I just bought a like new Glock 26 Gen 4. It's had less than 200 rounds through it and it looks brand new. It seemed find when I bought it , but when I got it home, I used a snap cap to dry fire it several times and noticed that the trigger pull seemed odd.
When I first place tension on the trigger, it takes a small amount of pressure... may 3 pounds?.. to get it to move at all. Then, it moves with no resistance about an eighth of an inch while making a "snick" sound. Then, trigger moves with about 3 pounds of pressure another eighth of an inch and stages. It takes significantly more pressure... maybe 6 pounds... to get the trigger to fire.
The snick sound is like the polymer of the trigger is binding on the polymer of the frame somewhere and then suddenly releasing. It's not a metallic snick sound.
Is this normal? It is some sort of safety feature? It's not really a problem per se, but I had an older, well-worn full size Glock 8 years ago and I'm pretty sure it didn't feel like this. As I recall, the older Glock would move effortlessly with almost no trigger finger pressure back to the staging point and then stop moving and get harder to pull, firing with maybe 5 pounds of pressure.
The biggest concern I have is the noise. In a perfectly quiet room, the sound could be heard from over 10 feet away.
If this isn't normal, how do I fix it?
