    All the diagnosis recommended are visual and could be performed by all gun owners.


    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

    The usual problem for a dead trigger on a later model Glock, either "slimline" or Gen5 is the front of the trigger bar's cruciform not tucked into the hook of the trigger spring, a common reassembly error.

    I agree, check your trigger bar. Even though you haven't messed with it that could be your problem,I changed out my trigger and did this and it would go dead midway through a mag, sometimes I would re-rack it and it would work, other times not. I came home and watched a vid on trigger install and noticed the issue. Worth a look for sure.

    He said he let someone else replace the part, not him.

    Yup, I had the same issue and found that to be the culprit

    Just an update as I appreciate all the suggestions. I dropped the pistol off at my LGS for one of their guys that is also an armeror to look at. He disassembled it, inspected it, and made no modifications. He then test fired it and could not replicate the dead trigger or any other malfunction. He probably thought I was retarded or something because I told him it was happening almost every magazine. I'll try it again this weekend and hopefully the trigger bar popped back into place when he disassembled it or something.

    Post 16,
    Here seems to be the order of events.
    A or another Glock Armorer disassembled the subject G43X, but, possibly, missed whether the trigger bar was not assembled correctly.
    But when the Armorer did reassemble G43X, he may have done the reassembly correctly; then test-fired not experiencing any malfunctions.

    If it works now for the OP, don't worry about it and carry on with life.
