Who sells factory Glock 3.5# connectors? I called the factory in Smyrna this morning and was told they only sell the 3.5 to LE agencies, and then, it has to be to the armorer. |

I'd recommend that you stay away from the Glock 3.5# connectors as they give a mushy feel. Scherers are better but the best one out there right now is Lone Wolf's 3.5# connector. It reduces the trigger weight but maintains a crisp break. While you are getting one, I'd suggest you pony up a couple more bucks and also get a competition triggerspring. The higher weight of the trigger spring helps pull the trigger rearward and actually helps make the trigger pull lighter and crisper. This isn't to be confused with the striker spring which resists the trigger pull, rather its the small spring that you hook at the back of the triggerbar to the trigger housing. Glockparts.com sells them and together they are worth every penny of the $15 or so that they cost together. |

I run a full Ghost Rocket setup in mine. Ghost Rocket 3.5 Most people who shoot my pistol don't want to give it back afterwards.

| I just put a Scherer 3.5 in my G17 tonight. I think it feels just like the factory pull but breaks alittle easier. It does not feel mushy to me. I got it from Midway USA for $9.00. but they will charge you $3.00 extra if you are not spending $25.00 or more, which i seasy for me cus I want everything they sell. I have not tried the lone wolf brand, but on Midway's sight the Scherer got a 4 star rating and the lone wolf got a 3 star. Same price either way. |
It's sad that an "expert" can't.
The fact you don't even know what your post count is, speaks volumes. It is right under you screen name. And what does being an "expert" on a helicopter have to do with the feel of a connector? Like I said, I have both installed on my Glocks. I bet I could hand you one of each without telling you which was which, and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference either. The difference between the Scherer and the Glock isn't that big. It might be between some of the other companies out there. But not these two. |
Not taking sides here, but as far as I am concerned, post count means absolutely nothing. Substance and the quality of the info are all that concern me on this, or any forum. |
The point was, there was no substance or quality to his post. |
| My biggest hang-up is sitting in a deposition after the shooting and having to testify that I have a "rocket" anything, that is designed to lighten the trigger pull, that wasn't installed by a Glock certified armorer. By staying with all Glock factory parts, I can honestly say that my gun is factory inside and out. |
Yep. That is why I am going to stick with the Glock 3.5 and 8lb spring. (Havent done it yet, but the guys at GlockTalk forums say good things...) |

For what it's worth, I'm a US Army trained Armorer who also taught other Armorers and I'm here to say that it don't mean a dam thing who put it in in court. It matters if it is installed correctly and what it's functional differences from stock are and the implications of those differences. "My Lone Wolf 3.5# connectors in my Glocks were installed in accordance with Glock factory instructions by a US Government trained Armorer. They were installed to allow the owner to defend himself with added accuracy resulting from a smoother trigger pull in order that he could ensure that only his attacker was hit." BTW, the last time I was on a jury involving a firearms issue, the attorneys were so inept that they didn't even know what the difference was between a single and double action revolver; even though the distinction was fundamental to the prosecution's claim of 'intent to fire'. Seems that the cops claimed that he was trying to shot them while wrestling on the ground with two of them because he had is finger on the trigger (with both of their's wrapped around his and the cylinder). Further, they claimed, "that their actions to prevent the cylinder from turning was the only reason the revolver didn't fire; therefore the defendant exhibited intent". After the revolver was show to the jury, I asked the question about what type of revolver it was (single or double action) and the next thing I know we are in the judges chambers where I'm explaining to everyone that the Ruger single action revolver was incapable of being fired simply by pulling the trigger. Both the cops and the lawyers were just lazy on that case but the jury convicted the 4 time felon in spite of the prosecution's inept presentation of the case. |
