Coming from a 1911 background where every single part needs to be hand fitted I really, really like the drop in parts on Glocks. It’s actually fun working on them.
Hey, I know this is an older video of yours, but...a constant lesson to people just now tuning in to know that the custom market is NOT better than using your SMART TIPS to what is safe and the best to do to accomplish what they want to their Glock pistols. I have learned a lot from all of your videos in the past, and I still watch them when applying them currently. THANK YOU!! I will call you if I'm in a jam or I want to be smarter.
Love your videos man! I know its old but its good to come back to when thinking about stuff! dont know how many times friends glam out their glocks then fails to function, they dont understand mm matter in glocks, so you have an after market slide that was milled mm off and an aftermarket 2.5 connector, after market plunger/spring and an after market trigger and bar they are not all going to fit into glocks specs and so many areas have to be taken into account to figure out where the alignment is off. is the plunger spring to heavy from joe smoe kit, is the trigger bar fin angle off, is the connector bent out a mm. is the trigger spring factory or from joe shmoe kit. ive even seen aftermarket firing pins with the engagement bar 4mm shorter then it was supposed to be mixed with a bad plunger spring forcing the bar down few mm just enough to release.
You are amazing sir thanks for all the knowledge in so glad I found your channel it’s a goldmine of info all I wanted to know was how do take the shoe off but I’ve learned much more than that you could charge ppl for this information and they would buy it so thanks for keeping it free your a man of the ppl I knew anyone who would call themselves Johnny glocks would be cool thank you so much I appreciate it
Johnny, when I changed my G29SF connector from OEM 5.5 Ibs to OEM DOT 5.0Ibs connector, I got a nice rolling trigger with not much wall like before which I like now, but when I checked my brand new G43x , I found out it has a minus (-) connector. I even did a 25 cent trigger job and it still has that hard wall prior to break. What I noticed is that the connector base attaches to the black triangle housing sits flushed, but the other half end of the connector sticks out sideways or bent more than my G29 dot connector. Will this cause that hard trigger wall? From my understanding, learning from your other videos, that the angle of the connector bar (minus , dot , 5.5 Ibs etc) determines the trigger wall. I’m aware that the new connector design for slimline is totally different from the larger guns. Looking at the slimline connector bar of the G43x , it’s angled with less resistance with the trigger bar connector end, but the trigger feel doesn’t make sense. LOL. It has that 2 stage feel...
Sooo.. basically after watching all your videos; dot connector + OEM trigger spring + 4.5lb striker spring + set screw for over-travel + roll pin for pre-travel + trigger shoe safety trim + polishing = 1911 trigger?
First thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. When are you going to show us a polish job you do? Thank you for helping and hopefully we can get it:)
How much do you charge to get my trigger to be better? I use my glock 21 for carry so I don't need an amazingly light trigger. BUT I wouldn't mind having less pre travel and a clean safe break.
Johnny, is it safe to say for the casual Glock user going to the Range (paper target) Use the Glock factory trigger leave as it? (if is not broken don't fix it) "This is proportion and symmetry, cause and effect." In case you read this, I can hear the information you are trying to give us, bouncing in your brain. Thank You very Much.
What people don't realize about patents is that besides the giant expense & long time it takes to get them the ONLY thing they do is make it possible for you to sue (another giant expense) the person/company that infringed on it. And that isn't a guaranteed win. The worst thing about a patent is that it gives away all of your specifics with drawings & explanations. That means anyone can look it up, see exactly what it is or how it's done, then start doing it themselves or figure out a change or enhancement & start doing it & there is nothing you can do, even if you could afford the lawsuit. Lastly, let's not forget that for the most part you could be seen as using or modifying parts patented by Glock or others & get sued by them for doing so. Even if they don't win, you are hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt now which most likely shut you down & cost you your house. Patents are only good for big companies or complete 1 off things or processes. Now with that shit out of the way, I greatly appreciate your informative videos. Jacking with safeties is not something I care to do unless I've really studied them, esp since my guns are for defense & not competition but I still love learning the intricacies of all of them.
Hey Mr. S, you are f'ing brilliant, and people shouldn't try to second guess your skill. Glock Armorer school doesn't match your skill. I wish you lived next door to me. My wife would be jealous.
AntwonDaBusiness there's a lot of different ways you can reduce pre-travel I drill and tap a set screw in the shoe itself. This way it's adjustable to fine-tune it in
JOHNNY GLOCKS the persona i did thanks man....i think i can handle that i was a bodyman and painter for years....but the trigger im gonna be calling soon for one. Thanks brotha
Po Isbell I knew someone was going to pick that up. LOL. I took over some of my co-workers bench space to make videos and that's the story I'm staying with 🇺🇸🇺🇸
So informative, your delivery is great and really genuine too. Thanks as always.
I thought I was a Glock nut, Johnny has got me beat.Great information about the working of a Glock trigger saftey,2 thumbs up man!
This was a great, comprehensive video on Glock safety. Thank you for taking the time and effort.
The True Glock Master Gunsmith. Salute to you JG

Johnny, you are a good man. Thank you sir for sharing your knowledge. Best wishes for you and your family. Happy New Year.
You are like a professor of Glock studies.
You are the man Jhonny... just tried out my 1911ish set up. 😁

There should a credit for a Minor in Glockology!
Great educational vid. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Thanks for all the info you give us but what connector is your favorite
kyley808 favorite for what 🤔
which one drops the most weight
kyley808 I would say ZEV V4, Taren Tactical, and Ghost 3.3 pro however I don't use any of these.
thanks i learn so much from you
Epic content!
You will someday write a best selling book called “The Art of the Trigger”.
I’d like to write the forward. 🙂🇺🇸. -Greg
(I’m serious)
Such a simple machine.. complex only in its NEED TO ALWAYS FUNCTION, EVERY TIME after tinkering and tinkering and tinkering...

thank you brother.

Hey Johnny, what model camera do you use? It seems to allow easy & refined zoom controls. Thanks, Greg
It's a JVC and it's probably about 8 years old at this point but it was one of the first hd's they had when I get to the shop I'll give you the number
Johnny, is it safe to say for the casual Glock user going to the Range (paper target)

Johnny triggered job my 36 to Perfection....21 3G is next !

You can't make a bad video!👊
I've watched him cut the safety tab in the trigger in two different vids & still don't know why.
So the trigger safety mod is only necessary for triggers that have some pretravel removed correct? so....how do you reduce pretravel?
AntwonDaBusiness there's a lot of different ways you can reduce pre-travel I drill and tap a set screw in the shoe itself. This way it's adjustable to fine-tune it in
Can you show how thats done in a future video?
AntwonDaBusiness Maybe🤔
I never caught the name of the drop in piece that applys upwards presssue on the cruciform. Would some one please help me with a name of that part?
NYC drop in trigger spring
How the heck do you tightin the slide up? Thats amazing work i sending my 43 to you.
Hard city Raindrops check out the slide tightening video on the channel.
JOHNNY GLOCKS the persona i did thanks man....i think i can handle that i was a bodyman and painter for years....but the trigger im gonna be calling soon for one. Thanks brotha
JOHNNY GLOCKS the persona just one question about that though. Do i hit down the whole slide, or just where the rails on the frame lock it at?
Hard city Raindrops I've seen a few of His videos on that. Only where the rails sit when it's in battery.
Can I get a video of all your shows. Budsaw
Why is that H&K sticker dirtying up your wall!? 😉
Po Isbell I knew someone was going to pick that up. LOL. I took over some of my co-workers bench space to make videos and that's the story I'm staying with 🇺🇸🇺🇸
JOHNNY GLOCKS the persona
LOL
You Fucking Rock!
Maybe you give up the gem trick with the NY trigger Dingus
How to get a hold of you?
