So 1st of all I'm a Glock noobie, I did the polish job on my 23 and it just didn't have the impact I was expecting,
Is that what I can expect out of a Glock trigger? |

Quoted:
I find it easier but more expensive to buy a trigger kit and drop it in my Glock pistols. Instant gratification. Or you could just put in an aftermarket connector and a spring kit. Some connectors will give you a mushy trigger with a spring kit so be aware. I put a ghost 3.5 in my 26 and it's awful. Mushy is a great way to describe it. I'll never do a connector alone ever again. I'd like to try a trigger kit to put in my competition gun but I wouldn't even know where to start. |

Noobies polishing stuff have ruined more stuff than they've improved.
It's a Glock. If you wanted a good trigger, you shoulda got a different gun. Glock triggers can get lighter, but they never get significantly 'better'. I've shot all manner of competition built Glocks with Vanek, and every other kind of trigger and they're all soft and mushy. |

Quoted:
Glock triggers can get lighter, but they never get significantly 'better'. Wrong. Very wrong. Shoot a DK trigger in a Glock then tell me they never get signicant better. Zero pre travel, not mushy at all (in fact mine feels extremely crisp), and about 3lbs. People who think Glocks can't have good triggers haven't felt the right one yet. Period. My trigger is as close to a 1911 trigger as any striker fired gun is ever going to be without being a 1911. |

I've polished, added a 6lb trigger spring, added a 3.5 connector and I like a trigger stop to remove the over-travel
I do not change the the striker spring over concerns of a light primer strike. I do not change the safety spring because I am not looking to make it any lighter. For me that setup is firm with an amount of pre-travel that I can tolerate. I have seen the screw in the frame to eliminate the pre travel but I am not doing it. A polish job is not enough. You need to add at the least 2 more things - Trigger springs are like $3.99 online and $4.50 local. Connectors are $10 to $25 depending on where you shop. YMMV |

It is mushy because you did not change the reset spring. I hate the stock reset spring it makes the stock trigger and the - connector have a mushy clunk feeling when the striker breaks. It is the one thing all my Glocks have and the one thing Glock needs to consider changing as it would bring the trigger in line with the market like the VP9 and PPQ feel. |

The safety spring really does not make the trigger lighter in the second break it lightens the take up you might try it out combined with you reset and connector it does not significantly drop weight but it really makes a nice subtle difference that you might like. |

The last thing I read on the safety spring said it would lighten the pull (description on Midway regarding Zev spring "lighter trigger pull by reducing the friction,etc "). I will continue to polish, the OEM parts I may hose are still cheaper than 1K of ammo even if these are the days of Romaine, Iceberg and Ranch. 
I also enjoy making the changes myself and not depending on someone else's time schedule. Thanks for your input and I may add the spring to my next order; bundle it in with some other items to save on shipping. |

You think they're almost as good as a 1911, but they're not. It's an utterly stupid modification anyway since it has almost 0 bearing on how well a person shoots. I don't consider a real legitimate match 1911 trigger an advantage to anything but slow fire. |

Because it overs no advantages, right? I'm not going to go into what I really think about your post since this isn't GD and I seem to get messages from mods telling me that informing people that their posts are incorrect in a sarcastic way isn't appropriate apparently. |

That youtube video i watched of someone comparing the DK to stock...is proof enough for me. That trigger is one of the best I have ever seen, in any type of gun. Quoted:

I just installed Ghost complete spring kit in my oldest Glock 17. Not impressed. Good thing it was only $7.00. Yeah, springs alone aren't going to make the Glock trigger all that. If you're not at least changing the connector you're not going to get a significant improvement over stock. I've said numerous times, but IMO, the best improvement you can make for the money is a good polish job. A $5 tub of polish and a cotton rag laying around the house will make a huge difference to a Glock trigger. It varies gun to gun, but I've seen polishing alone take over a pound off the pull. |

The spring kit didnt result in any noticeble improvement for me. Update: Test fired reliable with Tula, Federal aluminum and mixed reloads with a variety of primers. No light strikes. |
