The factory trigger on my G19 is heavy. Thinking about polishing the internals.
Anyone done a Glock trigger job? What made the biggest difference?

Polishing can help but honestly just swapping to an aftermarket connector and trigger spring made the biggest difference on my G19. Apex or Lone Wolf make good drop-in parts. If you're not comfortable doing the work yourself, most gunsmiths can do a basic trigger job for $100-150.
Glock triggers aren't my specialty but the principle's the same as AR triggers - smooth contact surfaces and proper spring weights. If you're gonna polish, focus on the sear engagement areas and use fine compounds. But honestly for the cost difference you might as well just get an Apex kit and call it done.
Did trigger jobs on several Glocks over the years. Like Zach said, connector and springs are your biggest bang for buck. Ghost connectors are popular but can be finicky. I'd recommend starting with just a trigger spring kit from Apex or similar - safer and still makes a noticeable difference. Polish the internals if you're comfortable taking it apart, but go slow and watch some YouTube videos first.
Can't help much with the plastic fantastic stuff - I'm more of a lever gun guy. But my nephew did something to his Glock trigger that made it way better. Think he used some Apex parts? Might be worth asking on the Glock-specific forums for more detailed advice.
+1 on this. My buddy had the same issue and switching to Vedder LightTuck fixed it for him.
Welcome to the addiction lol. Your wallet will never recover.
Appreciate the honest review. Most people just hype everything up.
I had the opposite experience honestly. But everyone's different I guess.
