How to Shorten a Glock Trigger Pull

To shorten the trigger pull on a Glock trigger you will need to replace the pull arm inside the frame of the Glock. Shortening the trigger pull will allow you to fire the gun faster than a Glock with a stock. You will need to know exactly how to disassemble and reassemble your Glock. This will help you to fire your Glock more accurately and help keep your fingers from cramping when firing your Glock.

    • 1

      Press the clip release button on the left side of the handle and remove the clip from the Glock. Pull the slide back to eject the bullet from the chamber.

      Pull the trigger until you hear the firing pin release. Pull the slide back a quarter inch and pull the plastic tabs on the side of the frame down at the same time. Push the slide forward to remove the slide from the frame.

    • 3

      Locate the retaining pin that secures the trigger to the frame just above the trigger. Push the retaining pin from the frame using the disassemble tool. Pull the trigger arm up and disconnect the spring from the rear of the arm.

    • 4

      Connect the spring to the rear of the replacement arm and insert the arm into the frame in the same position that the old arm was. Replace the pin to the frame and force the pin into the frame using the Glock tool.

    • 5

      Place the slide on top of the gun's frame. Pull the slide back until the slide locks onto the frame of the Glock.

Tips & Warnings
