Glock 43 trigger

[grover99]

I am thinking about upgrading the trigger on my Glock 43. I pocket carry so I don't want a too light trigger but the trigger could stand some improvement. What are everyone ideas on a good trigger that will not break the bank and allow safe operation.

If it is a carry gun, I would leave it alone. In the unfortunate event you need that gun for self protection it is not worth the extra effort explaining to the jury why you felt the need to go to an aftermarket trigger.
The only time I would deviate from that is if the manufacturer offers something as a factory part. ie. Glock 17 vs. G19 triggers.

I agree as well. As expensive as aftermarket triggers are, for a SD gun you're ahead to just learn it as it is. I have tried the NY-1 spring on my G19 and didn't like it much, went back to stock.

Google for the "Glock 25 cent trigger job", just a little polish on specific places. I found it worthwhile. Shoot it a bit and it will work in. I'm happy with mine now.

This! 100 percent.

And .... don't know how much you've shot it but may be nice to have several hundred rounds through it before you make a final decision on what ( if anything ) needs tweaked.

I bought my 43 just before time to re-quality for concealed carry. I put 500 rounds through it the first few days.

I've used the Apex trigger and firing pin safety plunger in my gen4 G17. Big improvement in consistency and still 4-5 pounds. All safeties functional

I shot 500 rounds through my 43 in one outing. Developed a blister on my trigger finger because of the trigger safety.

Installed a aftermarket trigger That’s smoother and polished. No more blisters. It did not change the trigger pull or weight. Well worth the money which was only about $50.00. Some supposed drop in triggers, trigger bars, and disconnectors can change the geometry and cause problems. I have a a Glock armorer do mine as well as test for function.

There is no more or less proof that altering a gun will be detrimental in court. It’s a chance I’m willing to take.

My friend (RIP) was an instructor, a crack shot, a gunsmith, Nam Vet 2 tours, and an all around handgun aficionado as well as rifles and long distance shooting. Anyway, he told me if you would happen to defend yourself with your handgun, it's best to have factory loads in your gun should you shoot somebody in self defense. I would imagine a lawyer or district attorney would use that against you, also, if you had a trigger job done on your ccw as well as hot-loaded cartridges. Just something to think about. I'm in PA; maybe other states don't care. I don't want to find out! Also, I don't want to shoot anyone, but, better them than me! Quaker Oats (twisted) quote: "Nothing is worse for thee than me!"

I used to disagree with this but these activist prosecutors have made me reconsider my outlook. Even though we all know a refined trigger makes a firearm safer, I can see them using it to railroad an innocent man.

BTW, my Glock 43 is completely stock.

I agree with the others, use the trigger it came with. I have a 43 and if
the trigger on yours is anything like the trigger on mine it is not likely
to go off in your pocket!!!

The best way to make your Glock 43 trigger better is to replace it with a Sig P365.
