glock binary trigger shot show

Glock Binary Trigger Shot Show - SHOT Show Range Day was all the buzz around the microphone dropped by Franklin Armory. They discovered the Glock's binary trigger. Yes, you read that right. The trigger pull/release was made for use with the Glock. We took a closer look at the exhibition space and captured it on shooting range day.

When Franklin Armory came out with their binary trigger it was always a dream to have one for a Glock. Until now it seemed unlikely. Well, the engineers at Franklin Armory did just that. Life finds a way. Glock's binary trigger is called the G-S173.

Franklin Armory will be making a Glock binary trigger for the Glock 17, but it won't be a simple trigger swap. To have a Glock binary trigger, they did some magic with the slide to work the trigger. So when you buy a binary Glock, you get it with a slide and trigger. You must provide your own barrel, frame and recoil spring.

You can see that the Glock binary is not the same as the Glock 17 OEM stock image. The slide is notched to accommodate the mag.

Like their other binary triggers, Glock's binary triggers will have a switch. This is the rotary switch on the left side of the slider. Flip it for one shot. Lower it to extract/release the binary mode.

Franklin Armory had two prototypes on hand. The one below is the nicer looking prototype with the optics cut off at the top.

Below is another prototype. They are not sure if they will offer optical cut or not, they decide anyway. I hope so. They are also exploring clipping options.

I also shot it on Range Day. I found the launcher to be a bit different than what I'm used to. But it works. I also shot a slow motion close-up of the trigger to see how it moves when manipulated in binary mode. I learned some interesting things about this high speed trigger.

If you watch the slow motions carefully, you can see that the trigger resets in two stages when it is released. He moves forward about halfway and the striker is freed to shoot for the next round. Then, when the slide finishes recoiling, the trigger moves forward to its final position, where you pull the trigger again for the next shot.

Franklin Armory plans to sell the Glock G-S173 binary for $899. While some may have sticker shock, remember that the regular binary launcher is around $300 and the HK binary launcher is $700. That makes the recording just another $199. Custom barrels and recoil springs still need to be supplied. They are planning a Q2 release date.
