To look at those two, your gonna have a few baby lizards tearing around soon!  ;D

The only other advise I can think of for you on the Glock, is that the back pin is actually plastic, and it'll slide out like nothing.  The front two will resist unless you wiggle the slide stop while you push on them.  I'd suggest taking out the bottom one first while moving the slide stop around until the pin slides free.  Then the top one should slide out no problem.  If it catches at all, just pull out the slide stop and the pin will go out smooth.  The little wire spring on the slide stop causes the pins to "catch" a bit.  DON'T force anything like the chimps on Youtube though!  Everything slides nice and easy when you do it right.   :)

Took them a couple weeks, but we're up to 5 regulars each day now.  ;D

All three pins in the Glock should be pushed out left to right, looking from the rear, and replaced in the reverse order.

Couple of things to note;  There is a plastic firing pin sleeve that often need encouragement to come out.  One of Badger's pictures showed that part removed but around the firing pin.

Another thing is that there are two tiny plastic firing pin spring cups.  They are at the business end of the firing pin.  They can be a bear to get reinstalled.  The firing pin spring must be compressed and the two half put into place and the spring released over them.  I have drilled a small hole in a work surface so that I can place the rear extension of the firing pin in the hole when I compress the spring.  It supports the firing pin and keeps it from scooting around during the operation.

Next is when reinstalling the Slide Stop Lever.  It has a straight wire spring that needs to be positioned properly on one of the pins.  It can easily be installed on the wrong side of the pin and not provide the proper tension.

Last thing, as you will probably know, it will  help to use a drift or punch to align the holes in the  parts and frame, putting the drift in from left to right and then inserting the pin from right to left and letting it follow the drift out, keeping the parts aligned.

The home page of Lone Wolf Distributors has an expanded parts diagram if you want to check it out

It is not a tough job at all.

Have fun

Thanks for the info! i did much of what you did, except stoning parts, and found the trigger improved dramatically! I use a titanium striker and firing pin safety plunger too on my G35. I think they help but I'm not sure they make as much difference as polishing and stoning the parts do though.

I have thought about lightening the slide on my G30 though. Glockworx has pretty cool pictures of a G30 slide modified. But I have bigger fish to fry right now...

But I thought my G21 was a perfect pistol,....- :P

Thank you for the info BM,....as now I see the true power of the Dark Side,.....

Cookies are great...

If I can get an improvement on an otherwise gun that can "take it", I will.

Thanks again BM...I thought just putting the lower in the dishwasher was all it needed,..... ;)

What is it about these butt ugly guns that have such an attraction?

More parts came!   :)

How much over travel was there?  The whole length of the set screw you see.  A LOT!!!


GONE is the cheap plasticy DOYNG feeling!   ;D ;D ;D

http://www.lonewolfdist.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=1057

I think the part was $25 with shipping off Ebay.  It's an original Glock part modified and sold by Lone Wolf.  Took maybe 10 minutes to install and adjust.  


HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Dude, yer killin' me with this stuff!!!!   ;D  ;D

Seriously, thanks for the great pics and info (and to all the others posting some great tips also).
I've always worked on 1911's, but this has got me really interested in the Glock mechanism and delving into them deeper.

That lizard porn made me puke in my mouth a little... ;) JK

Pretty cool but I will keep mine factory stock.

There is a $.75 cent fix to help the trigger out on youtube. Another Glock Armorer I met told me about it but have yet to check it out. My G30SF and G21SF are perfect enough for me.

Great photos!!! Got me thinking...

Not trying to rain on the parade here but I have to ask: For action shooting (USPSA/IDPA) and self defense applications, does it really matter how much take up or over travel there is in the trigger (not necessarily a Glock-specific question)? If you believe it matters for these applications, please explain why. I just want to know what your opinion is. And keep in mind I'm not talking about slow-fire applications like bullseye or hunting.

I have been shooting competition for a few years and I have never noticed, while in the course of fire, how much take up or over travel there was/is in the trigger. And some of you may remember that I used my G30 in self defense several years ago. I can tell you in that moment it never occurred to me how much grit, take up, or over travel there was in the trigger either.....

But if for no other reason it's because you can, that's darn good enough for me!   ;D  ;D

Trigger pull and cycle time (your cycle time more so than the guns) will have every bit as much to do with your performance no matter if your shooting at a humming bird or a raving lunatic with an AK47 pointed at you.  How much you happen to notice their effect is irrelevant to end result.

Regardless of the skill level of the shooter, a firearm that’s more efficient and easier to operate is just that.  You'll reap the benefits whether you notice them (realize it) or not.

The best driver in the world is at a disadvantage if he's in an inferior car.

From an engineering standpoint (I'm mechanical engineer), the polished parts will by all reason I can see add to the consistant opperation, and reliability the machine as well.
