Glock: Triggers
built 675 days ago
The Glock's other claim to fame is its polymer frame that drastically reduces weight. Like all Glocks, this one has a tactical rail in front of the trigger guard for attaching lighting systems, laser sights, and other goodies.

The Glock pistol accessories include several devices for tactical illumination, such as front rail mounted lights with optional lasers and an adapter to mount a flashlight on the bottom of a magazine. Polymer holsters in various configurations and matching magazine pouches are ... available. Glock also produces optional sights, triggers, recoil springs, slide stop levers, and underwater spring cups.

The Glock Safe Action incorporates three separate safety mechanisms, all of which are automatically activated when the slide is at battery. There is a trigger block safety, an internal firing pin safety, and there is an internal drop safety.

The Glock 26 has the standard Glock trigger, which is pretty good. Like the Kel-Tec, the trigger pull is the same weight and length from shot to shot. Unlike the Kel-Tec, the trigger weight and length are very reasonable.

The locking block, which engages a 45-degree camming surface on the barrel's lower lug, appears to be the Glock's only investment casting. It's retained in the frame by the same steel axis pin that holds the trigger and slide stop. The trigger housing is attached to the frame by means of a polymer pin. A spring-loaded, sheet-metal pressing serves as the slide stop, which is protected from accidental manipulation by a raised guard molded into the frame. The slide lock, operated by a single bent flat spring, engages a step on the front of the barrel's locking lug to prevent the slide and frame groups from parting company during the counter-recoil stroke. The magazine catch-release, another polymer component - located where it belongs, on the left side of the frame, directly to the rear of the trigger guard - is held in place by an uncoiled piece of spring steel.

The best way to evaluate whether the Glock 38 fits your particular needs is to first examine the Glock system of operation. Some people plainly don't like the trigger pull one experiences with a Glock design. The sample Glock 38, while equipped with a 5.5-pound trigger (as stated on the end of the shipping box), actually measured closer to 7.5 pounds in pull weight, but it is so hard to judge because it is simply so different from that experienced with any other design. The Glock trigger takes experience to become comfortable with it.
