Can somebody explain to me why changing the connector in a Glock is responsible for changing the weight of the trigger pull?
I have never had one apart before and have never had an aftermarket connector in my hands to look at either. I look a all the different connectors available on the Internet that are said to lower trigger pull weights and I can't understand the mechanics as to how this is possible. |

Quoted:
Just FYI the - connector is not going to yield a 3.5# pull it is more along the lines of 4.5. To achieve 3.5 it requires the - connector and the heavier trigger reset spring. Alright, good to know. I have thought some about going to a lighter pull with my 19. However the more I think about it, the more I tend to lean toward just leaving it stock. I don't know that a lighter trigger for a carry gun is what I really want. |

Not to mention that's the entire point of a holster that covers the trigger guard. Glocks fire when the triggers are physically pulled. Bottom line. I've carried guns with 3lb pulls already. If the trigger guard is covered it's all good. |

The Zev spring? Quoted:
Quoted:
I carry mine with just the trigger reset spring swapped to a heavy comp one. Takes the clunky mush at the break out and drops ~1# from the total weight and makes the Reset more positive. The Zev spring? Yes I usually buy these http://www.midwayusa.com/product/246023/zev-technologies-competition-spring-kit-glock-all-models?cm_vc=ProductFinding but if you want just the spring http://www.midwayusa.com/product/611080/zev-technologies-competition-trigger-spring-glock-all-models?cm_vc=ProductFinding |

Heavy trigger springs will make reset weaker, not crisper. They help you to pull the trigger and that's why pull weight is reduced. But when the trigger resets it has to overcome that extra weight. Gen 4s have been known to have reset issues when you switch to a heavy trigger spring.
Striker springs will make the biggest difference in pull weight but for a carry gun you probably aren't going to want to mess with that. |

Heavier trigger reset spring increases trigger reset pressure and reduces trigger pull weight. It is not just known to Gen4s either it is a common issue when the pistol is not assembled properly. I have them in all my Glock Gen2, 3 and 4 no issues it is one of the parts I change on all my Glocks along with plastic sights and ribbed triggers.
