This Action Enhancement Kit is a drop-in trigger assembly and performance connector set designed for Gen 5 Glock® pistols. It addresses the primary shortcomings of the factory trigger system: excessive pull weight, long pre-travel, and a vague reset. By replacing both the trigger mechanism housing shoe/bar and the connector as a matched set, this kit produces a measurable reduction in trigger pull weight (approximately 1 lb.), shortens overall travel, and delivers a distinct, crisp break with a positive, tactile reset. The center-mounted pivoting safety maintains factory-spec drop safety values. No fitting or trigger tuning required—direct drop-in for Gen 5 frames.
Compatibility
- Glock 17 Gen 5
- Glock 19 Gen 5

Key Features
- Pull weight reduction: Approximately 1 lb. reduction from factory pull weight (actual pull weight depends on individual pistol tolerances and spring condition).
- Reduced pre-travel and overtravel: Shorter trigger stroke before break, less overtravel after sear release.
- Crisp break: Clean letoff with minimal creep; no gritty or stacking feel.
- Short, positive reset: Audible and tactile reset point shorter than factory—repeat shots faster.
- Drop-in fit: No filing, polishing, or fitting required. Install with standard armorer tools.
- Center-mounted pivoting safety: Maintains factory drop-safety compliance; no reduction in safety margin.
Install Difficulty
Difficulty rating: 2 out of 5 — Basic armorer skills required. Tools needed: Glock disassembly tool (or punch), small punch set, non-marring hammer, and a clean work surface. Trigger assembly swaps in about 10 minutes. No permanent modification to the frame or slide. Disconnect the factory trigger bar, remove the slide, drift out the trigger pin, swap the trigger shoe/bar assembly, reinstall the connector, and reassemble. Test function with snap caps before live fire.
FAQ
Will this kit work with my Gen 5 slide or aftermarket slide?
Yes. The kit is compatible with factory Gen 5 slides and most aftermarket slides that accept standard Gen 5 trigger housings. However, if your slide uses an extended or aftermarket firing pin safety spring, verify that the connector geometry is compatible—some aftermarket slides may require a different connector angle.
Does this kit include the trigger housing or trigger spring?
No. This kit includes the Apex Action Enhancement Trigger with trigger bar (classic curved shoe) and the Apex Performance Connector. You reuse your factory trigger housing, trigger spring, and slide components. If your factory housing is damaged or worn, replace it separately before installing this kit.
Is this kit legal for USPSA Carry Optics or Production division?
USPSA Production and Carry Optics divisions allow aftermarket triggers that do not reduce the trigger pull weight below the factory minimum of 2 lbs. for the first pull (Production) or 3 lbs. (Carry Optics). This kit typically results in a pull weight of 4.5–5.5 lbs., which is legal for both divisions. Check your local match rules and classifier requirements. Not legal for IDPA SSP division if the trigger weight drops below
