SAFETY CHECKS & SAFETY TESTS highly educational only 

I am impressed! I was a firearms instructor for a number of years and I have seen some bubba BS on these sites. This guy’s research and instructional expertise is phenomenal. I thought I knew the GLOCK basics but I have come up short. I trust his insight and love the disclaimer this is “educational only”. Man you assume the risks when you touch a weapon. So don’t fiddle “F” with it unless you are VERY sure of your fiddling! Will continue following your work sir.

If anyone does not understand this information should not be doing modifications to their firearms...period! Good video man!

I tend to run a 5 pound trigger spring and a 5 pound striker spring for what I do, it doesn’t need to feel any lighter than that. Polished to make it a smooth pull without stutters.

Johnny you're Awesome and the way you help out Tactical toolbox understand how it works was once again Awesome. Keep up the good work and thank you for helping others.

And that's why I got your combat system instead of learning how to polish parts, grind parts and swap out to unsafe springs from a diy'er gomer on RU-vid. Love your content and your work Johnny, thanks for being here for us

Thanks for the information. I wish there were more conscientious armorers out there like you. After thirty-five years in law enforcement, four of which as a range officer, and five on the sector pistol team, I have learned that there is no substitute for safety. Things get ugly in a hurry, especially when you least expect it. Not only are you an extremely amazing armorer, you are experienced in life and the teachings thereof. GREAT VIDEO.

I was a safety officer at an IDPA match. A guy with a 1911 was putting his hand over the ejection port to empty the chamber. I told him not to. On a later stage I was not the safety officer and he did it. The primer hit the ejector, went off, and put a hole in the web of his hand. He was very very lucky it did not hit bone or a major vessel. I cleaned and bandaged it and told him to go get professional help. No idea if he did. I just mention that to confirm your statement that seeing a negligent discharge will change your perspective on safety.

I consider myself lucky to have come across your channel. Thank you thank you!

Aka Jesse from fast and the furious. I kid man, great video and great work.

Thanks for this. Once again you prove the safety of you triggers.

Your comments on the Tactical Tool Box video were spot on. Awesome work man, thanks for all your hard work in putting out useful videos.

This guy knows his stuff, stay safe people

Digging the hairdo Johnny. 😎 thanks for your videos…..

Thanks for the tips and knowledge. Keep the videos coming.

So glad to see u post a video. Thanks for sharing this video. It will help on saving life’s!!

You really work hard to earn your spot. I appreciate you sharing the knowledge Sir Johnny Glock.

Ladies and Gentlemen Johnny is a Glock God ! ...I just happen to be lucky enough to live a few miles away from his shop. I have owned a 21 2nd Gen for the last 25 years a 36 3 Gen also a 21 4th Gen and recently a 17 4th Gen and Johnny has triggered them all to PERFECTION ..... Enough said ! From the old Jersey Cop.

Excellent video. 👍 thank you. Very helpful because I only knew 70% of this information. Now I can be way more strict in verifying I have a safe weapon after cleaning, or if I choose to upgrade with a 3rd party trigger kit or “performance” part. Seriously, Much thanks.

Very informative sir. New subscriber after reading your comment on Tactical Toolbox's video. Thank you!

Thanks... always looking for a new video from you.

Safety check 2 - drop shelf has a little play, but firm when pushed down onto the shelf, it’s not falling off the shelf at all. and 3 striker safety - plunger safety works and can move striker back and forth by hand, but if I just push plunger and abs shake slide the striker is too stiff to move, so no rattle. It’s dry, clean, no debris etc

Thanks for all the tips

Well said my dude. I hope alot of people see this and let it sink in. No one is above safety. 🤘🏼🍻

Awesome Johnny! Like always, thank you.

Very informative and important to know. Thank you for making the video.

Love my jg trigger. Great point and superior explanation.

Great video with traffic information. Thank you. And all the nicknames in the beginning were a riot. Thanks for posting

This was Beautiful Sir.

I have never held a glock or even shot one but today I purchased a g43x I got home and ordered your combat package with the striker and a connector I have always carried a sig compact 1911 I liked the idea of a striker fired gun but the thought of retraining my self to a long take up squishy break with over travel sounded like too much of a compromise then i saw your video of the pawn shops wife's gun with the pink barrel and was amazed at what i saw a 1911 trigger on a glock so my new journey begins thanks johnny

thanks for this video, my p80 build passed your tests makes me feel better.

Thanks, I really appreciate that. SAFETY is paramount.

AKA David Byrne of the Talking Heads if he left music to become a Glock Whisperer. Great content! I will definitely ordering soon.

good stuff...especially for P80 builds as they can come up with all kinds of tolerance issues.

Good info. Safety is #1.

Good info! Thanks!

Thank you, I had no idea that there were three tests to perform. I will check my Glocks when I get home.

Thanks god bless you

The Steve Buscemi one is pretty accurate. With that said my polymer 80 trigger can be pushed forward and set without racking the slide or reactivating the striker. That might not make sense but I don’t know how else to explain it.

Haters are Validators. Hey JG...you do realize the haters comment when they are feeling an extreme lack of confidence while comparing themselves against you (or whoever they are trolling). Don’t forget that.

Spot on from the premier Glockolojest..👍👍

Johnny Glock is so Florida…Idk if i could ever pull that off.

Hey I wanted to know how much change makes a glock unsafe ,i have a zev 4pound striker spring I'm polishing the triger ,what I wanted to know is a 3.5 connector from ghost, the edge and the rocket as well as the pro ,are they safe ,I'm running a standard glock gen 3 triger in my gen 4 ,one last thing is with the ghost connectors i had to buy the ghost spring kit ,should I put them in

Always going to be the Glock Whisperer

Johnny, anything you can tell us about striker springs mixed with recoil springs, +P rounds. Extra power springs and reduced power recoil springs, ect..., Damage to firearm, ect...

more videos man... special request.. i have noticed the new Glock 43x (i own) uses same 43 parts but frame tolerances are different. some i picked up felt good some were really hard and ruff. mine picked by dealer from back happened to be ruff.. no worries your videos smoothed it out feels really good. had to work striker plate some flaking (nice video on that one) also sanded a bit inside were transfer bar rubs frame but noticed a slight diagonal pinch on transfer bar that makes the cruciform wanna push firmer on connector. i know your in the wild and have seen more then me. any suggestions or tips for this model, also polished internals firing pin etc.. you don't have to answer just do a video if you see fit. also on that note the g43x finish ! Even though silver throws me off is TOUGH as nails to anyone reading comments. even more so then old Teflon jobs.. I apologize i'm not spending money with you as you deserve but definately getting a trigger soon man, and i mention you to anyone getting into guns. Wish your business well man ok rant over !

How often should all these safety springs be replaced?? Can the firing pin safety ever fail due to wear and allow the firing pin to fire?

once again thank you for putting out correct/factual content out there.

I never knew about Johnny til recently and at first I was thinking who is this guy fucking with peoples trigger assemblies.. But then I started watching more and realized he actually is talking all the precautions and steps to get these tweaked just like the major manufacturers are... he's just giving a little more personalization based on the shooter and shooter's preferences. When you start messing with glock internals enough it becomes straight forward enough to verify exactly the things he's showing and it's all pretty intuitive. There are limits to what can be done transforming lower parts to lower tolerances but the outcomes seem very respectable. I get the impression Glock has noticeably higher standards in their polymer frames compared to p80's though. My experience messing with P80's is the slight improvements can come together with other small variables to provide a worse end result sometimes.

Excellent video, be carful calling a firearm a weapon though, the definition of a weapon is “a thing designed or used for inflicting bodily harm or physical damage”, those of us who who abide the laws do not carry weapons, we carry firearms

You are a serious trigger guru, you are the Morpheus (MATRIX) of the Glock Trigger World!

BTW please answer, do u run OEM guide rod assembly or stainless steel/tungsten and what spring weight on or with which one u use....for carry and for comp.?

Appreciate the vid but some zoomed angles would've been nice

I just naught a Spinta Precision’s 17L slide and I’m about to do my first handgun build. Do you have any tips, frame recommendations, triggers, sights, barrels? I’m thinking about getting into 3 gun.( hence the 17L) I saw the extended barrel in one of your vids”let’s see how accurate you’ll be with this in your 17L”😳 I love your vids Johnny!!! Keep them coming bro!!

rock on man glad to see you

You're the man Johny.

You do look like a mad scientist tho. Nonetheless, the Glock community is lucky to have you.

hey man, really liked this video, got here looking for LCP II drop test data ... any chance you have considered testing one of those?

Ain’t can u n awhile buddy missed the vids man put out the vids more if u can bud keep up the good work

excellent video as always 👍

One thing I haven't seen explained yet: how does the backplate change the striker/sear geometry? On one of my builds when I use a glock factory back plate or aftermarket I occasionally get doubles where the striker is released when I'm attempting to reset the striker. I put on a see through armorers back plate and engagement looked good and I couldn't get the behavior to reoccur through dry fire or at the range. Is it possibly a different thickness so that the striker is held in a slightly different location?

I just wanna know is I polish all the right points, with the 5.5 connector and trigger/ safety plunger, what springs would you lighten or change, if any.

Hey when I press on my cruciform it has about a millimeter of movement down and then it springs back up. Almost like it can wiggle a little. Everything’s stock except for a factory minus connector.

Hey man! Have you worked with the Vickers tactical trigger yet? I have a gen 5 trigger on the way, and I’m wondering how much I can or need to trim off the back of the safety. I’ve already placed a post inside the trigger block shelf, I have bout half engagement between the cruciform arm, and the shelf. I stayed conservative with it.

Good job.

I hate the Glock trigger , so I installed a comp spring set and polished the parts ( stock connector) . Now it has an avg pull weight of 3.11 lb but the take up and reset still sucks ( to far) I've seen a few methods to remove take up but I'm reluctant to modify it any more . I feel Glock knows they have a shitty trigger and should change it.

That hair is glorious !!

My man! Johnny rocks!

What if all your safety checks check out but when i depress the safety plunger i don't get that rattle sound and it isn't real smooth when i pull on the striker with the slide off. do i need to replace the channel liner? This is my first gun i have built and it isn't real smooth when i pull the striker back and i did hit it in with a hammer not real hard but i did knock it in there.

Just did the drop test on my 19 that I have put a at least 500 in aftermarket crap...knocked the back sights out of center....

You indicate the when pressed, the cruciform should be solid, does that mean absolutely no movement whatsoever? Or is some slight movement downward acceptable?

Wat would cause the cruciform to have play downwards when pressed on

finally Sensei!! miss you man best Glock man period mad respect

Jst subscribed! Thanks for your video

when i polished the trigger bar and my connector it became automatic firing, what can i do to bring it back to its normal firing its a glock23 gen4

Why I carry a 92fs

Dude where the hell have you been

Whoever's messing with the camera, please stop!!

Anderson Cooper with bed head lol

I GOT ONE!!: The zaney scientist who helps the hero in the sci-fi movie!!

Sir jhon i would like my glovk 34 gen 5 trigger to adjust my trigger weight and slack.. Pls help me.. Thank u sir

That's a pretty headband

Awwww snap he got a cameraman

Definitely a live action Rick from Rick and Morty

Kingpin of Glock triggers 👌🏻

Great video Johnny! Thank you!

The 6 pound trigger spring and the 4 pound firing pin spring are not at the same angle. You aren't getting the entire 6 pounds counteracting the 4 pound spring. Splitting hairs perhaps, but that's physics.

I have Glock 34 all Zev modifications why is my safety plunger hitting shelf on firing pin ledge is it dry fire improper take down I have installed 3 Zev plungers with Zev fulcrum and Zev striker any help would be appreciated maybe it's timing, lose slide fit poor design, trigger bar to late not lifting soon or high enough.

not to call him out but tactical tool box trigger video yesterday made me cringe

This should be required viewing for all the yahoos out there screwing with their triggers.

Just got done with same tests, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and that big word "RISK' Saving for future glock owners

Ranger Proof shoes are NOT drop safe

OK some of your videos have turned me off - a ball peen hammer on the slide to “tighten the rails” for example. However, THIS is the highest quality content possible. Thank you.

whats even worst is if you fumble your pistol then trying then to grab it very dangerous let it fall sorry at least you won't shot youself.

You need to brush your hair. 😂

When dropped, they tend to land on the slide (handle up), the inertia of impact may well compress the firing pin safety spring just enough to allow the firing pin to move forward....perhaps not. Lesson: Don't drop your Glock ! Thanks Johnny !

Seems like every JG vid I watch, there's 5 down votes. I'm starting to think the same 5 idiots are doing this.

Thank you for obliterating the stereotypical gun owner persona. You could actually be the best type voice for millennials with regards to education on importance of 2A rights. That hair lol. Good job👍✌🏻

To the hobo who down voted this. I dare you to drop your gun.

You are not supposed to drop your gun.
