Duration: 15:10

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.

Quick Summary

Installing a trigger stop on a Glock reduces over-travel, the distance the trigger moves after firing. This modification shortens the trigger's reset, enabling faster follow-up shots and potentially enhancing accuracy by minimizing unnecessary rearward trigger movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary benefit of installing a trigger stop on a Glock?

Installing a trigger stop on a Glock primarily reduces over-travel, which is the distance the trigger continues to move after firing. This leads to a quicker reset, allowing for faster follow-up shots and potentially improving overall shooting accuracy by minimizing unnecessary trigger manipulation.

How does a trigger stop work inside a Glock's trigger housing?

A trigger stop typically involves a set screw installed in the trigger housing. As the trigger bar moves rearward, it contacts this screw, preventing further travel. This modification shortens the trigger's pull and reset cycle, making it more efficient for rapid shooting.

What is the 'shelf' in a Glock trigger housing and why is it important for trigger stop installation?

The 'shelf' in a Glock trigger housing is a safety feature that the trigger bar rests on when the firearm is ready to fire. For a trigger stop to function correctly, the set screw must be adjusted so the trigger bar still clears this shelf to release the striker, but its rearward travel is limited.

Can a trigger stop be installed on any Glock model?

While the video focuses on a Gen 5 Glock, trigger stop modifications are generally available for various Glock generations. The specific installation process and compatibility may vary depending on the Glock model and the trigger stop kit used. It's crucial to ensure the kit is designed for your specific firearm.
