Installed the Rocket today.
Pros on my gun.
Noticeably better Overtravel
Cons
Trigger is only marginally better from using Stock Connector
Weird stacking feeling if I creep the trigger til it breaks, like the bump others mention.
Installation wasn't difficult at all. I know my way around the SR9 enough that if I need to get into the internals I could almost do it blindfolded. I did the install at work so I'd have access to our good heavy duty bench grinder. There wasn't a good way to hold it while grinding so I found a part that was used as a clamp that had square sides and was saw cut and fit the connector into. Clamped it down and bam, instant grinding fixture. I made only one decent cut. I knew about where it needed to be but the cut was on an angle and it needed to be squared up. I probably took off another .0075 or so trying to square up the corners. Overtravel isn't bad at all, it's much improved, but there's still some there because I did go over the sweet spot. It's a good addition to the connector for those seeking an overall better trigger. It helps the SR9 in this regard.
As for the pull weight, it's really kinda meh to me. I installed it and got it working right and really didn't feel anything different from the stock one. Was sort of a let down. Almost everyone else was talking up the difference being worth the almost 1 year wait to get it. All I seemed to get out of it was a glorified self cleaning overtravel stop. I even swapped back to stock at the range to try and find a difference. I dry fired it left handed at home, nothing. With my weak pinkies....nothing. Maybe my trigger pull was already decent enough from wear or constant tear downs that there wasn't going to be any noticeable difference. I'll bring home a Trigger Gauge and see what I find on it maybe Thursday and compare it to the stock pull.
If it's shows to be a heavy number (over 6) I might give Ghost a call back and see about another connector, I'm really not impressed with the weight and the more I seem to dwell on it, the worse it seems to get.
I did put 200 rounds through it without any problems. The guide rod that I put in is holding up well after shooting some noticeably hotter loads (WWB - NATO marked).
Will see about going back out there this weekend and see if the range owner wants to try it out or something and put it through another person's perspective rather my own.
