Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of the Taran Tactical Gen 5 Glock Trigger Job?

The TTI Gen 5 Glock Trigger Job significantly reduces the trigger pull weight from a factory approximately 6 lbs down to around 3 lbs. This provides a smoother, lighter pull, enhancing control and speed for competition shooting and tactical applications.

How does the TTI Gen 5 Glock Guide Rod improve performance?

The TTI Gen 5 Glock Guide Rod, made of stainless steel, is designed for optimal performance. When paired with appropriate recoil springs (9mm or .40 S&W), it helps manage recoil and prevent the 'nose-dive' effect, allowing for faster sight recovery between shots.

What is the 'nose-dive' effect in pistol shooting?

'Nose-diving' occurs when the muzzle of a semi-automatic pistol dips downwards as the slide closes after firing. This phenomenon can disrupt sight alignment. Using lighter recoil springs, as recommended by TTI, helps mitigate this issue for quicker sight recovery.

Are Taran Tactical parts compatible with all Glock Gen 5 models?

The TTI Gen 5 Glock Guide Rod is specifically designed for Gen 5 Glock 17 models and is compatible with 9mm or .40 S&W springs. It's also noted that Gen 4 Glock 19 guide rods can be used in Gen 5 Glock 19s.
