Thanks!

This is very close to my experience. Liked the GPT a lot at first, but it seemed like performance degraded somewhat after about 1500 rounds, and I swapped it out.

My preferred trigger that I have on all three of my current Gen 5 Glocks, from Overwatch:
* NP3'd OEM minus connector
* DAT aluminum trigger shoe

That combo gives about a 4.5 lb trigger press, with reduced pre-travel and more ergonomic for my finger on the trigger blade. Otherwise, it keeps all the characteristics of OEM trigger. Combined with an SCD, it's a good carry setup for me that keeps OEM internals and safety, but gives a somewhat improved trigger.

ETA: Forgot to add, another advantage of this setup is that it has the maintenance schedule of an ordinary Glock OEM trigger. It doesn't need the more frequent lube schedule that the GPT does.

I really want to try their FALX trigger because the face itself is curved. Most flat faced triggers have a square trigger front which is wider which doesn't ususally jive with me.

I have a falx and love it

I still remember my initial impressions of the new Glock trigger -- awesome compared to my dot connector stock set-up.

By chance, I ended up with an Apex trigger that came on a 26 I purchased from a forum member. I ended up really liking it, and stuck some in a few carry pistols. Anecdotally, I preferred them to the Glock performance trigger, but that wasn't based on extensive testing. I really saw the Apex as being an EDC trigger and the new performance trigger for competition. Lately, I haven't given much thought to this.

Since I carry a Glock, I shoot at least a few mags each range session to maintain proficiency, with the bulk of my practice with my Open gun. At some point I figured out, to shoot the Glock close to my Open gun, I need to do everything right with grip and arm extension. Lately, I have done my Glock shooting at the beginning of my practice, as it tests fundamentals so obviously, and sets me up well for the Open gun.

My last two practice sessions, I haven't shot the Glock as well, but haven't understood why. Today, I realized I had been shooting a Glock with a performance trigger the two days. I then pulled out my 19 with the Apex trigger, and doing arrays I was right back to where I was before.

In dry fire, the Performance trigger feels better, but in live fire I am faster but especially more accurate with the Apex. If I had to guess why, it is because the Apex breaks quite a bit forward of the Glock performance trigger.

This is why I run Apex shoes on my GPTs. Boresight actually just started offering them last week in this config also.

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?

Fair summary with the caveat that this trigger significantly changes the partially tensioned legacy fire control system to a wry different design.

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.
