Why Choose Imbertsmithersarms for Your Glock Transfer?

Unlike generic FFL holders, we bring specialized gunsmithing knowledge to every transfer, particularly for Glock platforms. Transferring a Glock 19, Glock 17, or Glock 43 frame to us means you can walk out with a fully customized sidearm in a single visit.

  • Immediate Performance Upgrades: Pair your transfer with a professional Glock trigger upgrade installation. We stock premier aftermarket Glock triggers from brands like Apex, Timney, and Overwatch Precision.
  • Expert Installation: Skip the YouTube tutorials on how to install a Glock trigger. Our certified armorers ensure perfect fitment and function of every Glock trigger bar, connector, and spring.
  • Purpose-Built Solutions: Select the right Glock custom trigger for your needs: a crisp competition trigger for Glock with a defined wall, or a smooth, consistent carry trigger for Glock with enhanced safety. We adjust Glock trigger pull weight to your specification.
  • Complete System Tuning: A true tactical trigger upgrade involves harmonizing components. We don’t just sell a drop-in trigger for Glock; we test and tune the entire fire control system for reliability.
