There’s some kind of folklore/old wives tale about cats coming in and sucking the soul out of people while they slept and killing them. I think Stephen King alluded to this same concept in Dr. Sleep with the death cat in the hospital.

It was also a plot point in the movie Cat's Eye. The Drew Barrymore segment where the troll is stealing her breath while she sleeps, and the cat attacks the troll

I still think about how Katrina took Pancho's from us.

We do not speak of the abomination that was Pancho's on Airline.

Were they the Gay Men's Chorus who sang that "We're Coming For Your Children" song, then it turned out that half of them were sexual predators?

I got the Walker Razor Slim muffs. Used them for the first time this weekend, and they worked perfectly. I had earplugs in also.

I've only watched the first episode of Breaking Bad, so I can't comment on her throughout the show, but the fact that she only offers him an unenthusiastic handjob on his birthday while she plays on eBay is enough for me to know she's a terrible person.

The same guy explaining how the Timney Trigger works and how if it isn't adjusted correctly it can ND.

This guy on X had an ND and accidentally shot himself because he had the Timney Trigger too dialed in, so the trigger safety wasn't touching the frame.

It may not show up as an embed because the pictures are censored. So here's the link

Finished The Faith of Beasts, the second book in the Captive's War Trilogy, this past weekend. I hope the third book starts ramping up things, because while an interesting read, not a lot happens.

Started on Red Rising last night. I know next to nothing about his series. But it comes highly recommended here and other places. It was a busy weekend, and I was exhausted, so I only got through the first two chapters.

Why not just file the end of fhe trigger shoe down a little?

That's also an option. But I do like the idea that a new show would make the trigger pull more crisp with less travel distance on the reset.

But I'm looking at all options.

I'm not sure if changing the shoe is going to help you. You must have some thick fingers if it's rubbing against the guard and under the trigger

From what I've read, changing the shoe to something like the Johnny Glock should help, as the new shoe reduces the travel of the trigger during reset. Also the geometry of the new shoe is supposed to help with it. How that translates in practice, I don't know. That's why I wanted to see if others have done this.

I would try opening up the inside of the guard with a dremel first.

Not a fan of permanently changing the pistol like that. Plus my dumbass would screw it up somehow.

I would also suggest getting a ghost connector while you're in there. It's very cheap and it's totally worth it.

I want to keep everything else as stock as possible.

Timney

I looked at the Timney shoes too. From what I've seen, people have had problems with the Timney and how adjustable it is. Mainly having to constantly readjust the trigger safety screw as it'll back out enough that the safety is no longer engaging.

Not sure if its common enough to worry about, but its a concern.

Upgrading the trigger shoe on a Glock 43X

Posted by boxcarbarney on 6/7/26 at 9:25 pm

At the range, after about 50 rounds, I’ll start getting a blister on my trigger finger on the side closest to my middle finger.

Doing some dry fire at home, I noticed that my finger is dragging along the trigger guard during reset, and part of it will get pulled under the trigger.

Some googling showed that this is a common issue with the 43X.

I’ve seen suggestions that changing out just the trigger shoe - NOT THE ENTIRE TRIGGER MECHANISM (I put this in all caps because I know a few people will just kind of skim this post and reply with a warning about changing out the entire trigger, which is NOT what I’m looking to do) - will help alleviate this issue.

Has anyone here done this? The most recommended shoe replacement is the Johnny Glock VEX shoe Johnny Glock Website

Anyone have any experience with this?
