Glock Gen 2 vs Gen 3 Trigger

[Garufa]

Shake the cobwebs out of your heads on ancient Glocks and help me out here.

Did something change in the trigger between Gen 2 and 3 Glocks?

I have a G2 23 bought brand new in 1992 that I shoot far better than a G3 19 bought brand new maybe 6 or 7 years ago.  Way more rounds have been put through the G3 19.  The G2 23’s trigger is simply superior and I shoot it much better.

Strange that the gun with fewer rounds has the better trigger. 

Does your Gen 2 23 have a smooth trigger, or serrated?

Didn’t they increase the trigger poundage from like 4.4 lbs to 6 lbs. on that change?  I have a Gen 2 G17, that I bought new, and it has a very good trigger.

I thought it was interesting that you posted this when you did. Coincidentally, I shot my G23 Gen 2 (bought new in 1996 if I remember correctly) the same day you posted this, and I was thinking the same thing that it has a much better trigger than any of the newer Glocks I've shot over the years. About 5 years ago I bought a G17 Gen 4, and just didn't like it, couldn't shoot it as well as the old 23 so I sold it. Since then I've bought and shot Gen 3's, Gen 4's and Gen 5's in various calibers and I don't think any of them feel quite as good as the old 23. Quantitatively I think the trigger has a shorter uptake, crisper break and shorter reset than any of my newer ones. It could use a new slide lock spring and probably needs a new recoil spring, but the overall feel of it is just better somehow. Guess it's kinda like St. Pauli Girl...

Nope. Just haven’t heard the answer I’m looking for.

I'm guilty of that many times on here
