| I just picked up a used glock 23 for a great price and it was a police trade in and must have the NY trigger. The trigger is ridiculously heavy and it doesn't have the same trigger spring in it like my other glocks. I am new to glocks and need help. What parts do I need to take out and what parts do I have to then put in to get this back to a regular trigger. |

What parts do I need to take out and what parts do I have to then put in to get this back to a regular trigger. it's pretty simple to replace the trigger spring, there are videos out on youtube. You'll need a small punch to take the pins out. 5.5lb spring can be found at many different sites online. Just remember when you put the new spring in, it should look like the letter "S". |

All you need is a standard trigger spring; you can get one for about $2. Check here for how to disassemble the receiver. As mentioned above, when installing the new trigger spring it should go in like this.
Also check to be sure you don't have an 8lb. connector. Look on the back of the hook on the connector that sticks up out of the frame. if you see a "+" then it's an 8lb. connector. |

the trigger spring area looks nothing like my other glocks. It dosen't even have the regular trigger spring. This is what I think is in there.

| The NY trigger spring replaces the standard coil spring, it's not added in addition to the coil spring. All you have to do is disassemble the frame and replace the NY trigger spring with the standard coil spring. |

First of all, what color is the "NY Trigger"? If it is green, I would leave it in and change the connector to the "-" connector. If it is orange , which is the heavier of the two, I would change it to the green "NY Trigger" and still change to the "-" connector. This combo will lighten the trigger slightly and will give a more postive reset. According the the factory tech at the armory class I attended the green "NY Trigger" will never wear out like the "S coil" trigger spring. Anyways, I hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice guys, I will take the crap spring out. Don't want any Newyorkistan trigger in my gun.  Quoted:
Now, how did I just KNOW that someboyd would come along and suggest that he just leave that crappy NY spring in there?? Kalifornia? NY?? Not that much difference!  Uh, sorry to burst your bubble but a LOT of Glockophiles actually prefer that spring over the original coil spring when used in conjunction with the "minus" connector. Try it –– it gives a more consistent pull over the original config with a more positive reset. The fact that I and many many many others prefer the NY1 spring has nothing to do with "Newyorkistan" politics.
