Can anyone advise if these triggers are better than the Pyramid triggers sold by the Glock Store.

I just ordered one of these tools from the Glock Store. Hoping it makes reinserting the trigger bar into the housing much easier.

Yes a must have tool. After a few times its great and so simple.

I finally picked up a GPT, and got one of the newer 74332 triggers with the "5 pound" trigger pull. More on that later...

My last re-up on the Glock Armorer course predated the release of the GPT, but it was still a straightforward install if you've ever detail stripped a Glock Gen 5 frame to do something like change a trigger or connector. There are some differences when it comes to the fire control housing internals themselves, but there's really no need to tear it down that far for most folks, especially since the GPT comes as a complete and pre-assembled drop-in unit. So you merely have to punch out the trigger pin, remove the locking block and slide stop, punch out the trigger housing pin, lever out the complete trigger group, and reverse all that to install. It's a 60 second job if you've ever done all that before.

After dropping the GPT into my G45, I was impressed with the noticeable difference in the trigger feel. First impression was that it's lighter than the factory G45 trigger, with negligible weight to the brief takeup before a very short wall with a light and crisp break. I dig it.

However, despite the "5 pound" label on the new iteration of the GPT and the inclusion of a standard Glock 5.5 pound "blank" connector, I was reliably getting 4.3 pound readings on my trigger pull gauge. Interesting...

Out of curiosity, I broke it back down and swapped in a spare Apex Performance Connector, which is roughly equivalent to a factory (-) connector in that with a stock Glock trigger it drops the trigger pull from ~5.5 to ~4.5, or a difference of about a pound.

Since swapping connectors necessitated disconnecting the GPT's modified trigger bar from the fire control housing internals, I had to pull up the updated armorer's handout for the GPT in order to make sure I was reassembling that correctly. It's slightly trickier than inserting a standard Glock 5 trigger bar, but I was able to get it after a few seconds of fiddling. The reassembly tool referenced above is probably handy, but not strictly necessary.

After reassembly with the Apex connector installed, I could tell the trigger was way too light, just by feel. The trigger gauge read at 2.9 pounds. Too far!

So I ended up breaking it back down a third time to reinstall the factory "5.5" connector, and I'm back to a 4.3 pound trigger pull with my new GPT.

Also worth noting is that, due to the design of the GPT, the dead trigger doesn't get pinned against the rear of the frame, since there's a small spring inside the GPT that pushes the trigger bar back forward. This means you can repeatedly "pull" the trigger after dropping the striker, albeit with a decreased weight and no wall. Might be a little handy for overall gun manipulation dry fire practice, though you're not getting the true trigger feel for doing trigger drills specifically. This also means that in order to field strip a Glock with a GPT, you have to hold the trigger back to get the slide all the way off the frame, which effectively means I now need to pull the trigger twice during disassembly.

(Funny how other manufacturers tout their "no trigger pull necessary" field stripping as a selling point, whereas Glock doubles down like: "Oh yeah? Well, we're going to make you pull the trigger twice!")

Overall, I think the GPT is a big improvement over the factory trigger, and honestly even better than most of the aftermarket Glock triggers I've tried over the years. Glock really knocked this one out of the park. I'd be thrilled if this was the standard Gen 6 trigger.

I'm going to pick up at least one or two more GPTs in the near future, and I'm interested to see if these other GPTs are similarly closer to 4 pounds or more like the 5 pounds advertised for this new generation.

RogueJSK, I don’t have that issue at all with the GPT. My Glock disassembles just like it did with the stock trigger installed. I don’t have to hold down the trigger to remove the slide. I do have the older (original) version of the GPT though I doubt that would be why.

Anyway, I also like the GPT. I shoot great with the stock Glock trigger, but the GPT trigger shoe is much more ergonomic because the safety tab sits flush when depressed. Achieving this used to require aftermarket solutions.

I'd love to have a GPT in my G20. I called Glock today and asked if such was in the works. The tech couldn't tell me, saying that they never divulge new releases ahead of official company announcement, so, it's not a 'yes' but it's also not a 'no'.

In addition to the original 9mm GPT, Glock has introduced this trigger for the 22 LR G44 and the 40 caliber pistols. A GPT for the large frame Glocks would be the next logical step, so, here's hoping.
