I recently purchased a Ghost Tactical 5.0 (5lb) connector. Both the Ghost Tactical and the Ghost Rocket feature a trigger control tab (TCT) which prevents overtravel, therefore the connector requires some fitting. I installed the connector on my G34 which had a stock Glock 3.5 connector. After about an hour of removing small ammounts of material from the TCT and testing, I got it just right. Even though the Ghost Tactical is a 5lb connector, the take up was smoother, and the break was much more positive, less mushy, and cleaner than the Glock 3.5 connector, although the final break was "slightly" heavier. Needless to say I was impressed, and have put in an order for a couple of Ghost Rocket 3.5 connectors. Anyone interested in getting a better trigger on their Glocks, the Ghost rocket is worth looking at. They also have other connectors which are "drop in" for those who dont care to have a trigger stop or just dont want to mess with installing it. |

I have a Ghost Tactical right here in my desk drawer. I've been meaning to give it a test run, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. I have run a few hundred rounds downrange, using both the "standard" Ghost 3.5# connector, the Ghost Rocket, and my favorite, the Ghost Ultimate. I found the Rocket's break to be a little mushy for my taste. At Arthur Vianni's suggestion, I tried his "Ultimate", and like it a bunch. Now that I've read Brian's positive comments about the Tactical, I'm going to whip it out and give it a try within the next few days. |
Walter, as I understand it, the Ghost Rocket and Ghost Ultimate are the same with the exception of the trigger control stop on the Rocket??? I guess they both include the debris channel (slot) now. I'm wondering if the connectors with the new debris channel are smoother because of less surface area and drag?? I'm not sure if you will be happy with the Tactical since you are probably are already accustomed to the lighter pull of the Ultimate and Rocket. The "Ultimate" is the drop in part with the debris channel, is that correct? I'm not so sure how mauch the trigger stop helps, my Stock Glocks dont seem to have excessive overtravel. I may just purchase the Ultimate. Thoughts? |
I will have for sale in a day or so... Ghost Rockets (require fitting) $25.99 Ghost Ultimates $22.95 (drop in) Ghost Rangers $22.95 (require fitting) only $2 shipped No extra for papypal |

Brian, when Arthur installed the GR in my G17, it didn't have the slot. I discussed the mushiness with him, right then, and he suggested the Ultimate, which doesn't offer the stop. Arthur said that he could easily design a connector that broke as cleanly as the Scherer, which is what I mostly use. He said that his marketing research showed that Glock owners didn't like the less-mushy triggers as well as they did the mushier triggers. I can't understand anybody's preferring mushy over to crisp, but I guess Arthur knows his stuff. My Glocks' triggers break from just over 3# to just under 4#. I still haven't found a connector that breaks as crisp as the Scherer connectors. I generally don't like Scherer products; their Glock connectors are the exception. I'm currently carrying my G26 equipped with either a Ghost Ultimate or a Scherer (and I can't remember which), along with the Lonewolf trigger housing with the adjustable trigger stop. |
