| Looking for easy to install trigger upgrade that does not affect reliabilty? |
| Change the connector to a, '3.5 lb.' Probably something from Ghost, Inc. like an EVO. (You'll, also, get a very nice trigger stop with the EVO.) Go on-line, watch some videos and give your Glock the famous, '25¢ polish job'. (It helps if you know how to use a Dremel Tool, correctly!) If I were doing the work I'd add two Wolff Gunsprings, 'extra power' (XP) trigger and striker springs. |

The lighter connectors change the geometry of how the gun drops the firing pin. It is using a longer lever. So the weight is less, but from what I have found it results in a mussier break. I bought a Vanek trigger kit which is essentially a super polished trigger and am pretty disappointed in the results. The polish job really cleans up the takeup, but doesn't do much for the break. I don't really care what the takeup feels like, but want a better break. How is the ZEV kit? |
| I had good luck with an OEM minus connector and 6# trigger spring. No mush, and overall lighter on my 30s. I also replaced the serrated trigger with a 21 smooth faced trigger as well. The $.25 trigger job (polishing wheel on my Dremel actually) didn't seem to make much difference overall. |

Quite frankly I don't understand, 'Why' so many Glock shooters complain about, 'the mush' on a Glock trigger's front end take-up? Me, personally, I use that, 'mush' as an additional safety mechanism. It gives me that, 'other moment' I've occasionally needed to make the shoot/no shoot decision. While combat shooting you should be firing off a Glock trigger's reset point, anyway; so the, 'mush' really doesn't matter.
Charlie Vanek and a few others make great aftermarket triggers for Glock pistols; but, I've got older 3rd generation pistols with the early trigger bars in them. (Before the factory increased the angle on the crucifix's, 'kick plate'.) It's possible to dress and adjust these triggers to be almost (but not quite) as clean, and almost as short throw as one that Charlie makes. Consequently it doesn't make sense for me to go with anybody's aftermarket trigger bar. (If I had a newer Gen4 Glock, or a high serial number Gen3 then I'd, probably, change my mind.) It's not the length of the connector's cantilevered shelf that determines a Glock's trigger pull weight. THAT is always a result of the combined arithmetical mean for all of a Glock's springs (including the striker safety spring), AND the connector working together. Instead, it's the orientation of the connector shelf's front-to-back angle that most significantly affects a Glock's trigger pull weight and break characteristics.
