Man Johnny! I’ve been shooting and working on my personal glocks for around 15 years and I thought I knew my way around a Glock. You just blew my mind with this latest knowledge bomb. You are pure genius my brother! I love it!
He is an absolute genius and his knowledge is so valuable..such an inspiration and kind for sharing his knowledge with us. Thank you Johnny glock we in the community definitely appreciate you more then you know
You are a Genius on triggers, you explain very well when you are not doing OCD on the camera angles. Thank you giving that job to someone else. PS I will buy your book.
I'd like to add: I just bought the Johnny Glocks Evolution X Drop-in Combat Trigger System with the add ons of the flat faced metal shoe and striker. I can honestly say - there is no G43X that will compare to mine! It has the best trigger and action I've ever felt on any Glock! Absolutely AMAZEBALLS!
Thank you, Johnny Glock, working in a guns shop I found up that your knowledge open new horizons for me . Amazing, simple, and sharpens my abilities to solve problems with clients and explains exactly how Glock runs properly. You good.
Thanks for talking to me on the phone today. I appreciate the knowledge and wisdom. I said I was gonna wait a couple months but decided to just pull the trigger and placed my order. Thanks again.
As a machinist in my earlier life, this stuff is COOL. Your videos are EXCELLENT! I am learning a lot of awesome and useful information! Thanks for what you both do, I'm hooked.
I learned more in this connector video than the previous one. More info presented here in less space. That's efficiency. Excellent job explaining the nuances. Great stuff!
AWESOME!!! Yes, very awesome videos, and always much appreciated Johnny. Never a video of yours that I don't come away from learning something new. Please keep them coming and I don't think there is a person that thinks your rambling...it knowledge your sharing. Thank you again.
Another thing I believe controls how “snappy” a reset is the type of steel the connector is made out of and how springy the steel is. I personally like the Glock dot connector in my Gen 2 & 3 Glocks. I hate the “creep” in the minus connector.
Hey Johnny. Just wanted to say I like all your info video's on glocks. I was having massive trigger problems. And thanks to you I was able to figure it out. Thanks again, and keep up the good work
Johnny, I’m just seeing your videos for the first time and I appreciate what you’re saying and how you say it. This was an awesome video on Glock connectors. You completely twisted my brain to understand a lot more about the Glock connector and the different approach angles with their subsequent trigger output. Well done! ID LOVE TO SEE MORE ON WHAT ARE THE RESULTANT TRIGGER ACTIONS WHEN YOU CHANGE THE CONNECTOR ANGLE RELATIVE TO THE TRIGGER HOUSING. In converse to the resultant trigger actions when changing the connector angle of engagement in relation to the trigger bar. Hope this make sense…cheers! More, give us more!!
I'm pretty green when it comes to Glock, and I've been devouring your videos trying to figure out the best trigger set up for my Gen 35 that will be used for Limited USPSA. Right now, I use a Canik TP9SFX with a Freedomsmith trigger, and Galloway Precision lightened spring kit. Almost no take up, zero over travel, sitting around 3lbs. I'd like to build something similar but jesus am I deep in the weeds trying to figure out what to do. Thank for these incredible videos...I'm learning a ton, including learning that I have a lot to learn!
Great video, I finally understand the break point and the contact point and the distance varies with the different connector angles. Great job illustrating.
Great informative video as always, love you're channel and your work bro, seriously nobody puts out the tech stuff like you....thanks as always and keep up the awesome work 💪
I finally bought my first Glock clone, the Polymer80 PFC9 and bought two parts to mod it's trigger. The Ghost Edge 3.5 kit and a Zev Flat faced non adjustable pro trigger. Using the lighter safety plunger spring along with the 4 lb. striker spring I ended up with a 2.5 pound trigger pull. (Much lighter than I expected) This isn't a carry pistol and I would think it would be dangerous to do so. But this combination along with the Ghost 6 lb. trigger return spring, I ended up with a faster and lighter trigger than any of my other pistols including my 1911. This only cost $128 total.
About the 5th time watching this video and I always learn something when I do. I just swapped in the apex trigger and connector and idk if I felt that much of a difference on the break compared to the dot. Gen 5 G45. Looking at a minus or a ghost edge next to test and maybe tune.
Great explanation for us interested in trigger functionality. Have you ever thought of building a large scale wooden mock up of the Glock trigger system? It would be easier for us to understand exactly how it is functioning. Thanks, you truly the Trigger King. Much appreciated!
Amazing vid. Very knowledgeable presentation. One question I’ve looking for a trigger jig similar what you used on this video the orange or gray jig. Would you share info on where to get those jigs?
For my G45 I’m looking for the cleanest break. No rolling break. Not worried about the speed of the reset. It will reset faster than I can shoot. Haha. Would I choose your 5.0 DOT or 5.5 connector? Amazing video. Learned a ton. Keep it up.
You probably know what my problem is. I have a Glock 23 gen 3. I took the Timney Alpha 3-4 trigger out of a 4th gen Glock 17 and put the Timney trigger in my gen 3 Glock 23. I have a dot connector that also came out of the G17 gen 4 and I put that in my gen 3 G23 too. Anyway, my G23 gen 3 will not fire now. I get nothing but the lightest of primer strikes. I put the factory Glock trigger back in my Gen 3 Glock 23 and it shoots just fine again. Is the dot connector not compatable with the Timney Alpha 3-4 trigger?
JG what are your thoughts on the NY trigger spring in your defensive carry trigger group? I have 2 of your carry triggers in my 19’s, I just acquired a Gen 4 23, considering setting it up for .357 Sig daily carry. I was told that the NY spring will function even if the spring breaks not sure if that’s true? As always appreciate your wisdom & expertise! PS. Grew up shooting double action revolves-heavy trigger pull not a prob.
The best connector ever made was the Scherer. I have hoarded 6 of them. I designed the LWD connector for J R Shepard. It took six tries for them to get it right.
Awesome Video brother! FYI, tried the Timney trigger yesterday. I like your competition trigger better. The Timney is nice but the trigger reset is not.
Fascinating! So the Minus connector makes the break longer And softer? And bending the connector in only softens the reset and doesn't make the trigger break lighter?
First off I gotta say man I can understand what you’re explaining so well I literally picture it in my brain brfore you finish “rambling” and actually illustrate what you’re saying. And secondly would you ever consider taking on an outsider apprentice? I seriously want to become a gunsmith and I like your style of teaching man. So I’m serious if you’d consider it please get at me and let me know what I’ve gotta do to get it done.
this is awesome dude! Down here in Brazil I can't find this kind of quality work AND didactic around. Are you planning on recording a full armorer's course on glocks? Even with the fucked up USD/BRL exchange ratio (right now I can barely make 1000 usd/month) I'd scrape up some coins to buy your course! I ain't even an aspiring armorer, I'm just a mechanical engineer who shoots and enjoys learning all kinds of shit about his hard earned and payed for glock hahaha Cheers from Brazil!
Just built a Glock using the freedom wolf frame, all gen 4 oem parts except a zev connector and spring. Gen 5 completely stock g19 slide. Gun is randomly burst firing. Any ideas? Plunger spring is fine.
At 12:34 you're talking about how the reset is shorter on lighter connectors and longer resets on higher pound connecters. There you go. You're the one saying it.
I would definitely enjoy a book about the internal working, nomenclature and the functionality of each part and their relationships to other parts. Especially with all your diagrams, that would be gold to all of us in the glock 80 percent and glock community as a whole.
So if I wanted a solid wall with a short crisp break I need a low deg (80) connector, but if I want a trigger to have a fast reset I need a high deg (100) connector. So to have both a short crisp break and a quick reset I would need to start with a low deg (80) connector and then shave away the bottom circumference of the trigger bar where it meets the connector so that when the trigger bar sits on top of the connector only the top of the trigger bar protrudes past the connector essentially shortening the amount of bar that needs to clear the connector before the reset. Do I have that right?
