Okay, I need some help. Sometimes I grab the trigger and am enough off-center that I don't get the little trigger lever pushed back in order to pull the trigger. Quite annoying.

Is there any mechanical reason not to drill out the pin and remove that center trigger lever?

Thanks

Sell it and buy a CZ.....

I finally have a couple Glock 26's that were and are 100% reliable no matter what. And who doesn't need a 30-round magazine?

Been through Glocks. KelTecs, and Kahrs that weren't. The never fail Glock stories are myths. My CZ's were a bit too heavy compared to the Glocks.

Find me a good AIWB holster for the CZ Rami and I may go back!

Not a Glock shooter myself (Tried it, not my favorite. Thinking of buying one though.) but it sounds like an indexing issue when drawing. Similar to pushing sideways on a 1911 trigger. For a mechanical soulution, I'd think you'd have to pin the center lever in place as if it were being depressed. The only other solution I can think of is building muscle memory by repeated drawing and firing/dry firing.

It's not a hardware issue. Though you could remove the safety I'd advise against it.

You're right, Ryan. I did mean to mention that but got side tracked.

Damm Will, don't do that!!

You are not putting your finger on the trigger correctly.

I would get rid of the gun before I modified it that way.

Learn to properly address the trigger or sell/trade the gun.

Will, do not remove the safety lever.

I think you might be putting too much of your trigger finger into the trigger guard, and applying sideways pressure instead of only rearward pressure.

[I used a Glock for the last few years as my duty gun, due to "rules". I shot probably 250,000+ rounds through Glocks...]

It just takes some practice, try to put no more than your finger to the first joint, and then press straight back.

I have taught hundreds of people to shoot glocks never had one with this trouble. Frist time for any thing I guess.

Maybe its to many big bores for Will. He will have to learn to adjust his grip or go to something else.

I would like to see his grip and finger on the trigger to help him.

Some times the hardest people to instruct are those who have done a lot of shooting.

Excellent advice! I wouln't recommend removingthe safety especially on a carry gun. Some good practice should allow you to build muscle memory and not have further problems. if not, find a differant gun.

Here is the "deal" Will.

On most guns you can start out with a fair amount of sideways trigger pressure, and then as it transitions to rearward pressure the trigger "gets pulled".

On a Glock, IF you are starting out with a lot of sideways trigger pressure, and not pressing the "safety lever" then you may be locking up the trigger before you finger has switched to rearward pressure.

On ANY GUN when your finger first touches the trigger it should immediately "think" straight back. NO sideways pressure should be applied.

Try a S&W M&P, the whole trigger is the lock, no annoying little button in the center of the trigger. Not sure what these are supposed to do, most AD's on re-holstering are due to failing to remove finger from trigger or catching some clothing, strap etc. on holstering the gun. The little button on the Glock tends to beat the tip of my trigger finger to death.

As far as I know, you could take the dingus out of the trigger and it would still function correctly. I wouldn't do it in a carry gun but you didn't ask about that.

The S&W M&P/Sigma or Walther P99 triggers are a better design IMHO.

There's no help for a Glock trigger. They're squishy and mushy.

The "dingus" you want to remove is the interlock with the connector bars that block/release the striker. Basically, and you can probably read about all this in your Owner's Manual, it's the "safety" inasmuch as Glock has a safety on their guns.

And so if you remove it, first off you've voided any warranty you have for your Glock.

Second, you've removed the interlock that keeps the striker from bumping loose and contacting the primer. This lever is connected to linkage in the receiver that blocks the striker. Chances are, you remove the lever and you've removed the mechanism that "unblocks" the striker. Glock has three blocks in a sequential linkage for the striker if I recollect.

Basically you're thinking about removing all the safety overrides that keep the Glock from shooting you in the leg while it's in the holster.

Glock put a lot of thought and engineering into that dingus. It's there because SAMMI says it needs to be.

Glock trigger system sux. But mechanically it's sound -- even if it is squishy and mushy. If you're such a Bubba that you can't seem to get your finger onto it accurately, you're probably more Bubba than is qualified to do gunsmith work on the mechanism.

As far as you know . . . You'd be wrong. Remove the "release" and the connector won't release. The gun probably won't fire.

I am not certain but assuming you have short fingers you might have an issue reaching most long travel double action handguns. My advise is to buy a 1911 and add a short trigger and slim grips. Problem solved.

If your fingers are long enough than its clearly a practice makes perfect solution. Draw and dry fire it until you get proficient.
