i had posted this picture before, but the camera i had back then, did not focus like this one.
this is my first G-17, Gen 4.
the trigger was "hard" to pull, compared to the rental i was learning on, at the range.
when i field stripped it, i could see the trigger bar was rubbing up against the "rub nubs??" of the frame. this was due to the frame as you can see, was "sunken in", at that area. i could have just as easily sent it back to Glock, but i thought, oh well, why not at least try something......??
this led me into learning on my own..."some smithing" which to this day certainly has panned out for me.
so i took a fine file and SLOWLY filed them down, i think there was like 4 nubs??
after that, the trigger was buttery smooth.
i have had this G-17 now, going on nearly 3 years, it is my back up home gun, and has now over 3,000 rounds thru it.
i had completely dissembled it, cleaned out the extractor channel/tube as well as the striker tube/channel.
i made a few changes, like the trigger connector, drop safety (for the rounded one), and the trigger springs..i had also replaced the controls like slide release and slide lock for extended ones, for easier gripping
if i recall, i got the trigger pull down to like 2 pounds.
best darned 1st gun i ever bought, and when i was buying this, i was also simultaneously buying my 1st CZ 75 B, at another LGS, so to me, and me only, both guns are my 1st....
that's MY story, and i'm sticking to it.
