Just got done performing the polishing and the MCARBO trigger spring kit install...HOLY COW! Awesome results and a HELLUVA LOT A FUN TO DO! Now we just need you to make aluminum triggers for the Glock!
*Heres the well known secret:* The #1, best trigger job & much less costly on the planet is to: *_let your gun work._* That is right just shoot it about 300 to 500 times (less $$/less time/less mistakes/and no legal issues) The gun will naturally polish every part that needs it, in exactly the right spot. -- Plus, this logical, less anal method of letting the *tool do the work* gives you "free" training as your shooting improves. In this way you are also actually getting better at hitting your target _which is the point of a better trigger right??_
I bought a tube of Flitz and couldn’t stop polishing stuff. The only thing it didn’t polish up was my wife. Everything else including wedding rings got polished. The dog looks great.
Thanks for the Flitz love MCARBO! You can do the same with a LOT less Flitz. A very thin film on the part will get you well on your way. We discourage saturating the buffer. It's not necessary. Ditto for the feed ramp, barrel etc. You don't need that much. Otherwise, keep Flitzin'!! 👍👍👍
Bob from the Board here, recent peer reviewed research shows three tubs of 32oz Flitz can ensure a much cleaner finish. Guaranteed you’ll be hitting bullseyes at 1 mile with a 0.02 trigger pull. But you HAVE to use 3 tubs.
You should have measured trigger poundage before and after polishing the parts alone, without changing the springs. Then measure it again with changed springs.
This is a great video. Clear close-ups and great explanation of each step. Consider this when polishing the safety button, take a tip from the fiber optic polishing process & make small figure 8's instead of circles. Circles may result in a microscopically canted button face due to unequal pressure as you make circles in one direction. Figure 8's are fast, easy, and equalize the pressure on the face from every direction; north, south, east, west, clockwise, counterclockwise. Your material removal will be smoother and the button face will be flatter/more square from equal pressure in every direction. I've seen far more than my share of glass fibers under 800x magnification; yes you can see a difference.
Don't recommend grease on the extractor or anywhere in the striker channel as it will attract carbon fouling and clog up. Also, when sanding and polishing DO NOT disturb any corners on the pieces as engagement will ultimately fail.
Everything I've heard, read, or seen about Glock lubrication is directly contrary to this video, which is, otherwise, excellent. Some say that a major reason Glock will not perform as perfectly as claimed is due to over-lubrication. I will stick to the manual's and armorer's recommendations. Thank you, though, for this fine video on disassembly/reassembly, and polishing. I might purchase your spring kit.
Grease attracts dirt. In the long term the dirt and particulates it attracts will cause far more issues and wear than leaving the parts dry. There are very few places on a Glock that should be lubed and then very sparingly. Other than that great video.
@@stevo6430 Dangerous, he needs a NEW trigger and probably connector and NOT polish it w machine, just clean w cloth and put one drop of oil in the connector.
Omg, you lost me when you applied grease to the striker (firing pin). Never, ever lube that part, ever. Hope and pray that anyone watching this video knows NOT to lube the striker, striker sleeve, or the striker channel. Those parts must remain DRY and free of oil or grease.
@@BIaccCat It's not YOU buddy. I just hope there aren't any newbies watching this video. Striker fired handguns worst enemy is lube on the striker or inside that channel. It will almost certainly cause a malfunction, at the worst possible time. Bad advice.
@@PlugNuster I'm a newbie but I've heard this advice myself before when learning how to clean my gun. Let's say you accidently get shit on it, can't you just clean it off with solvent and dry it real good before reassembly? It seems like it's almost inevitable something might end up in the pin or channel when trying to scrub that shit off the breech face.
Just so you know, a firing pin safety is not made on a vertical mill. They are made on a bar fed cnc lathe, the side that you are polishing in the video is the side that gets cut off of the bar once the part is made, then to reset to make another part, the tool turret will position itself in front of the collet for the right stock out length, the collet will release, the bar is under hydraulic pressure and it will punch into the turret stopping and then the collet will clamp again and a new cycle will start for a new part to be made this will repeat itself over and over til the bar is depleted, I would run about 50 at a time and then stop the machine, clear out all the parts that are made, they will drop into a tray. I will run 1 part and check tolerances to make sure we are in tolerance to the blueprint, offset any tools if they're starting to run out of tolerance. That part is finished after 1 operation.
You do not want to use the dremel until your parts are heating up. You can ruin the heat treatment and that part could fail or break when you need it most. I learned about heat treatment from belt sanding knives. High speed dremel will do the same as a belt sander at high rpm. Good video just thought I'd let everyone know.
I followed along on my G19 Gen5. First time I took it apart. It is different than the one you did but close enough to figure out. The parts polish up like a mirror. I didn't change any springs however it is noticeably changed and the slide is much smother. Thanks for the video.
That was a GREAT instructional video. Close-in pictures really help, and the fact that you throughly went through the disassembly and re-assembly of the trigger and firming pin. That has ALWAYS intimidated me and I’ve owned a glock for 20 years.. NOW I can really improve my glocks!! THANK YOU!!
CORRECT! I would never use grease anywhere on a Glock except for MAYBE a tiny dab on the connector. This much grease is asking for failure, especially the striker! Are you serious putting grease on the striker? This is a Glock, not a John Deere tractor...
are you talking about the striker at the tip or the whole thing ? And just because I'm completely dumb to why can you tell me why .. I'm glad you said something
I watched the entire video. Keeping an open mind to see if I could glean anything new. I did. I do this to all my Glocks. Spend another $30 to get a 3.5 or a 3lb connector bar. It will not change the reliability or the safety of the pistol. It takes the trigger to another level. Solid video. It is therapeutic.
Had never taken a gun, let alone a GLOCK, down this far before tonight. Everything went butter smooth. Cleaned my 13 year old G22 and will do the polishing later on. What a difference already. If no for the videos giving me the confidence I would have had someone else do the job for me. Outstanding service, videos and parts. Got me feeling like an armorer over hear, haha.
for push out pins, we find a old drill bit that fits the pin diameter, drill into a piece of aluminum round stock with a sharp bit of the same size, then glue the worn out bit into it. makes a great pin pusher out of old worn out drill bits.
This kit is absolutely amazing really helped crisp up my trigger pull and didn’t drop the weight too much I’m sitting at 3.5lbs right now and I have an upgraded connector
I did this to my glock. Not my favorite gun. Just a traveling or truck gun.I shoot tanfos at matches. I polished every single piece and with 4 pound spring. Got 3 pound smooth trigger pull. Best money spent on a truck gun. Thank you.
I purchased the polishing kit and spring kit a few weeks ago. It shipped out within a few hours of my order. The Flitz is amazing stuff. The shine on the parts is like a mirror. For the price, you can’t go wrong! Highly recommend.
I just installed the spring kit w/4 lb trigger spring on my 19x and I could feel a instant result. My trigger pull is dramatically reduced. A class USPSA here I come. I love it!! Getting a spring kit for every glock I own. Thanks MCARBO you have a customer for life!! USAF Vet
I can’t believe I watched the whole thing. I’m about to pick up my Glock 48 and do this. I have OCD and I’ll polish the crap out of it lol. Thank you so much sir for the step by step procedure. I was scared to take anything apart in my firearms because I don’t know what I’m doing. Thank you again for the knowledge . First Glock and next is sigs, berettas, etc.
Purchased the polish kit and have 2 of my Glocks done. Wow, better than butter. My 10mm had what I call a slight jump in the trigger (probably a burr) but that is gone. Thank you.
Fun fact: the tool your looking for to tighten the collar on your dreamer is the plastic portion right behind it…. Took me 10 years to realize you screw that off tighten the collar with the button locked then just slide back down the tool and screw back on, Thankya for the vid! Used it when you came out with it and just came back for reference!
From experience polishing optical fiber, placed the cloth or a sheet of pvc shower liner under the 1,000 grit sandpaper to act as a cushion to even out the pressure of the coarse polishing.
Ordered the Glock kit for my Gen1 Glock Model 22, it came quickly and the communication was excellent. Just got it installed today and these directions were spot on. Some of the most detailed out there. I love the polish, it IS addicting. Trigger feels a lot more natural now and I learned some things about my gun! Used the 4lb spring so hopefully the brass range ammo will fire without fault. Thanks for your service Chris and keep up the good American work!
I have a glock 19 gen 4 I polished it up yesterday it works great I'm still going to go by the Springs and put them in later much better then it was thank you for your video 👍👍 Update got my trigger sprng kit man it's smooth BIG difference👍👍👍
Saw the title, Watched the video. And first thing is selling springs. And the title putting down another you tuber. His video worked perfectly polishing all parts. Super simple. No extra costs. And reduced my trigger pull to 3.8 lbs from 5.28. Just polishing. So my two cents, watch the .25 polishing video first. If you’re not satisfied. Then buy some springs. But don’t put down a fellow you tuber. Respect everyone trying to help others save a buck especially in these trying times.
I bought the spring kit and the polishing kit and spent a couple of hours doing this. It was about 6 weeks ago and right after I did it, they closed all 3 of our local ranges. FINALLY got to shoot my Gen 5 G17 today. Oh My God - what a difference. Smooth and crisp. Best $38 bucks I've ever spent!
Excellent video. I installed the spring kit and aluminum trigger in my Gen 3 35. The trigger pull initially was 5 1/2 lbs out of the box, I installed a different connector some years back and just polished the trigger bar and got it down to about 4 1/2 lbs. Today I put in the MCARBO spring kit with the 4lb spring (will adjust if I need to) and polished the firing pin/safety plunger and it is now very consistently breaking nicely at 3 1/2 lbs. Personally, the metal trigger feels much better and I was able to tweak the take up/over travel screws to get it just like I want it. Great product and excellent support for that product.
Past midnight and finished polishing the firing pin, extractor depressor plunger and the firing pin safety. I have brand new OEM 3.5 lb connector and a few other things on their way. Once in hand I will finish the polishing process. Excellent video. I'm always reading and researching, so glad that I found your video.
When you say fast shipping, you're not joking. Ordered last night after watching this vid, and order shipped today. Looking forward to installing your spring kit. Luckily I've already done the polishing work
Excellent helpful video. I bought your spring kit for my first Block and enjoyed doing this polishing and replacing springs. I loved the feeling of it so I got another one and just did my other Clock. Thank you for the helpful video. Thank you, Alison
Man this is the best informative video on taking down a Glock pistol, I actually used light sanding wheel with the Dremmel and the polishing head and my Glock 27 (Gen 3) is better than a new weapon.... The trigger pull is 3.56 Lbs and I added a Tungsten Stainless Steel rod and spring kit from Galloway and got rid of the sights and added a Trijicon HD Tritium Sights and finished by wrapping her with the Talon Grip ....... Thanks for your video and stay safe.
MCARBO is by far the best in parts and service. I installed the Hellcat pro accessories bundle. Simply amazing and now its my EDC. Delivery is fast and installation is easy! My G45 is next!
Yeah, HOLY COW! I just performed this simple and fun project with MCARBO! First time I ever took my Glock apart, never knew it was soooo easy. Thanks MCARBO!
Glock 44 could use some aftermarket replacement parts, like replacing the polymer locking block, and polymer guide rod springs. I did trigger jobs on my Glocks similar to what you did in this video, and it definitely made an improvement. I also slicked up the firing pins, safety buttons, and rails... Turned out very smooth. Thanks for doing what you do. 🇺🇸
I used the Flitz polish and then used Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish, followed with a dry buffing bit. The parts came out super shiny and smooth as a baby's behind. 😎😃
Decided to put a few hundred rds thru the Poly 80 PFC9 before I install the spring kit. Actually my wife helped me decide.... I do not have enough health insurance to cover what she might do if I spend any more "firearm allowance" for the month. I did however do the internal polishing job as per this video. Just the polishing made a vast difference.
Never oil firing pin assembly or channel. And I wouldn't change any springs to softer springs if its a EDC. Id change trigger spring to a heavier spring for a better reset. Safty plunger spring to a softer spring. And the firing pin spring I'd leave OEM 5lb or go with a 6lb spring if you use cheap ammo.
freaking best video and best GLOCK PARTS! I did step by step and the trigger is AMAZING. smooth and consistent shots! BEST MCARBO PARTS on the market. THANK YOU MCARBO! BROTHERS!
Dude, that was excellent! Fast forwarded through the polishing but will leave it on when I tackle this on two gen 4 19s. Feeling confident that I can do it thanks to a very thorough tutorial. Just subscribed
He is 100% correct. Sanding and polishing is very satisfying. It is a MEDITATION. Purists say DONT use a Dremel. I always use a Dremel. I think the results are better. Do just like in the video! McCarbo is a very very cool guy. Smart too.
I bought one of these spring kits recently, but I am confused as to why there is so much grease application.... and I always thought there doesn't need to be lubrication in the striker channel unless its a competition gun or will see thousands and thousand of rounds. Grease/oil in there would make it a carbon magnet, and factory glocks do not need much maintenance aside from basic cleaning and slide lubrication. Is the grease just for added slickness to get the best trigger?
I've been told by numerous professionals to not live in the firing spring guide area at all because that will allow fine dust and debris to grit it up and gouge your sleeve
A to Z thorough explanation! Was this a Glock trigger job or a Glock armorer's course, in an hour and a half? You explained the disassembly, cleaning/polishing, and reassembly steps so well (with good filming of the steps) while maintaining your enthusiasm (I didn't fall asleep as I did on others' videos). As we used to say in the U.S. Navy, Bravo Zulu! Awesome job!
I use brake clean to get rid of polishing medium. It will NOT harm the polymer frame or any plastic parts on a Glock. Great job. But, I use the red rouge that comes with Dremel kits. Then finish with Flitz. Cuts the work time by 75%.
Great video enjoyed it a lot, but I've never seen so much polishing compound used on any thing and I've been polising since the 80s I've polished wheels guns you name it only used the nesesary but hey it works. Again nice job
You can use a drill as a rotary tool also. Make a hillbilly stand where the drill is zip tied to a board and zip tie the trigger of the drill. Now you can fully concentrate on the part you are polishing
I appreciate you so much. This video was so helpful in reducing my trigger weight. I was able to get my CZ P10c trigger from 4.7lbs to 3.4 lbs with this technique and a HBI thea trigger kit and 3.5 spring.
I took the opportunity to do some long overdo deep cleaning with swabs and cleaning solution. I also polished the locking block and feed ramp on the barrel. My 20+ year old Gen 1 Glock 30 is smoother than new.
Awesome kit. I’ve had it for about a year now and I finally did run into the light primer strikes with 4lb firing pin spring and cheap BRASS cased ammo inc. white box 115g. Just wanted to mention that if you’re using it to potentially defend life, but you should be using good ammo in theory anyhow. It’s been so reliable I almost forgot about the light primer strike mention and thought my gun was f’d up for a brief moment. I think that’s what it is anyway so I’m going back to the range to be sure. Trigger really is about as good as it gets for a striker fired pistol.
At time stamp 48.50 I had to tap that pin out from the right to left not left to right. SAME As Install. Other then that This video and kit is outstanding!!! I did this M☆carbo trigger upgrade to my buddies Glock. He loves the improvement & awesome trigger reset . Looks like we'll be doing the rest of his Glocks in the near future. A+ in my book. 👍
Chris thank you so much for the detailed video I’ve owned my Glock 27 for 15 years now and I’ve never disassemble it to the point that I did watching your video you made it very easy and what an inexpensive way to smooth out my action everything is smooth as silk and shiny like chrome keep up the great work man 😄
I polished the trigger system on my G21 and installed an adjustable trigger and trigger stop, as well as different springs (it's an old L.E. gun that was worn slap out, barrel and all), I replaced all worn parts, including the all slide parts and the N.Y. special, orange, 12lb trigger spring that kept the bone heads up there from shooting themselves and each other because they handled the trigger like it was a double action revolver (and had zero trigger discipline), installed a 3.5lb bar, etc. and now its more akin to a 1911 trigger than a Glock trigger. It has a pull between 3.5 & 4lbs and a reset of just a few millimeters. Maybe 3/8". Good stuff. Try using copper anti-sieze, like is used on sparkplug, etc.. It's similar to (or the same as) what Glock uses and stays put a lot longer. :)
What an incredibly well done and detailed video! I just ordered both the spring and polish kit for my G27..what a bargain!! Problem is, I took a shot every time you said "Fantastic and Amazing" so I will have to wait a week to sober up and do the job..🤣..Great stuff! Seriously, Great job and a big thank you to a fellow patriot! Your pricing and ease of ordering from your website is awesome! 👍🏻
Just bought a glock23 LE trade-in. Just ordered the polishing and trigger spring kit. Looking forward to doing the polishing and trigger job .Great video 👍🏼
Anyone watching this today... do yourself a favor, and tape off (cover) your trigger shoe (anything else you don't want slag on) before getting all the gunk into it. Just makes for a better application to the polishing. Otherwise everything covered in the video is spot on... though as @Flitz points out a little goes a long way, and that is saying a lot coming from the product manufacture.
Mothers mag and aluminum polish got all my parts mirror finish in two passes for anyone looking for something in store like Walmart. You’ll find it in the wheel cleaner section.
This video will help me save some money, gun smithing services here in my country is like getting robbed! lol. thanks for sharing your knowledge on the trigger mech take down and the slide takedown as well, more power to your channel bro, you got me subscribed!
This is definitely one of the best instructional fire arm maintenance videos that I’ve ever seen the close up photography is fabulous but on that note Dude whatever you were doing to your thumbs stop it is distracting seeing these torn up meat hooks up close.. I have a stripped lower coming and I feel much better about assembling it plus I can do the polishing first. All in all a very good video!
I enjoyed the video so I bought the kits and performed the spring changes and parts polishing. I have yet to test it at the range and I don’t have a gauge to test it with, but the trigger does seem lighter. I had a horrible time with removing the largest diameter pin and had to find a different video showing the trick to removing it, which is to jiggle or move the slide lock back and forth a bit while tapping the pin out. Otherwise it would never have come out. I like that I can now confidently disassemble/reassemble the glock. It was a fun and inexpensive project and I’m looking forward to testing the lighter trigger pull at the range.
Just got done performing the polishing and the MCARBO trigger spring kit install...HOLY COW! Awesome results and a HELLUVA LOT A FUN TO DO! Now we just need you to make aluminum triggers for the Glock!
JarHead Stockton they have aluminum triggers..
I have one installed now. Not tested. Maybe on Wednesday.
Too much lube. And carbon is gonna gunk all that silicon greese up
*Heres the well known secret:* The #1, best trigger job & much less costly on the planet is to:

Saw the title, Watched the video. And first thing is selling springs. And the title putting down another you tuber. His video worked perfectly polishing all parts. Super simple. No extra costs. And reduced my trigger pull to 3.8 lbs from 5.28. Just polishing. So my two cents, watch the .25 polishing video first. If you’re not satisfied. Then buy some springs. But don’t put down a fellow you tuber. Respect everyone trying to help others save a buck especially in these trying times.
Wow-what a great upgrade! I really can feel a big difference-very crisp break-smooth take up. Can’t waited take this out to the range!
I bought the spring kit and the polishing kit and spent a couple of hours doing this. It was about 6 weeks ago and right after I did it, they closed all 3 of our local ranges. FINALLY got to shoot my Gen 5 G17 today. Oh My God - what a difference. Smooth and crisp. Best $38 bucks I've ever spent!
Excellent video. I installed the spring kit and aluminum trigger in my Gen 3 35. The trigger pull initially was 5 1/2 lbs out of the box, I installed a different connector some years back and just polished the trigger bar and got it down to about 4 1/2 lbs. Today I put in the MCARBO spring kit with the 4lb spring (will adjust if I need to) and polished the firing pin/safety plunger and it is now very consistently breaking nicely at 3 1/2 lbs. Personally, the metal trigger feels much better and I was able to tweak the take up/over travel screws to get it just like I want it. Great product and excellent support for that product.
Past midnight and finished polishing the firing pin, extractor depressor plunger and the firing pin safety. I have brand new OEM 3.5 lb connector and a few other things on their way. Once in hand I will finish the polishing process. Excellent video. I'm always reading and researching, so glad that I found your video.
When you say fast shipping, you're not joking. Ordered last night after watching this vid, and order shipped today. Looking forward to installing your spring kit. Luckily I've already done the polishing work
Excellent helpful video. I bought your spring kit for my first Block and enjoyed doing this polishing and replacing springs. I loved the feeling of it so I got another one and just did my other Clock. Thank you for the helpful video. Thank you, Alison
Loved the video,just ordered the kit
Got my polishing kit today and have one down. Wow, butter. Thanks for the instructions.
Man this is the best informative video on taking down a Glock pistol, I actually used light sanding wheel with the Dremmel and the polishing head and my Glock 27 (Gen 3) is better than a new weapon.... The trigger pull is 3.56 Lbs and I added a Tungsten Stainless Steel rod and spring kit from Galloway and got rid of the sights and added a Trijicon HD Tritium Sights and finished by wrapping her with the Talon Grip ....... Thanks for your video and stay safe.
Man if you own a Glock and you don't Know how to take the slide off, you shouldn't be watching this. Lol
hA HA HA HA!
Lol facts. I learned how to clean and maintain a gun before I fire them
🤣
It's amazing how many used guns I've broke down there were untouched since they left the factory.
MCARBO is by far the best in parts and service. I installed the Hellcat pro accessories bundle. Simply amazing and now its my EDC. Delivery is fast and installation is easy! My G45 is next!
Yeah, HOLY COW! I just performed this simple and fun project with MCARBO! First time I ever took my Glock apart, never knew it was soooo easy. Thanks MCARBO!
Amen
Glock 44 could use some aftermarket replacement parts, like replacing the polymer locking block, and polymer guide rod springs. I did trigger jobs on my Glocks similar to what you did in this video, and it definitely made an improvement. I also slicked up the firing pins, safety buttons, and rails... Turned out very smooth. Thanks for doing what you do. 🇺🇸
Awesome! Thanks Brother for your support! Will see what we can do for the polymer locking block.
This is a great video,I had a fireing pin problem and I learned how to put it back together THANK YOU for the editorial$
I used the Flitz polish and then used Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish, followed with a dry buffing bit. The parts came out super shiny and smooth as a baby's behind. 😎😃
And now I know how to disassemble a Glock 👍🏼
Decided to put a few hundred rds thru the Poly 80 PFC9 before I install the spring kit. Actually my wife helped me decide.... I do not have enough health insurance to cover what she might do if I spend any more "firearm allowance" for the month. I did however do the internal polishing job as per this video. Just the polishing made a vast difference.
Never oil firing pin assembly or channel. And I wouldn't change any springs to softer springs if its a EDC. Id change trigger spring to a heavier spring for a better reset. Safty plunger spring to a softer spring. And the firing pin spring I'd leave OEM 5lb or go with a 6lb spring if you use cheap ammo.
Well done! I will be purchasing a Glock because of this video. I will also make MCarbo my gun my first stop to buying gun upgrades as a thank you!
freaking best video and best GLOCK PARTS! I did step by step and the trigger is AMAZING. smooth and consistent shots! BEST MCARBO PARTS on the market.
THANK YOU MCARBO! BROTHERS!
Bob Ross of cleaning guns, can’t change my mind.
Dude, that was excellent! Fast forwarded through the polishing but will leave it on when I tackle this on two gen 4 19s. Feeling confident that I can do it thanks to a very thorough tutorial. Just subscribed
He is 100% correct. Sanding and polishing is very satisfying. It is a MEDITATION. Purists say DONT use a Dremel. I always use a Dremel. I think the results are better. Do just like in the video!
McCarbo is a very very cool guy. Smart too.
Thanks Brother, glad you enjoyed the video! Gun Polishing Meditation Class! haha
Mothers mag and aluminum wheel polish also works really well polished my feed ramp with it using a q tip looks like a mirror
I had a Dremel set with buffer wheels and red Jewelers rouge, worked amazing as well
Please note that Q-tips are wound one way. You will see.
@Frustrated American I use Semi chrome. Works fine. Turns the cone tool black very quickly.
Mothers mag? Going on amazon will try it thanks!
Min arrived quickly and in good packaging. Well priced and veteran owned company. Will definitely be doing more business with them.
Man… you guys makes some fantastic “how to” videos. Used your trigger kit for my CZ… now going to buy this kit for my Glock. Thanks again
did the gp 100 kit and now this one, each time amazing results. Great videos.
Wow! That is a huge improvement! I've convinced and ordering my trigger spring and polishing kit now. Thank you for putting out such helpful content!
I bought one of these spring kits recently, but I am confused as to why there is so much grease application.... and I always thought there doesn't need to be lubrication in the striker channel unless its a competition gun or will see thousands and thousand of rounds. Grease/oil in there would make it a carbon magnet, and factory glocks do not need much maintenance aside from basic cleaning and slide lubrication. Is the grease just for added slickness to get the best trigger?
The right grease will stay put and block carbon ingress if anything
The grease is to hold the spring in place. Would not recommend
Thank you for the total detailed process it was long but it was well worth it.👍🏼
Just finished this install, and this is a different pistol now! From 4.9lbs(avg) to 2.9lbs(avg). Very nice kit and video.
I don’t own a Glock, but seeing how the slide requires no roll pins is really a plus. Just one more reason these are so well loved.
Excellent video! I feel like I have the whole thing down pretty solid after watching it, and I just ordered the kits. Thank you for the great work!
All that grease looked like my mosin nagant straight out the crate
I've been told by numerous professionals to not live in the firing spring guide area at all because that will allow fine dust and debris to grit it up and gouge your sleeve
Don’t take this wrong , your video is as good as the Sig Guy’s , very informative !
Thank you for making this. It is everything I needed for my first trigger polish job!!
Ok it's bugging, me I have to know. What is that 3d printed thing?
A to Z thorough explanation! Was this a Glock trigger job or a Glock armorer's course, in an hour and a half? You explained the disassembly, cleaning/polishing, and reassembly steps so well (with good filming of the steps) while maintaining your enthusiasm (I didn't fall asleep as I did on others' videos). As we used to say in the U.S. Navy, Bravo Zulu! Awesome job!
No Glock Armorer would advise greasing up the internals.
I use brake clean to get rid of polishing medium. It will NOT harm the polymer frame or any plastic parts on a Glock. Great job. But, I use the red rouge that comes with Dremel kits. Then finish with Flitz. Cuts the work time by 75%.
Great video enjoyed it a lot, but I've never seen so much polishing compound used on any thing and I've been polising since the 80s I've polished wheels guns you name it only used the nesesary but hey it works. Again nice job
You can use a drill as a rotary tool also. Make a hillbilly stand where the drill is zip tied to a board and zip tie the trigger of the drill. Now you can fully concentrate on the part you are polishing
I know what I will be doing tomorrow. Dremels been sitting unused for too long. Got some polishing stuff from another project.
I appreciate you so much. This video was so helpful in reducing my trigger weight. I was able to get my CZ P10c trigger from 4.7lbs to 3.4 lbs with this technique and a HBI thea trigger kit and 3.5 spring.
GREAT VIDEO. THIS is the most comprehensive polish job instructional on this topic on RUclips. GREAT JOB! Thank you!
Awesome! Glad to hear it. Happy it was helpful.
You are the man! Thanks for this well made comprehensive video.
Very detailed, doing this you won’t have to buy one of the expensive after market Glock triggers.
Yes Sir! Thank you!
Great video, very illustrative. However, no oil or grease on the firing pin, please
I took the opportunity to do some long overdo deep cleaning with swabs and cleaning solution. I also polished the locking block and feed ramp on the barrel. My 20+ year old Gen 1 Glock 30 is smoother than new.
overdue--unless you're actually going to overdo it
Awesome kit. I’ve had it for about a year now and I finally did run into the light primer strikes with 4lb firing pin spring and cheap BRASS cased ammo inc. white box 115g. Just wanted to mention that if you’re using it to potentially defend life, but you should be using good ammo in theory anyhow. It’s been so reliable I almost forgot about the light primer strike mention and thought my gun was f’d up for a brief moment. I think that’s what it is anyway so I’m going back to the range to be sure. Trigger really is about as good as it gets for a striker fired pistol.
At time stamp 48.50 I had to tap that pin out from the right to left not left to right. SAME As Install. Other then that This video and kit is outstanding!!! I did this M☆carbo trigger upgrade to my buddies Glock. He loves the improvement & awesome trigger reset . Looks like we'll be doing the rest of his Glocks in the near future. A+ in my book. 👍
Top notch video! I ordered kits for my G17 Gen 5 MOS and 27. can't wait to dig into them! Thanks!
Chris thank you so much for the detailed video I’ve owned my Glock 27 for 15 years now and I’ve never disassemble it to the point that I did watching your video you made it very easy and what an inexpensive way to smooth out my action everything is smooth as silk and shiny like chrome keep up the great work man 😄
I polished the trigger system on my G21 and installed an adjustable trigger and trigger stop, as well as different springs (it's an old L.E. gun that was worn slap out, barrel and all), I replaced all worn parts, including the all slide parts and the N.Y. special, orange, 12lb trigger spring that kept the bone heads up there from shooting themselves and each other because they handled the trigger like it was a double action revolver (and had zero trigger discipline), installed a 3.5lb bar, etc.
and now its more akin to a 1911 trigger than a Glock trigger.
It has a pull between 3.5 & 4lbs and a reset of just a few millimeters. Maybe 3/8". Good stuff.
Try using copper anti-sieze, like is used on sparkplug, etc.. It's similar to (or the same as) what Glock uses and stays put a lot longer. :)
Great work 👍🏾
Thank You! This is a great video and you are providing great products and service. Keep on keeping on!
I love this video it’s a good good reference video for your Glock with real time. Experience is like my 19th time watching.
What an incredibly well done and detailed video! I just ordered both the spring and polish kit for my G27..what a bargain!! Problem is, I took a shot every time you said "Fantastic and Amazing" so I will have to wait a week to sober up and do the job..🤣..Great stuff!
Seriously, Great job and a big thank you to a fellow patriot! Your pricing and ease of ordering from your website is awesome! 👍🏻
Haha...it's a great drinking game! Thanks Brother, we appreciate your Support!
This is the BEST video on this topic / reassembly. I followed it step by step and what an awesome improvement! Thank you
Prospector James Marshall Thanks Brother, glad you found it helpful!
Great tips. I am assembling a PF940 this weekend and I will now put a mirror finish on the internals.
Thanks for a great video and parts! You are doing a super job keep on keeping on!
Just bought a glock23 LE trade-in. Just ordered the polishing and trigger spring kit. Looking forward to doing the polishing and trigger job .Great video 👍🏼
Anyone watching this today... do yourself a favor, and tape off (cover) your trigger shoe (anything else you don't want slag on) before getting all the gunk into it. Just makes for a better application to the polishing. Otherwise everything covered in the video is spot on... though as @Flitz points out a little goes a long way, and that is saying a lot coming from the product manufacture.
did this to my glock 19 gen 4 FS and it worked great!!! awesome video~!
Mothers mag and aluminum polish got all my parts mirror finish in two passes for anyone looking for something in store like Walmart. You’ll find it in the wheel cleaner section.
Excellent. I got your kit and my G3 23 is now pullin 3.5 too ~ !
This video will help me save some money, gun smithing services here in my country is like getting robbed! lol. thanks for sharing your knowledge on the trigger mech take down and the slide takedown as well, more power to your channel bro, you got me subscribed!
Yeah, gunsmiths think you're Santa Clause.
This is definitely one of the best instructional fire arm maintenance videos that I’ve ever seen the close up photography is fabulous but on that note Dude whatever you were doing to your thumbs stop it is distracting seeing these torn up meat hooks up close.. I have a stripped lower coming and I feel much better about assembling it plus I can do the polishing first. All in all a very good video!
I enjoyed the video so I bought the kits and performed the spring changes and parts polishing. I have yet to test it at the range and I don’t have a gauge to test it with, but the trigger does seem lighter. I had a horrible time with removing the largest diameter pin and had to find a different video showing the trick to removing it, which is to jiggle or move the slide lock back and forth a bit while tapping the pin out. Otherwise it would never have come out. I like that I can now confidently disassemble/reassemble the glock. It was a fun and inexpensive project and I’m looking forward to testing the lighter trigger pull at the range.
A brass tumbler works great at polishing parts and you can get a variety of media from Rio Grande jewelry supply for super slippery part fitment.
