Ordered those parts before I even had the gun in my hand, as that seems to be a common/popular set us.

2 things I noticed after installing the parts;

1) It doesn't make the trigger any lighter! just more same consistent throughout - so eliminates that long take up pull. but in the end the pull is probably heavier.

2) Glock is VERY simple to take apart and is made of very few parts. I can't belive I paid that kind of money for it - it probbaly cost them $100 to make it!! :eek: :p
 
Uhh yes... I have shyed away from the internal aftermarket bits. General concensus from those I choose to follow is they decrease reliability while marginally improving performance. If you aren't into the shooting sports why bother?

Totally. You can take them apart without any instructions and put them back together. It's like LEGO!

Decreasing trigger pull decreases the power of the striker. Hitting the primer with a lighter strike...

Only if you reduce weight of the striker spring (on the Glock)... Anything you do to the connector, and the trigger spring doesn't affect how far the striker is pulled back (because that's by mechanical design), or how much force it hits with (property of the striker spring).
 
^ Yeah that's what I was thinking. That's how it works on hammer guns where replacing the mainspring directly effects the striking power of a hammer. Glocks work differently.

For IPSC Production the gun has to be stock IIRC but I guess factory parts are permitted. I think longslide models (g35, 36) come with a 3.5 connector. 3.5 connctor alone will give you a lighter pull. NY1 spring is heavier than regular one, NY2 I heard is even more so. So it wouldn't help you.

People get the lighter 3.5 connector and the heavier spring to balance things out and eliminate the spongy feel.
 
Glock 34 and 35 aren't allowed in IPSC Production; they're too long.

A heavier spring reduces trigger pull. If you look at the mechanism, the trigger spring pulls the assembly back, not push it forward. NY2 + 3.5 would be a really light pull.
 
I was under impression that NY1 and NY2 were the springs that are used in Glocks by police departments such as NYPD which require heavier trigger pull. Is that false?

Also from what I heard NY2 spring would make the trigger heavier than NY1. anyone tried both?
 
Ah, you're right, it's different with the NYx spring, because it's not the same kind of spring as the stock one. With the stock type, a heavier one will reduce trigger pull.
 
I did a lot of research on the Glock Trigger mechanism and then upgraded mine to give me a nice light pull, eliminate over travel and shorten the trigger reset.

For over travel/reset use an Ultimate Trigger stop. For a lighter trigger, you can use various methods. Lighter firing pin spring, 3.5 connector and competition trigger spring is as light as you are going to get. Check out the following link for a comparison chart.
