What modified setups are worth trying?
My g19 has smooth-face G17 trigger with stock spring/connector, polished internals with Flitz I've tried the 3.5 connector, which did not have as clean a break for me and the NY1/3.5 setup, which I am thinking of trying again. |

If it's a carry pistol i would leave it stock (std. Glock connector and trigger spring). If the 3.5# connector is too mushy I think you'll find the NY1/3.5 combo you're talking about will behave just as mushy although a bit heavier. I've tried most combos and aftermarket parts and have concluded the stock setup to be the best if polished properly. Sometimes I'll have one that just isn't right at which point i will just swap out parts such as the the trigger assy, conector or trigger spring. Keep in mind these are stamped parts with very loose tolerances. |

All my Glocks have NY1 springs with the stock 5.5 connector.
I like 'em better that way. NY1 spring's not gonna break. Reset is very crisp and more defined. I've never cared if the trigger itself is smooth or serrated. My G17 is smooth, my G23 is serrated, no problem with either. |

All you need is a 3.5# connector and a Competition Trigger Spring for a lighter and crisper trigger. Much of the 'slack' (pre-travel and over travel) will be eliminated and you'll love your new trigger. Best of all is that its both cheap (under $20) and so easy you can do it yourself. 3.5# Connector: I've tried Glock, Scherer, and Lone Wolf 3.5# connectors in my Glocks and Lone Wolf's is the best hands down because it gives you the best 'break' with less takeup and over travel. You can get it from Glockparts.com for $13 HERE. Comp Trigger Spring: The Comp Trigger Spring is a higher weight spring (6lbs vs 5lbs) and because the spring works with you pulling the trigger, not against you, the higher spring weight gives you a lighter and crisper pull. Glockparts.com has them for $5 LINK. While you’re at it, give your Glock a 25¢ trigger job by following the instructions HERE. Its really quite simple to do and you’ll be pleased with the results. For instructions on replacing your connector and trigger spring, as well as disassembling your Glock, check out Glockparts Disassembly Page. Just click "Disassembly" on the left of his home page. They give instructions with photos to help you do it. Glocks are simple to work on so give it a try. |

I see a few guys go back to factory, why?
What were the effects of the combinations? I want to get the #.35 connector soon and do the $0.25 polish but I do like how she is now, just a hard pull for the break, which is fine because I know where to hold and where the reset sits... Also any reliability issues with the #3.5? Don't mean to threadjack but also don't want to clutter up the site. Thanks in advance. |

Not too heavy to affect accuracy, and not too light to be questionable for a combat/carry weapon. FBI, Police, Military - stock Glock 5.5 triggers. The factory 3.5 is reliable, I can't speak for aftermarket because I refuse to use them. |
