Glock Question...

[Montelores]

Hi, All -

I am new to Glocks, and I have a question for the knowledgeable Glock-owners out there.

Will these GlockWorx connector and spring kit improve a Glock trigger?

These products will reduce the trigger pull but, it is unlikely that it will be reduced to 2 lbs. The connector will help as will the heavier trigger spring however, I would not replace the striker spring with a weaker spring. It may lead to light strikes with some types of primers. There is a ton of aftermarket parts available for Glock pistols, some are useful others are gimmicks. I would recommend that you stay with Glock parts if you intend to carry your Glock. Glock offers a (-) connector which will keep your gun stock and safe for any intended use.
None of these parts will make your trigger pull smoother. Check You Tube for instructions and demonstrations of the 25 cent trigger job. It is easy to do if you are familiar with the internals of your Glock and you are careful not to over do it.

Thanks very much, jdavis.

I was leery of the lighter springs, but I would like to have a "better" trigger.

Is the Glock part called a (-) connector?

I'll look it up on the Glock website.

Do you have any knowledge of the GlockWorx connector - even if it's not a 2# trigger? (Which seems awfully light for a self-defense gun.)

Thanks for the You Tube recommendation.

All the best -

2 pounds is for a competition pistol. I would suggest going to kingglock.com for more information. Walt is an expert that has done many trigger mods. he also is a competitive shooter. He is also my brother. I know he is honest. I have a ghost rocket trigger he installed and I polished the parts myself. It is about 3 pounds and I consider it a very light trigger.

Too many people keep fixing their Glock until it's broke.

If you can watch a good shooter using a stock Glock with the standard trigger setup, it will open your eyes.
(Don't watch me, I'm not that good).

My glock shoots way better than I can too. Right out of the box.

Buy a 1911 or a revolver ...

It is not a target gun, it is good for what it is intended right out of the box. I wouldn't mess with it. Especially if you plan on carrying it. The liability is too high.

Thanks, all, for the feedback.

Good information.

I appreciate it.

Montelores,

Don't know how married you are to the Glock. Here is my experience when looking for a CC weapon a little while back. I wanted a weapon that was a good CC weapon, but was enjoyable enough at the range, that it wouldn't be a chore to go and practice with it. Ergonomics and trigger were important to me. I liked the idea of a striker weapon, since I wasn't comfortable carrying 1911 style locked and cocked, and don't care much for DAO triggers.

I shot a bunch of different weapons prior to purchase. I found the Glock trigger to be the bottom of the list for me. Ruger and Smith were at the top. Another issue for me is a manual safety is a must for a non DAO or decocker weapon. I ended up renting/borrowing a bunch of weapons, but I now have a CC gun I really like. Everything in life is a compromise, but what I have is a good compromise for me. If you really aren't happy with the trigger you have, I would seriously consider looking for a weapon that suits you and trade into it. Some mods are probably OK for a CC weapon. Messing with the trigger is an area I would approach with great fear and trepidation.

Trigger pull characteristics, and ergonomics are very individual, so you really have to find out what works for you.

Check out the 10 cent trigger job on Youtube. Basiclly you just fluff and buff the some of the internals. Took my Glock 17 G4 down to about 5-5.5 lbs, and took my Glock 21 down to about 4.5-5lb. The trigger pull is now much smoother as well.

Yes I would not go too light on a pistol with no grip or thumb safety unless you plan on carrying it with an empty chamber.

 

[Montelores]

Thanks again for all the advice - I do appreciate the perspectives.

If I do end up making a change, it will be with a standard Glock connector (the "-" connector).

That seems like a reasonable choice, considering everything.

Thanks again to all - (except to revhigh - he's just yanking my chain! )

I've owned many Glocks over the years and still have a Mod. 27 and Mod. 21. I've found that the most reliable Glocks are the ones that are left as the factory intended them to be. There are a lot of gadgets out there for the Glocks, trying to perfect perfection.

 

[Montelores]

Thanks for the reply -

The gun is still stock, and, after all the advice, the only change that I would consider would be a Glock (-) connector.

I appreciate the shared experience -

All my thanks -

Monty

^That's exactly what I did with both of my Glocks

Went I got back into shooting/collecting last December after a 15-year absence due to health problems some of the first handguns I purchased were 3 baby Glocks, a 26, a 27, and a 39. I didn't think the trigger pulls were all that bad on any of them, but I bought 3.5 lb connector and installed it in the Glock 26. For me at least I didn't think it made all that much difference. Of course, YMMV. The stock Glock 39 .45 GAP was my exclusive concealed-carry weapon until very recently when I started alternating it with a Galloway-modified Ruger LC9.
