What are your thoughts on these? I have an early Gen 4 with the 5.5 lb connector (not the dot connector). I like the glock trigger but it seems to break hard which sometimes causes shots to go way off.

Should I stick with it and learn to master it as is or would it be wise to look into making it lighter??

If make it lighter is the way to go then what connector/spring combo should I be looking into? Would the spring even need changing or is it just the connector that causes the heavy break?

Any input is welcome,

Thanks
 
I've been having the same thoughts about my G17, gen4. I'm new to handguns, I fire hundreds of rounds with my Ruger 22/45, with consistent hits. I then step up to the Glock and my shots got all over the place, experience is definitely a factor but the trigger feels lousy.

I think its a result of the safety features built into the trigger, which are great, but not for target shooting, not for a novice. I'm going to try Lone Wolf's 3.5lb connector, read a lot of good reviews. I heard guys talking about making their Glocks rock, I'm starting to understand what they mean. Check out the youtube videos on glock upgrades lots of good info. All the best.

Get a Lonewolf drop in trigger. 3.5lb w/ ultimate trigger stop. Use a set screw to adjust travel for reset.

Are you refering to the LW 3.5 connector and ultimate trigger stop to be used with the stock trigger? I see that questar has both but not an actual trigger assembly if thats what you are refering to.
 
you will never get a dao to match or come anywhere close to a sa , dao are duty guns & reflect that in the trigger , but you will find the 3.5 a lot easier to deal with . look for the drop in dry fire gizmo or spend a lot of time @ the range , doing ball & dummy , to master any dao . i'd pick the range , but i'm greedy . good luck

What is this drop in dry fire gizmo you speak of? and ball and dummy? Pardon my ignorance lol
 
Try the Ghost Rocket 3.5lb connector. It limits over travel.

Vanek also do some great drop in triggers.

I just want to reduce how much force is required to make the trigger break because the hard break seems to screw me up a bit. Will this ghost rocket 3.5 lb connector accomplish that without requiring any other parts?? Im not looking for a match grade trigger and realize that a DAO is only gonna get so good!

Should a different then stock trigger spring be used with the ghost connector??
 
Just do a lot of proper dryfire practice. It's hard to convince people that they should leave the trigger alone, but once you figure it out; you will be glad you did. I don't think its worth messing with the Glock trigger unless you are going to go for one of those fully adjustable fulcrum triggers and get it down to 2-2.5lbs for some kind of competition.

The 3.5lb disconnector feels kind of mushy. With the NY1 spring and 3.5lb it just feels weird. The good news is that the parts are cheap (if you buy the stock glock parts) and once you've gone around in a complete circle and take them all out you will appreciate the stock trigger without losing much (if any) money.
 
lol beat me to it with your "mushy" explanation! If thats the case I may just look into a glock OEM "dot" connector which the newer Gen 4's have anyways. From what Ive seen though they are backordered everywhere.

The connector kits comes with a different trigger and firing pin safety stop spring. Have you done the 25 cent trigger job yet, that also helps to smooth up the feel of the first stage pull.

The Haley Skimmer trigger apparently gets rid of most of the first stage pull - that's another drop-in trigger to look at.

Its not the first part of the pull that concerns me, the slack in other words, its once the trigger stops and requires lots of force to make it break free. Im quite fond actually of the first part of the trigger pull but just want it to break easier.

The Ghost Rocket connector will give you about 3.5 lb trigger pull and a nice short reset. Also the tab on the connector acts as a trigger stop, which helps with trigger control.

And no havent tried to mod the trigger at all. Usually I dont like f*cking with things only to have them not work as well as they did at first. I dont trust my tinkering abilities lol

The 25 cent trigger job is a must and will smooth up both your first and second stages. There are plenty of youtube videos on how to do it. All you need is some metal polish. You won't break anything.

The groups on my G17 shrunk by about 2/3rds after I had done the 25 cent trigger job and installed the new connector.

At 25 yards unsupported offhand before I did the work I was lucky to get an 8 inch group which was very underwhelming at 25 yards.

My groups sizes at 25 yds now look like this, which is not brilliant but much more acceptable. The vertical spread is just over 2.5 inches, I'm going to install a finer front sight blade (probably a Truglo fiber tritium, and keep the fixed rear) which will tighten the horizontal spread up. Whatever people say, Glocks weren't designed to be accurate, just reliable. You need to do quite a bit of trigger work to get them to shoot moderately well, that's just the way it is. The best triggers on semi-auto handguns are found on 1911s, and the very best revolver triggers are found on S&W wheelguns.

Is putting this connector in a DIY job? Glock parts says that minor gunsmithing may be required.
