Last updated August 2026 · By Nick Hall, covers Glock aftermarket and tracks the trigger-upgrade market for USA Gun Shop readers
Quick take: CMC Triggers just shipped the first Gen 6-specific drop-in Glock trigger. The 76001-NH is a flat shoe and bar that reuses the factory Gen 6 housing and fits the G17, G19, and G45. MSRP is $150. CMC beats Timney, Overwatch Precision, and the rest of the aftermarket to market by an estimated year.
- What it is: CMC 76001-NH flat-shoe drop-in trigger for the Glock Gen 6 platform. Reuses the factory Gen 6 housing, swaps only the shoe and trigger bar. Built from 8620 alloy with S7 tool-steel components.
- Price: $150.00 MSRP. Direct from CMC Triggers and through the standard CMC dealer network.
- Where: Shipping to dealers nationwide as of May 2026. Compatible with G17 Gen 6, G19 Gen 6, and G45 Gen 6.
- Why it matters: First Gen 6-specific drop-in trigger on the market. Gen 6 has been out since late 2025 and the aftermarket has been silent on it until now.
Most aftermarket Glock parts lag a generation behind the factory release. When the Gen 5 launched in 2017, the major trigger makers took 12 to 18 months to ship Gen 5-specific drop-ins. The Gen 6 launched in late 2025 with revised internals that are incompatible with previous-generation aftermarket triggers. The CMC 76001-NH is the first Gen 6-specific drop-in to hit dealer shelves, which puts CMC roughly a year ahead of the rest of the market. We pulled the spec sheet straight from CMC so you don’t have to.

What Changed in the Gen 6 Trigger Housing
The Gen 6 trigger module is part of Glock’s broader anti-modification engineering push for the new generation. Glock has not published the full internal changes, but the takeaway from teardown coverage is that the Gen 6 trigger housing, connector geometry, and disconnector engagement surfaces are different enough from Gen 5 that older aftermarket trigger kits do not drop in.
That left Gen 6 buyers in 2026 with the factory trigger only. Factory Glock triggers have always been adequate for duty work and inadequate for precision or competition use. The factory pull weight is roughly 5.5 pounds, the break is mushy by competition standards, and the reset is felt rather than crisp. Aftermarket triggers exist to fix all three.
The CMC 76001-NH addresses the geometry difference by retaining the factory Gen 6 housing and swapping only the user-facing parts: the trigger shoe and the trigger bar. Connector geometry stays factory, which means the engineering work was contained to the shoe and bar manufacturing rather than redesigning the entire trigger group around Gen 6’s revised housing.
What’s Actually in the 76001-NH
The trigger shoe is a flat-faced design machined from 8620 alloy steel. The trigger bar is S7 tool steel, which is the same material CMC has used on previous-generation drop-in triggers and has held up to long round counts in duty and competition use. Both components are finished to drop straight into the factory Gen 6 housing.
Pull weight is not user-adjustable. CMC publishes a target pull range of 4.5 to 5 pounds, which is roughly half a pound to a full pound lighter than the factory Gen 6 trigger and noticeably crisper at the break. The reset is the CMC signature short positive reset, with audible and tactile feedback. CMC has been refining this same reset geometry across its Glock, AR-15, and 1911 trigger lines for the last decade.
Fitment covers G17 Gen 6, G19 Gen 6, and G45 Gen 6. The G19 is the highest-volume Gen 6 model in the US market and most buyer interest will flow there. The G45 is the Glock duty model for several US LE agencies that have adopted Gen 6. CMC has not yet committed to a Gen 6 G34, G26, or G43X-MOS-Gen 6 timeline, but a follow-on SKU set is the obvious next step.
We’re a way away from the first truly custom Glocks with the Gen 6 models, but if you want a taste of what’s coming then check out our post on custom Glocks of previous generations here.
Where $150 Lands in the Glock Trigger Market
$150 is the standard CMC drop-in price point. The Gen 5-and-earlier CMC drop-in trigger has been $150 for several years. Maintaining the same price for Gen 6 means CMC absorbed whatever marginal manufacturing cost the new tooling required rather than passing it to buyers. That choice is the difference between a $150 drop-in and a $230 drop-in, and it shows CMC is treating this as a market-positioning move rather than a margin opportunity.
Direct competitors at the $150 tier include the Apex Action Enhancement Trigger ($120 plus the bar kit), the Overwatch Precision DAT Polymer Drop-In ($140), and the older Timney Glock drop-in ($170). All of those remain Gen 5-and-earlier compatible. CMC has the Gen 6 slot alone right now, and the $150 price keeps it competitive even when Apex and Overwatch eventually ship Gen 6-specific options.
For buyers who already pre-ordered a Gen 6, the CMC 76001-NH is the obvious first upgrade. The factory Gen 6 trigger is the weakest single point on the gun. A $150 drop-in that reuses the factory housing avoids the engagement-surface complications of full-housing replacements and the warranty risk that comes with them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CMC Glock Gen 6 trigger?
The CMC 76001-NH is a drop-in flat-shoe trigger for the Glock Gen 6 platform, launched in May 2026. It uses the factory Gen 6 trigger housing and replaces only the trigger shoe and trigger bar. The shoe is machined from 8620 alloy steel and the bar is S7 tool steel. MSRP is $150. It fits the G17, G19, and G45 in Gen 6.
Will the CMC 76001-NH fit Gen 5 Glocks?
No. The 76001-NH is specifically machined for the Gen 6 housing, which has a different internal geometry than Gen 5. CMC has separate drop-in trigger SKUs for Gen 5 and earlier, available for the same $150 MSRP.
What is the pull weight of the CMC Gen 6 Glock trigger?
CMC publishes a target pull weight of 4.5 to 5 pounds, roughly half a pound to a full pound lighter than the factory Gen 6 trigger. The pull weight is not user-adjustable. The break is crisper than factory and the reset is the CMC signature short positive reset with audible and tactile feedback.
Why are there so few aftermarket triggers for Gen 6 Glocks?
Gen 6 launched in late 2025 with revised internal geometry that is incompatible with Gen 5-and-earlier aftermarket trigger kits. Most aftermarket makers (Timney, Overwatch Precision, Apex Tactical) have not yet shipped Gen 6-specific options. CMC is the first to market by an estimated 12 months.
Does the CMC trigger void the factory Glock warranty?
Aftermarket trigger installation may void some elements of the Glock factory warranty. Glock's warranty position on user-installed aftermarket parts has been inconsistent over the years and varies by dealer and region. The trigger swap itself is reversible (the factory shoe and bar can be reinstalled) but if a Glock factory service center finds non-OEM parts during a warranty inspection, certain claims may be denied.
Is the CMC 76001-NH compatible with the Gen 6 G19X, G34, or G26?
As of May 2026, the 76001-NH is confirmed compatible with the G17 Gen 6, G19 Gen 6, and G45 Gen 6. CMC has not published a timeline for Gen 6 G34, G26, G19X, or G43X-MOS SKUs but a follow-on lineup is the expected next step.
How does the CMC Gen 6 trigger compare to the factory Gen 6 trigger?
The factory Gen 6 trigger pulls at roughly 5.5 pounds with a mushy break and a soft, felt-only reset. The CMC 76001-NH pulls at 4.5 to 5 pounds with a crisp break and a positive audible reset. Pull weight is half a pound to a pound lighter and break feel is meaningfully cleaner.
Where can I buy the CMC 76001-NH Gen 6 Glock trigger?
Directly from CMC Triggers at cmctriggers.com, and through the standard CMC dealer network including Brownells, Primary Arms, and Palmetto State Armory. Shipping to dealers is in progress as of May 2026.
