Love it when someone who's basically considered "best in the industry" gives away all their trade secrets for free simply to help other folks out. I literally just bought one of your trigger kits even though I'm confident enough in my skills to do the job myself. I'll support this kind of American business any day.
When you've truly mastered something, and are passionate an lucky enough to stay within that realm for work; you get more work than you can handle. Theres no need to hide your knowledge from competition at that level, and the passion that got you there, pushes you to share and teach when you can.
My great grandfather would be proud seeing you using that Delta Tools polishing wheel. Herbert Tautz founded the company in 1919! Always love seeing traces of him around.
Thanks for trying to help us Johnny. I turned 70 yrs old June 4th and I in the last year changed from 1911's to Glock!! I've customized and worked on 1911's for 60yrs. Yes my Grandad built them and I help him. When I was young I polished parts for him and it was a long time before he let me work on pistols. I really appreciate your video's believe me. My oldest son 52 yrs old has a Glock 21, my youngest son has a 19 and I have a 17 & 34 thanks to you sir. Take care, flea
I got you beat. 1950, I also worked on 1911’s most of my life. EVERYTHING needs fitting. When I found out how easy it is to disassemble and work on Glocks I was amazed. That’s pretty much all I do now. I recently had a 1911 I wanted to make some changes to and it brought back some bad memories. Too old to start doing that again!
Thank you for teaching the world what you know! You have such amazing videos! anyone working on a their glock should watch your videos! Glad you also talked on hitting the cross bar most people forget they rub on the shelf, I knew you would point it out though! This is by by far the best polishing video ever! wish id seen a video like this 3yrs ago would have saved so much trial and error!
So I own one of your trigger systems and I have to say I am impressed. I love the vex shoe and the polish job is fantastic. Thank you Mr Glocks and team!
Thank you Johnny for your informative videos, they helped me tremendously to understand how the Glock parts work with each other in order to build my police safety switch for Glock 17 Gen 4. It was not easy working with "limited" resources... 😃
I got a metal in my eye years ago when I was a welder. The Dr. had to dig it out, then drill [yes drill] a little of the eye to get as much as metal out as possible. That was maybe 40 years ago, I have a scar on my eye and can see lines, dots and swimmy things from it. WEAR EYE PRO.
My buddy was using a router on some composite flooring tiles. He had a sliver pierce his eye. Several operations later and years later: He is blind in that eye. Wears and eye patch. Has to listen to young children ask their mother, "Is that a pirate" for the rest of his life. I wear glasses. My purposely bought frames with very large lenses. For really nasty jobs I will still wear a face shield.
And when you get a MRI they ask you if you’ve ever had metal in your eye. I said yes , so they CT scanned my head to check if there was any remaining metal. If there was, the MRI magnets would pull it out of your eyeball. I wear auto tinting eye pro from the moment I walk out the door until dinner.
@@kevincharles9159 it would pull it out in a very terrible manner, after passing possibly completely from the front side of your body, all the way through the back. In your eye or head/face, it would drag a channel straight through your brain possibly .
Ive worked in an autobody shop my enrtire life. My grandpa opened his first one in the 50s. Anyway you guys show the work but you're not telling the cost. The tools aren't cheap to start with and the car compound we use for buffing is over $150gal. Not only are you doing a lot of meticulous work its expensive also, and using all American. My hats off to ya for doing an excellent job for a fair price👍👍
I did everything you said before the video as far as polishing areas, but did it by hand with 2000 grit sandpaper, and got it smooth like glass. It's just my personal one bar and not multiple like in your case. Even if I took me half a day it was like therapy jaja. Great video.
Johnny is my zippo in a cave where before all I had was a single match to light way... Thank you gentlemen for your expertise. Your eyeball pain was not in vain my friend.
Happy Friday 🇺🇸. My go to kit for polishing has been the Eastwood kit. I believe you can buy them individually but I got the kit that has 120grit compound and 7-8 tubes of various compounds ranging from cylinder heads to jewelry, roughing and finishing. I swear I’ll only have to buy it once because it lasts soo long. Hope everybody has a safe and awesome 4th 🇺🇸. As fire marshal Bill would say, Safety First 🤣
And I can definitely vouch for their work👍 No matter how much gunpowder or what have you, every piece of metal they polish comes right back out to a mirror shine when wiped down, and more importantly smooth as it gets👌
Thank you so much. I live on an island in southeast alaska and I can watch the very best show how to do it correctly. I love the way you describe using the vise to hold the tool. (TIP) as a photographer I do macro work, get a little tripod, small spot with black felt, put camera in tripod and hold what you want to film. I LOVE the way you get in REALLY CLOSE. A lot of us are watching on iPads/ iPhones and screens are small. Really appreciate the very close details. Helps with aging eyes. Blessings!!!
Great vid. I used my Dremel & Flitz. I polished everything in 10min. along with a 3lb Connector, 4.5lb striker spring & now OMG my G19X has a sweet smooth trigger pull.. No more "gritty & mooshy" feeling..
Great technical informative videos. Enjoy every one of them, loaded with valuable information. Can't wait till your entire technical video collection is put on a CD for purchase. Looking forward to buying one!
Very nice , when i got in to Glock I was bummed when you didn’t have a video on this . I didn’t want to listen to anyone else hahah . New to Glock life and love it . See you next Friday
I just got my evolution combat trigger kit with the striker and the flash trigger shoe. He isnt kidding when he says it looks like jewelry, its crazy polished.
Awesome video. I bought one of your triggers. Attempt to copy went pretty good. I can't afford to buy 6 of your triggers. Lol. Now I see this video. Attempt #2 about to start. You guys rock. I'm sending WICK a couple frames!
You are the man jonny!! I got into tuning glocks like 3 years ago watchn all your videos, all my friends come go me to polish n tune ther glocks haha i got start chargn thes suckas haha you bad man !!!
served in Austrian army and of course got to play with Glocks , aaaaaa lot and learned how to take care of them Glock will outlive their owner and like anything else in life you take good care of something / your Glock , it will take care of you later love your shop set up and your knowledge and skills and dedication
Diy tip for the poor. Get a joist hanger 2inx10in and screw it down to a piece of wood. Drill a hole through end of hanger so dremmel can sit inside hsnger snugly and protrude through the hole on end part. Unscrew plastic piece right under the bit or rotary tool and put it through the hole on joist hanger. Reattach plastic and you have s dremmel mount thats worked great for me many times
I feel like I should buy a trigger from You because of the knowledge you give away for free. It’s much appreciated I’m gonna see how well I can do my stock trigger if it doesn’t work out I’ll buy a trigger from you
I have learned so much from your video’s. Over on the Brian Enos forum a member described one of you triggers that you did for a gen5. He said you modified a gen 3 bar to work in a gen 5 gun. Could you do a video on that process? If it’s proprietary then I understand why you would not do.
I’m a Glock Armorer and I do the same thing to all my guns. You keep the same weight of trigger pull, but get rid of all the creep from the pull of the trigger. Very smooth. You are mechanically breaking in the gun without having to fire thousands of rounds to get there.
Dremel, felt wheel & bullet wheel, and Mothers Wheel Polish! I polish all my Glocks and install a Ghost Rocket w/ over-travel stop and springs, makes a huge difference!
The pitting in the steel is not a coating. It’s the actual surface texture of the steel as it was rolled into sheets. These are stamped steel parts, the metal used does not have the refined grain structure to allow a polish to a very low Ra level. If the parts were P20 steel. You could polish then to a perfect mirror if you took the time and tools to do it. That said as you mentioned it means nothing in the big picture. Minor surface deformities are not going to hurt a thing
Fantastic video can't wait to do mine. If you were closer I'd just bring it to ya and let you do it but I'm in montana and I don't like putting my babies in the mail.
Excellent video. I always buy the "budget" lower kits and polish up, & end up with amazing performance and never having an issue. I had to see how you do the polish and you go into even MORE detail. This is the most detailed "How to" vid so far. I gained a couple extra things to do for my 10mm build. Gonna make my 10mm glide like ice on ice using your tips! Thanks for the excellent vid! I'm a new subscriber! OH! also wanted to ask. What about polishing that "half pipe" spot on the Slide itself, that you showed??? Can you gain anymore performance from polishing parts of the slide?
I just followed these directions and my g19gen5 trigger is 100 X's better. wow. I still have some work to do, but so far the results are very impressive.
Hi there, I am anxioously awaiting to see your video here. I am new to Glocks and this is my initial knowledge of you and your tutorials. I bought a USED G23C Gen 2 in about 2014 I believe. Just last Thursday, I got to shoot my first few dozen rounds through it. My results were nice on paper and it worked 99% reliably considering the unknown condition/history it was in as I got it after it's prior owner(s). There was one light striker fire, and on a more numerous occurrence, the mouths of the spend casings exhibited a bent out of round place that seemed virtually identical on each one. Hoping to find the cause of this, or if cleaning/polishing things up in the gun will improve and eliminate this, or even aid in pin pointing the cause. Maybe you can lend insight, Thanks.
I just custom built two Daggers and polished up the trigger kits I bought. Dagger slide/barrel with glock trigger sets. This made the pull and snap sooo much smoother. Great info here! Thanks!
If that rattling sound from your Dremel drives you crazy like it does myself I have found that putting a zip tie or two around the battery compartment will remedy that real quick!
My youngest son threw a fit his senior year in high school because his safety glasses were fogging up while using a 18v makita cut-off wheel to cut through an exhaust pipe he threw his safety glasses off....the wheel caught an edge and blew apart, a chunk of the wheel lodged in his eye cutting his eye lid and eyeball... he is blind in that eye now and the worst part of it was....he was 17 and a month prior we signed all his paperwork for him to start his career as a medic in the Army.... depression set in and we as the parents had a hard road of recovery for him which lasted 3 years and many many painful and emotional draining times until he healed from the inside.... the guilt he went through was unbearable at times, I've never worked so hard on my personal emotional exhaustion as a father trying to keep my son alive.... all over a split seconds decision that ruined a childhood dream. Thank God he is healed and has chosen another career and is happy again! But every time I look at him as were talking it pains me to see that gray eye wishing he was hole again.... that made me always think about PPE all the time, I wasn't big on it until that day, now its priority.
Thanks for sharing brother, can’t imagine the difficult emotional challenges you’ve had to deal with as a father, absolutely feel you coming through the page! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Still love you guys..... Been wanting a vex or any Jonny Glock trigger for years, literally anyone... (Carry..lol) The godfather does it best, just can't save enough at once without the wife or kids getting it!!! 😅😮😅
Yes, I remember going to the emergency room to get a chunk of aluminum rim out of the white of my eye, and I was wearing regular glasses at the time. Dark room, florescent stuff and tweezers coming at my eye. Fun times.
Do you have any opinions on the “necessity” of the Glock (specifically the 17) to be able to eject the empty case with the magazine removed? I know it’s not supposed to be a tuned and perfect 1911 I was just curious of your opinion on it. I recently got back into Glocks after about 11 years and got a 17 (new in box Gen 3) and extraction wasn’t great. It never failed but sometimes brass would eject left (somehow) and I have it on video ejecting straight up with the brass failing back down and hitting the barrel hood. Odd stuff. Anyway I was researching the fixes and came upon some people who were really big on making sure their Glocks properly ejected the empty with the magazine out, wasn’t sure if this was an actual meaningful point or not 🤷🏻♂️ Anyway, mine doesn’t properly eject with the magazine removed (the empty falls through the mag well) but I definitely fixed my weak and erratic ejection with a Suarez Extractor, some “heavy duty” extractor depressor also from Suarez, and a 30274 ejector in my Gen 3 housing. Thanks.
Yeah, same. I’d understood “Mother’s” was JUST as good. ALL I’ve used is Mother’s and was extremely happy with the results. No negative drawbacks to this day using a dremel. What I realize I should’ve concentrated on more was the 2 specific points on the sear and crucible though…
It’s funny - I’ve watched this video and looked at I don’t know how many other resources but only “got” one thing today. The interaction of the upper outcropping on the connector with that “cam” on the inside of the slide. I understood how the connector gets pushed inward when the slide starts recoiling and that is part of the trigger reset. I just didn’t think about the 2 surfaces involved. Thank you Johnny! For aesthetics I completely understand polishing the entire trigger bar. However, it doesn’t matter for function. I prefer to figure out where the contact/friction points are and focus there. Also, there are some surfaces that need sharp 90 degree edges and the OEM part is quite rough. Is there a reason you use polishing and sandpaper rather than a fine stone? The polishing looks fantastic - I’m just old and set in my ways 😜
What do you do more than this to get to your trigger pull and feel ? I know change of springs (4,5 lbs striker, lowered safety plunger spring, stronger trigger spring), but what more ?
Thank you for the great video! I have one question. When breaking the edge on the cruciform kick up, you broke the edge on the bottom and not the top, correct? I would’ve thought you would break the edge on the top where the striker slips off, no?
Curious as to why we shouldn't use mothers polish. I've only done one glock trigger job and after watching this video I'm thinking I'm gonna do it again soon because I don't think i hit those edges but I used mothers polish and it worked just fine by hand and it really cleaned up the trigger pull its nice and smooth and then hits the wall and has a nice clean break.
Johnny, can you do a video on how to polish the inside of the frame to smooth out wear marks. Secondly, my 43X's slide didn't want to come off because the metal rear disk of the rsa was digging into the polymer of the rsa channel. It took a hammer to get the slide off. The metal rsa's disks have some very rough, sharp edges, and I am suprised this problem doesn't happen more often.
I got a really hard to answer question it seems,my Glock shoots left when the sights are centered,when it's all the way to the right of the dovetail it is dead on,what could I do to re-centre the barrel so I can dead center my rear sight,or am I stuck with it shooting the way it does,I mean would a new locking block change the direction of the barrel???I shoot an American Glock 17 gen3 with trijicon HD sights.
Oh god I need to polish my safety plunger in the slide, it's getting some weird marring going on and is making my trigger all gritty. Down here in Naples, FL!
No wonder Glock is out of stock with trigger bars! They are all in your shop. LOL Once again, great video with tons of useful information. Thank you for all the sharing of info you do. I appreciate how much time and effort goes into making these videos.. So who is coming to SRQ? Text me amd let me kmow!! Jeff
Love it when someone who's basically considered "best in the industry" gives away all their trade secrets for free simply to help other folks out. I literally just bought one of your trigger kits even though I'm confident enough in my skills to do the job myself. I'll support this kind of American business any day.
it’s clearly a passion first and foremost.. and the industry knows that
When you've truly mastered something, and are passionate an lucky enough to stay within that realm for work; you get more work than you can handle. Theres no need to hide your knowledge from competition at that level, and the passion that got you there, pushes you to share and teach when you can.
You can be a master polisher, thats still gonna miss 99.9% of a JG trigger
Amen to this.
He does it cause he knows that he is the only person with a glock touch you can replicate but ya cant be the one
My great grandfather would be proud seeing you using that Delta Tools polishing wheel. Herbert Tautz founded the company in 1919! Always love seeing traces of him around.
I have eight of those rigs in eight inch and six inch in my shop the rheostat was such a great idea

Happened to me too. Didn't think much of it at the time until I learned later just how close I was to losing my eye.
Me too. It was some of the most pain in my life, I will never forget it. Luckily it wasn't exactly in my line of vision.
@@kevincharles9159 it would pull it out in a very terrible manner, after passing possibly completely from the front side of your body, all the way through the back. In your eye or head/face, it would drag a channel straight through your brain possibly .

As a Gunsmith, I can say how much you enjoy the trade. Keep it up Bro. great Vid.
Johnny is my zippo in a cave where before all I had was a single match to light way... Thank you gentlemen for your expertise. Your eyeball pain was not in vain my friend.
Happy Friday 🇺🇸. My go to kit for polishing has been the Eastwood kit. I believe you can buy them individually but I got the kit that has 120grit compound and 7-8 tubes of various compounds ranging from cylinder heads to jewelry, roughing and finishing. I swear I’ll only have to buy it once because it lasts soo long. Hope everybody has a safe and awesome 4th 🇺🇸. As fire marshal Bill would say, Safety First 🤣

Another great job... thanks for all you do! Happy 4th!
Love this information. I’m not rushing into it until I get a good understanding of exactly how all the parts work and fit together.
Thank you so much. I live on an island in southeast alaska and I can watch the very best show how to do it correctly. I love the way you describe using the vise to hold the tool.

Made all the difference! Better than I had hoped for.
Very nice , when i got in to Glock I was bummed when you didn’t have a video on this . I didn’t want to listen to anyone else hahah . New to Glock life and love it . See you next Friday
Thank you for being generous with your knowledge!
Narcizo here! Thanks for the great lesson on improving Glock triggers, my Glock 21 was wonderful, light and drag free. God bless you Johnny.
Thank you! This actually helped quite a bit more than i thought it would. Trigger is much more smooth than stock
I just got my evolution combat trigger kit with the striker and the flash trigger shoe. He isnt kidding when he says it looks like jewelry, its crazy polished.
Also it was crazy fast delivery.
Big thank you for putting this out there! I have noticed that I have a gritty trigger pull on my 19 and just cleaning the gun is not doing the job.
Just finished up my first polish job great tips
As always great stuff Johnny and appreciate everything you teach us! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Woot! The Legend in Sarasota! Wish I could be there!
The way he explains everything in great detail reminds me of may father who I lost and miss dearly .. 😢
Love the info! Going to do it this weekend. Counted 4 JBL speakers in the video 🤣
When you're polishing , when you're polishing , the whole world polishes with you !
That's a fact🗣️
Awesome video. I bought one of your triggers. Attempt to copy went pretty good. I can't afford to buy 6 of your triggers. Lol. Now I see this video. Attempt #2 about to start. You guys rock. I'm sending WICK a couple frames!
The modern day Masamune. Happy 4th to you and yours 🍻
I've always just used a polishing rag and some flitz I can get a mirror finish with just my hands 🤷🏽
Before I got a dremel I used a q-tip broken in half. I chucked in in a drill.
Thank you guys! Very informative - excellent video.
You are the man jonny!! I got into tuning glocks like 3 years ago watchn all your videos, all my friends come go me to polish n tune ther glocks haha i got start chargn thes suckas haha you bad man !!!

Glock will outlive their owner

I just followed these directions and my g19gen5 trigger is 100 X's better. wow. I still have some work to do, but so far the results are very impressive.
What kind of polish were they using?
So does it lighten the pull? Make it more crisp ?
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this valuable skill.
Do you still choose to break the bottom edge on the connectors, especially the stock connectors?
Excellent video. Thanks so much for sharing.

But every time I look at him as were talking it pains me to see that gray eye wishing he was hole again.... that made me always think about PPE all the time, I wasn't big on it until that day, now its priority.
Thanks for sharing brother, can’t imagine the difficult emotional challenges you’ve had to deal with as a father, absolutely feel you coming through the page! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Sorry to hear that. I hope him and you both continue to heal spiritually.
Trying to watch this with a 5 year old bouncing off the walls. LOL. I'll be watching this 2 or 3 more times.
Still love you guys..... Been wanting a vex or any Jonny Glock trigger for years, literally anyone... (Carry..lol) The godfather does it best, just can't save enough at once without the wife or kids getting it!!! 😅😮😅
i’m brand new to this channel, but I kept seeing Steve Buscemi talking to me about Glock parts
Yes, I remember going to the emergency room to get a chunk of aluminum rim out of the white of my eye, and I was wearing regular glasses at the time.
Dark room, florescent stuff and tweezers coming at my eye. Fun times.
Do you have any opinions on the “necessity” of the Glock (specifically the 17) to be able to eject the empty case with the magazine removed? I know it’s not supposed to be a tuned and perfect 1911 I was just curious of your opinion on it.
I recently got back into Glocks after about 11 years and got a 17 (new in box Gen 3) and extraction wasn’t great. It never failed but sometimes brass would eject left (somehow) and I have it on video ejecting straight up with the brass failing back down and hitting the barrel hood. Odd stuff.
Anyway I was researching the fixes and came upon some people who were really big on making sure their Glocks properly ejected the empty with the magazine out, wasn’t sure if this was an actual meaningful point or not 🤷🏻♂️
Anyway, mine doesn’t properly eject with the magazine removed (the empty falls through the mag well) but I definitely fixed my weak and erratic ejection with a Suarez Extractor, some “heavy duty” extractor depressor also from Suarez, and a 30274 ejector in my Gen 3 housing.
Thanks.
Great video very informative thank you
Thanks for letting me know about not using ammonia products I watched a video where they recommended mothers and flitz
Yeah, same. I’d understood “Mother’s” was JUST as good. ALL I’ve used is Mother’s and was extremely happy with the results. No negative drawbacks to this day using a dremel. What I realize I should’ve concentrated on more was the 2 specific points on the sear and crucible though…
@@m118lrso u used mothers polish and it was all good ?
"Long time. Long time. Something like that." Dude said he's a simple man without saying he's a simple man. Don't mess with this man.
"It's stupid not to know why you're doing it." (39:15). Good advise for any work.
It’s funny - I’ve watched this video and looked at I don’t know how many other resources but only “got” one thing today. The interaction of the upper outcropping on the connector with that “cam” on the inside of the slide. I understood how the connector gets pushed inward when the slide starts recoiling and that is part of the trigger reset. I just didn’t think about the 2 surfaces involved. Thank you Johnny!
For aesthetics I completely understand polishing the entire trigger bar. However, it doesn’t matter for function. I prefer to figure out where the contact/friction points are and focus there. Also, there are some surfaces that need sharp 90 degree edges and the OEM part is quite rough.
Is there a reason you use polishing and sandpaper rather than a fine stone? The polishing looks fantastic - I’m just old and set in my ways 😜
What kind of buffing wheels are you using on the Delta Grinder/Buffer
Is there any trigger bars that are already polished or coated you could just buy instead of having to polish the oe one?
What do you do more than this to get to your trigger pull and feel ? I know change of springs (4,5 lbs striker, lowered safety plunger spring, stronger trigger spring), but what more ?
Huge thumb's up guys.. Great stuff .. Thanks
Best triggers in the world!!!
Thank you for the great video! I have one question. When breaking the edge on the cruciform kick up, you broke the edge on the bottom and not the top, correct? I would’ve thought you would break the edge on the top where the striker slips off, no?

@@johnnyglocks thanks!
I saw that too & also wondered about it.
Awesome as always Mr. Glock. 'Merica 👍🇺🇸
Curious as to why we shouldn't use mothers polish. I've only done one glock trigger job and after watching this video I'm thinking I'm gonna do it again soon because I don't think i hit those edges but I used mothers polish and it worked just fine by hand and it really cleaned up the trigger pull its nice and smooth and then hits the wall and has a nice clean break.
Johnny, can you do a video on how to polish the inside of the frame to smooth out wear marks.
Secondly, my 43X's slide didn't want to come off because the metal rear disk of the rsa was digging into the polymer of the rsa channel.
It took a hammer to get the slide off.
The metal rsa's disks have some very rough, sharp edges, and I am suprised this problem doesn't happen more often.
I got a really hard to answer question it seems,my Glock shoots left when the sights are centered,when it's all the way to the right of the dovetail it is dead on,what could I do to re-centre the barrel so I can dead center my rear sight,or am I stuck with it shooting the way it does,I mean would a new locking block change the direction of the barrel???I shoot an American Glock 17 gen3 with trijicon HD sights.
How well does a polish job help the gun? Other then a little smoother pull?
Oh god I need to polish my safety plunger in the slide, it's getting some weird marring going on and is making my trigger all gritty. Down here in Naples, FL!
Do you have a link for the polishing wheel you use for your delta polisher/grinder?
No wonder Glock is out of stock with trigger bars! They are all in your shop. LOL Once again, great video with tons of useful information. Thank you for all the sharing of info you do. I appreciate how much time and effort goes into making these videos.. So who is coming to SRQ? Text me amd let me kmow!! Jeff
