IMHO good and bad with a Glock trigger is relative. Compared to my full on paper puncher 1911s with roll triggers they will never be very good. The outcome of the little bit of fiddling I've done with the plastic beasty triggers has for the biggest part not been positive. That not being fully cocked until you pull the trigger is a glorious safety idea but a stumbling point when you are trying to work on the trigger. Reminds me of doing trigger jobs on Ruger Redhawks. Just simply can'get the thing as light as you want because the trigger and firing mechanism are so intimately intertwined.

IMO, if a body is wanting a plastic gun for competition the Glock can't hold a candle to the new Walther PPQ's. They are superior in every way to the Glocks. Better ergonomics, much better trigger and reset, better sights, better balance, standard rifleing and all straight out of the box.

Haven't held the PPQ but have held the PPX from the same family. Slick DA trigger but the gun not something I recommend to anyone.. A bit to fragile. Our range Glocks have run for years with no trouble.. PPX stays broken...

After powder coating for almost 2 years, I finally tried some 230 grn PC'd bullets in my Glock 21. At the range Monday I fired about 75 rnds. and the barrel looks great. . Next time I'll try a lot more and have a better idea of the PC in Glock. Ax, I had Barstow make a barrel for the #21. It shoots great with factory loads but not with reloads. I sent it back 3 times, and still won't shoot them.

While I'm still stuck in the Barsto and Kart barrel groove for my paper punchers the KKM products have a good reputation. I don't strickly follow the no cast/lead bullets rule in the original Glock barrel but I understand the need to closely watch the polygonally rifled bore for lead buildup. I've never subscribed to the "leading causing ka-booms" in Glocks. Most of the ka-booms have been in .40 S&W. Looking at pics of the destroyed barrels and chambers, I've often wondered if bullet set-back from an oversized case or insufficient crimp has been the cause of the obviously extreme pressures that caused the destruction. That said, I've shot a number of cast lead SWCs in a G21 (.45 acp) and G17 (9mm) without any problems...or leading. Another factor is that some Glocks have been documented to be capable of firing slightly out of battery, causing ruptured cases (which are IMHO not fully supported near the back of a factory Glock barrel chamber). My personal opinion is that I believe lead bullets are safe as long as you keep an eye on things, especially your reloading technique.

Doesn't HK use polygonal rifling in some of their pistols? What do they say about using lead?

Not all "polygonal rifling" is the same apparently. Tanfoglio uses it and there's no problem with lead.

I've never had a bit of problem with the Polygonal barrel and lead bullets in my .40 S&W Glock. I believe it goes back to the velocity/lube combination. Shot quite a bit of lead through it. Only changed to a KKM barrel because I was tired of having to size the brass in a separate operation to the base because of lack of case support in the stock barrel.
