I own a Glock 17. Bought it to celebrate the end of the AWB along with a stack of 30 round mags. This is not going to be a serious carry weapon... just a weapon of mass destruction. So it will stay unloaded until ready to shoot. With that being said I want to get this trigger down as far as I can by conventional means. I don't want to invest $250.00 in one of the Rhea trigger kits. I bought the Ghost Rocket and that made a huge difference. So much so that my buddies who shoot with Glock 34s in IDPA Matches all bought one. I've taken it apart and polished all the trigger related parts with flitz and got it to a mirror shine. So now my trigger sits at about a smooth 3.25 Lbs. Here is where my questions come in. I want to purchase an assortment of internal springs that will further reduce my trigger pull. I saw the Wolff Competition spring kit and it says it includes a reduced power striker spring, reduced power safety block spring and an extra power trigger spring. The other springs I understand but why do I want an "extra power trigger spring"? Isn't the idea to lesson the tension. Or am I not understanding how the gun works. Will a stronger trigger spring give me less trigger pull? Please explain. If this is true and a stronger Trigger spring makes for reduced trigger pull then wouldn't I want to go after one of those New York 12 pounder jobs? My main goal is to end up with as light and crisp and sensitive a trigger pull as I can get. Something really capable of extreme rapid fire. Suggestions, directions, and web sites would be most appreicated.

You're right, an extra power spring will make pulling the trigger harder, although the rest will be slightly faster. I much prefer the reduced power spring. Glockmeister has a reduced power 'competition' trigger spring, that, along with my scherer 3.5# connector made for a really sweet trigger pull.
That's what I was thinking. I guess I'll buy the other two springs individually and then buy a low power trigger spring from Glockmeister.
You should try the Ghost Rocket. It requires a little fitting but once you remove that last perfect little piece of metal it makes for an extremely tight trigger. I was blown away. Who'da thunk that little pieace of metal would make so much difference.

On a Glock the spring that is hooked to the end of the trigger bar actually pulls the trigger in the direction needed for it to disengage. A lighter spring will give a heavier pull, and a heavier spring a lighter pull.
