Best way to learn is to buy one.. Like my Glock 23 in .40.

Great little gun!

It really was not a "recall", it was more of a receiver upgrade for some "E" serial prefix guns.(no specific model or caliber) . Below is a pic of the 3 basic receivers that have been producer since '86, 1st gen '85-'89, 2nd gen '89-'98 and 3rd gen '98 to present.






The NY trigger is just a spring that increases the trigger pull and can be easily changed.

What is the point of a NY Trigger?

I think it's for the NYC cops who were used to double action revolvers. The stock GLock trigger was too light for them.

At my dept. they switched all of our Glocks to the NYtrigger. We were told it decreased the probability of accidentally firing your weapon in a high-stress situation if you had your finger on the trigger(?).

Also, it was supposed to keep us from throwing more lead than absolutely neccessary at a bad guy.

Hey, that what i was told, but a few of us were like..WTF?
