"Click and buy". Worked great for me. Brand new 43X and I've never worked on a Glock before. Clicked and bought the factory OEM trigger shoe Upgrade and Performance Enhanced Connector. What an improvement. Thank you!
A lot of people want the 3.5 # connector then complain about the long slow break. Meh..I had one and I didn't like it. I ended up putting the stock(ish) one back in. 4.5 # pull with less travel, hits a wall, crisp break. Glock 23 Gen 4..my EDC. I mastered the trigger break using a coin set on top of the front sight. Squeeze the trigger and coin doesn't fall...dry firing of course. I have my own gun range in my backyard so if any adjustments need to be made, I'm here at home. You put out some great and informative videos Johnny..Keep up the good work.
The coin trick is fabulous...thanks for that tip...... I am not an expert, but I have a passion for machining by hand and enjoy learning to become a better shot.... I can tell that JG loves what he does and that passion is rare. I aspire to be able to shoot from the hip... I wish there were some place that I could feel the difference in connector weights.... Wouldnt a “jeweled” surface be smooth??
This is exactly why I don't bother with forums any more...mostly a bunch of amateurs, amateurs pretending to know stuff, a few amateurs who know enough to be dangerous, and a few who do know, but are jealous and/or braggarts. I have watched and listened intently to every one of Johnny's vids (many times over) and never once got the impression that he's boasting or ever bashed anyone. Look at his video, where he takes an OP trigger (which is like every OP I've seen) and makes it better (while keeping it safer). Like I've said before, all the others are simply drop-in triggers put together by assemblers. But, Johnny IS the gunsmith. I don't need some full-bearded, tacti-dude telling me what is the best for me. Johnny truly listens to his customers and gives them exactly what they want (while still being safe). Even when I ordered a basic, off-the-shelf, drop-in, Johnny called Me! (I can spot a phony instantly). We talked and I can tell you, he IS the real deal. In fact, Johnny has inspired me to become a Glock Armorer! But if I do, all my custom triggers will be from Johnny.
You are GREAT Johnny! We appreciate your work and expertise! And also you being generous with your knowledge and free content here on RUclips... Other people who own flocks but don't know about you..... They only come part of the way without knowing what they could have from you I heard somebody say the other day that he wants a fast and strong reset therefore he has to put up with spongy free travel to get it Those that watch you know we can have it all No pretravel Crisp break Strong reset We get it !!!!! Because you give it! Don't listen to the negativity keep what you're doing
I love Johnny. I just recently purchased one of his triggers. The man knows Glock triggers, and is very humble about it. Then he turns around and shares his knowledge. It's awesome.
I learn something every time i watch one of your vids , experience means everything never under sell yourself . I absolutely love what you do , keep doing what your doing ; Awsome !
There's always someone (or more than one) who has to badmouth someone they don't know for some obscure reason. I've been very impressed with the knowledge that you have shared, and the positions you take on various Glock and customer service related issues. I appreciate that you take your time to share some of your knowledge with others. Those who don't understand how things work or why you say and/or do what you do have no reason to disrespect you. Thanks, Johnny.
Johnny, will you do a video sometime with advice regarding carry Glocks, some do's and dont's, mods, safety, etc? Thanks for sharing your expertise. Roy D
I could Invision Johnny coming on & Thumping his Chest like Tarzan & yelling " I'm the ripping Man Yeah"!!🤣🤣🤣 When it comes too Glock triggers Johnny is the Man.
I think the issue for most people is that they can follow steps and copy the cuts and grinds but without understanding why theyre not going to get the results they're looking for. There's a shit ton of nuance in how all these parts interact.
Damn dude I'm glad I found this video. I like to do my own work on my guns. I've always been pretty mechanically inclined and this aspect of firearms comes more naturally than shooting (no such thing as enough range time lol). I've figured out recently that glocks aren't as plug and play friendly as it seems. Sure they're easy enough to take apart and swap parts around but that doesn't mean they'll be combat reliable and some arrangements will be more unreliable than others. Add in aftermarket changes to tolerance and you get an even higher chance of experiencing malfunctions. Unless you're rather lucky, you can't just order glock parts, put em together and have the exact gun you want. They're not Legos. You may have to use a file and take a little material off somewhere, there's may be surfaces that need polishing, etc. If you use an aftermarket frame/slide then your trigger needs to be custom fitted to that gun or it isn't gonna work reliably at all. I'm positive glock does some kinda of functions testing and armororing before then send a gun out the door. It's not just assembled from stamped parts by someone with no experience armoring glocks and loaded up at the range. It was extremely irresponsible of me to start gunsmithing the way I did lol. Oh well. That's how we learn I suppose. I'm better for it now but it could get someone hurt. I'm not saying we should ban 80%s and home builds. I love them. But people should be more educated on what they're about to do. Glocks are just as mechanically vulnerable to tolerance as any other gun.. Let's compare it to to your car. The Honda civic is the most popular car in America and it's a relatively simple machine. Do you trust yourself to build one out of boxes of parts? Do you know what those parts are meant to look and feel like when they're assembled? Do you know how the components interact and the effect of tolerance stacking? This is complicated shit people devote their life too and trying ny hand at it has given me a newfound respect for what being a professional gunsmith really means
I loved the trigger feel on my gen 3 g19. I hate my g43. The trigger safety is sharp, the break is so stiff, and it vibrates in my hand. All my shots go low and left no matter how much I train.
Hey I'm totally loving your videos im learning a lot ive built a few 80%'s amd i own 2 factory glocks. But im trying to find a video idk if you talk about it but i have a 43x, the trigger breaks so hard the gun moves at the break, i cant shoot well with it im always left of target. What part would i need to buy and replace or which part can i modify?
Question: Apart from the stamped dimple, is there a difference between the Vertical Extension ("Shark's Fin") of the Gen3 and Gen4 Triggerbars? I compared the two in different frames and there appears to be a different ANGLE wherein the Gen3 is located more towards the center of the frame than the Gen4, with the potential to contact the nose of the top cartridge in a magazine if the magazine catch is was to be reversed? Kindly advise.
You Rock Johnny, honored to be your sponsored shooter brother!!! Sorry the GT page and my post started that crap!!! Your triggers have been PERFECT and have had THOUSANDS of rounds brother, not ever one issue!!! Keep up the GREAT work!!!
Man I’m loving going back on these great videos and I don’t care what those haters say because you know you’re shit and I’m learning a lot... props dude 👍👍👍👍👍
Open question to Johnny or anyone here. Ive noticed an issue with my G30 3rd gen after some modifications ive done and cant figure it out. The issue is, with a round in the chamber and a full magazine loaded...when i rack the slide to chamber the next round, the slide stops and is stuck. Without a magazine, it will eject the chambered round with no issues or without a mag and round in the chamber...the slide will operate normally. I have not fired it since mods and have about 500 rounds through it already. The trigger is very smooth and breaks very nice after mods with all the stock slack, consistent pull all the way back until the break. Modifications ive done... 1) Polished internals(all points of contact) 2) Installed and trimmed Ghost Pro 3.3lb trigger connector. 3) Gen 4 trigger bar (installed a while back) 4) Lighter trigger safety plunger spring. 5) Ghost stainless steel bullet slide release. As ive stated before, all operation has improved greatly after mods except with a loaded chamber and magazine. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks! Edit: to be more specific, the slide will rack back about .5 to 1 inch then stop and wont go back any further...with a round in the chamber and a full magazine.
sidlarrie2 I don’t shoot left with a stalk trigger.. you can’t replace a connector and get skills, I replace them cause I just like tooling on my guns and like smooth triggers.
sidlarrie2 BTW is that like an excuse you use cause you can’t shoot straight!! Your that guy!!! Oh it’s this trigger that’s why I’m shooting left!! NEWS FLASH it’s you
Great triggers and without a doubt one nice man. Will talk to you about your gun and mods and never bad mouthed any of the changes or manufacturers of my gun! Best shooting trigger I ever tried!!!!
Very sorry about those negative people out there Johnny Glocks. I have yet to meet somebody who knows it all or has an Uncle who does. Very closed minded people if you ask me. I refer to them as (Plastic) book readers. Anyway I love your insight & intelligence of what your talking about. Would love to ask a few questions about my GLOCK 22 Gen 4. *** I also have a threaded barrel for it & a .9mm conversion barrel also.
Hi John. I’m into buying a gun for competition between glock 34 and cz 75 spo1. My question is can you make the trigger of Glock feels like cz or 1911 trigger? And can you make them accurate too like those guns. Thanks
new glock owner. been watching your vids now for a while, and they're great education. was wondering though, like that glock you got there for testing triggers. just how much disassembly and reassembly can a frame take before the pin holes just wear out?
its relieving hearing it from an actual glock guru, not some guy on a random forum, thanks man. I'll drop you an email later, probably this spring. do you do international orders?
Well . Ive watched a handful of your videos now and i dont get ego from you i get confident knowledge. The guy whos says your just thumping your chest is probably a competitor and is triggered by your in depth knowledge. Id almost bet your making one of his designs better.
frank Jasper I think he meant to say tactile. But it’s preference. There’s theories to both. I say in general the guys that like to know where the shot breaks and are used to 1911’s and good single or two stage AR triggers like tactile breaks (myself included). The guys that want to be surprised by the break and revolver/double action guys like the rolling break. A rolling break can get to a lower trigger weight just based on how the connector interacts which some comp guys really want that 2.5lb trigger. In theory pulling through the first shot doesn’t jerk you off target too because you don’t hit a wall. I like the tactile wall because I’m more accurate in staging the longer shots to the wall first and having very little trigger movement when I decide to break the shot. I’ve never liked being surprised by the break and think it’s been bad advice to give new shooters. I also like the shorter travel off the reset to breaking the next shot.
He IS the Glock trigger-man.
Absolutely positively the most well-informed,talented,and understanding guy on glocks period,its only glock perfection after Johnny glock gets it
"Click and buy". Worked great for me. Brand new 43X and I've never worked on a Glock before. Clicked and bought the factory OEM trigger shoe Upgrade and Performance Enhanced Connector. What an improvement. Thank you!
Show your shot groups before and after with the improvements, or it doesnt help!
A lot of people want the 3.5 # connector then complain about the long slow break. Meh..I had one and I didn't like it. I ended up putting the stock(ish) one back in. 4.5 # pull with less travel, hits a wall, crisp break. Glock 23 Gen 4..my EDC.

Mean Gene My man you said it better than me brother and better that you said it than me. LOL
Johnny G is the best Glock trigger man in the USA!
You are GREAT Johnny!
We appreciate your work and expertise! And also you being generous with your knowledge and free content here on RUclips...
Other people who own flocks but don't know about you.....
They only come part of the way without knowing what they could have from you
I heard somebody say the other day that he wants a fast and strong reset therefore he has to put up with spongy free travel to get it
Those that watch you know we can have it all
No pretravel
Crisp break
Strong reset
We get it !!!!!
Because you give it!
Don't listen to the negativity keep what you're doing
Glocks not flocks
Sorry. Spell check
atooshatic Thanks my Brother! Some people gonna Hate!!
JOHNNY GLOCKS the persona you're welcome brother....
Teach on to those who have an ear to hear and leave all the rest
I love Johnny. I just recently purchased one of his triggers. The man knows Glock triggers, and is very humble about it. Then he turns around and shares his knowledge. It's awesome.
I've never once herd anything negative about you and your work. But the best always has haters. Thumbs up to you!
I learn something every time i watch one of your vids , experience means everything never under sell yourself . I absolutely love what you do , keep doing what your doing ; Awsome !
I've had one of your triggers for about 4 months of uspsa shooting and it's great. Keep the videos coming, every time you post one I learn something.
There's always someone (or more than one) who has to badmouth someone they don't know for some obscure reason. I've been very impressed with the knowledge that you have shared, and the positions you take on various Glock and customer service related issues. I appreciate that you take your time to share some of your knowledge with others. Those who don't understand how things work or why you say and/or do what you do have no reason to disrespect you. Thanks, Johnny.
I just discovered you and I'm really enjoying learning from you. Thanks for sharing your great knowledge.
Hello Jhonny, if possible, please upload a video on how to properly adjust a connector, thanks for your videos, a big greeting from the south.
Johnny, will you do a video sometime with advice regarding carry Glocks, some do's and dont's, mods, safety, etc? Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Roy D
Roy D ABSOLUTELY it's a great topic.
JOHNNY GLOCKS the persona
Thanks you're the best:). I watch 'em all
Your channel has been such a big help and really educational! One of these days I'll need to invest in getting one of your sets. Thanks Johnny!
My pleasure buddy glad you're getting something out of the content
You related to Billy Idol? Or, are you him?
I could Invision Johnny coming on & Thumping his Chest like Tarzan & yelling " I'm the ripping Man Yeah"!!🤣🤣🤣 When it comes too Glock triggers Johnny is the Man.
I think you should do comparison between rolling break and glass rod break.
I think the issue for most people is that they can follow steps and copy the cuts and grinds but without understanding why theyre not going to get the results they're looking for. There's a shit ton of nuance in how all these parts interact.
Quick Johnny, give your video another like!

Johnny, should I install a SS Guide Rod or leave it stock. Thanks Jerry
Thank you for your vidioes I have a lot better understanding of how everything works together.
Hey I'm totally loving your videos im learning a lot ive built a few 80%'s amd i own 2 factory glocks. But im trying to find a video idk if you talk about it but i have a 43x, the trigger breaks so hard the gun moves at the break, i cant shoot well with it im always left of target. What part would i need to buy and replace or which part can i modify?
This tuning help would invaluable.
Have end stage prostate ca and still find him to put out good stuff.
Question: Apart from the stamped dimple, is there a difference between the Vertical Extension ("Shark's Fin") of the Gen3 and Gen4 Triggerbars? I compared the two in different frames and there appears to be a different ANGLE wherein the Gen3 is located more towards the center of the frame than the Gen4, with the potential to contact the nose of the top cartridge in a magazine if the magazine catch is was to be reversed? Kindly advise.
Hola Jhonny, si es posible, sube un video sobre cómo ajustar correctamente un conector, gracias por tus videos, un gran saludo desde el sur.
Ive called him, no thumping, solid tech info in a literate manner !!
You Rock Johnny, honored to be your sponsored shooter brother!!! Sorry the GT page and my post started that crap!!!
Your triggers have been PERFECT and have had THOUSANDS of rounds brother, not ever one issue!!!
Keep up the GREAT work!!!
Square peg round hole....AWESOME videos. Subbed and ordering from you.
You are THE MAN! And they are just jealous of you.
Man I’m loving going back on these great videos and I don’t care what those haters say because you know you’re shit and I’m learning a lot... props dude 👍👍👍👍👍
Open question to Johnny or anyone here. Ive noticed an issue with my G30 3rd gen after some modifications ive done and cant figure it out.

Po Isbell
so is the round that was in the chamber he ejecting?
JOHNNY GLOCKS the persona
Yes. I have since taken it to the range and shot about 70 rounds through with only 1 failure to feed. Thanks for the reply.
Get rid of the slide release go back to stock and try it
If you want a great rolling break, put a Ghost Edge Connector in.. It gets rid of the Glock Bump before the break that pulls your shots left..
sidlarrie2 I don’t shoot left with a stalk trigger.. you can’t replace a connector and get skills, I replace them cause I just like tooling on my guns and like smooth triggers.
sidlarrie2 BTW is that like an excuse you use cause you can’t shoot straight!! Your that guy!!! Oh it’s this trigger that’s why I’m shooting left!! NEWS FLASH it’s you
Where can I get a hold of you
I love watching this guy lol
Great triggers and without a doubt one nice man. Will talk to you about your gun and mods and never bad mouthed any of the changes or manufacturers of my gun! Best shooting trigger I ever tried!!!!

GunFu family. Johnny Glocks is a smart "mother shut yo mouth"! =) Much respect to this man for sharing his knowledge.
What would you suggest for a good heavier pull for carry, but a very defined wall with a short reset
Hi John. I’m into buying a gun for competition between glock 34 and cz 75 spo1. My question is can you make the trigger of Glock feels like cz or 1911 trigger? And can you make them accurate too like those guns. Thanks

eihei pretty much endless
its relieving hearing it from an actual glock guru, not some guy on a random forum, thanks man.
I'll drop you an email later, probably this spring. do you do international orders?
The guy is just a hater cuz he can’t do what you do. I follow your videos and my Glock 23 triggers amazing very crisp 3.5 pd break
Well . Ive watched a handful of your videos now and i dont get ego from you i get confident knowledge. The guy whos says your just thumping your chest is probably a competitor and is triggered by your in depth knowledge. Id almost bet your making one of his designs better.
What’s a better trigger for uspsa competition? Rolling break or tactical ? Or is it just preference
frank Jasper I think he meant to say tactile. But it’s preference. There’s theories to both. I say in general the guys that like to know where the shot breaks and are used to 1911’s and good single or two stage AR triggers like tactile breaks (myself included).

I’ve never liked being surprised by the break and think it’s been bad advice to give new shooters. I also like the shorter travel off the reset to breaking the next shot.
I hope these people that put rolling break triggers on their guns only carry them to and from the range.
Jason Milschmidt yes let's hope
