... if pressure is not applied to the trigger when slide is racked.
If I do put pressure on the trigger (as happens when actually shooting it), trigger resets as it should.

First time I've dry fired it in a long time, but never had a problem when shooting it (usually once or twice a month).

It has a lone wolf 3.5lb connector.

I know I can switch it back to stock parts to see if that fixes it, but if anyone knows what is causing this problem it'd save me some time.

ETA: Just found a piece of spring where I was sitting
Guess I know what causes this problem now

Yep.  Broken trigger spring.  Gun will still function if you hold the trigger back while cycling the slide.  You can replace with stock or try the NY1 green trigger module and not have to worry about broken trigger springs again.

The ny will increase the trigger pull though... Right?

TDunn is correct, it should be a broken trigger spring. I personally would stick with a stock "S" spring. The NY spring will give you about 9# pull with a standard connector and about 7.5# with a "-" connector or the one you have in from LW.

Rather than that heavy NY trigger spring, 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
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.







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.
