Has anyone done these 3 mods to a glock? How is the trigger?

[srawl]

I want to make my trigger a touch lighter, smooth, crisp and able to take the hard primers from steel case ammo (ive been having issues with light strikes).

100% reliability is crucial.

After some reading i am considering:

A 6lb extra power trigger spring
A 6lb extra power striker spring
Ghost drop it connector. Either 3.5lb avenger or ultimate or 4.5 ranger

If anyone has tried this combo i am very interested in the results.

I have also considered a lighter weight plunger spring as well.

Thanks

The trigger & striker spring mods will just about cancel each other out.

Keep in mind that going to a heavier striker spring means you must pay closer attention to your recoil spring as the recoil spring and striker spring "fight" each other when the gun is in battery. If you go too high on the striker spring and the recoil spring gets weak, you run the risk of pulling the gun out of battery when you pull the trigger.

Going to the lighter connector generally shaves about 1lb off the trigger pull, in my experience.

So I would expect that when you're all done with the three mods, the trigger pull will be about 1lb lighter.

I have also considered a lighter weight plunger spring as well.

I assume you're talking about the firing pin safety spring. It's pretty light to begin with. I don't think a lighter spring will make much difference.

I have a G34. I installed a Ghost kit consisting of a trigger spring (more #s), a firing pin/striker spring (less #s), a firing pin safety spring (less #s) and the 3.5 connector. Did some polishing on the inside of the slide and a little on the trigger bar. The trigger still has the Glock pretravel, then the wall, and 2.5#s later the gun will fire. But not with the break of a 1911.
Plan to reduce the recoil spring (I shoot a 12# "reaction" spring in the Colt National Match) and work on the interface of the striker and the crucifix. They both need very sharp and 90 degree faces to break properly. The crucifix is slightly rounded as produced.

I've got a Glock 19 and a Glock 22.

I installed the 3.5lb. Ghost connector in, and done the "$0.25 trigger job" on, both.

Trigger-wise, they're both great now, especially the Glock 22, which had the abominable "New York trigger" when I bought it.

Just a light polish of the internals and a G17 trigger is all it took to make my G19 smooth as I will ever need it.

On my gen 4 17 glock I swapped out the connector that had a dimple for the gen 3 version and it helped quite a bit. I then used simichrome to polish it a bit and it is now as good as the 3.5 ghost I have in another gun. Then, out of curiosity, I polished the gen 4 connector and even with the dimple it is pretty good. Blocks dont have great triggers compared to a cz or1911, but.....run with one of the NY trigger springs for a while and you'll appreciate the original setup for what it is

I can't recommend anything for light strikes as I have never had an issue even when the firing pin channel was dirty.

I had too many to count when I dropped to a 4# striker spring and Jager lightened and extended striker. went back up to 4.5#'s and has been working as intended ever since.

My preferred set up is an extra power trigger return spring, lighter plunger spring, and a Ghost ultimate 3.5 connecter. I do not change the striker spring. I tried that in the past and ended up with light strikes on some harder primers. I guess it would not matter if the pistol was strictly a range or competition gun. I have used this type of setup since 2006 on my G17s, G19s, and one G26.

I did buy a Vanek trigger bar back when they were selling them individually. It made the trigger break more crisp.

I will attempt to find my trigger pull gauge when I get back home. I can post some numbers for you from my set up.

I am used to single action triggers. Then I started carrying a Glock 43. Big difference. I ended up installing the Ghost 3.5 connector and that helped alot. I wouldn't want it to go any lighter though, at least not on a carry gun with no external safety...

In fact I've had some people say I shouldn't mess with the trigger on a carry gun at all. Normally I'd agree but with the new/improved trigger my accuracy has improved alot, and shot placement matters, so I think I'll stick with the "ghost" trigger...

srawl ....100% reliability is crucial....

First, don't add aftermarket parts.
Aftermarket "improvements" are the #1 cause of reliability problems in Glock pistols.

If you are having issues with light primer strikes.....take it to a Glock Armorer or send it back to Glock.

I thought limp wristing was #1

As for aftermarket parts, if I had to stick with stock Glock's. I wouldn't own a single one
