Patrick Scott Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hello all. Its been a long time since I have done any Glock tinkering and would like some critique on my planned trigger/action setup for a 80% frame range toy I'm working on. Not looking for super racy, needs to be safe and relatively reliable. For reference I am capable of polishing stock parts and installing any components. When I shot Glocks in Production I ran the Glocktriggers.com Vogel kit and liked that, but Id like to keep with the 80% theme and do as much work myself as possible. This project does not need to meet any competition rule requirements. I'm planning on starting with factory stock Glock internals, adding a Ghost connector(liking the looks of the PRO 3.3), 6lb trigger spring, and polishing. I will buy and install striker springs as I feel necessary for popping primers I would like to add a fancy flat aluminum trigger shoe, which ones do you recommend? Strikers... what are the good ones/does it matter? Firing pin safety plunger and spring recommendations? Am I leaving anything out? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEM firing pin polished. Polish firing pin safety. Avoid the 6# trigger spring if it is a Gen 4, May cause trigger reset issues. Federal ammunition is easy to ignite with lightweight firing pin springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 What JPB55 said. Except if you like a smooth rolling break try a TTI connector. For a striker I've had good luck with the IDP, then if you want you can run the 4 lb striker spring with any primer. This combo should get you into the 2.5-3lb range.

BRadcliffe Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 In the slide I have the zev striker, 2lb spring, and safety plunger spring in mine with a polished up plunger. Its been flawless so far with maybe 2-3k rounds. The bottom end is just polished with a glock minus connector. It averages out to 3lbs exactly like this.

Your firing pin spring is actually a 4# spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRadcliffe Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Right, but Zev calls it 2lb. I'm not sure why, I would just be guessing using their whole kit the trigger pull is supposed to be 2lbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Scott Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Thank guys. So far I have an OEM Gen 3 parts kit coming with a OEM 5.5# connector and a Ghost Ultimate 3.5# connector, I think somewhere I have a OEM 3.5# connector. Also coming is a 6# trigger spring and IDP trigger shoe just for fun. I think I should be able to find a combo of these parts that is to my liking after some polishing. As far as the top end, right now I am thinking of going with a polished factory striker safety and an IDP or polished OEM striker with a 4.5# striker spring.

Those so called 3.5# connectors are actually 4.5# which lower the trigger pull weight by approximately 16oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Scott Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Yeah, been into Glocks enough to know those connector ratings don't mean what they say they mean. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
