Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences in recoil between the Glock 47 and Glock 34?

The Glock 47 features a shorter recoil spring system, similar to a Glock 19, which results in a more direct and snappy recoil impulse. The Glock 34 uses a full-size recoil spring, leading to a slightly more sluggish feel during recoil recovery.

How should Talon Grips be installed for maximum durability on a Glock?

For optimal Talon Grip adhesion, thoroughly clean the firearm's grip with an alcohol wipe. Apply the grip, then use a heat gun or hairdryer to activate the adhesive. Repeat the heating and firm pressing process 4-5 times to ensure a secure, long-lasting bond.

What are the benefits of an Apex flat-faced trigger for Glocks?

The Apex flat-faced trigger for Gen 5 Glocks, including the shoe, bar, and connector, is favored for its design. The flat face allows for more consistent pressure application straight back, potentially improving accuracy and making the trigger pull feel easier.

Are there readily available alternatives to Taran Tactical Innovations striker springs for Glocks?

Yes, Wolf 4.5lb striker springs are a good, readily available alternative to TTI springs. They offer a comparable feel and performance for reducing trigger pull weight, making them a practical option for firearm modifications.
