Glock Performance trigger comparison and install

A quick comparison on the Glock performance trigger to an OEM polished Glock trigger. Both have dot connectors and both have roughly a 3.5lb trigger pull.
Is it really worth the upgrade?

Thank you for such a great video without all of the distractions and unnecessary content. Very cool!

Just snagged one on sale for $65. Great install video thanks man!

Did you keep the performance trigger in, or swap it back out? I hear the performance trigger needs lube in all the right places, or itll feel heavy.

[@2amichaelj]

I switched it back out. A good polish on an OEM trigger has the same lb break. The reset feels funny like there's resistance on the slide when going back into battery. I didn't like it honestly.
Not worth it imho. Some people like it. It wasn't for me.

Need help
I purchased this Glock performance trigger for my Glock 26 Gen 5 and noticed when taking down my Glock the back plate will make contact with the metal piece that holds the firing pin is this normal

[@ek3908]

no it doesnt do it on my g17 but does on my g45. i bought a second one and it doesnt cycle through like it does with a stock trigger. if i press check the slide doesnt cycle back with a push .

[@BenRock82]

I just ordered one. I hope its better

[@2amichaelj]

It depends what you're looking for out of a trigger. I personally don't like it but I know many who swear by the upgraded GPT. It will lighten and improve the break. Reset is weak and if you shoot a lot, the GTP requires more maintenance than the stock OEM trigger. The maintenance isn't that bad but it's just something to consider.

I see in the comments you don't see an improvement with the GPT. You didn't oil it in the video. Do you think it would help if you oiled it per the directions?

[@aknightwing9077]

Im trying to figure out how id oil it. Just pull it backup and hit all the metal?!?

[@jasoncastillo7801]

Is it worth it

[@2amichaelj]

IMHO, no

[@dickeymoore3662]

Seems like both triggers break at 4.5 lbs😢

[@2amichaelj]

They break pretty much exactly the same. The actual trigger pull is subjectivity better on the GPT but the reset is substantially worse.
I personally think the Glock Performance Trigger isn't worth the price.

@@2amichaelj ok Thanks

My gen 5 came factory with a perfect trigger. Guess I got lucky but it is super crisp and beautiful for a Striker. I love it.
