    Glock trig safety

    New glock 17 owner- first glock, first 9

    does anyone one else HATE the trigger safety?

    i finally decided to go glock after shooting a 19 a couple months ago.. i put a few hundred rounds through the thing, and realized i'd been an idiot for not investigating glock sooner.. loved that 19.

    i dig everything about my 17, except the trig safety digs into my finger. it doesn't hurt exactly, but it sticks up 1/32" on a squeezed trigger, and i hate it the longer i have it. does get tender after a couple hundred rounds. totally messes with my trigger control, and diverts my attention. i'm sure i can train this out of the equation, but i'd rather cut it out of the equation. i'm considering taking a little material off it, just to get it closer to flush. am i asking for disaster? is this something that's done? are there better aftermarket trigs i can use? trigs with NO safety, maybe? or will i just get used to it and not care after a while?

    being a 1911 guy, it's hard enough to remember the trig needs more than a light tap.. add the funkiness of the trig safety, and i'm way distracted.

    Odd...

    I don't even notice it. I don't remember noticing it when I wised up and switched from the 1911 to the glock either.

    Opposite

    I have nearly the opposite issue than what you stated here.
    The 17 shoots comfortably for me but the 19 rubs blisters across the top of my shooting hand after a short time.

    I don't get the reason for the trigger safety, but then again, I am just a stupid 1911 shooter.

    indeed.. if someone respectable makes a trig with no safety, i think i'll begin my Glock Life with no trig safety.

    are these available? i did a couple internet searches and didn't immediately find anything

    Do a little more outside work and your hands will toughen-up and you will not notice it.

    The only Glock related ouchie I got was with my cold-wet hands at Dave Penningtons CC class in Feb.

    It was the end of winter when I had not done much outside work in a while. The arch on the backstrap caused a 'slight' tender spot on my palm by the end of day two.

    Took hundreds of rounds to do this.

    Right now, I have been working in the garden all summer and my hands are tough.

    My brother saw Deliverance and bought a Bow. I saw Deliverance and bought an AR-15.

    This is my only issue with Glock triggers which is due to the serrated triggers on the Glock 19 (as well as the other mid-sized and compact Glocks). I replace the serrated trigger with a fullsize smooth trigger w/trigger bar on my 19's.

    If it bothers you that much, why not just file it flush with the trigger face?
