Glock for USPSA - Trigger Question

[SHusky57]

I shoot a lot better with my NY1+3.5# connector G21SF than my G17 with stock 5.5#.

Is the NY1+3.5# a workable set-up for production?
I know most people that get serious about USPSA like to get the 2-3# triggers - but I'd like my production piece to be carry/defense friendly. I figure with enough practice (give me 10-15 years or so) that a 5-6# trigger will be do-able....

The draw to USPSA for me was to be able to practice doing things at speed in a more realistic setting than sitting behind a lane shooting a paper target.

I realize it's not IDPA and I don't want to switch to IDPA, nor is USPSA a substitute for training (it's still just a game afterall) - but if Sevigny can win with a mostly stock Glock and an unlimited practice ammo budget... I figure that a 2-3# trigger isn't necessary to be competitive.

I'm still learning the game and developing my skills, but I don't want to get so caught up in gaming that a production gun turns into a "race gun".

Are any "A" or "M" class shooters running the NY1+3.5# set-up? I know Mas Ayoob has used the NY1 with success in IDPA.

yes, internal modifications are allowed as long as you don't exceed the weight limit of two onces over the weight of the factory configuration.

I don't know what a "NY1+3.5# connector" is, but my sons shoot with a 3.5# disconnector and a bunch of other spring changes.

has information on the combination you've described.

With regard to my USPSA gear, I have decided to resist the urge to tinker and subscribe to the "spend money on ammo rather than mods" school of thought. I'm thinking chbrow10 may agree. I am always impressed by those who shoot well using good basic equipment.

I agree. Having made Master, you just don't need a super light trigger to make the gun shoot well. On the other hand, you need a LOT more practice...<g>

 

[chbrow10]

Rob, you are correct. I agree. there are a lot of examples of people winning big matches with average gear. The book, "The Glock in Competition" talks about a woman who won some big match using a police trade in G22 with a bulged barrel from a squib.

that trigger would work fine. if you like it run it. i use a 6lb trigger return spring, a 5lb striker spring, and a ghost inc. 3.5lb connector in my 34. all the springs are from wolff. i run my 17 stock as a back up.
practice (dryfire,and live fire) is more imortant than a great trigger.
