[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Factory trigger modification, is this ok?

Posted: 11/10/2015 5:33:36 PM EDT

One thing I hear from some people shooting Glocks is the safety lever on the trigger digs into your finger pad after a lot of shooting. I've felt this myself and was wondering why does it stick out so far? What is wrong with "trimming the fat" and taking a little off the front of it so it's either flush with the trigger WHEN DEPRESSED or just slightly higher? The triggers seem to unlock with about half the safety lever still exposed and pressing into the finger. Certainly it looks like it will still function correctly if some of it is trimmed/sanded back.
Opinions?

I sand the face of the trigger safety on my Glocks. Wrap sand paper around a large socket (to closely match the trigger radius) and sand the safety a bit. It makes it much more comfortable to shoot.

I do something very similar.

Ditto

Years ago I bought a S&W Sigma. Everybody says its a POS but the one I had ran like a champ. Had a Gen 2 Model 19 at the same time. S&W kicked Glock's ass on the trigger design- it was much more comfortable.

Just got done doing this to my G43 and it feels great. I think I'll do the others as well!

Nothing wrong with doing it at all. I've been doing it for years as it seems the trigger safeties are getting prouder and prouder.

The lever stands a little proud to ensure it is completely depressed with finger on the trigger.

That said, I've sanded mine down more flush as well.

That said, a trigger bar isn't exactly expensive if you booger it up.
