Hi all, I picked up the ghost rocket connector kit and have been filing the little tab to get it to fit or work properly but it
still doesn't let the trigger release. I am about to bust out a dremel on it but don't want to take too much off.  Anyone ever use one of these and have issues? I am just wondering how much you actually have to file off? Thanks in advance.

How much material have you removed? It can vary, but you shouldn't have to take off too much. You dont need a dremel, just a file. I would pay particular attention to making sure you're filing it square and not on an angle. Take off about .010- .015 each pass and test it each time. You should get it within at least a few tries. Dont get frustrated and remove too much or you'll defeat the purpose of the tab.

I used a dremel on all 3 of my Ghost connectors.  I started with a file and ended up having to remove a lot more material than I thought I would, so I switched to the dremel.  They even use a dremel in the how-to section of the Ghost website.

I had one installed on a G22 and had to file down the tab to ~.050".



In the end I uninstalled it as I just did not care for the feel of the trigger with that disconnector installed.

Thanks for the replies, I am not positive how much I have filed off so far. I will double check it is square later on when I get off work. My eyes aren'tall that great so it could be at an angle lol.

I had the same issue fitting a friends Rocket the other day.  It turned out, the bend angle of the connector was off.  If it is bent too far in, it won't want to reset.  

It takes 5 seconds to fix.  See the installation guide on Ghost's website for instructions on setting the bend angle:

Sweet, thanks for the info, when I get to the house I will take a look at the bending.

I believe the connector is supposed to stand off @ 7*.  Mr. Ghost hisself installed a Ghost Rocket in my old G17.  He used a dremel.  I didn't like the mushy let-off of the Rocket, so he suggested that I try the Ghost Ultimate, which has a much crisper let-off.  I also like the Lonewolf and Scherer connectors.

I tried one many years ago and they were not worth the time or money.....a solution looking for a problem....

Took it out and threw it away
