If you just want a lighter pull, then a new connector is all you need. However, if you want less creep, minimal reset on top of it, check out a triger from Glockworx. http://www.glockworx.com/
They are more expensive, but they drop right in.
OK let's assume money is no object (it is, but for now lets assume it's not). I want a shorter, lighter, faster trigger with a shorter reset. In short, I want the best possible trigger pull. How do I get there?
A 3.5 connecter and an 8 pound spring together give you a really crisp trigger, but keeps it from being too light for those concerned with too light of a trigger on the Glock.
Oh and for the record I don't really speak Glockanese. Please explain this stuff like you are talking to a twelve year old or I won't understand you. :embarassed:
My next purchase for upgrades is ironically what you are looking into.
I plan on getting the 3.5 lbs Ghost Connector Bar and the Glock "NY" trigger spring (No. 1 of two). The connector bar (if I jack this up SOMEONE will correct me...) makes the length of pull before the "break" shorter and with less resistance (trigger pull-weight). The Spring gives the same pull a more consistent feel that also ADDS resistance. The combined effect is a slightly lighter trigger pull-weight with more consistent resistance and a crisper "break" feel.
I've heard that it mimics the feel of a revolver from some and it sorta-kinda-not-really mimics the 1911 trigger from others. For the prices on Brownell's (around $15.00 for the 2 items) you can afford to try it out and remove it if you don't like it.
I also recommend the $0.25 Trigger Job. You can find the instructions for this on YouTube. It's a worthwhile endeavor that vastly improves the trigger's feel and the sharpness of the break.
Because it goes bang every time I pull the trigger, I'm not messing with it. It's "combat effective" already. If I wanted a top-of-the-line, match-grade target handgun with that perfect trigger, I wouldn't be using a Glock.
Timmy I have to ask, are these guns that you carry for self defense? If so, I will only offer my opinion, shared by several highly respected firearms trainers. I do not modify the triggers on my carry guns. i especially will not make the pull lighter. i feel this way because I wouldn't want some lawyer to argue that I shot his poor client, who was just turning his life around from a life of crime to a respectable citizen with a gun that was modified to make it easier to shoot someone with.
just my opinion but, I'm not alone in it. And it's something to think about.
TN Mike, didnt you have a encounter that the lighter trigger may not have been a good idea? Or did you have the 3.5lb trigger on it at the time? I remember when you had that close call. If its just for shooting matches, then a lighter trigger does seem like a good idea.
I have tried the 3.5 connector and the 8lb NY trigger. I liked it at first but I have come back to the standard stock Glock connector and trigger. That's just me but I am comfortable with my decision. Just short re-setting the trigger after each shot makes a nice crisp stock trigger.
Leave it stock and learn to shoot it as such. Competition can be good training - I would not recommend one configuration for competition and another for carry. Keep the feel the same.
I prefer the factory Glock 3.5# connector and the standard coil trigger spring.
