I Iinstalled one of these in My G19 and took it out today. The install was absurdly easy. Punch out pins, fish out ambi lever and block, drop in new unit, put in ambi levers and block, plus pins...done. Five minutes max. Probably 3 minutes if you have a second gun to swap one into.
It improved the weight of the trigger. It is almost exactly 4 lbs now. I would say it is the general VP9/PPQ class now. I shot 150 rounds of ball FMJ and it ran perfectly.
I paid $60 from Botach and it definitely seems worth the price (even at 99). The install is SO easy and the peace of mind of having factory parts is nice.
I don't have as sophisticated a palate as a lot of you guys when it comes to triggers. It definitely improved over the factory trigger and I do walkbacks to 100 yards with my aim point acro just for silliness and it seemed to make that a touch easier.
Good, cheap, easy option AFAICT
Just to summarize so far in my wait and see phase on this trigger, the consensus is that this basically gives a Glock a VP9/PPQ/PDP type trigger pull. The trade-off is you have to clean the gun and lube the trigger every 1000 rounds or so, which some find unacceptable. Am I in the ballpark?
That seems to be the case. Unlike the guy in the video, I did follow the instructions and lube it because "I am about that life," to use his phrase. I tend to clean my guns every session or at least every two or three sessions so I likely never would have noticed the issue he has seen. But I will keep an eye out for it and report if I notice any weirdness.
I'm also about that life. I clean Glocks about once a month while my AR bolts are in an ultrasonic cleaner. If it takes over 1000 rounds to gum up I can deal with that. If I'm shooting 1000 rounds in one day, I'm having way too much fun to get upset about the trigger needing to be blasted with brake cleaner.
I guess a fair question is if this trigger also reduces reliability if the gun gets exposed to sand, mud, or water. Can it get obstructed easier than the traditional assembly in harsh conditions or is it specifically carbon fouling over time? The PPQ, PDP, and VP9 seem to still have good reliability.
