Vickers Tactical Carry Trigger GLOCK

Larry Vickers worked with TangoDown to come out with this new trigger for Glocks



It's a flat faced polymer trigger. It uses the same material as the OEM trigger instead of metals like many aftermarket triggers. LAV himself posted on Soldier Systems Daily that this came as a request by a Federal LE counter terrorism unit.

The take-up is the same as factory trigger, but over-travel was shortened.


There are two versions - one for Gen3 and Gen4, other for Gen5

Gen3, Gen4, G42, and G43
