What do you glock shooters recommend for lightening the trigger? I've seen good and bad reviews for the Scherer and glockworx 3.5 and 2 connectors

Some others have recommended combining a 3.5# connector with an NY1 trigger spring for a better reset
 
A couple of weeks ago I shot a buddy's Glock that had received a trigger job courtesy of some brand of disconnector and I believe some spring work. The new feel was divinely light. I don't do badly shooting Glocks but with this superb trigger my group for two mags was noticably tighter than I shoot all but a select few guns of my own.

My only concern would be that since Glocks don't really have a safety one would need to be careful that the trigger doesn't rub against a holster or on anything else. The trigger being so light means that it wouldn't take a lot of fouling from a poor fitting holster or a loose shirt tail around the holster to manage to pull a "Plaxico" on one's self.

You are exactly right. There are lots of guys that want to lighten the trigger on Glocks so they go to the 3.5# connector and lighter springs. While it does create a lighter trigger pull it also makes the gun more subject to ND's or if you prefer, the more colorful term above "Plaxico" (I like that one!). One must also realize that the lighter springs also may affect the reliability of the gun as far as striker hit strength. I have seen numerous chaps change out their Glocks only to have an increased number of FTF's due to light primer strikes.
(now there is a series of combinations that work well but do not add lighter everything when making the change)
Personally, I prefer a reliable trigger and knowing that it will go bang when its supposed to.

The one that I shot that was tuned has been through at least 500 rounds of reloads and factory ammo up to now by the owner without a single failure at all. The fellow that tuned it knows his stuff from lots of years of doing these things. In fact he's my "Go To Guy" for knowledge on 1911 trigger jobs because I'm having a good time learning to do my own smithing. So his job on the Glock is going to walk the fine line between easy pull and reliability on the side of being more reliable. Which makes it all the more amazing that the trigger is so nice.

Oh, almost forgot. It's tuned to be legal for IPSC Production so I guess that means the trigger pull is just over 5 lbs. That might make a difference on the ignition reliability as well.
