Glock 3.5LB trigger connector

[El Caballo Loco]

Did you do the work yourself? Maybe if I ever make it up there might have to get in contact with ya . Thanks for the offer!

Yup, did it myself. It's easy enough that I kept all the factory parts and could probably change it back in 5 minutes or so.

Might have to look into this

A 3.5lb trigger is not more dangerous? What about under a high stress situation when people flinch or squeeze too hard.

Theres probably a reason they arent issued nationwide.

And who the hell said anything about breathing on them or stupid shit like that?

Im at the range twice a week...Im not your typical once a year shooter and I have used plenty of light triggers.

I wasnt even addressing you so you can keep your smartass comments to yourself

I have the 3.5 connector in my Glock 23 - and I have completed hundreds of holster draws and shooting under stress and never had any issues. If you are properly trained to keep your damn finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you are prepared to shoot...then you should not have a problem. Think about the guys (even me on occassion) who carry a 1911. Those triggers have a significantly shorter travel than Glock and there are plenty of us using those for CC. It all comes down to propert training and discipline. The lighter trigger only makes you more prone to accidents if you are wreckless.

I too have had a 3.5 Lb connector in my Glocks for years now, along with the Wolff Trigger Group Competition Spring Kit (4lb. reduced power striker spring, reduced power safety block spring, and extra power trigger spring) and have never had any problems, but boy are my triggers better than standard Glocks. People who handle them can't believe how much better they are.

As for having the gun go off due to people "squeezing too hard under high stress situations" I gotta say that's just poor training. Your finger should NEVER be on the trigger till you're on target, sure of your target, and ready to fire.

Picked up a G36 that had the NY1 trigger, I didn't hate it but I shot it a little low when double tapping or shooting fast.

Installed a Glock 3.5lb connector last night and it feels a lot better that just the NY1 by itself. Cant wait to put some lead down range this weekend!

I had an NY1 connector (consistent 8# break) in my glock 17 when I bought it. About 3 weeks later I threw a ghost ultimate 3.5 connector in it (didnt touch any springs), and it now breaks at 3.5-4 pounds all day long. Completely changed the feel of the gun. I've never carried it on a daily basis, but it hasnt given me fits so far, and I doubt it will in the future. The lightened pull does take some getting used to, but I got used to it after 150-200 draw strokes.

In terms of the lighter connector being "unsafe for carry", I'ts the user that makes the gun unsafe, not the parts in it. If you have a negligent discharge with a lighter connector, you have to ask yourself, "would those 2 extra pounds from a stock connector have stopped this from happening?". Frankly, if you have your finger on the trigger before you have the gun on target, it's on you the operator, not the weapon.

Its like if I was to go from driving a geo metro to a new zr1 vette. Can it be dangerous if im reckless? yes. Is it dangerous if I use it in a safe, sensible manner? no.

+1 to 3.5# and NY1 spring. I do this to ALL of my Glocks.

+1 to 3.5#

I agree, Have never really been a "Glock Guy" before. I picked up a 17 in a trade a few months ago, liked it and it shot well. I didnt realize it had a 3.5#, so I bought one to install and just kept it. Last week I bought a 19 and put the 3.5 in it, takes like three minutes... I love it, shoots great.
So my feelings are, I just couldnt get on the factory Glock trigger, but the 3.5, which is closer to a 4.0-4.5 with alot better reset also. Is sweet IMHO

If you guys like what you've done so far, try a fulcrum set up. I felt dirty spending so much on a Glock, but MAN. I put it on my hunting 10mm and not quite as good as a 3 pound 1911 trigger, but still the best Glock trigger I've ever felt. And now the trigger is aluminum.

Ahem....1911's?

A 3.5 lb is considered standard for most upper end 1911s for what has been considered the best defensive handgun for the past 100+ years...
