Gen 4 trigger Mods???

[AKElroy]

I ordered a G23 Gen4 yesterday, and am considering the 6# spring and 3.5# connector mod. I have seen a few videos regarding a change to the OEM connector on the Gen 4's that has increased the pull weight to 6 lbs or so. Is this the case? Should I do this mod?

I would just do a light polish of the components and shoot the gun for awhile. I did this with my G19 and am very happy with the results.

My duty carry Glock 23 has the 3.5 connector and 6 lb trigger spring and I think it's perfect for carry but it's a gen 3. Is your pistol for range use only? Consider the following-

My competition G22 and G35 are getting the trigger bar mod.

The Glocktalk link has better pics.

I finished the G22 and the trigger was actually too light with the 3.5 connector and Wolfe 4 lb striker spring. I had to put all the stock parts back in and the trigger is amazing. It feels like a tuned 1911. It's about 3.5 lbs, crisp, and with a very short reset. Before all you safety nannys and Glock haters get your bowels in an uproar, remember, this is for range use only and not a carry pistol. I've run a few hundred rds thru it now and it works perfectly.

Or you could just cough up $160. for a Zev Tech Fulcrum trigger. Same principle.

I have a bunch of surplus trigger bars and it seems the gen 4 bars have a steeper curve on the end of the cam that rides down on the connector than the gen 3 bars. It seems that this would make the trigger pull heavier but it should be less mushy as it would release the striker a little quicker. Probably a good candidate for a 3.5 lb connector if nothing else. I personally don't own a gen. 4 Glock though.

Should I do this mod?

Try the following exercise.

The purpose of this gun is ______. If I modify it by ______, it will allow me to fulfill that purpose with greater safety or proficiency.

If true, do it. If not, don't. Once that's done, shoot it for a few hundred rounds at least, and then determine if the trigger fails to meet your needs. If so, make the change. If not, great.

Try shooting it....

Polishing takes the gritty feeling out of it, but keeps the weight. I dropped a 3.5# connector in with the stock spring and got a great pull, but a light reset. I ordered a NY1 trigger spring that is 8#. I had some issues with the connector so I had to send it back. When I got the NY1 spring, I put it in with the stock connector and got a nice consistent pull, but it was heavier. I am waiting on the replacement 3.5# connector, which from what I hear will be the same weight of the stock settings, but with a more consistent trigger pull and a positive reset. Here's hoping anyway.

With a good polish job, this will get you a 2#+ trigger (G34 Gen3).

This with the 6# spring should get you about 3.5+ trigger. These are inexpensive but they work. Never tried the high dollar kits.

If this is a carry gun I'd shoot a few hundred through it in stock config first to see how it's going to work for you.

This is what I've decided to do. Hopefully this weekend I can get to the range. I did go ahead and install the extended slide lock and release, as well as the mag-well plug and the medium grip. I have to say, this may fit my hand better than any pistol I own. The horrid trigger is beginning to smooth out with repeated dry fire. I will polish the little bump on the connector some if it does not continue to improve.

Google Glock 25 cent trigger job. There's several areas you can polish to smooth things out a little quicker.
