Firing the Glock 43 - Trigger Finger Stings!
- Thread starter MaxReaver
- Start date
42 smooth trigger
43 serrated trigger
may be some exceptions to this but mine and the ones i've seen this seems to be the case.
i prefer the smooth trigger but honestly if my finger gets beat up by a 9mm glock then i'm more concerned about my mancard than glock's trigger. YMMV.

I have a stock 43 and it has a serrated trigger.
And it's going to get sanded... Thanks XTRY51!
My friend is probably going to sell his 43 for this exact issue , he hates the serrated trigger, and i told him we can drill out the trigger shoe pin, on his 43 trigger bar, and an extra 42 trigger , and then drop a roll pin in it. But he declined. Probably going to get an xds 9mm instead.
When i first shot the 43 i noticed the issue as well. So i went to for a 42 instead. And lower overall recoil.

Start around 120-150 grit. Finish smooth it with 220 should be fine.
And remember to unload it first

Calling dibs on russdenney's G43 before it hits the classifieds.
Also is the price negotiable? I hear the trigger sucks.![[grin]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/041.gif "Grin [grin]")
get in line. post #11. i offered him a pretty sweet deal at that.
Your logic really sucks: $13.99 for a trigger is a far cry from "a few hundred bucks". Lots of fail, stupidity, soft skulls and an abundance of wet tampons in this [STRIKE=stupid]thread[/STRIKE] post.
Every gun has its weakness: Better luck next time. /S/

Sometimes you just lose faith in a pistol and you have to get rid of it.
With that said, I'm in love with my 43, I hit 900 rounds today (400 jhps). No malfunction (besides my rear sight coming loose at some point). Haven't cleaned or even lubed it yet.
Haven't been bothered by the trigger, but I'm a glock guy and I put a lot of finger of the trigger.
LOL. Looks like I hit a nerve...
Yes...maybe I can find a better deal on a trigger....and maybe I am rationalizing to a great degree because I am just more comfortable with the Sig or HK product. But you had to go off and insult me.
Bravo!

Nah, some people jsut find it amusing when guys give up on a gun in like 10 seconds. Back when I bought like 2 guns a month I had "one of these" guys that used to shop at one of the gun shops I shopped at. He was an endless supply of barely used guns for my friends... because he'd buy a gun, shoot it, whine about not hitting anything with it, and sell it... with like 50 rounds down the tube.
Then again I'll also be the first person to say that Glocks aren't for everyone, or HK or whatever for that matter... if that was the case then the rest of them would all be out of business already.... handguns are like the old saying, "there's an ass for every seat" or somesuch.

Lol he might have a dumb opinion but there's no need to shit down his throat over it.
The funny thing is if he had said it a different way, the butthurt level would have been a lot lower. "For reasons that are not entirely rational, I'm done with this gun so I decided to sell it."

I would have gone with a G17 or a G19 for a first Glock, those two guns are kinda the standardbearers of the
platform and among best in class.
Strangely enough I ended up going in the other direction. I've owned more HKs and Sigs than about 95% of the people on this forum have, and I don't have a single one of them left and a safe with a bunch of Glocks in it... well, and a beater 22 and beater frankengun 1911... and soon to be a very pretty DW 1911.

you gotta realize its a sub compact carry gun , not meant to be comfortable at the range, but it sounds like your playing just the tip. shit I just shot my Gen 2 G19 earlier and the notch on the front of grip pinches my pinky up good. No big deal ill live.

my 2 G43's were sold off quick as they just didn't fit the bill, shot ok just seemed I always went for the XDS or G26 more when I opened the safe. Wife even likes her shield more.. Hey I even bought a WASR because I shot one and it wasn't bad so I found one cheap, But really got to handle it and shoot it more than looking at it at a gun shop and Hated it. I'm known to buy and if no likey I sell it, no biggie my $ and I think I'm still ahead of the game.You really cant go to a store and handle one and "THINK" you like/want it until you actually hit the range a couple times and or carry it for a week.

I love the size of the G43 for sure...very nice for carry. I just didn't like the trigger, the sights, or the parts that seemed to be cheaply stamped...Maybe it is just perception, but I don't get the feel of a quality firearm with the Glock.
