POLYMER DAT TRIGGER KITS Reviews & Ratings

Here's your dilemma: you want to upgrade the trigger in your Glock® to an Overwatch Precision DAT aluminum trigger, but you're on a tight budget. And frankly, you have no problem with the feel of a plastic trigger shoe. The folks at Overwatch have come up with the solution: install their Polymer DAT Trigger. You enjoy many of the key the benefits of their aluminum Defensive Applications Trigger (DAT), with a lower sticker price. As with the aluminum original, the Overwatch Precision crew designed the Polymer DAT Trigger to shorten the pull distance of your Glock's trigger by as much as 20% (depending on frame tolerances), making it an excellent option for shooters with shorter fingers. ALL shooters, regardless of the length of their digits, will appreciate the faster, more positive, clearly-defined pull, followed by a short, positive reset. The broad, flat face of the Polymer DAT Trigger permits a straight, uniquely self-correcting rearward press. Pre-travel has been reduced as much as possible without risking safety, so you revel in a clean, crisp break and almost non-existent overtravel. Most importantly, all of these benefits

DO NOT come at the expense of compromising reliable operation of the factory safeties.

Drop-in ready for Gen1 thru Gen4 Glock® pistols
WILL NOT fit Gen5 or G19X pistols
Solid-body, molded hard-polymer trigger shoe & safety lever
Flat-faced shoe enhances control & leverage
Polished stainless steel OEM Glock®trigger bar installed

Now, you can go ahead and get a quantum leap in the quality of your Glock's trigger pull - without putting a dent in the debit card balance that gets you in the doghouse with your Significant Other!

Great reset and smooth

I installed this trigger in a G17 and a G19. Very smooth pull with a shorter reset than the factory triggers. I would definitely recommend this trigger and I plan on buying more for a couple 80% builds I’m doing.

Budget polymer trigger

This was my first ever trigger upgrade I made to my first Glock build. It’s durable for a polymer trigger and super high quality. It reduces trigger pull and makes shooting Glock more enjoyable every time you’re at the range. You can drop this in and see instant performance improvements.

Great upgrade

Im used to a Glock Gen 2 with a serrated trigger shoe in duty carry. In 40 S&W it is brutal on the trigger finger. I installed the DAT and the difference is between night and day. The smooth trigger is a pleasure to shoot. The break is clean. I dont need an expensive new trigger when this is perfect. This is my third DAT.

Polymer DAT Trigger Kit

Easy install and MUCH better feel for the trigger pull on the upgraded G26 I am building. A quality part without the "quality part price".

Never tried a flat trigger before!

I'm doing a G21 build and already have an OEM G21 trigger for it; not sure what made me try this Overwatch DAT 45/10, I was just browsing the site, ran across the reviews here and figured, "why not?" FF a couple of days. I plunked the DAT into my stock OEM G21 Gen 3, and after a few dry-fires, put the pistol down and immediately ordered a second one. I really did feel bad that I'd have to take this DAT out of the OEM G21 and put the original trigger back in. One thing of note: Overwatch uses a stock G21 trigger bar on these so you're going to get the standard Glock stamped part, married to the fabulous DAT trigger. That meant, for me, hauling out the 320 grit stone and the 4000 grit polishing stone to carefully correct the pitted and rough firing pin safety ramp. Once that was done, the gritty uneven creep was gone, and the crisp, DAT trigger performance remained. What this can do for your trigger press is even better than the performance in the overtravel. If you have a tendency to press the trigger slightly left during the firing stroke, this trigger will help immensely in correcting that. I wish I'd known about these the minute they came out. I want one for my G-19 too.

Great flat trigger

I prefer a flat trigger, especially over the curved Glock OEM trigger. I installed this on my Glock 43. It is great trigger and the trigger bar has all smooth polished surfaces. Easy install and trigger breaks clean. This is a great alternative to the $100+ machined aluminum trigger upgrades at about half the price, your trigger finger will never know the difference and you can save your money for ammo.

Blew my mind

I didn't want to drop a super expensive trigger into my old beater Glock 17 gen 4, so I decided to try this out. Not only did it feel quality in my hands, but the break was as good if not better than my broken in VP9 trigger. This made me enjoy my G17 like it was brand new and unless it was just my mind made my groups very tight.

Buy this Trigger if You are on the Fence

This Defense Application Trigger is a rewarding Upgrade. I use the DAT as such as a home defense trigger in my Glock. I have an Overwatch Precision Falx, this Overwatch Precision DAT and a Steel City Arsenal. This trigger has been the Best Bang for My Bucks. Polymer DAT is Worthy to Protect My Family.

Great Value for a Quality Trigger Kit

This is the fourth OverWatch Precision Poly DAT Trigger Kit I have purchased, installed and used on several Glocks. The DAT Kit far exceeds the stock trigger in take up, reset and break. The DAT trigger also eliminates the stock trigger bite. Add that to uncompromised safety and you have a quality trigger kit at an economical price.
