The Updated GLOCK Performance Trigger for Gen4 & Gen5 Pistols

The GLOCK Performance Trigger 74332 is GLOCK's factory-developed performance trigger for compatible 9mm Gen4 and Gen5 pistols.

Rather than replacing the factory fire-control system with a third-party trigger kit, the Performance Trigger gives shooters an OEM GLOCK option with a flat-faced trigger shoe and a refined trigger pull while retaining the safety functions of the GLOCK Safe Action® System.

GLOCK rates this current 74332 configuration at approximately 5 pounds of trigger pull.

74332 Is the Updated Performance Trigger

Product number 74332 is important because it identifies the later version of the GLOCK Performance Trigger.

The original Performance Trigger was released primarily for Gen5 pistols under an earlier product number. GLOCK subsequently updated the product and expanded factory compatibility to selected Gen4 pistols.

The 74332 package includes the Gen5 slide cover plate required when installing the trigger in a compatible Gen4 pistol.

That makes 74332 the version to look for when the goal is factory-supported Gen4 and Gen5 compatibility rather than the older Gen5-only Performance Trigger package.

Factory GLOCK Gen4 / Gen5 Compatibility

GLOCK currently specifies the Performance Trigger for the following 9mm pistol models:

• GLOCK 17 Gen4
• GLOCK 17 Gen5
• GLOCK 19 Gen4
• GLOCK 19 Gen5
• GLOCK 26 Gen4
• GLOCK 26 Gen5
• GLOCK 34 Gen4
• GLOCK 34 Gen5
• GLOCK 19X
• GLOCK 45
• GLOCK 47

Do not assume compatibility with other GLOCK models merely because the trigger housing appears similar. This Huckleberry Arms listing follows GLOCK's published factory compatibility list for part 74332.

Important Gen4 Installation Requirement

When the GLOCK Performance Trigger is installed in a compatible Gen4 pistol, GLOCK requires the supplied Gen5 slide cover plate to replace the original Gen4 slide cover plate.

The replacement plate is not simply cosmetic. GLOCK specifically identifies it as necessary for proper Gen4 compatibility and function with the Performance Trigger.

Flat-Faced Trigger Shoe

The GLOCK Performance Trigger uses a flat-faced trigger shoe rather than the more curved profile associated with a conventional factory GLOCK trigger.

The flatter face gives the trigger finger a consistent contact surface and changes the feel of the trigger without requiring the customer to assemble a collection of aftermarket trigger components.

Approximately 5-Pound Trigger Pull

The current 74332 version is identified with an approximately 5-pound trigger pull.

Actual measured pull weight can vary between individual pistols, parts, measuring equipment and use. The value should therefore be treated as a nominal factory specification rather than a guarantee that every installation will measure exactly 5.0 pounds.

Maintains GLOCK Safe Action® Safety Features

One of the major reasons to consider the Performance Trigger instead of a highly modified aftermarket fire-control system is that it was engineered by GLOCK around the company's existing pistol platform.

GLOCK states that the Performance Trigger maintains the safety features of the proven Safe Action® System.

That makes the Performance Trigger particularly attractive to shooters who want a different trigger feel but prefer to stay within the factory GLOCK ecosystem.

More Than a Trigger Shoe

The GLOCK Performance Trigger is not simply a replacement flat trigger shoe attached to the standard factory trigger bar.

It is a complete factory performance-trigger assembly that changes the operating geometry of the trigger mechanism to provide its characteristic pull.

For that reason, comparisons between the Performance Trigger and a conventional GLOCK trigger equipped only with an aftermarket connector or shoe are not strictly apples-to-apples.

Designed for Shooters Who Want a More Refined Factory Trigger

The Performance Trigger makes the most sense for shooters who want a factory-engineered trigger upgrade rather than building a trigger from multiple aftermarket components.

Potential applications include:

• Competition Pistols
• Range & Training Guns
• Precision-Oriented GLOCK Builds
• Factory-OEM Performance Upgrades

As with any trigger change, the suitability of the final pistol for a particular defensive, competition, duty or recreational role should be evaluated by the owner or responsible agency.

Installation by a Certified GLOCK Armorer

GLOCK specifies that the Performance Trigger should be installed by a certified GLOCK Armorer.

Proper installation is particularly important on Gen4 pistols because the supplied Gen5 slide cover plate must also be installed.

After installation, the pistol should be inspected and function-checked according to GLOCK procedures before live fire.

Use the Factory Compatibility List — Not Internet Conversions

The internet contains numerous examples of shooters modifying Performance Triggers for pistols or calibers that GLOCK does not list for part 74332.

Huckleberry Arms does not recommend grinding, altering, changing ejectors or otherwise modifying this assembly in an attempt to install it in an unsupported pistol.

For this listing, compatibility is limited to the factory-supported 9mm models identified by GLOCK.

Gen4 vs. Gen5: What Changes?

For a compatible Gen5 pistol, the Performance Trigger is designed around the existing Gen5 architecture.

For a compatible Gen4 pistol, the critical additional step is installation of the supplied Gen5 slide cover plate.

That simple distinction is one of the reasons identifying this product as 74332 matters. Earlier Performance Trigger packaging was not originally marketed with the same Gen4 support.
