I got to fire my friend's G19 that has the "NY trigger" modification. My friend is a retired NYPD police officer. I found that the overall stroke felt smoother in that it did not seem to stack right before it breaks like my stock G27 does. The reset also felt crisper to me. I am not sure what the NY trigger modification entails but I am thinking of doing it to my G27. Any of you familiar with the NY trigger and if so what is your opinion of it? I learned to shoot on revolvers so maybe that is why I liked it.
"NY TRIGGER" Glock 19

When I bought my first Glock, a Glock 22 when they first came out, it had an NY trigger. I couldn't get that monstrosity out fast enough.
I have a 3.5lb. Ghost connector in it and my Glock 19 now. I can actually hit something with it.
The "NY Trigger" was what the NYPD substituted for proper training.

Many combat pistol shooters consider an NY-1 trigger to be superior to the factory standard coil spring trigger. (For one thing that Glock will continue to fire even with a broken spring; and, yes, the reset is quicker than factory standard, too!)
All you need is a Lone Wolf 3.5# connector and an olive-colored NY-1 Trigger Spring.
These two items and a Glock Armorer's Tool will do it for ya! Installation takes less than 5 minutes.

They seem to make plenty of sense in a defensive gun, which is the reason most people buy a Glock in the first place.

Great combo with the NY1 and the 3.5lb connector! Shorter pull, crisper break, and better reset all add up the best trigger job under $20 you can do in yes, less than 5 minutes.

I have the #3.5 Connector only and find the trigger pull nice.

+1.
That and the "$0.25 trigger job" work great for me. Smooth, but not dangerously light.

No. By reducing the weight of the connector you, also, reduce the weight of the overall trigger pull.
There are 2 NY triggers. When matched to a standard 5.5# connector the NY-1 = 7.5/8.0#'s of pull, and the NY-2 = 10.0/12.5#'s. The original purpose of the NY triggers was to give Glock pistols a more, 'revolver like' trigger pull. The real (discovered) advantage, however, is the smoother more consistent trigger pull and faster reset that an NY trigger produces.

The NY1 with the standard connector is around 8lbs. When you add the 3.5lb connector I think the trigger pull drops to around 6lbs which is only slightly more than the standard 5.5lb trigger. If adding the NY1 trigger was intended to make the trigger pull heavier and "safer" then adding the 3.5lb connector with a shorter pull defeats the purpose. It might make a smoother trigger pull but that isn't the reason why it was created.

Does it really matter why it was created?
To my mind, the various Glock (and aftermarket) trigger springs and connectors are a good thing. What's not to like about low cost, drop in, parts that give the user the option to test,tailor, and adjust as needed the pistol(s) to their own needsFWIW, the NY1/3.5 connector has a heaver than stock take up pull with a trigger break pull that is closer to stock. I refer this combination for IWB carry of my G27. Here is a link to some testing that was done with the various trigger spring/connector combos: EVALUATION OF TRIGGER PULLS

I have the NY1 and 3.5lb connector on my G35 and love it. It's not flimsy, but very firm slack on the trigger pull. I'd want to put it on all my Glocks.
