I sent an email asking the same question. Dude you are like the Bruce Lee of glocks…. Love the videos keep them coming. If I am watching and understanding, a gen 4 with an over travel screw and the 5.5 connector. Would give me the same pre travel, a stop wall and brake, then with the over travel screw adjusted in that adjusts for length of the reset which would be shorter, I would need to change a spring for the speed, not sure which one, feel would be spacing between the connector and the trigger bar and the frame. But I don’t think you sell the housing with just the overtravel screw. So I think I need a gen 4 housing with an overtravel screw, your 5.5 connector, and your trigger bar and your stock Glock modified trigger, to remove some pre travel. Would I keep the 5 to 5.5 pound pull weight? Help me please.
Stellar, as always. But, the Elephant in the room.. what happened to Part 2? We need that brother! Also, I'd love to see you offer a 43x / 48 OEM trigger housing with your overtravel screw enhancement for reset. Please! If ya can. Best, Mack
The trigger reset I learned and I learned this on my own and thought it was a bad habit, was to get your finger off the trigger after the shot breaks. Not slapping the trigger. Just coming off the shoe and back on till you hit the wall, pause, verify your sights or dot placement then press the trigger through. No pining the trigger to the rear and waiting to consciously reset the trigger then break the next shot.
I run the Timney Trigger with a Ghost 3.5LBS Over Travel Stop Tab Connector on my ZEV OZ9 and it’s Incredible!!!! You get the connector with a good bit of Material on the Over Travel Tab but you sand it down to Match Your Specific Break ! It’s the most effective and positive feeling Travel Stop my Trigger Breaks and Stops at The reset I wish I could show you the Break/Reset because I don’t have a Trigger anymore I have a Fire Button you press and Bang and you barely let Off and it resets in real life it’s like pressing a volume button on a IPhone !!
Johnny can you do that video on tuning the transfer bar beak and connector? I’ve been consumed by your functional friday videos trying to better my understanding of the platform and I’ve been using your tricks for my own personal stuff with success. I just need to know my limits I don’t want to ruin to many parts… ballin on a budget lol.
6 pound return spring vs 4 pound striker spring reminds me a lot of adding too much pommel weight to a great sword. It makes the handle move as much as the blade, which weakens the swing and slows the blade down.
The explanation you give is great i can almost feel it in my finger with the way you describe it. Ive been using an oem trigger. You mention the cutaway being difficult to obtain. Is there a source you can refer me to that would have one? If not id love to know where to get the gcode for a mill so im able to make my own. I build a bunch and have came across so many issues. From Cruciform kick ups being off to the actual trigger housings angle affecting the connector.. I could use one of those
Your videos have been incredibly helpful. Question for you... I have a 43x MOS and I've been getting some jerkiness in the action when I fire, and on occasion, light primer strikes that are off-centered. This happens much more often when I control the trigger reset. Could this be caused by the optic plate screw? I am using the Calculated Kinetics plate with a HS 507k. Curious what you think... thanks again for the content!
I'm having a problem with the firing pin breaking on reset. Pretty much acting like a binary trigger. It's a brand new build and has not been shoot yet. P80 build. Any suggestions?
I did a minor adjustment. I couldn't be sure that the firing pin safety wasn't affected. I turned it over and could see the the FPS and watch the interaction of the safety and trigger transfer bar through the mag well. :-)
Johnny, why does trigger pull of the Gen 5 Glock become mushy and the "wall" seems to disappear when you install a minus "-" connector compared to the dot "." connector?
What i can tell is there's one main reason why people want less pre travel (Besides people that are used to a 1911), it's people that haven't trained to not fully release the trigger after the first shot thus having that pre travel on every shot which could also be due to recoil flinching. You can train to release the trigger just enough to reset then hold it so your at or close to the wall and the next shot will hardly have any pre travel at all.
What's your address Johnny? I want one of your best trigger upgrades for the mod 19 gen 5. I have no problem with the pre travel like everyone else I want a shorter reset.
If you ever do write on a dry erase board with permanent marker just right over it again with dry erase and then dry erase it it'll come off just like a normal dry erase marker try it on a quarter inch spot sometime
Holy crap that glock with the cutout explains things 100x more than just imagining it in your head. Thanks for sharing!
Crazy to know that you're striker only compresses about a 1/4 an inch or so. Even with a 4lb ss, I've never had a light strike. And I have a 6lb ts, but still a great fast reset... But I have all my over travel took out though
how much is it?
The most important thing I have ever seen regarding reset! Johnny Glock kicks my ass and understanding again. Thank you Johnny!

Thanks Johnny, your education on function and SAFETY is unparalleled. You’re the best man. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Johnny, after watching all your videos I’m appreciating the wall break more than the rolling break in my shooting.

Do you have Johnny's Combat trigger for 43X?
I want a trigger that has a shorter reset. I'm not concerned about pretravel or trigger weight so much. Which of your set ups do you recommend?
Fantstic - the cutaway gun is very helpful. Cant wait for part2.
It's nice to see an expert in their field sharing their knowledge. Thank you.
Never did make a second one huh!!! Loved this one so much and every video you make. Please make them more often!!
Johnny Glocks is a mad scientist. Love it!

Good stuff and pre travel is actually Good in certain situations, I dont mind a stock trigger. Good insurance
Amazing video man.. best yet, but you need to watch them all! I wish you would start messing with AR triggers and show us all how exactly they work as well
Glad to see a functional Friday again , been waiting for a new one for a while. Awesome having your knowledge to share with us enthusiast Johnny 👍🏽
great info as always!!!!!!
the "why" behind it info, is why i watch!!!!
This guy knows Glock theory and practice! Bravo Zulu for sharing you knowledge!

Excellent content. ✅Educate - ✅Motivate - ✅Activate
Like you've already mentioned in another video, Glock parts will be back in stock again. And they are! Time to buy more JG triggers!
Thanks Professor ….. great teacher. I’ve learned a ton of useful information.

Wow excellent instruction.
Just bought one of JG combat triggers for my MR920. This man seems like the real deal.
Most underrated videos on youtube!
Good one JG.,. keep them coming.

Have you started manufacturing the Glock trigger bar with a tighter angle for Gen 3 80%ers reset adjustments
Great video
6 pound return spring vs 4 pound striker spring reminds me a lot of adding too much pommel weight to a great sword. It makes the handle move as much as the blade, which weakens the swing and slows the blade down.
If u want the "thud" a bit of a bend in connector towards the trigger housing...
Hey Johnny, where can I get a copy of the spring chart (trigger vs striker)?
The explanation you give is great i can almost feel it in my finger with the way you describe it. Ive been using an oem trigger. You mention the cutaway being difficult to obtain.

Can the over travel mod be done in the glock performance trigger? Gen 3- tru -5

Do you have an aftermarket barrel slide or compensator on that weapon?
@@johnnyglocks Nope... I am using Shield Arms mags, both gen 2 and 3 but no other mods.
Bro this just started today with me.. after I got my RMR cc mounted. Trigger doesn’t reset sometimes
I'm having a problem with the firing pin breaking on reset. Pretty much acting like a binary trigger. It's a brand new build and has not been shoot yet. P80 build. Any suggestions?
I did a minor adjustment. I couldn't be sure that the firing pin safety wasn't affected. I turned it over and could see the the FPS and watch the interaction of the safety and trigger transfer bar through the mag well. :-)
Hi johnny, what size is that over travel screw the should be put in there if you dont mind? Thanks
Do you have something for a Glock 21 Gen 4? Would love to have a great trigger for that.
My gun with the timney trigger fires when I let it reset very slowly but never when I reset "normal" speed. I'm totally confused by that!
Thoughts on the Ghost Pro trigger connectors?
Johnny, why does trigger pull of the Gen 5 Glock become mushy and the "wall" seems to disappear when you install a minus "-" connector compared to the dot "." connector?
Glad to see you!
Thank you Professor Glock ...😀
Any luck using the Timney trigger with the AA .22 conversion kit? I'm going to give it a go tomorrow.
When I reset the trigger on my Glock 19 gen 4. It’s more of a pop than a click. Is this a problem? I can’t remember if it’s always sounded like this.
Awesome vid John! When is pt2 coming up?
Jake and wick have awesome jobs working for you. I hope they know how lucky they are to have a job in the firearms industry
Where is part 2?
killer video. but i miss tank walking in the back of your videos
We NEED the part 2!!
Personally, i like a solid, tactile, reset feel.
@treydaypnw no one cares what you like. This isn't about you.
Great video lots of great info nobody is teaching this stuff and it’s so important thank you so much!! You should write a book for real!
Did part two ever go up?
This video is very useful thank you
Is that spring chart anywhere? Couldn’t find
What i can tell is there's one main reason why people want less pre travel (Besides people that are used to a 1911), it's people that haven't trained to not fully release the trigger after the first shot thus having that pre travel on every shot which could also be due to recoil flinching. You can train to release the trigger just enough to reset then hold it so your at or close to the wall and the next shot will hardly have any pre travel at all.
So what happened to part 2?
+1, Is there part 2?
Was there ever the part 2 video of this made?
I may be late on this, but every time I see you I think you should’ve been “
Johnny Glocksville”
I have been taught more about Glock by Johnny Glocks' videos and moreover, products.
Where can I get one of those cutaway guns?
Been running factory setup for years. Never had issues with them. It is glock, not for blings and show.
Johnny, thanks I have learned a lot from watching your videos.
You said a 6 lb trigger spring slows down your reset what trigger spring do you recommend? Oem?
And the 6lb can make your trigger blade saftey not work,you want the oem 5lb spring, the 6lb is pulling the trigger not pushing like many people think
Is there a pt2?
Very educational. Thank you!
When is part 2 coming?
Wow thanks!
While we are waiting for part 2 how about video on difference between your two trigger shoes?
Is Part 2 still coming?
And it would be nice to have a stop on both sides of the cruciform so you can’t torque it slightly sideways if you’re heavy on the trigger.
Part 2 is coming
@@johnnyglocks I’ll be expecting that this Friday. 😉
@@johnnyglocks I’m losing hope. LOL
What's your address Johnny? I want one of your best trigger upgrades for the mod 19 gen 5. I have no problem with the pre travel like everyone else I want a shorter reset.
Part 2?
You should offer weekend classes.
If you ever do write on a dry erase board with permanent marker just right over it again with dry erase and then dry erase it it'll come off just like a normal dry erase marker try it on a quarter inch spot sometime
Where is part 2?? Am I missing something ?
I want pull release for fun range purposes haha
WOW!
Thank you my Glock Problem solve
Wheres part 2
