NWfront Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 In my Gen 4's I went with a few different full kits with good results but the Gen 5's are back to stock. The kits just made them lighter but ruined the feel. I did install polished OEM minus connectors on the models that didn't have it from the factory.

I've read from a few people that the minus connector in the gen 5 glocks makes them feel "mushy". I haven't tried myself so I am curious your thoughts. Since you are running it, can you give me an idea of the overall feel? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it to be really smooth and has a nice break with the stock springs. Not sure what connector came in the comp kit I tried out but it gave it a mushy break that was just awful.

After I put some work into my grip I can shoot the stock trigger on my 34 just as accurate as the lighter aftermarket triggers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I noticed the same.

Tnbb33 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 The rock your Glock adjustable trigger is nice, you can take up over and pretravel. That in conjunction with lighter striker spring and connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the “-“ connector, beyond that I found the benefits of aftermarket triggers (in this platform) marginal and at times unreliable.

BranMan Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 For my carry gun, I leave the inside trigger components stock, but change out the trigger face. For a comp gun, I change everything, because the stock glock trigger is not very forgiving unless you train through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see why they’re nice though, for sure.

Heatstroke18 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Has anyone using a dk trigger system found a good trigger shoe that works with the trigger travel asjustments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakobi Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I use a Ghost disconnector, lightened springs, and polished or honed all contact surfaces. All that got it down to about 3 lbs on my gen 4 G35. The Ghost disconnector takes care of overtravel so the only thing some of the other triggers out there would buy me is pretravel adjustment or a different trigger shoe and those thing don't bother me enough to do anything about it.

Jamese35 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Save your selves the hassle and head acha and just buy a Johnny glock trigger. You'll be happy. I bought my first one and now I have him working me one that's flat faced and all the goodies for my custom DCPrecision glock build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwest3Gunner Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I have had pretty good luck with the Zev Fulcrum trigger that came in the gun when I bought it. For me it was light and day difference between that and a polish job with a ghost 3.5 connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perttime Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 7 hours ago, donttreadonme said: Stock glocks okay for beginners? Of course. Just... as people say, the stock Glock trigger is rarely all that good: requires more care and dry fire practice to keep your hits good. I guess the stock trigger on my ancient Glock is better than most.... People often want to replace the sights too, especially if a fiber optic front sight is wanted.

anbrumm Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) For my Glock 19 I put in a - connector, but in my G34 that I used in production I used a drop in DK trigger kit that brought the pull down to about 3.5 lbs. It made the gun very enjoyable to shoot. Edited December 10, 2018 by anbrumm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoakam Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I just polish mine and put in the 3.5 connector. I've seen after market triggers literally fall into pieces during a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatstroke18 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Update. I put a DK dropin in my Glock 35 with a 4# striker spring. I’ve since gone back to a stock recoil spring and a stock striker spring and have resolved some feed issues I was dealing with. Not 100% sure how the striker spring was contributing to the issue but, I don’t notice much difference. Only at 20+ yards shooting partials I have to take more time because the trigger is a tad stiffer, but not noticeable anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason your pistol should not run with a 4.5# FPS if you are running a stock trigger spring . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helios Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I have a Johnny Glock trigger in my CO match gun and it is absolutely awesome. I get light strikes with CCI, Win, and Rem primers when using the 4.5# striker spring. Feds are 100% though. I also have guns with the OEM “-“, Zev v4, and Lone Wolf 3.5# connectors and I like them all but none compare to the Johnny Glock. I’ve tried the Zev Pro and TTI connectors and didn’t care for them. In all the guns I use a reduced plunger spring and do the $0.25 trigger job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamj Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Maybe I tinker too much since I leave hardly anything stock. I installed a vanek custom classic trigger kit. It was a huge improvement over the stock trigger though I think you can easily be competitive with a totally stock pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FillYerHands Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) FWIW I have been shooting my Gen2 G17 for 20 years now. It has the stock trigger with a 25 cent trigger job, plus the minus connector. I've shot friends' Glocks with lots of different mods and I honestly don't see the point in aftermarket trigger stuff. (Sights are another story for another thread, I think we all agree.) When I'm doing real match shooting, I can't tell between a stock connector and an aftermarket. My hands and my eyes just work together and put the shots on target, and I really can't feel it. Edited January 10, 2019 by FillYerHands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me add that the only people I've not seen "Glock Perfection" fulfilled are those who have substantially "upgraded" parts particularly in search of a better trigger pull. Whenever a guy has malfunctions at our local USPSA, particularly light strikes, it turns out he modified the fire control in one way or another. The time wasted solving the malfunctions almost always blows up the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
