Glock trigger question

[SKD11B]

I have been wanting to lighten up the trigger on my G19 and was just wondering if any of you had any info or advice as to what I would be best satisfied with? It'll be for SD, range shooting and possibly a little comp. TIA

I like the stock triggers, pistol G17L in 3.5 pound config G22 in 5 pound...

Good luck

Yesterday I had the opportunity to put a few magazines through a Gen4 Glock 17 fitted with the new 'dot' connector - supposedly in-between a standard and 3.5# 'minus' connector. Nothing else had been done to the trigger mechanism other than the application of some grease.

I didn't have a scale (or the Dvorak Triggerscan) handy, but it felt very smooth and predictable, with a rolling break and a very positive reset. I had no trouble ringing an 8x12" steel plate, freestyle, strong hand, and weak hand only, at ~25 yards.

For the money, I'd totally give the 'dot' connector a try.

Thanks

So Chris, all you bought was the connector? That is what I was going to do as well, but then i saw the kits for 140. So yours feels and functions fine with the connector bar only?

Messing with the trigger is one of the two best ways to negatively impact reliability, in my experience. For a carry gun, personally I would not touch it.

For competition (IDPA, etc), I would make the case that the Glock trigger is pretty much fine as-is also. My carry gun is a G19, comp gun is a G34, both have 100% stock triggers. Before making a change to your gun, IMO you should have a specific result in mind, and be able to state to yourself how making this gear change is going to help you affect that result. If you can do that, then great. If not, I would be hesitant to do something that will be a reliability trade off if the goal is not clearly understood. A single malfunction will likely cost more time than any gear change will save. Just something to think about... I think that side of the coin is not given enough consideration by many.

SKD11B -

Sadly, it wasn't my Glock. It was some other dudes...

But yeah, all it had was the '.' connector, and some grease. Felt good, functioned fine for the 500-odd rounds it fired yesterday.

If it is for SD the stock trigger or even a heaver trigger spring may be the more appropriate option.

If my recollection is correct the 3.5 connectors are for competition and are considered too light for a SD gun.

But the minus dot connector is 4.5 lbs.

As I understand it, it is a stock part. The trigger pull on the Gen 4s is slightly greater than that on the Gen 3s. The new connector is to get the pull back down to approximately the Gen 3 specs. I don't think it would impact reliability.
