Glock Binary Trigger Slide - SHOT Show Range Day was buzzing about the microphone thrown by Franklin Armory. They introduced the Glock dual trigger. Yes, you read that right. The pull/release trigger is designed for use with the Glock. We took a closer look at the show floor and shot it in the sun.
When Franklin Armory came out with a dual trigger, it was always a dream to have one for the Glock. Until now, this seemed impossible. The engineers at Franklin Armory did just that. Life finds a way. The Glock double trigger is called the G-S173.
Glock Binary Trigger Slide
Franklin Armory will make its own Glock dual trigger for the Glock 17, but it won't be an easy transition. To have a Glock dual trigger, they did some magic with the slide to work the trigger. So if you buy a Glock binary, it will come with a slide and trigger. You must provide your own barrel, frame and recoil spring.

You can see that the Glock dual slide is not the same as the regular Glock 17 OEM slide. There are cutouts in the slides to adjust the magic.
Like other double triggers, the Glock double trigger will have a selector switch. The rotary selector switch is on the left side of the slide. Flip it up for a single shot. Turn it down to drag/drop dual mode.
Franklin Armory had two prototypes on hand. Below is a nice looking prototype with the optics cut out.
Below is a prototype. Not sure if they'll give the optics a cut, they're still deciding. I hope they do. They also explore options with cut slides.

I also shot it at Range Day. I noticed that the products are a little different than what I'm used to. But it works. I also filmed slow motion of the trigger to see how it behaves when used in dual mode. There are some interesting things I learned about this trigger from high speed.
If you look closely at the slow-moving leg, you can see that it retracts the trigger in two steps. It advances to the halfway point and the player is freed to shoot the next part. Then when the slide finishes repeating, it pushes the trigger forward to its final position while continuing to pull the trigger back again for the next shot.
Franklin Armory plans to sell the Glock binary G-S173 for $899. While some may be shocked by the sticker, keep in mind that the regular dual trigger is $300 and the HK dual trigger is $700. That makes the slide just an extra $199. You still need to provide your own barrel and recoil spring. They are planning a Q2 release date.
