There are three types of connectors. The 5.5lb one is standard in most Glock pistols, however the G34/G35 use the 3.5lb ones. There is also a third connector at 8lbs, it is an optional piece. They are marked as follows:
3.5lb (-)
5.5lb (no markings)
8lb (+)
New York trigger springs increase the trigger pull as well. The stock coil spring that comes standard in Glock pistols seems okay, but it leaves a bit to be desired. The NY trigger springs come in two weights, the NY1 is olive in color and the NY2 is orange. I believe they are 8 and 12lbs respectively when used with the standard connector.
Basically the NY triggers provide a bit more to the trigger pull, they are however much superior to the coil type springs as they offer a very consistant trigger pull. You can mix them up a bit, I use a 3.5lb connector with a NY1 spring in all my Glocks, it offers a 5-6lb trigger pull and is very crisp and offers the best feeling trigger wise.
Word to the wise, never use an 8lb connector with a NY2 spring, it will render your pistol inoperable.
For parts, try Glock Parts. They ship springs and connectors no problem to Canada and the service is great.
I have never liked the stock connector with the coil spring in my Glocks, the triggers seem creepy and not consistant, when upgraded with a 3.5 connector and the NY1 it is perfect. Try it with the NY2 as well, you might like it. All these parts are relatively cheap, although the 3.5lb connector is a bit pricey I seem to recall. Best bet, order some 3.5lb connectors and both the NY springs and see what you like best.
If you know your way around the Glock internals, it will take about one minute to field strip, break down, replace parts and put it back together. Real simple, the parts are easily installed.
Hope this helps.

Yes, the 3.5lb connector with the coil will lighten the trigger pull but it will still not be very crisp. Add a NY1 to the 3.5 and you will have a similiar factory pull weight but it cleans up the trigger sweet, nice and consistant, easy to pull, no creep and very easy to feel when the shot will go off. It also improves shooting times as far as I am concerned, letting it reset just enough to pull the trigger again smooths out everything nicely.
Glocks are great pistols, but I have never been a fan of the triggers from the factory. I have long since settled on putting the 3.5 and NY1 in all the Glocks I own. Love it and would never shoot a Glock with any other combo. Try the NY2 as well, you might like the slightly heaver pull with that, it is all personal to each shooter. Try several combo's until you find something you like.
Give me a PM if you have any questions or concerns.
I like my Glocks! If you can tell.

I think that maybe Glock has taken the OEM 3.5lb connectors out of the market, I had heard rumours of this a little while ago.
I have no experience with the aftermarket ones, I am sure that if you get one from a reliable company it should be no issue.
Last time I had bought 3.5lb connectors was several years ago, so things might have changed since then.

Interesting....I put a Lone Wolf 3.5 connector on my Glock 22, not to necessarily lighten the trigger, but to smooth out the trigger....And that`s exactly what it has done...And this was a recommendation from several "Glocksmiths".....And putting a 3.5lb doesn`t really mean the the trigger pull will lighten to 3.5lb...Usually it will take the stock 5.5lb pull down to about 4.5lb (Which is what happened to mine)....

Is glockparts in USA? If they are, then it's no go. Tried a few USA companies and got the same reply, "NO FIREARM PARTS WHATSOEVER CAN BE SHIPPED TO CANADA".
Thanks though, I'll check it out.
i have no experience but sounds like 2nd poster does
Glock does NOT have a 3.5lb connector. The lowest is 4.5lb OEM on the G34. Brownells will not ship to Canada, any connectors,but go figure they will ship springs.
If you want a Lonewolf drop in trigger already done up, with an alluminum trigger, trigger stop (set screw adjustable) 3.5 connector and 6lb striker spring, i got mine from Keenan at
