Frequently Asked Questions

What is the pull weight of the Glock Performance Trigger?

The standard Glock Performance Trigger, designed for Gen 5 9mm models, has a pull weight of approximately 4.5 pounds. It also features a unique characteristic of remaining in the 'out' position after firing.

The Enhanced Performance Trigger, modified by GlockStore, offers compatibility with Gen 3, 4, and 5 Glock models. It features a TiN coated trigger bar, an aluminum shoe, and a 3.5lb connector, resulting in a lighter pull weight of around 3.5 pounds.

What are the benefits of installing a lighter trigger in a Glock?

Installing a lighter, shorter, and crisper trigger pull, like that offered by the Performance or Enhanced Performance Triggers, can significantly improve firearm accuracy by reducing the shooter's hand movement during the firing process.

What tools are needed to install a Glock Performance Trigger?

Essential tools for trigger installation include a trigger pull scale for benchmarking, basic Glock disassembly tools (like punch pins or a slide lock lever tool), and potentially a specialized tool for the slide cover plate on Gen 3 models. Lubricant like Gun Butter is also recommended.
