Glock is reportedly ceasing shipments of most of its firearm lines by the end of the month due to ongoing lawsuits concerning the ease of attaching auto sears ('switches'). While compact models like the 43, 43X, and 48 are expected to continue shipping, other models will be affected. Glock is anticipated to implement internal modifications, potentially including the cruciform and striker fire system, to address these legal challenges. Initial post-change batches may not feature MOS (Modular Optic System) compatibility.

This video demonstrates how to install a trigger stop into a Glock's trigger housing to reduce over-travel and improve reset. The process involves disassembling the firearm, replacing the standard connector with a modified one featuring a set screw, and carefully adjusting the screw to limit rearward trigger travel without preventing striker release. The modification aims to enhance shooting speed and accuracy, particularly for competition.

This guide details how to inspect the internal safety mechanisms of a Glock firearm, focusing on the 'Safe Action' system. It covers checking the crucial engagement between the trigger bar's cruciform and the striker, the function of the safety ledge, and the role of the safety plunger. The guide also highlights potential risks associated with aftermarket triggers and emphasizes the importance of proper installation and verification for maintaining drop safety, as explained by an expert with high authority on Glock internals.

Lenny McGill from GlockStore demonstrates the installation and utility of the Armorer's Half Slide Cover Plate for Glocks. This specialized plate allows visual inspection of the striker and trigger bar interaction without full disassembly, aiding in troubleshooting malfunctions and verifying proper component engagement. The process involves safely unloading the firearm, relieving spring pressure with a punch, and carefully replacing the factory plate with the half-size version. This tool is valuable for armorers and enthusiasts to diagnose internal firearm status.
