A collection of posts often on colt E- and I-frame revolvers: pythons, model 357s, officer model specials, etc. Topics not limited to: action jobs, fixing Bubba-gone-wrong gunsmith mistakes, and revolver porn. And sometimes I'll wander off the reservation and type random nouns and verbs that have nothing to do with our sole purpose, because who the hell can really pay attention that long?

Glock trigger job

I have a lot of colts. And for almost all of them there is a vague sense of guilt when I throw a bunch of bullets through them. Yeah, they are made for it. Yeah, the purpose of a tool is to be used. But: they are not made anymore, so use is terminal.

I've always liked glocks since they are the oppostite: completely anonymous, replacable and reliable. Use it up? Buy another just like it. You won't be able to tell the difference. Pull the trigger? Something will come out the other end, unlesss you've screwed up reloading. Something breaks? Almost anyone can replace almost anything on a glock in less than 10 minutes. Seriously. Try doing that with a colt.

But with that said their out of the box triggers suck. Fortunately it's pretty easy to fix, even if you are not mechanically inclined. The AGI video on them is good, but this web page works too: 25 cent trigger job.
