Before I drop the $150 on a Fulcrum kit I'd kinda like to shoot one. I'll buy the ammo and the range time if you've got one!

Also, any advice or tips if you've had one before... Thanks!

I have the 3.5 ghost trigger with some polish and I like it and its only like 30 bucks keeps the trigger safe enough to carry and light enough to be accurate but its more like 4 or 4.5 trigger pull

I have a 3.5 now that I like. I just like the adjustable features offered by the Fulcrum.

I have tried the Fulcrum and I did not care for it. In my experience, it was a waste of money and I cannot in good conscience recommend it.

After my disappointing experience with the Fulcrum trigger (or maybe I should have said 'with Glockworx in general), I finally bit the bullet and got a Vanek trigger.

The Vanek trigger is much lighter and significantly crisper than any kit I have tried and, if I was on the market for a new Glock trigger kit, I would choose the Vanek again.

I had a fulcrum trigger. I liked it. Not enough better to justify the price. I do like that its a metal trigger. I like the 3.5 link with the spring kit for lots less money. And the 50 cent trigger job treatment. havent tried the Vanenk trigger, but the fulcrum was the best Glock trigger I've shot. Still felt like poo compared to a good 1911 trigger.

I've used the Sotelo Trigger kit, and then figured out the differences compared to a stock trigger. I just do it myself with stock materials now. If this is for competition, rules dictate what you can do. If this is a carry gun, the potential legal ramifications dictate what you can do. The best trigger on a Glock I ever did was a home job using a Lightning Strike trigger, Lightning Strike Ti coated safety plunger, Wolfe competition spring kit, and a polished 3.5 lb OEM disconnector.

Going to the lighter disconnector will soften the trigger break and soften the reset. Going to a Ghost or other aftermarket is even softer. The crispness of the break and the lightness of of the break are a trade-off. Can't keep them both. If you prefer the crispness of the break and reset over really light, a trigger polish and rounding out the safety plunger are the way to go and skip all the fancy trigger kits. This is what I recommend on carry guns. Dedicated competition guns are a different animal.

I have a ghost rocket 3.5 in my G19 and it was a HUGE improvement over the factory trigger. I love it.

No sweat. I've done a dozen or more trigger jobs on Glocks varying from a light polish, kit installs, all the way to home brews of my own. IMO the kits just aren't condusive for carry gun use. Even with the 5 lb connector and OEM springs a good polish and rounding out the plunger is pretty good and just right for a carry piece.

That's because it's still a Glock trigger. As much as I hate to admit it (because I am a Glock fan-boy), the "plastic-fantastic's" trigger will never be as nice as that of a well-tuned 1911.
