Need Advice On Lightening Glock Trigger

[Glocked N Loaded]

Hello fellow high roaders. Let me start by saying that I really like this site and the folks on it. I especially enjoy the lack of hatefullness and know it all types. Now, on to my question.

I own a gen 4 glock 19 that I use strictly for range fun and would eventually like to get into shooting events (GSSF, IDPA, etc.). Let me say that this gun is not a carry gun, nor is it used for home defense. It is strictly for range fun. With this said, I would like to lighten up the trigger considerably, without causing the dang thing to go full auto or anything crazy like that. I was hoping for some input on the most effective ways to complete this objective. If yall have personal experience with different parts, manufacturors, distributors, etc. that would be awesome.

I have a little modification experience with this glock as I have previously installed a 3.5# trigger connector and a NY1 spring when I though I was going to use it as an EDC. I think that I will be christmas listing a G26 for my carry gun (Even though I am my own Santa, so I guess I'll have to sit on my own lap for that one).

Glockworx/Zevtech:
-comp spring kit (striker, fp safety, trigger)
-ti safety button
-polished lite striker

Replace aftermarket trigger springs frequently, they're cheap.

The Zevtech 3.0 race connector is by far the best out there. But in some Glocks it goes off too early and isn't safe. When your familiar with the Glock trigger operation, cut up a extra slide back plate so you can see the action during dry fire testing. My 23 didn't like the 3.0 race connector, my 22 loves it. For now stick with your 3.5 connector.

Keep in mind that because it's a race gun deos not mean you can go any more agressive with your settings than a CCW gun. A IDPA gun get drawn and aggressively handled a zillion times more often than than any CCW gun. My CCW and comp setups are similar.

Glocked and Loaded:

Put those trigger connectors side by side and you'll see the only difference is the angle were the trigger bar pushes on.

Yes, the 3.5# pulls lighter but is much more "mushy" without a distinct feel for the let off.
A trigger that stacks up to let off is easier to stage for follow up shots.
More so than a lighter, longer travel, mushy feeling, hard to stack setup.

Probably way more info than you need but parts are cheap to try different combos.
Becoming familiar with any setup, through dry firing, will go a long way to improve your shooting.

Whole books have been written on this and people who compete, shoot a lot, have much more detailed trigger tricks, mods, etc.
But nothing is better than being famiiar with YOUR Setup through dry firing and shooting.
That's what makes groups smaller, not the parts.

Sorry, no magic parts or smithing that I know of.

Of coarse, all this is just my opinion, based on my experiences.
YMMV
