Who's got one and does it work? |
| I have seen them but never needed them I am good to go with a 6lb trigger spring and 3.5 connector in a pistol that I am trying to get a consistent trigger. If I am doing carry I do a 3.5 with a NY1 I like the weight and the overall trigger travel feel plus the reset is fast. |
| I installed one on my G23 and I think it’s freaking awesome. First, let me state that my G23 is my range only pistol and would not put one on a duty/carry handgun. Installation is straight forward, if you know how to detail strip a Glock frame you’ll be gtg installing the trigger stop. Once you have it installed you can adjust the trigger’s reset utilizing the allen screw pointed out on your picture. Some suggest using a thread locker so the set screw doesn’t work itself loose while shooting. My double and triple tap times have significantly improved using this trigger stop, I haven’t had any problems with it in the 1k rounds I put thru my G23 since installation. I initially installed it for shits and giggles and I really like it, once again, it’s great for a range gun. |
| This unit makes for a nice setup (Glockmeister also has a unit that reduces overtravel) - I use something similar along with my personal version of the $0.25 trigger job and love it. My setup consists of carefully and correctly polished surfaces (trigger bar and connector), the GLOCK 3.5lb connector (also selectively polished in the right places), and a 6lb trigger spring to lighten the take-up. The trigger is exceptionally smooth, has light take-up, a crisp break, and a very short reset. After you get used to it, it's exceptionally fast, light, safe, and smooth. One more note... don't buy into the hype - get the Glock connector versus Ghost, Lone Wolf or other. I purchased one of the others listed before getting the Glock and found excess spalling of the coating which made for a very rough pull. What's most important on the connector is the angle of the section that contacts the trigger bar - nothing else - and all the connectors mentioned above use the same angle. Buying the Glock piece (and correctly polishing it) assures correct and exceptional performance of your firearm... |
| So you had a Ghost Rocket that wasn't right? Ghost would have happily replaced it. Ghost will even replace it if you somehow screw the first one up adjusting it. Can you adjust the re-set with the Glock 3.5LB. disconnector? I've used Glock, LW and Ghost. I wanted to reduce the re-set without worrying about a screw backing out. The Ghost Rocket is very smooth. The Glock has the same reset as a stock 5.5LB or any other Glock disconnector. |

The Glock has the same reset as a stock 5.5LB or any other Glock disconnector. My problem was with the LWD connector. It's got a Ni coating on it that was spalling on the inside corner where the trigger bar rides against it (resulted in a very rough trigger pull). The Glock connector doesn't have this problem as it's not coated via a plating process. Regarding reset - you are correct - all Glock connectors have the same overtravel/reset. However, overtravel prevention is the function of the screw on the LWD unit. As for the Ghost Rocket, you make a very good point about the screw backing out on the LWD unit - but it does require 'fitting' that some may not be comfortable doing (and doing properly). That said, I think I'll pick up one of them to see if I like it better (though the screw on mine has never backed out as I used Loctite on it). |
