Gen 5 Glock Trigger Upgrades….

[MadAngler1]

Has anyone installed a Wilson Combat or Apex trigger upgrade for a gen 5 glock?

After 1500 rounds, my Gen 5 glock 19 trigger lost its smoothness even after a nice cleaning.

I installed an Apex trigger, and it’s definitely nicer. However, the trigger shoe dimensions/geometry are as such that they cause me to rub my trigger finger inside the trigger guard. I don’t have this problem with my Gen3/4 G17/19 glocks that also have Apex trigger systems.

Was curious if anyone had a similar issue on their gen 5 or tried either the Wilson or Apex triggers?

Thanks

What part being replaced would bring it back to smooth? Also, when was your G19 purchased? This isn't the first time someone has reported a problem with Gen5 Glock triggers getting worse with use.

Interesting....I will have to ask my buddy on what his dept feedback has been...

I haven't run the Wilson or Apex triggers. All of my G19.5s and G17.5s are using Overwatch Precision DAT triggers, except my duty gun. Our policy on aftermarket triggers is outdated and dumb. No issues or complaints on the OP triggers.

My duty G17.5 hasn't had any issue with the trigger getting worse and I'm about 3k into it. Can you go into more detail about how it "lost it's smoothness"? Glock triggers aren't known for being anything close to good.

I have owned a pile of Gen5s since ‘17 and have noticed that by about 2K rounds the triggers tend to get gritty and heavier.

I got tired of trying to fix them and have a 17 with about 9K through it and it’s pretty gritty and breaks at about 7lbs but hasn’t gotten any worse and all the safeties work.

It's all about the liability on AM triggers...who has deeper pockets Glock or OP..

Wonder if the grittiness some stated is trigger bar and disconnector related...

G19 Gen5 trigger is absolute shit after a couple thousand. Going to replace everything with OP NP3 components and a Falx trigger. Hopefully that helps.

Strange that 2x G34 Gen5 have excellent triggers with more rounds through them.

Am wondering why this is. Is it because some sort of coating has worn off? Or perhaps because of wear on a part of the trigger housing or frame? What is wearing?

The Gen 5 kit comes with a trigger (trigger shoe), new trigger bar and new connector. The Gen 3/4 kit Apex sells includes all of that but also a safety plunger that is more smooth.

I suspect changing the connector and trigger bar on my gen 5 G19. My problem is the Apex trigger (trigger shoe) on the gen 5 models only (not Gen 3/4) causes me to rub the trigger guard with my trigger finger. The trigger pull itself is very smooth (better than the stock gen 5 trigger).

I purchased my gen 5 G 19 a month or so after they hit the US market. When was that? 2017-18? I honestly cannot remember. Yes, many have complained about the trigger becoming gritty after 1000 rounds.

Thanks for all of the replies

I would describe it as a creepy like pull or getting more “grit”. No longer a smooth pull or press to the rear so to speak. It’s like something inside is grinding on something. When I took it apart and detail cleaned it, I saw nothing wrong.

I have a new G45 for the wife and the trigger still feels smooth after 700-800 rounds or so.
