Frequently Asked Questions

What trigger upgrades does Ben Stoeger recommend for Glocks?

Ben Stoeger recommends Apex Tactical triggers for Glocks, specifically noting the benefit of a flat trigger face which aids in pressing the trigger straight back. He also uses the integrated connector and trigger bar assembly from Apex.

How should Talon Grips be applied to a Glock for best results?

For optimal adhesion, Talon Grips should be applied using a high-quality hair dryer to heat the grip material. Significant clamping force must then be applied to the grip tape while it's hot, repeating this process multiple times to fully activate the adhesive.

What are the common issues with aftermarket Glock optic mounting plates?

Older CH Precision optic mounting plates have shown durability issues, particularly with their T-shaped nuts and hardware, which can shear off under stress, leading to optic detachment. This highlights the importance of robust mounting solutions.

Which red dot sights does Ben Stoeger currently prefer for his Glock setups?

Ben Stoeger currently favors either the Vortex Defender or the Holosun 507 Comp. The choice often depends on the desired optic footprint, with the Defender using a Delta Point Pro pattern and the 507 Comp using an RMR/SRO pattern.
