RGG LIVE (THURSDAY NIGHT)

Published on April 19, 2024
Duration: 113:26

This video details the process of building and modifying Glock-style firearms, focusing on trigger upgrades, slide modifications, and recoil spring tuning. The host and community members discuss various trigger options, the challenges of installing components like channel liners, and the impact of ported barrels on recoil spring selection. The discussion also touches on the "Building with the Community" initiative, offering members exclusive live sessions for hands-on learning.

Quick Summary

Glock firearm builds often involve upgrading triggers and tuning recoil springs for ported barrels. Popular triggers include Timney, Apex, and Johnny Glock. Ported barrels may require lighter recoil springs (e.g., 11-13 lbs) to ensure proper cycling. Proper channel liner installation is crucial, as slides often come pre-equipped.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best aftermarket triggers for a Glock?

Popular aftermarket Glock triggers include options from Timney, Apex, and Johnny Glock. These triggers aim to improve pull weight, reduce take-up, and offer a crisper break compared to stock triggers, enhancing shooting performance and feel.

How does a ported barrel affect a Glock's recoil spring?

Ported barrels reduce gas pressure, which can cause the slide to cycle with less force. This often necessitates using a lighter recoil spring (e.g., 11-13 lbs instead of 17 lbs for a Glock 17) to ensure proper slide function and prevent feeding issues.

What is a Glock channel liner and why is installation tricky?

A Glock channel liner is a small component within the slide. Installation can be tricky because slides often come pre-installed with one. Attempting to install a second liner or forcing one without proper tools can lead to damage, such as cracking or mushrooming.

What is the 'Building with the Community' initiative?

This is a members-only initiative offering exclusive live sessions for learning firearm assembly, modification, and related skills like prepping. It's designed to provide hands-on knowledge in an engaging, interactive format while adhering to platform guidelines.
