I have noted that some models of GLOCKs are coming out with different style triggers on them.  The older models have the vertically ribbed surface triggers (I am referring to the actual trigger surface) but the more recent models have smooth surface triggers.  

What can you guys tell me about this change?  

What do you see as the benefit/drawbacks of these two different triggers?

Can a person change from one trigger to another and not void the GLOCK warranty?

Thank you,

Glock stock trigger

i believe that the full size models have teh smooth, target like triggers (my G17 does); the smaller models have the grooved combat ones

other than that, they are the same; i dont know when the change occured or if it was always like that though

no drawbacks, but i prefer the smooth one--it feels better in the finger for me and when i press back, it presses evenly

yes, you should be able to change it out while still maintaing the warrenty

I also agree, your observation is not an accurate one.  The compact and sub-compact model Glocks are the ones with the "target" trigger, the one with the serrations.  They have been this way since those guns were introduced, in order to get more BATF import points.  Some people do, however, install smooth triggers on their guns that came equipped with the target trigger.  It isn't very hard to do.

I went the other way and installed a grooved "target" trigger on my G22, because I like the feel better.
