I know your reasoning is yours, but it seems a bit of a stretch. It gives me not carrying one in the chamber vibes. I trust the GPT so much it is in my duty carry and backup duty carry. Had it for 2 months and approaching 3000 rounds
I love the trigger for sure and I always have one in the chamber for over 20 years...lol. I've carried the GPT EDC since it was introduced. But, if I can be honest...I only feel 85-90% sure that its safety is flawless. I have 4 GPTs in total. My competition and a few others all have the triggers installed. This idea of wanting absolute certainty only applies to my EDC's. I've shot over 8k rounds with the GP triggers. It works, but for me...it will remain in my training and competition guns. Respectfully...be safe in your duties.
Had a massive failure of the GPT today at a competition. Dead trigger, tap rack, dead trigger, tap rack, pulled the trigger hard and it felt spongey then AD’d into the berm with no discernible break. Granted, I had about 700 rounds without cleaning the trigger (did a simple clean and lube of the slide at 300, but the GPT requires special maintenance).
@@Libertarian_Neighbor not sure what happen. I would surely send it back to glock for inspection. But, this is an example of why being the first is never good. Lucky this happen in a competition setting. Please keep me posted on the cause of the issue if discovered. Thank for sharing
@@ckim420 timney was the originator. Glock perfected their design. Timney give light strikes and poor trigger return. The GPT shots everytime and feels nice. So I will say with confidence that the Glock product is better.
the Glock performance triggers are very much like those triggers that are commonly found in the M&P and PDP which I have not had any problems with so when the gpt came out I followed the directions cleaning, oiling and installing it and here nearly nine months later with no problems to report, practice, practice and practice even more as I do with all three brands and I assure you that no matter which platform you use you will become good no matter what!
@@boomee78 Thank you for confirming my intuition and engineering sense. I know this system and I know for sure if you want the sure security of Glocks drop safety the oem trigger system must be used. With that said, I still love how the GPT transforms the Glocks. Thank you for the confirmation.
I dont understand people saying, " You won't see/use your sights in a self-defense encounter." This is why we train to develop muscle memory etc. You moght not remember seeing your sights, but if you've trained extensively, I promise you'll use your sights as a natural reaction. I believe it was Wyatt Erpp who, when asked how he won so many actual gun fights, said, " I aleays saw and used my sights," which mean shots on target where the looser just fired quick and missed. Good video.
Respect... But within 7 yards or more I doubt if you will see your sights or get out of your holster as fast as you would with a non threatening/ steel or paper target that won't shoot you back or charge after you with something that could potential harm you severely. Quotes from ones book won't help you nor do I want to put their theories to the test. Peace
@Gypsyman40 eith adrenaline pumping and a life potentially on the line the focus won't be just getting shots off, it's stopping the threat and the best, fastest way to fo that is getting sights on target. If " spray and pray" works, then so be it. But , rather have it ingrained in me " no sights, no stop"
@@ShooterReview As Mike Tyson is often quoted as saying all the training in the world is a good thing and may even help until reality hits you in the face with a fist so one never knows what one may do in such dire circumstances until it actually happens!
Great information. Thanks for sharing your insight. I normally keep all my Glocks stock. The only thing I've changed is maybe a red dot but I'm not really a red dot guy, I'm old school OG Iron sights
It's thoroughly drop safe. As long as you keep everything else stock, you'll never have a problem to worry about. Just be sure to follow the instructions and keep it lubed.
Man might consider doing the Alpha Trigger, it uses the same Glock parts except the trigger, it has all the Glock safeties, but the trigger break is the same
Well to be honest, there is definitely a difference in the trigger weight and feel when comparing the two. Remember it's about disturbing the front sight or dot less. The GPT does this and the follow up shots should be faster. In my experience... Respectfully
People have been saying that the Timney trigger is not drop safe for the same reason. I.e., the sear can drop when the trigger is not pulled since it's not attached to the cruciform and thus not held up by the shelf. The firing pin safety should prevent a discharge, but I agree that it doesn't seem as safe as the original design.
Out of not paying attention of where i was laying my g19 with the gpt installed months ago it fell from the table and hit the concrete hard and didn't go off, truth to tell I wasn't even thinking about that as much as I was worried that my Holosun eps was broken but it seems that it was good to go too!
I'm on that same exact tip bro. look up the 25 cent Glock trigger upgrade. I did it to my 26 and it is worlds smoother than my 43x. They felt similar before I did it and now it feels like a half a pound lighter but way more butter start to finish.
Is that a tymney alpha trigger or performance glock trigger because theres an absolute difference the glock performance trigger pulls around 4.5lbs vs the tymney alpha trigger which pulls at 2lbs in some glocks but usually in that 2.5-3lb range also the tymney alpha trigger which im sure is what your recording is made for competition use and not for edc so i as well would be scared shit less if i carried that i own the gen 5 26 as well as glock 45 and run the apex tactical trigger in both zero malfunctions and both pull at 3.5lbs perfect for edc and not worried about cheddar bobbing. ‼️‼️
I have the glock performance trigger on the 19 gen 5, 19x and 45 because the stock trigger is very gritty like that FN509 and I hate it thats what made to switch out the stock trigger to the performance trigger and I haven't looked back
Yes. I love the GPT as well. To be honest... in the unfortunate event of having to use your EDC, and I hope this day never comes, you will not feel if your trigger feels gritty... Lol. Respect...
I have the Overwatch TAC trigger (Polished Trigger Bar), 3lbs Ghost Edge Connector, and polished my OEM Glock Plunger on Gen5 Glock19 MOS. I 100% trust this setup on my Glock. 🤘
I’m with you. I’d avoid the Timney for the same reason. For EDC I’d stick to Apex or Overwatch (which supposedly are the only two aftermarket triggers accepted for duty use by police departments).
Hi Quick question Just purchased the Glock performance trigger everything looks good and it’s performing well but when I remove the slide to take the gun apart I notice that the side plate is making contact with the metal piece that holds the fire pin I have to pull it alittle hard for it to come out or just press the trigger just a little bit so that metal piece can have clearance Is this normal?
Yes, in order to take the gun apart with the GPT you must hold down the trigger. It will be alittle catchie the slide and frame but this is the way and its normal with this trigger. don't force anything...
I have over 12000 rounds on my GPT G45 EDC from nightly COF training. It has lightened up from 4.12 to 3.11. After researching past few days the answer from the expert JG says the key is to use an OEM plus connector. It’s now on order along with a JG drop in kit as I heard fantastic reviews about it.
Where do I get this oem plus connector? I’m getting a 4.5 gpt on unlimited for 77 shipped for my new g45 and would like it setup good and can’t afford JG stuff
@@beforedeth2104 There is nothing wrong with the oem flat trigger shoe that comes with your GPT. You can get the oem plus connector from Glocks website. I would give a few other websites but Im not sponsored by any of them. With that said, check on NDZperformance.com as well.
@@Gypsyman40 Installed this on my friends similar setup, whose trigger also lightened up. She didn't like the plus connector heavier pull so we bought her a new dot connector, the same one that ships with the GPT (5.5 pounds) and now it feels like the way it was when new. I am happy with my JG drop in kit so no longer using the GPT in mine.
It is my profession to be in stressful situations and it all depends on the distance of the threat and how fast you need to stop said threat. You finding your sights will not be faster than me point shooting and that is if you remember using your sights which I doubt. Respectfully... P.S. I believe you may be local to me...we can always put this theory to the test and a range near us. Peace...
It depends on the how you are going to use it. For competition, the performance trigger is great. It is not made for EDC even though you can EDC it if you like.
If you ever get in a self defense gunfight you probably want that heavier trigger and won’t feel the weight of it anyway. Let’s pray that never happens. I also carry a G19/23/32 on a daily basis and have for 27 years.
Also my opinion on GPT is straight “money gig” glock knows what there doing there’s literally lil to no difference between stock triggers so why not spend a extra $50-$100 and get something better but yea thats just my two cents maybe im wrong 🤷🏾♂️
