Yup.Every single problem I have ever had with a glock (17/21/23) has been because I swapped out springs looking to make the Glock trigger "un-glock" like.
If chasing competition mods, check out Vanek drop in triggers. If personal protection, leave it alone....it is after all....Perfection ;-)
I view competition more like training than gaming.
For the past two years my competition rig was set up pretty similar to my carry set up to get more time on the platform and running around under time pressure.
With Gen 5's, I think even a trigger upgrade is unnecessary.
Frankly trying to squeeze every extra bit of performance out of a Glock is going to get you diminishing returns pretty quickly and probably some sort of compensation for lack of skill/preparation. The most riced out Glock, with all the speed-holes and spring-jobs, is still a Glock except it's probably been rendered unsafe with a weird trigger bar geometry or completely unreliable.
Either way you've removed some of the two biggest benefit of running a Glock. It's always fun to sit back and enjoy watching dudes desperately cleaning their mags in between stages and or trying to make their $4000 single-shot-bolt-action 2011 space gun make it through a double of powderpuff hand loads during a qualifier.
If you want to go full gamer, Glock is a strange choice when there are so many other platforms that can be tuned to run way way faster, some right out of the box.
