Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary benefit of installing a Glock Competition Spring Kit?

The primary benefit is a significant reduction in trigger pull weight, typically from a factory 5.5-6.5 lbs down to around 4 lbs. This lighter pull helps improve shooting accuracy by minimizing sight picture disturbance during the trigger press.

What tools are needed for installing a Glock Competition Spring Kit?

Essential tools include a punch set for removing pins, a hammer (preferably a nylon/brass hammer for gentler use), and potentially a wooden bench block to protect surfaces during disassembly and reassembly.

What is a critical step when installing the new competition spring?

A critical step is maintaining the correct 'S' orientation of the trigger spring as it is installed into the trigger bar and housing. Incorrect orientation can lead to improper function or assembly errors.

Who is demonstrating the installation of the Glock Competition Spring Kit?

The installation is demonstrated by Lenny Magill, founder of GlockStore, who is presented as an expert authority on Glock platforms and firearm modification.
