I just bought the G30SF that I have been lusting over for a few months. This is my second Glock and the creep on the trigger was unbearable. I bought the 3.5# rocket from Ghost and all it seems like after fitting is the pull is lighter. The creep seems worse due to the lighter pull weight. I googled everything I can google and find that a lot of people point at the FPS plunger as being the culprit. I cleaned it up a bit, but after looking at it up through the mag well, it is fully depressed as the trigger "creeps". I have been around a couple guns with the .25$ trigger job and they just seems as mushy as any. However, my gf's G26 has an awesome clean break that I want to replicate. The gun is bone stock. Where do I need to look? |

i admit up front i don't know what i'm talking about but i've noticed that my xdm45 has a lot of trigger mush/creep/whatever where my xdm 9and 40s did not.
i only mention this as both your g30sf and my xdm are large framed guns compared to your gf's and my xdms which are small framed. i hope i didn't confuse you but all of my glocks work well but my xdm was a nogo before i got the prp kit. there are places to send your gun but hopefully someone with a clue will be along soon. |
| I found the Ghost Rocket to be mushy, but that the Ghost Ultimate was a lot better. I run either LW, Ghost, or Scherer connectors in my Glocks. I might even have a Glockworx in one. I prefer all the referenced connectors to any Glock factory connector. We're talking about creep and not take-up, right?? |

Strangely, I've found that almost everyone I have taught (or shot with in a class or on the range) that had an issue with their Glock (including trigger complaints) had aftermarket parts in them. For me that has been a pretty large population. Stock Glocks just seem to run. Keeps me using OEM parts in all of mine (except sights where I like Meprolight) YMMV. OP - I'd suggest getting a OEM Glock "-" connector (listed as 4.5# now) and adding the NY1 trigger module. It gives you a much less mushy and more consistent pull (around 5.5#) with a clean rapid reset without any noticable creep in my experience. |

I don't think I'd like the revolver-like pull of a NY spring. I've fired over 300k rounds through my Glocks, almost all the rounds having been shot through Glocks with aftermarket connectors. I've never had one failure related to the aftermarket connectors. I absolutely can't stand the feel of a Glock factory connector. All this is purely subjective, of course...just my opinion. I do polish all metal-to-metal mating surfaces in my Glocks' firing mechanisms. My Glocks' triggers pull from just over 3# to just under 4#. |

Smooth out and polish the part of the trigger bar that depresses the FPS. Round it off a bit. ETA: I've also heard of polishing the sides of the FPS. ETA2: Make sure you don't lower it at the front most/highest point. Round off the back point to give it a more gradual angle as it pushes on the plunger. |

I've found that all you need is a 3.5# connector and a Competition Trigger Spring for a lighter and crisper trigger. Much pre-travel (creep) and all of the over travel will be eliminated and you'll love your new trigger. Best of all is that it’s both cheap (about $20) and so easy you can do it yourself in just a couple of minutes. 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 take up and over travel. The other two connectors left a mushy feel in the trigger. You can get it from Glockparts.com for $15 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 HERE. |

Do they still make the polished version or is the coated one the new hot item? |
LWD Connector 3.5 lb
Item: LWD-342 The Lone Wolf 3.5 lb Connector is an improved version of the Glock original 3.5. Special features include:
Unique coating to make the connector super slippery. 25% reduction in side thickness provides superior reset action. The connector has been redesigned with new spring weights and angles for improved geometry and feel. Connector has a built in debris channel for improved performance. Connector works with ALL Glocks regardless of model or generation. This one is the one I have. Actually, I have 4.  You can polish the important parts of you wish. I don't. Works great.

My experience is that if you want a lighter weight trigger in a glock, you are going to have to deal with some creep no matter what.
It is a balance between trigger weight and creep. Now having said that, if you can get a real smooth and polished setup, you will press right through that creep like it is nothing. Basically a really nice glock trigger setup will have a rolling break. Put in some training/practice time and bobs your uncle. I like either the LWD or Glock dot connector. You guys want to hear something pretty funny. I just bought a CZ 75 SP-01 tactical. The sear and hammer has more than enough engagement and are at a very positive angle, so you get some creep. Some even say a ton of creep for a SA trigger. Lots of CZ or 1911 guys will talk about how the trigger needs work, but will clean up nice. I think it feels like an awesome glock trigger setup for compeition 
I actually really like it. |
