I have 2 glock 19's. One is a 3rd gen I bought from a friend that had MAYBE a box of ammo put through it. The 2nd, is a 2nd gen with an unknown history. The 2nd gen's trigger pulls seems quite a bit heavier than the 3rd gens? Its like when I pull, it just stops and requires more force to squeeze a round off.
I've heard about the 25 cent trigger job, but I dont think my friend did that on his which seems to have a lighter pull. I'm no human scale, but it feels around 5lbs. The other one is much more. Any ideas why? |

Any ideas why? My Dec of 89 gen2 G19 was the exact same way. In my case a .25 trigger job didn't fully fix it. As a prudent measure I did the "parts upgrade" they do from the factory to the old Gen 2's and even that didn't fully do it either. It wasn't until I put a smooth face G19 trigger did it fully fix my heavy, clunky trigger. YMMV but in my case it was that star shaped rear portion of the trigger bar that engages the firing pin that was causing my overall issue. The face of the most rear portion that touches the firing pin must have had a really rough surface that my .25 trigger job couldn't polish out. Again YMMV. |

Can't really tell a whole lot from the pic............................
I CAN see that it looks like a stock Trigger Spring, so no NY type spring there................but can't tell with the Connector. You have to pull it out of the Trigger Housing and look at it........................ I almost think from here it looks like an *lb Connector, but hard to tell. It's all about the angle on the "raised angled edge" of the back of the Connector. Somewhere on the part it should have a " + ", or a "-" or nothing at all. The + sign indicates an 8lb Connector. The - would indicate a 3.5, but that's doubtful, as you seem to be experiencing a "heavier" pull. Nothing at all indicates a standard 5.5 Connector. It also may just be a case of the junction between the Trigger Bar and Connector not being lubed. It's one of the most important lube points on a Glock. |

The marking would be on the little tab doohickey....just look at this pic..http://www.realguns.com/images/connetrselcfrlght.jpg
Did not read your post..oops. It takes a punch and the dexterity of a well trained Rhesus Monkey to take a Glock apart, and the training is optional. DVDtracker's Youtube Vid... Parts is cheap, dirt cheap. I'd disassemble, clean up the parts, polish, and then apply some decent grease, that makes a huge difference. Do not lube the firing pin channel. I like This video on lubing glocks. |

Can anyone tell from this pic? It looks the same as my other G19? http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm177/nate4635/Cars-Guns023.jpg that has a standard triggetr spring in it |
