Looking for a flat, straight Glock trigger? Pull up a chair and come inside.

Can someone please explain the drop safety issues??

The drop safety keeps the striker from hitting the primer if the gun is dropped. Dropping a gun with a compromised drop safety can lead to a dead trigger, dented primer or, worst case, an ignited primer (ND).

I still think that dropping the gun is important. My standard test is to load a magazine mostly full, top it off with dummy rounds and chamber a snap cap (some people use an empty, primered case). Then I drop the gun onto my (carpeted) basement floor from waist height, trying to get it to land on the back of the grip or beavertail area. If you pick the gun up, pull the trigger and it goes "click" like normal, then you're good-to-go. If you have a dead trigger, then you have problems.

Great reviews, but I'm crious about one thing: how did you conduct the drop tests?

Are you right handed or left handed?

Right handed

Why the popularity of flat triggers lately? Is there a perceived advantage, or is it just user preference?

A flat faced trigger reduces perceived force required to operate the trigger and in correlation tends to increase accuracy of the shooter.

Thanks for the video link. I did the test with the Apex trigger and it passed like your findings. I'm definitely going to try this with my Skimmer trigger.

I think I'll hold out for a GK Gen 2.

There are a few benefits to flat/straight triggers. First, it's important to differentiate between a trigger being flat (horizontal) and straight (vertical).

Factory triggers are rounded (smooth or serrated) in the horizontal plane and curved in the vertical plane.

Triggers like the Fulcrum, Pyramid, SSVI and the like are flat in the horizontal plane, but still curved in the vertical plane.

The triggers I tested are flat and straight in both the horizontal and vertical planes. The Apex has a slight bit of vertical curve, but it's pretty close to flat.

Anyway...

Some of the benefits of the flat/straight triggers are that vertical finger placement is more forgiving, increased leverage (makes the pull "feel" lighter) and the flat horizontal surface mitigates trigger finger roll on the trigger press, which should lead to more consistency.

Order an SSVI Tyr and test it out for everyone.

Hate to spend your money for you but I'd also love to hear your thoughts on the SSVI Tyr as it compares to what you have already tried.

You re-installed an Agency Arms or Apex? The Apex supposedly doesn't fit in the G42, are you saying it does?

My bad, I meant agency.

Yeah, I was keeping a close eye on that long thread on TOS.

I am planning to order a GlockKraft Tactical Drop-in Kit this payday... I can't wait to get out on the range and see if it really makes difference.
