Key modifications that enhance Glock performance include aftermarket competition triggers for smoother pulls and faster resets, thumb rests and beaver tail chops for better grip, and slide porting to reduce muzzle flip, leading to quicker follow-up shots.

Is installing a custom Glock trigger difficult?

Installing a custom Glock trigger can be more involved than a simple drop-in. It may require changing springs, adjusting the extractor, and modifying the trigger bar, suggesting an intermediate to advanced skill level for proper installation and tuning.
