Polishing Glock Internals - I had a 17 gen 4 for several months. I found some videos, on youtube, that suggest polishing some internals. I think some videos have called this DIY trigger work. It looks like the recommended nail polish is the Flitz brand.
Not sure if it's worth it or not or if there's something I should be aware of. I thought I'd ask you all for some feedback before I do anything.

Polished All The Internal Parts. What Do Y'all Think?
The "25 cent trigger job" as we call it is worth doing in my opinion. The trigger will feel smoother right away, but don't wait any longer. You can get the same effect by firing a weapon for a while, though I dare not guess how long. Why? Because I put a 25 cent trigger job on every new one myself, right away.
Flitz will work, as will Happich Simichrome. You can even get away with car cleaning polish. There aren't many other tricks for practicing self-control. The mirror finish is absolutely possible, but I usually stop when I get something nice and shiny. Remember, you are polishing the nickel plating that is applied to the copper plating, over the steel of the part. Do not exaggerate.
I use a rotary tool (like a Dremel) with the felt plumb, with a little polish applied to the plumb. Remember, the goal is to polish the parts, not remove any material.
I don't know if it was caused by my polishing or not, but I started to notice a little bit of what looks like a coating on the end of the trigger bar inside the bird's beak. I put a few hundred rounds into this G23 G3. I'm also starting to feel like it's doubling the range twice. Anyway, I replaced the trigger bar. That worries me. This is my EDC and I haven't polished the new trigger bar yet.

I followed Chris' advice and am happy with the results. Just don't go too far. The goal is to make the pieces slide without bumping or snagging. Don't overdo the oil part either. s does not like a lot of oil.

I think the normal user will also accomplish the same thing at a very high round count.
Folding is serious business. The contact between the raised part of the rear of the trigger bar, often called "cruciform" because it looks like a cross, comes into contact with the striker's nose and performs the locking function. Proper trigger bar and firing pin engagement is critical to safety, which means ensuring that a single pull of the trigger produces a single shot.
If you rub crosswise, it increases the possibility of bending because it reduces the desired friction. If you polish the attacker's own nose, I think you increase the odds a bit more. And if you stone or cruciform sand with the idea that you can produce a "dry" break of the trigger, the chances increase even more that the weapon will double.

Not saying you did it Hays, just wanted to point out a potential problem here so the OP can avoid glossing over this part.
There are some videos that recommend the stone firing pin. This might not be a good idea.

In this photo, you can see that the Connector sticks out in one corner of the Box's Trigger Mechanism (sort of a triangle-shaped plastic thing).

It should be at an angle, forming a gap, so resist the urge to "fix" it by bending it to a nice 90° angle. If you do, the Trigger will not reset correctly. How do I know this? Because I made that mistake.

Some people post articles that offer advanced techniques, entering the realm of actual experimentation. While I don't doubt that some progress or improvements can be made by working on the Striker's cruciform and nose, it will likely come at the cost of a box of ruined parts and questionable (or unsafe) functions. Personally, I don't bother with these parts because I don't like messing with parts and I like safe weapons.
A drop of oil on the connector will do the same thing and you don't need to rub anything. And no, it won't get your G stuck.

The point where the connector and trigger bar slide together is the recommended lubrication point. Hopefully polishing will make it slide more smoothly. I treat mine with frog lube regularly. Remove connector from plastic trigger mechanism housing before heating. I won't admit how I know how to do this!

I also use FrogLube, but I only use the sun for warmth. A strip laid out on the deck can get quite hot on a sunny day without risking the polymer.
Simple story, I heated the trigger bar and the mechanical plastic trigger housing is still stuck. That plastic melts and warps! Trigger spring does not fit in groove! If you can buy parts at the convenience store around the corner, it shouldn't be a problem. Next stop, mail order brownells.

I just put the Ghost Ranger connector on, polished the safety pin a bit and used Frog Lube and all my s are smooth as hell with what I think is a perfect trigger for 4.5lbs.
I haven't visited this site in a while. Coincidentally, I just bought a Gen 3 G19 that I've wanted for a long time. I thought I was waiting for the FTF cash settlement, but I ended up buying a new location.
I did trigger polish which I always do on my new ones or new ones for me. I also replaced the factory connector with an aftermarket connector, as none of the factory connectors were to my liking. I polish everything that was mentioned in this thread. Unless you're really clumsy, it's nearly impossible to get a lot of metal off when buffing the mating surfaces with something really fine like Simichrone, Dremel on the lowest speed, and soft white buffing pad that sticks to the mandrel with a screw.
I rubbed the underwear of dozens of s. Never acted crazy yet. I wouldn't spend my time polishing if I didn't also polish the engagement surface.
