Gen 6 is different enough that much of the aftermarket built up for Gen 3-5 simply won’t work with Gen 6, but that didn’t stop Johnny Glocks from jumping on adapting their triggers to work with Gen 6. Released only about a month after Gen 6 hit the market, Johnny Glocks VEX 6 was available within a couple of days of when my Gen 6 G17 arrived. Perfect timing.
Installing the VEX 6 is nearly the exact same as any other Glock trigger. If you can detail strip a Glock, you can install the VEX 6 with ease.
Offered in two flavors, Defensive and Competitive, the VEX 6 cuts weight off the trigger pull and makes it a lot less mushy than the OEM. While the factory trigger is decent, VEX 6 is a nice improvement.
DISCLAIMER
Gen 6 G17 here. Absolutely despised the stock trigger, so I got the VEX 6 competition drop in and Johnny’s striker. To say it is a world of difference is an understatement. Not only is the gun shootable now, but it’s fun to do so. Nice rolling break and trigger pull is about 2.5 pounds. The trigger pull is light, but not scary light, and it’s right on the money for a range gun. Plus, it is nice to know that Johnny does not compromise safety or reliability with his triggers, and the cobalt blue just looks cool! Thanks for the great trigger JG.
I chose the VEX 6 Competitive trigger package with the VEX metal shoe for my G45. I already had a JG striker assembly on hand. I used the 4.5 lb. striker spring, the 5 lb. trigger spring, with a touch of overtravel adjustment. The result was a consistent trigger pull at just under 3 lbs., a slight pause before the rolling break, and a reset straight out of Reset City! Reliable, predictable, safe, and a lot of fun to shoot.
Recently purchased a brand new Glock 45 gen 6. The gun was ok out of the box but I hated the trigger. After researching the various options available for the gen 6 G45 I decided on the Vex 6 defensive trigger system. I wanted to retain all of the Glock safety features Glock is know for with a better reset, more tactical trigger.
Yesterday I finally shot the Glock and now really enjoy shooting the pistol. At the same time I made a few other changes (brass plug, brass backstrap, tungsten uncaptured guide rod) and now the gun no longer feels like a Glock! It feels GREAT!
I purchased the vex6 Defensive trigger with meatal shoe and striker. It's the best trigger I've ever used in a Glock. reset is awesome, it's fast and defined. The only issue I have is I own 12 more Glocks, and it will take me a long time to save up the money to switch all of the triggers out to a Johnny Glock trigger. truly money well spent
These guys are amazing! The trigger is excellent. It’s far better than the stock trigger. I have the defensive package to still have the right amount of poundage on the trigger. I would recommend this option if you intend to edc with it.
