Currently have a Glock 17 Gen 3 but with me firing it so much I have a feeling it is under 5 lbs now.

I will be shooting in the production division in IPSC so i need at least 5 lbs.

In my black badge my trigger was measured twice. First time was just a little over five pounds and the second time was just a little under five pounds.

Question is what do I need to get it back to factory?

I think I need Glock 5 lb connector and Glock 5 lb trigger spring.

Anything else?
 
I don't think I'd touch the firing pin spring.

Friction between the trigger bar and connector is a big part of the pull weight. Replace those, or you could try out a ny1 spring. If your connector has been polished down by use, the ny1 may very well bring you right back to 5.5 lbs.
 
You can't change the striker spring or the striker block spring weights and stay in production.

Just put fresh springs in, factory weight. I'd put money on you being over 5. It's probably just your trigger return spring, but there's no reason not to do them all. If you're still too light, use the NY1 trigger return spring as metcalfe said.

When you measure your trigger pull weight, make sure you check it down at the very tip of the trigger. It has to measure greater than 5lbs at every point along the trigger blade.

EDIT: should mention that your BB instructor's scale could be out of calibration. Around these parts, they use a 5lb dead weight to check the trigger pull. Not subject to calibration arguments. You can rig something to do the same at home.
 
thanks everyone!

forgot to mention in my post

first measurement was done at the middle of the trigger. Second was done right at the tip of the trigger (less then five pounds)

hopefully i wont have to just wondering though. Worse comes to worse ill just bring the Girlfriends M&P 9 as a back up
 
get all OEM GLOCK parts, dont risk a technicality over a spring.
glock makes a few diferent parts that are all approved.. ny springs, heavier springs and lighter springs. you can also put in a mag release out of i think the glock 21 which will give you a factory extended mag release (apparently)

this makes me want another glock...

You can put a glock 21 mag release on a 17 and still be legal in production division?

Yes I'll stick with OEM glock

yes because its a factory part. its like putting a cz shadow mag release in a cz 75... still production.

In that case you'll be fine. IF they tech the guns and check your trigger pull the rig they use is a 5 lb dead weight with a rod that comes up and bends 90 degrees and has a plastic roller on it. The weight sits in the curve of the trigger right where your finger would be. So it's working with the leverage of your first test instead of gaining lever advantage of using the tip of the trigger.

NY1 trigger and 3.5 connector.
6 pounds trigger pull...which is only 0.5 pound heavier than the factory set-up, but with more crisp pull and even better reset.

This is what I run on my G17...NY1 spring and Glock OEM (-) connector. I didn't notice a heavier trigger but did end up with a nice crisp trigger & reset.
IIRC both parts cost me ~$45 and I installed it all by myself (& youtube:)) in about 10 mins with no special tools but a 3/32 punch with a screw driver handle I found in the tool box.

If I'm not mistaken, they can check it wherever they like, and it has to pass wherever they check. Ahhh... IPSC... :)
