hey guys i have a 34 strictly for range use. i wanna put some upgrades into it to make the trigger smoother. i did the .25 trigger job and it didn't seem to do much( i already got over 1000 rounds down the tube) not looking to spend tons of money but i just want to have a super slick firing glock
any suggestions on possible upgraded parts would be great thanks |

I shoot a G34 for USPSA competition.... put the "high buff"... cloth wheel with some red polishing rouge...on the firing pin safety plunger (I hold it in a drill chuck so it doesn't get pulled out of your hand), and contact spot on the trigger bar....polish the end radius of the trigger bar in contact with the connector, and a light buff where the striker engages the trigger bar .... I like to stone the trigger bar where it makes contact with the striker to be sure it is square, and break the corner where it contacts when it cams down...buff the extractor plunger
externally... good set of sights (I like Heinies or Dawson), butt plug, skate board tape on the thumb swell and grip panels internally... stainless guide rod and uncaptured ISMI spring, JP mag release button if you have small hands shoot 147grain bullets! |
| I've seen a couple issues with light strikes and other issues with after market internals. I shoot a completely stock G34 for IDPA, Steel Challenge, and 3 gun, and manage to do okay. What issues do you have with the stock parts that you feel you need to change them? The factory parts will smooth out nicely once they break in. |

externally... butt plug, I've never understood the point of the plug. What does it accomplish for you? I have the Pearce grip plug insert in both my G22 and G17. I like that it aids with your mag speed reloads. Without it, the rim of your top cartridge in the mag gets hung up on the inside of the mag well. Some people might say that it's a hindrance if you have a malfunction/double feed and you're not able to remove the mag. Locking the slide to the rear helps with mag removal. |
Since it's strickly a range gun this will give you a really nice trigger without spending too much. I really like this combo in my G34  .
•Lone Wolf 3.5# connector (LWD-342) •Lone Wolf 4# striker spring (LWD-63-4) •Lone Wolf 6# trigger spring (LWD-350-6) •Lone Wolf Ultimate Trigger Stop |

I've found that all you need is a 3.5# connector and a Competition Trigger Spring for a lighter and crisper trigger. Much pre-travel and all of the over travel will be eliminated and you'll love your new trigger. Best of all is that it’s both cheap (about $20) and so easy you can do it yourself in just a couple of minutes. 3.5# Connector: I've tried Glock, Scherer, and Lone Wolf 3.5# connectors in my Glocks and Lone Wolf's is the best hands down because it gives you the best 'break' with less take up and over travel. The other two connectors left a mushy feel in the trigger. You can get it from Glockparts.com for $15 HERE. Comp Trigger Spring: The Comp Trigger Spring is a higher weight spring (6lbs vs 5lbs) and because the spring works with you pulling the trigger, not against you, the higher spring weight gives you a lighter and crisper pull. Glockparts.com has them for $5 HERE. While you’re at it, give your Glock a 25¢ trigger job by following the instructions HERE. Its really quite simple to do and you’ll be pleased with the results. For instructions on replacing your connector and trigger spring, as well as disassembling your Glock, check out Glockparts Disassembly Page. Just click "Disassembly" on the left of his home page. They give instructions with photos to help you do it. Glocks are simple to work on so give it a try. |

You might look at the GloxWorx connector, super light. They specialize in Glock race guns. I just ordered two Glockworx 2# connectors with spring kits today. Haven't decided which of my Glocks I'll try 'em in first. The only part that gives me pause is the lightened firing pin spring. |

I f you want a drop in trigger, Ghost GHO-STD kit is a 3.5lb connector, 6lb trigger spring, 4lb firing pin(striker...) spring, reduced power safety plunger spring. If tyou are even modestly mechanical, the Ghost GHO-RIK has the same springs as the drop in kit but includes a Rocket connector which requires moderate fitting (file, dremel etc can be used).
You simply can't find a better value than either of the above 2 kits, both should be between $20 and $34. |
| as Islandboy671 commented, it acts like a magazine well guide...mostly though, it keeps crud out of the ejector block components...I shoot "tactical" class and the rules usually require that the unloaded pistol be carried at all times, and we go prone quite a bit ... one range is a sand box |
