    With respect, and you are not getting much at this point, you would be ill advised to try to achieve a trigger weight of mere ounces on a Glock, or any handgun for that matter, if you intend to use it for self defense. First, I doubt it is possible to get a Glock trigger down to "ounces" it is just not engineered for that and you will always have the Glock "mush" factor, a result of Glock's striker action system. Second, under stress you will have the tendency to let your finger slip on to or near that trigger. If all it takes is "ounces" to set it off you are setting yourself up for a HUGE risk of a negligent discharge.

    If I were you, I'd spend more time on Google, less time trolling a good gun forum like this one, and put the idea of getting your Glock trigger down to ounces out of your mind. Visit GlockTalk if you are actually serious about this. You are simply going to be laughed out of this forum with that kind of a question.

    This is either trolling or you seriously don't know what you don't know.

    I you really wanted to figure it out I would get the drawings and figure the compounded power the trigger bar gives you (all kinds of math - over my head), then find the absolute minimum striker spring weight that gives you reliable ignition - that weight, divided by the compounding factor, would be your absolute minimum pull; now if you wanted it to reset, you'd have to figure the minimum spring weight needed for the reset you wanted - the additional weight of that spring would be added to the pull weight. I think. Tell me when you get it figured

    Looking at it know, I guess the idea does not sound smart for a carry gun..

    If it is carry, here's what you need to do.

    Buy yourself 1,000 rounds of ammo and work on your trigger control to the point that you can shoot it competently at 21 feet. Put rounds into a four inch circle at that distance, consistently. Start close and work your way back. Stand three yards away and keep moving back until you start missing that inner circle.

    Until you do that, anything else you are going to do is a waste of your time and money.

    Heck, you don't even need ammo to learn proper trigger control.

    Balance a dime on top of your front post until you can pull your trigger with the dime falling off. Do that without fail for a couple hundred times.

    You will thank me later.

    The Glock's stock trigger is just fine when you learn how to use it.

    The Glock's stock sights suck, but you can even deal with those.

    You are a fool to even think about reducing your Glock's trigger weight down to a matter of ounces.

    Sorry to be so harsh, but you need to hear it.

    I hear if you get a Glock with an 8 ounce trigger they give you all the ammo you can shoot...for life!

    Seriously. I know it is true. I read it on the Internet.
