So I just purchased a Glock 19 Gen 4 on Friday, but have to wait the 7 days LOL.
Never fired a Gen 4 but firgured I'd take the plunge anyway. Turns out there are a lot of reports about the trigger being much heavier than the standard Glock 5.5lbs, I believe the Gen 4s are around 6.5lbs. I've had multiple people say do the "25cent polishing mod", to adding a Ghost connector, to swapping Trigger Bar for a Gen 3 Trigger Bar. (something to do with the "bump" on the trigger bar, but still much debate about that) I was probably planning on doing the Ghost Connector thing anyway... So any other tips or advice? No, I'm not spending another $100 or more on a new trigger system, or modifying or cutting the frame in any way. Note: it's a range gun, not a carry gun, so I'm not concerned about the lighter trigger issue for carry. |

Oh cool, so I have to take it apart to see the marking, or can you tell by the aerial number. It's "brand new" but I have no idea how ling it's been sat in the store. So it could still be an "old" gun. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile What's your 3 letter prefix? |

You can see it if you take the slide off, you don't have to disassemble any farther than that. The dot would be in the same place the "-" is in this picture...

| Both of my Gen 4 23 and 27 had a pretty hefty trigger when I bought them last year. They did not have the dot connector. Finally got them from Glockmeister, found a You Tube video on installing them the easy way, and it has improved my trigger pull. I do not have a trigger guage, but know I don't want go any lighter with a striker pistol for self defense. |

Not sure I want to mess with springs or enything else at this point, but might consider the polishing but that's it. |
