Glock Grooved vs. Smooth Trigger

**8200rpm** · 07-20-09, 22:39

Why the disdain for the grooved trigger face of the 19/23 and 26/27? Seems like some shooters prefer the smooth face of the 17/22 and 34/35 trigger.

I'd like to get an explanation from folks who prefer the smooth trigger. Is it simply a tactile preference, or do the grooves somehow impede how you operate the trigger.

Thanks.

For me?

For me when shooting more than a few mag full of round the Glock factory serrated triggers hurt my trigger finger. Am I a p***y? Maybe but I prefer the non-serrated triggers which are easily installed on the Glock 26/27/33 and Glock 19/23/32s.

I prefer the smooth glock trigger for the same reason as gotm4. After shooting a few mags with the serrated trigger it starts to irritate my finger and rubs it raw during long range sessions. Luckily it is an easy, quick, and cheap fix.

I feel the same. It's not uncommon for me to run 200rds. through my 26 in a session.

I also prefer and use the smooth trigger. It feels much better on my "girly" hands after a long day at the range or a class that lasts several days.

i like the smooth triggers myself. also being that we run NY2's , that groved trigger can tear you finger up after a few boxes of ammo.

I only run the smooth trigger. IIRC Glock installs the serrated trigger in tthe compact/subcompacts to give them the points needed for import

I probably don't shoot enough pistol these days....

But until it came up on this site a few months back, I didn't even know there was a difference in the triggers on my G22 and G27. I'm not into this "feelings" crapola when I shoot. Like OMG which grip should I buy for my AR, etc. MAS PUTO!!!
