I took the plunge into Gen 4 land and picked up a USA made 17, whereupon I discovered that the stock Gen 4 triggers were not as bad as some people said. Then I went and slightly improved the existing trigger by installing a Glock "-" connector, a 6# trigger spring and a reduced firing pin plunger spring. First, I just installed the parts, and that brought it down from 4# to 3.5# (measured at the trigger tip), then, disassembled and polished all IAW the 25 cent trigger job guidance and darned if it didn't take another quarter pound off by itself! I have a nice, clean 3.25# trigger while still maintaining the factory firing pin spring. Nice!

I never use a factory Glock connector, though.

I haven't polished mine, but I have swapped all my Gen 4 trigger bars for Gen 3s and dropped in a factory (-) connector on them as well. Much better pull overall.
As a rule, I only use factory internals on my guns. They're all carry guns, and most of the stoppages I've seen in Glocks are due to one of four things: Limp wristing, bad ammo, bad mags, and aftermarket parts. |
