Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best Glock triggers for everyday carry?

For everyday carry, prioritize triggers with a defined wall, sufficient weight, and a crisp, clean break. The Trigger Shark, Apex Tactical, Johnny Glocks, Wheaton Arms, and Glock Performance Triggers are all excellent options that maintain these crucial defensive characteristics.

Can aftermarket Glock triggers improve reliability?

While Glock OEM triggers are inherently reliable, aftermarket triggers can enhance the shooting experience by offering a crisper, cleaner, or shorter pull. Reliability is maintained as long as the aftermarket trigger is well-made and installed correctly, with many brands offering robust designs.

What's the difference between a defensive and a competition Glock trigger?

Defensive triggers typically have a more defined wall and slightly more weight for safety and control. Competition triggers often feature a lighter pull and a less pronounced wall, prioritizing speed and a crisp break, making them less suitable for carry due to potential accidental discharge risks.

Which Glock triggers are recommended for range use and speed shooting?

For range use and speed shooting, triggers that offer a crisper, cleaner, and shorter pull are ideal. The Timney Alpha trigger is specifically mentioned as a competition trigger for this purpose, while others like Trigger Shark and Apex also provide enhanced performance for recreational shooting.
