**The OFFICIAL GL Firearms thread**

Shoot it and get used to it IMO.

1911s are single action pistols, therefore the triggger pull is much lighter.

Glocks are strikerfired, safer for carry but that trade-off is a heavier trigger pull.

Also, not something I agree with, but something I have heard, is that doing trigger work (ie lightening the trigger pull) to a pistol used in a defensive scenario could create some legal troubles. My buddy (lawyer) tells me its nonsense..

Either way, a glock is a very accurate gun once you get used to the trigger. I use my g19 when I shoot IDPA, although I did just buy a g17 for that role..

I actually prefer strikerfired and dao pistols over single action/double action pistols now personally.

This is a great, cheap, easy upgrade for glock triggers. Takes all of about 1 minute to do. Smooths out the overall pull, shortens the reset, and makes the break crisper

I had him check it out. Turns out the trigger was jacked up. He showed me a new one and what it should feel like and it was a huge difference. He said mine was taking probably 10 lbs of pressure to get it to break. No wonder.

i've read that same thing about reloaded ammo..

Speaking of Glock. I picked this baby up this weekend at my lgs. Had them install Trijicon night sights. Now I need to find a holder to potentially carry. Thinking a Blackhawk SERPA holdster. I was looking at DeSantis but those did not seem to have a locking feature like hte Blackhawks. Can't wait to break it in this weekend hopefully.

calling all gun nerds... your forensic expertise is needed in the OT thread.

Oh and heres my new score from last night can't wait to shoot it

depends on what your plans are for the holster. My daily carry (IWB w/ shirt tucked in over it) is a Comp Tac MTAC Minotaur holster. What I like about it is that it is completely adjustable and if I ever wanted to carry a different gun the kydex part of it is interchangeable to any number of popular firearms so you only need one paddle.

It is also very easy to make your own custom leather from a holster. My dad noticed that there werent any two magazine holsters for the M&P Shield so he took a mold of my mags, bought leather and some leather working tools, and made a perfect fit custom mag holster. Once that was done he made a mold my the Shield and made a perfect fit custom leather holster. So now I have a matching set for the cost of ~$75 and a weekend.

I will post photos when I have a chance.

Very nice, I love the blackhawk serpas, although I have heard certain competitions wont let you use them for safety issues (as many ride the retention release into the trigger) But I dont have a problem with em!

Are people incorrectly loading the pistol into the SERPA holdsters for it to ride release into the trigger?
