Just a suggestion. Clean the polished parts with solvent then lube as you like before install. I have a G26 Gen 5 and thinking of getting this trigger but don't like the idea of having to buy another shoe to make sure it's 100% reliable. I like to polish anything I can on all my firearms to reduce friction. Good video.
Good video you do this better than any other channel, I just bought my first Glock performance trigger because now they come compatible with the G4, so I appreciate your videos glad I found them.
A note on Loctite; if your Loctite formula ends in a 2, it needs Loctite's primer if the matel is coated. Loctite NEEDS access to the bare metal in order to harden. If your Loctite formula ends in a 3, disregard using Loctite's primer. If you'd rather not have to deal with such BS, switch to VC-3. It's cheaper and easier to use.
So coming from the perspective of Glock armorers who I have discussed this video with I can comfortably say that polishing the performance trigger is pointless. The coating on the components that make contact with each other has lubricity. Polishing removes the coating and in effect reduces the efficacy of the coating. This coating is the same that is used on high end BCG’s found on your more costly AR15’s and other firearms. You may temporarily notice slight, very slight differences from polishing, but you ultimately end up voiding the warranty on the trigger system. My advice, leave well enough alone. By the way I also got this information directly from Glock support. Just saying.
Makes no difference at all. Its stainless steel with great lube. You won't feel that just noticeable difference they are describing to you. I have been doing this too long. And my triggers feel is impeccable. I have no malfunctions. More over, I respect your opinion but there is no way of you proving the friction coefficients of a Glock trigger bar outside of a lab. So, my feel test wins...lol...my humble opinion. More important its a Glock
@@UncleFjester nope it doesn't... Lol, I just complete the job while it's out for easy of cleaning. But rest assure I'm very much aware of what touches every part. And the percentage is probably less than 20%...
The G26 is a sleeper great shoot. The trigger was awesome but I decided to use the OEM trigger in the gun for EDC. But when I shot it with the GPT I absolutely loved it with my choice of trigger shoe. Hope this helps...
OMG, you are the man!!!! Thank you so much. The guy from Glock said in the armorer’s class that if the trigger bar comes out, you’re in trouble. What a joke!
I want this performance trigger for the Glock 45 that i am getting next month. But realizing that i got to get another trigger shoe to make sure it's good is the turn off for me personally. I figure if I am going to have to get another trigger shoe i might as well get the entire system from another company. I am down to either TIMNEY TRIGGERS or JOHNNY GLOCKS TRIGGER. Nice video brother and for thos who watch the video that will do what i am going to do it doesn't hurt to still sharw this video because some may want to get the performance trigger and different trigger ahoe because it works for theor situation
A few reasons for not buying other companies trigger: Glock basically took the timney design and made it better as well as functions way better. Admittedly, the trigger shoe is hit or miss. I like the feel of the Glock flat shoe, but you will either get a good one or you can take it to a Smith for a small filing adjustment. With this said, this is a great trigger and will make a night and day difference to your glock. Did I mention the price being lower than the others. Peace
Hey Gypsyman, I'm just wondering how is the Timney Enhanced Feel Trigger Shoe with Glock Performance Trigger going? No problems..?? After watching your video I've contacted Timney Triggers and this was they response: "A: The Enhanced Feel Trigger Shoe for Glock has not been confirmed for proper compatibility with the Glock Performance Trigger, it is intended for use with the factory Glock trigger bar." Please let me know. Cheers ..
It works prefect and I have one for each of my GPT's. With that said, I do understand why they responded like this. For example, the johnny glock vex trigger does change the trigger travel and I can say with all certainty that it should not be installed on any gun you will EDC.
@@jjjoooojjj I would say that because the shoe is flat it may feel like so. It's all about feel really. I like the oem flat shoe that comes with the GPT honestly over the curved oem glock shoe. The timney shoes is just an enhancement for your preference.
Need some help I purchased a Glock performance trigger for my Glock 26 Gen 5 installed it and did a function test looks like it works but when removing the slide to take the gun apart I noticed that the back plate will seat on the firing pin metal piece not letting the slide come off but with a little force am able to release the slide The question is when take the gun apart the back plate rubs and the metal piece where the firing pin seats is this normal please help some one that has this Glock performance trigger
Yes, I adjusted the pretravel that felt good to me which allowed the gun to function safely. To be honest, you cannot really dial out that much pre travel with this shoe.
@@NineteenEighty-Four the new kit as of 2024 can direct fit in the Gen 4's. Before 24' you had to modify the back slide plate and trigger housing. But yes, it will work when completed.
Glock performance trigger w/ the + factory connector and a timney shoe is perfection....
I like that set up brotha. Nice combo
Timney on an EDC...mans living on the wild side 😂

Social Media Mentality means, Clones do what every other channel does. More than 80% of what he polished doesnt contact diddly squat.

Any time I buy a new firearm I polish anything I can. I believe lowering friction is always a plus.
Exactly...and more importantly it works. No snake oil...
I would like to see 1k or 2k shoot review after that setup. Great video and tanks for the information.

You don't need an other trigger shoe. The one provided is plenty good.
Nice video brother!
Appreciate it!
Good video. Thank you
Glad you liked it!
Love Clenzoil 💧 & grease
Clenzoil is cool but Lucas is way better for lasting lubrication
Still scares me carrying a pre-cocked striker. I just cant bring myself to carry it AIWB.
Buy a striker blocking backplate
I agree with you...

@@Gypsyman40 Good to know.. Thanks again.!! One have to try for itself I guess ..
I noticed the newer ones come with the regular connector
Regular meaning the dot connector?
Naw the connector with nothing on it
@@October.28 hmm... Which means a slightly heavier trigger weight/pull
Yes the wall is more solid it almost feel similar to a sig p365 flat face trigger in my opinion
Need some help

Already answer in another video, but just hold down the trigger when taking off the slide. It's touchie, but this will work and don't force anything
Sir, did you make adjustment on the pre-travel screw on the Timney Shoe before installing to trigger bar of GPT? Thanks.
Yes, I adjusted the pretravel that felt good to me which allowed the gun to function safely. To be honest, you cannot really dial out that much pre travel with this shoe.
Where did you get that punch block?
amazon...
Do you know what causes the grit on reset?
Well I polish the grit out of most of my bars. The shoes change definitely improves feels.
What polishing wheel do you prefer?
dremel large felt wheel
is it possible to install this system on a gen4 frame? what mod do i have to make on the trigger housing, if any? thanks a lot !!
Yes, the new kit from glock comes with everything you need for the Gen 4 and 5
@@Gypsyman40 thank you ☺️
Haven't seen this being compatible with Gen 4. Mine says Gen 5 only.
