G43

[Dale Gribble]

Recently picked up a G43. Love the pistol…great size…shoots good.

But…may have to do some trigger work. Right at 7.5 pounds (measured it 5 times). Gonna shoot the hell out of it for a bit before I do any work, though.

Google Glock Triggers....Get The Edge....I just ordered another on yesterday...It'll be 3 pounds and CRISP.

Sadly, I don’t think they make The Edge for the slim Glocks because I looked into it awhile back. I’d love to know if I am wrong.

Odd. My old one was about 5 pounds and my newer one is about 5.5. Like you said, shoot it a bunch and see if it just needs to wear a bit.

.....was hoping this thread was about a real G43, lol. Gewehr 43.

I bought a Gen 4 G19 new a couple of years ago that came from the factory at about 7lbs. Terrible. A different connector and much massaging of internals got it down to 5 and it ended up being a great shooter.

IMHO it’s hard to beat a overwatch precision poly DAT for the 60$ they cost

My first thought when I saw the title.
BINGO.

part of the problem with the "small frame" glocks is they use the same striker spring as the rest of the line up. the 42/43/43x/48 all have a shorter striker and there is more preload on the striker spring before you have even touched the trigger.

a reduced power striker spring (even 1/2lb down) will dramatically reduce pull weight and wont yield light strikes. reduced power safety plunger spring helps as well.

i use wolff but their lead times right now are pretty long. may be able to find both elsewhere. or, if you have another glock with a high rough count you can swap striker springs for a broken in spring.

as noted above, the overwatch triggers help.

i leave the factory "minus" (small frame) connectors alone.

ymmv

Got 650 through it. Stoned some of the internals and installed an Edge connector…I’m right at 4.5

There you go. Perfect defensive trigger weight to my thinking.
