What are these parts in a Glock

I had a Glock 43 that occasionally had a failure to reset the trigger. The fired round would eject a new round would chamber the pistol would return to battery but the rigger would not reset. It would be stuck in a rearmost position. I took it to Glock in Smyrna. The following parts were replaced: Connector, Extra Dep Plunger 9mm Slim Ass, Trigger with Trigger Bar G43 and Trigger Housing with Ejector .380. What are these parts? What do they do? Does this mean the entire firing mechanism has been replaced?
 
Got your manual?

Yeah, that's pretty much the entire firing train.

Trigger pull pushes trigger bar rearward. Part of the trigger bar pushes the striker backwards, until another part pulls the whole rear part of the trigger bar down, releasing the striker.

In the 43, is there a spring that pulls this forward?

Might be taken out of context :cool:

As was said, there are many still pic or videos posted on the internet about the Glock design. For the older guns there are a bunch of combinations of different versions of the parts, to allow for lighter or heavier trigger pulls.

I think that so far Glock only has one set of parts for the G43.

Most important, is whether yours is now 100% reliable. Is it?

It is counterintuitive, but in the Glock, the trigger spring pulls backwards and upwards.

That pulls the trigger bar up so that the striker/firing pin lug catches the reard of the trigger bar. What actually resets the trigger is the striker spring. When the lug catches the trigger bar, the striker spring then pushes the trigger bar forward and resets the trigger.
