KalashniKEV Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Hey guys, I recently picked up and installed a TTI Grand Master 3.5 trigger for the Gen 2/3 Glock. After installing on my Gen 3 Glock 17, I experienced no break. The trigger just goes all the way back to the frame. This was annoying because I had to remove the striker to get the slide off and re-install the back plate. I switched back to the OEM frame parts, put the slide on, and it passed a functions check... so the problem is not in the slide. I re-installed the TTI frame parts and same deal- no break. One more striker removal/tear down and back to all OEM parts and functions check is good. I'm confident in my Glock maintenance skills... so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong... could this be a symptom of a Gen5 kit in a Gen3 gun? Is it normal that these parts came in a little envelope with the TTI logo and a card backing and nothing is marked? Thanks for any help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KalashniKEV Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 OK, I did mixed configurations of parts over the last hour and traced the issue to the connector alone. I'm just going to go ahead and return it. I should probably stick to OEM anyway. /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Do you have an overtravel screw in your trigger housing? If so back it out. Also get a glock armorers plate. That lets you see what’s going on with the striker and sear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polymer Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) The tti connector is longer, making the trigger break further back. If your trigger bar or striker is altered/stoned/polished hard, trigger won't break. This is what happened to me. The tti connector makes trigger break so far back that you can't use any type of over travel screw/trigger housing.

I was thinking about this too- I gave it a good, hard squeeze for this reason before removing the backplate. Still no break! That's why I was thinking maybe they sent me a Gen5? The parts and package are not marked in any way. The pistol is an unmolested Gen3 G17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polymer Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 The connector for all the gens are the same as far as i know. Call them up, their customer service is really good. I would have this issue occasionally with my g34 but never in any other Glock. I decided to use another connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually prefer the idea of only messing with the connector too vs. changing out springs. The TTI kit is on it's way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverik Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I have three of the TTI connectors and one of them does exactly as you describe when I install it. The other two work great so I'm not sure what's up with that specific one. I emailed TTI about it but they never got back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience with them is that their email responses are very hit or miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novagunner Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I'd call TTI if you haven't given up on them. They have had good phone support the few times I've called them. They would prob just mail you out another connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobThomas Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) I had the same problem. Called TTI and they told me how to fix it. Mine was on a gen4, but the same exact problem was happening. Simple fix! Edited January 30, 2018 by JacobThomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobThomas Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Put connector in backwards and bend the connector making that bottom angle more obtuse. I just bent mine until it matched my stock connector. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited January 30, 2018 by JacobThomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSmith Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I’ve done this also. Not a bad idea to check the angle when installing a new connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
