I bought a Glock 19 and love it, but I would really like a lighter/crisper trigger. Shorter would be a bonus, but not a priority. This will be a carry gun sometimes, and used in practice and matches.
At cheaper than dirt, they seem to have good prices on various connectors- lone wolf 3.5lb Ghost Ultimate 3.5lb Ghost Rocket 3.5lb Ghost Tactical 5lb Any experiences with these? I am planning on the $.25 trigger job plus a connector. The price differences don't matter much since its basically $10-25. I've seen good and bad reviews but I dont know if its just bs trolling or legit, so I figured I would ask arfcom. Also I am extremely satisfied with my purchase as it turns out the grip angle is about 100 times more natural for me than my USP...just want a better trigger and sights. |

Ghost has the best I've tried. I'm using a Ghost 3.5lb Rocket with a 6lb. trigger spring.
I was having a problem with it about 1 month ago. The Rocket has to be fitted. Not hard but you have to take enough off to get the right re-set. I had it too close. Took a little more off and the trigger was sweet. |

All you need is a 3.5# connector and a Competition Trigger Spring for a lighter and crisper trigger. Much pre-travel and all of the over travel will be eliminated and you'll love your new trigger. Best of all is that its both cheap (about $20) and so easy you can do it yourself. 3.5# Connector: I've tried Glock, Scherer, and Lone Wolf 3.5# connectors in my Glocks and Lone Wolf's is the best hands down because it gives you the best 'break' with less take up and over travel. The other two connectors left a mushy feel in the trigger. You can get it from Glockparts.com for $15 HERE. Comp Trigger Spring: The Comp Trigger Spring is a higher weight spring (6lbs vs 5lbs) and because the spring works with you pulling the trigger, not against you, the higher spring weight gives you a lighter and crisper pull. Glockparts.com has them for $5 HERE. While you’re at it, give your Glock a 25¢ trigger job by following the instructions HERE. Its really quite simple to do and you’ll be pleased with the results. For instructions on replacing your connector and trigger spring, as well as disassembling your Glock, check out Glockparts Disassembly Page. Just click "Disassembly" on the left of his home page. They give instructions with photos to help you do it. Glocks are simple to work on so give it a try. |

And holy shit, thank you for this. This post just about answered every question I had. 
For the links, the first one should be replaced with: http://glockparts.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=7295&CAT=705 The second: http://glockparts.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=6817&CAT=749 Seems they changed their site around some. |

I use the Ghost Ultmate 3.5lb. and a 6lb trigger spring in all my Glocks. If you want to really tune your trigger get the AGI video Making Glocks ROCK! It also has good info. on diffent type of sights. Mike |

Ill get on the LW connector and competition spring, and install them when I take it down for the polish job. If I dont like the LW, Ill give the ghost a shot. Then again Im not looking for the best possible, but something that works well for me.
Thanks for the input everyone. |
| Mixed results on the LWD connector here. The conflicting user reports is why I hate the Internet. |

I hated my 6 lb "Competition" trigger spring, i dont know if it was a fluke, although, If i squeezed my trigger just before it broke, and let off the trigger, it would not reset all the way forward, leaving the trigger safety off. As you know, this is a major hazard problem, I immediately put my stock one back in...
A couple weeks later, i put an ny1 spring and a 3.5 ghost connector with a .25c trigger job. I love it! |

I had the same problem with mine...LW connector, competition spring, polished up...i was also getting light strikes on the occasional round. Tore it apart and found the striker spring was an aftermarket lightweight one. Replaced it with a stock striker spring and everything is happy now. |

does anyone know where i can pick up a Glock factory 3.5lb. connector? are these any good? i like the idea that it's a factory part, but most people seem to go with aftermarket 3.5lb. connectors. i'm curious as to why?
what's the difference between the NY1 and NY2 trigger springs? i understand factory trigger spring is rated at 5lbs. and the "competition" spring is 6lbs., but what are the NY trigger springs rated? |

I have 6 of them. NY1 (olive)will increase trigger pull 3lbs. over normal weight associated with that connector. The NY2 (orange)will increase it 5lbs. So if we use a GLOCK 4.5# connector plus a NY1, we will have a trigger pull close to 7.5 lbs. All this assuming you are useing the factory silver (24N) firing pin spring. |
