Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main risks of using aftermarket triggers in a Glock for EDC?

The primary risks include unpredictable malfunctions, such as unintended rapid firing or failure to fire, compromising reliability. These issues can be critical in self-defense scenarios, making stock triggers a safer choice for Everyday Carry (EDC).

Why does the presenter recommend stock triggers for EDC firearms?

The presenter advocates for stock triggers due to their proven reliability and consistent performance. Aftermarket triggers, especially binary or 'super semi' types, are shown to be prone to malfunctions that can occur even after initial successful operation, making them unsuitable for critical self-defense use.

What specific issues did the presenter encounter with aftermarket Glock triggers?

The presenter experienced a snapped gold-plated recoil spring, a 'super semi' trigger that began firing faster than intended, and eventually an unintentional three-round burst. The trigger also became excessively hard to pull and caused the slide to stick.

How does reinstalling a stock trigger affect a Glock's performance?

Reinstalling a stock trigger significantly improves a Glock's performance. The slide action becomes much more fluent, and the trigger pull returns to its expected feel, eliminating the 'slow-mo' or excessively hard pull experienced with the problematic aftermarket trigger.
