Strike Industries GAWPS Enhanced Pin Kit w/ Anti-Walk Locking Block Pin for Glock

The Strike Industries GAWPS Enhanced Pin Kit is a drop-in pin upgrade engineered to address one of the most common complaints about the Glock platform: trigger pin and locking block pin walk. The kit replaces the factory trigger pin, locking block pin, and trigger housing pin with a stronger, more precisely toleranced set, and is compatible with Glock models 17 through 39 (excluding the G36, G42, and G43), so it covers virtually the entire standard-frame and compact-frame Glock lineup from the G17 duty pistol through the G39.

Construction is mixed by design. The trigger and locking block pins are carbon steel with a black nitride finish, which gives them high tensile strength and a low-friction wear surface, while the trigger housing pin is anodized aluminum to keep overall weight down and to prevent the harder metal from deforming the softer polymer of the Glock frame at the housing lug. The pins carry a low-key black hardcoat anodized appearance that blends seamlessly with a factory or blacked-out Glock slide and frame.

The centerpiece of the kit is the anti-walk locking block pin. Its head is shaped to overlap and engage the trigger pin on both sides, locking both pins in the fore-aft direction so they cannot drift out under hard recoil, heavy trigger manipulation, or repeated dry-fire practice - the exact failure mode that has plagued factory Glock frames since the platform's introduction. Pair that with the included supported pin punch head on the locking block pin, which is shaped to engage the pin straight-on and let you drive it out squarely with a standard punch without cocking or bending it, and what was once an armorer-only job becomes a ten-minute, kitchen-table upgrade.

A full install requires only a punch and a small hammer: drop the factory pins in the usual order, swap in the GAWPS pins, reinstall the trigger group and slide, and run a function check. No permanent frame modification is required and the pistol disassembles back to factory configuration. For duty guns, range guns, USPSA Glocks, or any EDC pistol where trigger feel and lockup consistency matter, the Strike Industries GAWPS Enhanced Pin Kit is a small, inexpensive, and reversible improvement.
