Glockworx trigger kit

[TMan]

I decided that I really wanted to compare the trigger kits from Glockworx against the combined triggerkit.com and Ghost Rocket Connector that I mentioned in another thread.

So, I went to their web-site and ordered their complete trigger kit. It has an allen screw type adjustment for the overtravel, which should be a little easier to adjust than filing metal off the connector as you have to do with the Ghost Rocket Connector.

It should be there by the time I get back to the states (in time to vote for Hillary), and I'll install it in my new G17L. (The Longslide version of the G17).

I'll let you know how it goes - maybe I should wait until I get over jet-lag - this 11-1/2 hour time difference is about as bad as you can get. I remember some stupid newcaster talking about how horrible a 14 hour time difference was when the Olymipics were in Japan. He probably would think that the worse case scenario would be 23 hours. ;D

Won't TMan be PO'ed if Hillary takes Texas!

MLB, funny how times changes things - I voted for Hillary.

I installed the Glockworx kit today into the G17L, and then did some comparisons with the triggerkit.com and Ghost Rocket Connector in the G34, but first a little about the installation.

The Glockworx kit includes a lot of parts:

GlockWORX designed custom trigger with fully polished trigger bar
GlockWORX Custom Skeletonized Stainless Steel Striker
LWD Polished 3½lb connector
Set Pre-travel stop
Adjustable over-travel stop
Wolff reduced power
Wolff standard power striker spring
GlockWORX Custom Trigger Spring
GlockWORX Custom Polished safety plunger
GlockWORX plunger spring
Spare set of striker spring cups
Allen wrench to adjust over travel

The installation was extremely easy in spite of the fact that there weren't any instructions included in the kit. The only slight difficulty I had was that I had forgotten in order to remove the slide's safety plunger you have to first remove the extractor.

However, I wasn't satisfied with the adjustment for the over-travel, so after putting it all back together, I had to disassemble it in order to move in the set-screw to reduce the over-travel i.e. I wasn't satisfied with the factory adjustment.

Unfortunately, I can't really get a good comparison between the G34's trigger and the G17L's trigger because I installed the Ghost Rocket connector prior to installing the triggerkit.com trigger assembly. Had I done it in the reverse order, I expect I'd have less overtravel on the G34 than what I currently have, which isn't very much, but more than on the G17L.

There is less takeup on the G17L than on the G34, but there is considerably less force needed to remove the takeup on the G34.

On the Lyman gauge the G34 is breaking at 2 lb 14oz, and the 17L at 2lb 7oz, but to the finger the G34 feels better.

Summary: the Glockworx is easier to install that than the combination of Ghost Rocket Connector and the triggerkit.com trigger assembly. However, it is a little more expensive. If I was ever to buy another Glock (can't imagine why, but never thought I'd vote for Hillary either), I'd first go with the triggerkit.com trigger assembly, and if the overtravel bothered me, then I'd add the Ghost Rocket Connector.
