When it comes to Glock triggers, everyone has their opinion. I personally don’t hate them, but I am always looking for a better Glock style trigger. When Lone Wolf Arms contacted me about doing some product reviews, my first thought was “try one of their triggers.” That led me to the Lone Wolf Ultimate Adjustable Trigger. I’ve wanted to try this trigger out for some time due to its adjustability.

The Lone Wolf Ultimate Adjustable Trigger is a Glock replacement trigger. It is available for anything except Gen 5’s. I received a black trigger with the trigger bar attached. You can get just the trigger only, if you don’t need another trigger bar. The Ultimate Trigger can also be had in a variety of colors. Because I was looking for a fairly light trigger pull, Lone wolf also sent me some of their other trigger enhancement parts. These included: a connector kit, which includes 3 different 3.5lb connectors and a 6lb trigger spring, their plunger kit, and a lightweight striker kit with a 4lb spring. I installed the trigger and the Lone Wolf 3.5lb target connector.

As you may have figured out from the name, the Ultimate Adjustable Trigger is adjustable. After installing the trigger into your pistol, you can adjust the pre and over travel of the trigger. This is done to eliminate as much pre and over travel as possible, giving you the shortest trigger pull possible. There are 2 tiny set screws in the trigger itself. These set screws do not come installed. I did install them, with some vibra-tight to keep them from coming loose, and also to be able to re-adjust them later, if needed. Probably one of the coolest things, with the Ultimate Adjustable Trigger, is that you can get to these adjustment screws without taking the trigger out. Just take the slide off and you can get to both of them. Lone Wolf has some decent instructions for adjusting the trigger, so I won’t go over them. You can find them HERE if interested. I was really pleased with how much pre-travel I was able to take out of the trigger. My over-travel wasn’t much anyway, so adjusting it only took out a tiny bit.

The Ultimate Adjustable Trigger uses a curved shoe. This curved shoe isn’t just curved, it is also radiused around the face, similar to a factory Glock trigger. The big difference is that the Ultimate Trigger also has a flat between those radiused edges. The Lone Wolf feels better to me. Maybe because it is machined to be smooth? Or, maybe its curve is better shaped? Or maybe its the flat? Either way, it has a really nice feel to it. No, it is not available as a straight trigger option for those who are going to ask. When I went to install the trigger, I also installed a 3.5lb connector. Between the trigger and the connector, the trigger pull weight dropped from 6lb’s to 4.5lb’s. That was with just those 2 parts. The shorter actual pull of the trigger also made it much more pleasant to use.

When using the Polymer 80, that I installed the Ultimate Adjustable Trigger in, it just feels better. The trigger was a great improvement over the stock one. I can shoot faster due to the shorter travel. I’m probably more accurate since I’m not fighting a heavy trigger pull. The other parts I installed from Lone Wolf, like the lightweight striker, also help with making the gun even more reliable. I like what Lone Wolf did with their Ultimate Adjustable Trigger, it just works.

Even though the Lone Wolf Ultimate Adjustable Trigger has been around for a long time, it is definitely worth taking a look at. Especially if you like curved shoe triggers. The adjustments are really what make the trigger so nice. Pair that with a Lone Wolf 3.5lb connector, and you will have a nice Glock style trigger for a reasonable price. If you are in the market for a better Glock trigger, go check out the Ultimate Adjustable Trigger from Lone Wolf Arms.

Vastly improved…..

The feel and function of the trigger shoe is a vast improvement over the OEM. The bar, as received, had two burs at the contact point with the connector. Rough and gritty after install. So a few minutes with ceramic stones and polishing, all is well. Together with the target connector and springs the pull is silky smooth at 3lb 4oz. I did not install the take up and over travel screws. Overall well worth it.

Velocity Precision is known mainly for their triggers. They have introduced some other items lately, One of those is an adjustable gas block for AR15 rifles. If you are looking to tune a suppressed rifle, or just want less strain on your rifle’s parts, an adjustable gas block just might be what you need.

An adjustable gas block can be very useful. By allowing the gas system to be adjusted, one can “tune” the rifle. If you run a low mass bolt carrier group (BCG), adjusting the gas down, will smoothen out the recoil impulse, and not beat the crap out of your equipment. Suppressors are notorious for “over” gassing the recoil system. So tuning the gas block, when running suppressed, is also a big plus. Another advantage to an adjustable gas block is being able to tune your rifle or pistol for the specific ammunition you use. As you can see, there are numerous reasons why someone might want an adjustable gas block.

The Velocity adjustable gas block has many features. It is of the “low profile” design, manufactured from stainless steel, and then black nitride coated. So it should last a lifetime. Velocity also cuts some diamond shapes in the gas block to help lighten it up. The gas block has a 0.750” journal diameter, which is pretty much the industry standard. Though I would like to see a 0.625” one for lightweight builds. The Velocity gas block uses 2 set screws on the bottom to clamp it down tight. Also included is a new gas tube roll pin, which was nice. Since the one that came with the gas tube went flying across my garage. It also comes with the allen wrenches to adjust it.

Adjustment on the gas block is pretty straight forward. On the front of the gas block, is a brass set screw. The brass screw is used as a lock screw, to keep your adjustment from wandering. Loosen it first before making any adjustment on the adjustment screw. The gas adjustment screw is stainless steel, and located on the left side of the gas block. To adjust the gas flow, turn the SS screw clockwise to decrease the amount of gas being sent to the BCG, and turn it counter clockwise to increase the amount of gas to the BCG. Once you have it adjusted where you want it, tighten the brass screw back down. The SS adjustment screw just blocks off flow by making the gas hole smaller, simple as that. If you are switching between suppressed and un-suppressed, the gas block can get annoying to keep adjusting. But, Velocity coats both screws in hi-temp anti-seize for a lifetime of easy adjustability.

I installed the Velocity adjustable gas block on a 7.5” AR pistol build. In my opinion, the shorter the barrel, the harsher the gas system is on the BCG. The barrel I used was not dimpled for a set screw style gas block. So I just lined up the Velocity gas block, and tightened those set screws down. The gas block hasn’t loosened up, or moved, on me yet. I did use some medium strength thread locker on the screws. I opened up the adjustment screw, all the way, at first. The pistol ran fine on an assortment of ammunition. I then proceeded to adjust it in, 1 turn at a time, until it started malfunctioning with the lightest loads that I regularly shoot. Then I backed it out ½ turn and locked it down with the brass screw. I get a much softer recoil impulse now that the gas system is adjusted for the AR pistol. It really did make for a much nicer shooting pistol. The only problem I ran into, was that the allen wrench provided was to short to tighten the lock screw, at least with my chosen handguard. This is not a Velocity Precision problem, it’s a handguard problem. So check your handguard to see if it blocks the adjustment screw.

The Velocity adjustable gas block can be useful. If you need some gas system adjustment, but won’t be adjusting it a lot, this might be exactly what you are looking for. The gas block is well made, fairly light, and won’t break the bank. Go take a look at Velocity Precision, gas blocks aren’t the only thing they make!
