I had a Glock 23 and a 26 for years. Despite some great work from our gunsmith, I could never get accustomed to the Glock triggers.

Traded for a 229 and a 938, With the new Barnes 9mm ammo, they are one-shot stoppers and my groups are about one third of the size they were.

Know Glocks are great weapons, but I just never could shoot them well. Love my new Sigs

>>I could never get accustomed to the Glock triggers.

That’s a real shame. They are two stage. Take up all the light pull in a single motion, once you feel the resistance of the sear slow your pull and squeeze. If you do it that way, it’s no different than any single action trigger except that its a little bit heavier.

Most people who can’t figure it out make the mistake of slowly squeezing for the entire length of the trigger pull and then when it appears to stack up at the end, they instinctively jerk.

Gunsmiths and aftermarket triggers and springs just mess up perfection.

Same here. They don't fit my hand properly. However, the first time my daughter fired one, she fell in love with them. I got her for for the Christmas right after that.

As for me, I had to fire a 1911 annually while I was in the Air Force (back before they switched to the .38), and it feels like I was born holding one. Points naturally and I shoot it well.
