Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key steps to installing a Ghost Inc. trigger kit on a Glock 17?

Reassembly of both slide and frame components, followed by a function check, completes the process.

What tools are needed for the Ghost Inc. Glock trigger kit installation?

A function check is critical to ensure the firearm operates safely and correctly after modification. It verifies that the trigger will not fire without proper engagement of safety mechanisms and that the trigger resets reliably.
