I have a Glock 43, and I got a deal on an Overwatch Precision DAT trigger for it. Trigger arrives in the mail, and except for the flat faced shoe it looks identical to the stock oem trigger bar & stuff.

Except it isn’t.

I installed the new trigger easily in 2-3 minutes. However when I went to put the slide back on I thought maybe I should see how it fits first without the barrel and recoil spring.

Good thing I did, because something is off and the slide gets itself jammed on the frame. I’m thinking the trigger bar hump sits too high up against the bottom of the slide. To my eye the two triggers look identical though (except for the shoes).

Any thoughts? Any Glock armorers in Gwinnett you could recommend who can help?

Thanks ODT friends.
 
Those are supposed to be Glock OEM bars so it should fit perfectly. I'd take a minute and re-check. Sounds like install error.
Maybe it was, although I tried two separate times. It's not like it's hard to do. At any rate, a gunsmith got it working for me today. Don't know what he did back there that I didn't...
