Glock triggers

[mursenary4]

Hey NES, hoping you can help me out. Took my glock 22 gen2 with a buddy to the range and shot his g17 gen3 while he shot the g22. The triggers could not have been more different. His 17 g3 had shorter, smother travel, with a snappier break. It was like driving a Porsche to my glocks 18 wheeler.My friend also confirmed this. What are the differences between the triggers? Is there one at all? Has anyone used an aftermarket trigger kit that they would recommend? Thanks in advance!

First, check to see if you have a NY trigger, either 1 or 2. If you have a olive or orange plastic piece instead of just a spring that's your problem. Just a $2 spring will fix your problem. Easy to swap the NY trigger for the factory spring. Their are aftermarket kits, but I would check that first.

there is also Ghost triggers for glocks and rugers that can improve your trigger significantly.
those are fairly inexpensive around 25-30 bucks i believe and offer miles of improvement according to gun community.
i myself planning on swapping for ghost on my g17 and sr9 one day when ammo cost are back to normal and i can afford to go out and shoot again.

I swapped my connector in my glock 17, for the factory "minus" connector. Makes a world of difference. It also was about a $25 part and took about 5 minutes to install. It's easy enough and cheap enough that if you don't like the changes, just swap it back to stock.

thanks everyone! ill check to see if i have the NY trigger then ill report back

A Ghost 3.5 lb trigger connector made a huge difference for me on my G21.

This, gun probably has shit parts in it or a golden screwdriver type put a different spring or connector in there.

This WRT a G27. I also swaped the serrated trigger for a smooth one. Doesn't make my finger raw when it kicks like the serrated trigger would.

My G22 says FXD 5lb. on the side of the box... I could make it 3.5lb.??

 

[mursenary4]

i took the whole trigger assembly apart for the first time from my old police trade in and god was it filthy! i cleaned it up and that alone made it smoother. It has a factory spring (not a NY), but im still gonna replace it. Probably go with the ghost inc ultimate for $20ish. I really want less travel before the break, as well as a smoother and lighter pull. Im guessing the 3.5lb trigger will make it lighter but will it help with all the pretravel??

These make a huge difference no matter which trigger or connector you are using. I own 5 Glocks, they all have one of these in them.

Really? That's awesome. Reps for the link.

Rep tease!!!

Although the weight difference between the titanium plunger and steel Glock plunger is substantial, I don't think that is the real secret as to why this piece works. The lighter spring pressure required for the titanium plunger also helps, but I think that the modified profile is the biggest reason. The Glock plunger is shaped more like this Ll and the lightning strike is more like this U. It just provides much better geometry for the lift ramp to overcome. Which rolls easier, a block or a ball?

The full kit, with a ghost bar and my Sr9c is the balls. They both make similar glock parts.

It's both, the factory piece is almost 3 grams, the Ti piece is 1.5 grams with a nice rounded finish. The spring decreases the resistance to lift it.

I usually do the lightning strike plunger/spring FIRST before messing with the trigger bar, sometimes it's enough by itself.

Exactly. I always start there myself.
My G-17 is strictly a GSSF gun and has a (-) connector the other 4 (19, 21, 26, 30) have std connectors, but they are polished like a mirror. I also swapped out the 19 and 26 triggers out for 17s and the 30 for a 21. That doesn't make any difference in the trigger pull obviously, I just like the feel of the full size triggers better.

I would simply recommend replacing your trigger group components with brand new OEM components as found in the Gen4. It's not expensive and the stock trigger on the Gen4 is good as Glocks go. From there you can mess with things like the minus connector and NY trigger spring. I've got the plus, minus, and dot connectors, as well as the NY spring and stock spring, and have tried it with every combination. I found that the combinations that give the nicest trigger pull also have the side effect of mushier reset. After trying a lot of combinations for a while, I've arrived back at using the stock Gen4 setup in my G19 Gen4 carry gun.

If the objective is fun at the range, these trigger modifications can make the pull much smoother and lighter. Zev Tech Fulcrum is my favorite. If this is also your CCW, I would take a look at the article from the Armed Citizens Network.

I'm using a ghost ranger 4.5 and a 6# trigger spring in my g19 (with polishing). Happy with that combo.

 

[mursenary4]

just an update. i polished the whole trigger system and, although better, still isn't the way i want it. I just bought a ghost inc ultimate trigger and some lone wolf springs. will update with range report after install

 

[Sinitron]

Just try the trigger bar before you fiddle w/ the springs. polishing the contact joint helps alot.

Get a Glockworx (Zev) trigger system, it's amazing!

[atilla]

changing just the connector will make a world of difference, it's easy and cheap, start with that.

Yup, They're amazing all right, amazing that no one has been hurt (that we know of) by one...yet

This may sound like a ridiculous question, but is there a visual cue to determine difference between the standard connector and the 3.5?

There's a "-" stamped on it.

After using all different combos my favorite is a Ghost 3.5lb connector and the wolff trigger spring. Cheap and easy with a good pull and reset.
