Just finished my 100th trigger job on a Glock 19

I was cleaning up my bench and counted the notes in my log book, and it hit me. That's a lot of springs and connectors. It matters because I remember the first one took me almost three hours and I was sweating bullets, now I can do it in under forty minutes while talking to a customer. Anyone else have a number that snuck up on them like that?

Honestly I don't get the big deal about speed. Just because you can do it fast while talking doesn't mean it's better work. I mean maybe you're rushing and missing stuff now. That first careful three hour job was probably your best one.

Oh man, I found the opposite! Getting faster just meant I knew the steps better, not that I was sloppy.

Totally get that. I mean when I finally got quick at putting together those tricky flat pack shelves, it wasn't because I was skipping screws. It was because I stopped having to check the manual every two seconds. My hands just knew where everything went. Speed came from not wasting time on the dumb stuff anymore.
