Frequently Asked Questions

What are the essential tools for installing a Pyramid Trigger on a Glock?

You'll need a 3/32 inch punch, a small hammer, and a flathead screwdriver. A roll of blue painter's tape can also serve as a makeshift armorer's block to protect your firearm's finish and catch pins.

How do you prepare a Glock 19 for trigger installation?

Begin by ensuring the firearm is unloaded. Remove the magazine and visually and physically check the chamber to confirm it is empty before starting any disassembly.

What is the significance of pin identification during Glock disassembly?

Correctly identifying the trigger pin, locking block pin, and trigger housing pin (on Gen 3/4) is crucial for proper disassembly. Gen 5 Glocks have a different pin configuration. Removing the locking block pin first is recommended.

Can I use the factory trigger housing for the Pyramid Trigger installation?

Yes, the video demonstrates that the Pyramid Trigger System can be installed using the firearm's existing factory trigger housing, especially relevant due to potential trigger housing shortages from Glock.
