bigbrowndog Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) On a Glock, If I want to change the trigger pull from an 8# to a stock 3.5-4 pound, what is the easiest way to do it, will simply purchasing new trigger disconnect do it or what? trapr Edited November 11, 2009 by bigbrowndog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Yes a 3.5 lb connector will get you a much lighter trigger pull, however it may not be exactly 3.5 lbs. But it certainly wont be 8 lbs anymore either. If you want a trigger much lighter than 3~4 lbs you will need to make many other modifications to the trigger assembly.

Aircooled6racer Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Trapr: Get a Lone Wolf 3lb connector if you are going to use stock everything else. They work well and give a crisp reset. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Glock has actually renamed the 3.5 pound connector "the 4.5 pound connector" because they realized that's much more realistically what you can expect if you change out the connector and nothing else. Going to a Wolff "4 pound" firing pin spring (instead of the factory stock firing pin spring) along with the 4.5 pound connector can easily get trigger pulls down into the 3 to 3.5 pound range. A bit of conservative polishing to the trigger system contact points can take it down even a bit more, though IMO the primary advantage of polishing is getting rip of grit and staginess, and making the trigger stroke itself much smoother.

Braxton1 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 All of this depends on HOW the gun was given an 8 lb. trigger.... If it has a "+" connector in it (the 8 lb. connector), then it is just a matter of a connector change. If it has an unmarked connector in it, then it may have the 8 lb. New York trigger spring. One would have to change the NY spring out for the regular coil-type trigger spring and also install a "-" connector to get the light trigger. As mentioned before, the "25-cent Trigger Job" would also be a big help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Eric +1 See how you like the stock assembly with just the Lonewolf connector. If you still want to go lighter, there are lots of other things you can change, but the connector makes a big difference, is quick, easy, and wont affect the reliability of the gun at all.

bigbrowndog Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 thanks guys, I'll try it all, starting with whats simplest, the connector. It may have a NY spring in it, if so I assume I can order a replacement from Brownell's? trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Eric What Eric said. The stock Glock 3.5# is rather mushy in comparison. And if you have the NY spring assemblage, just pull it and replace with a standard Glock OEM spring. You can get the LW connector and the stock spring from Lone Wolf, with cheap postal shipping rates on small parts Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also order trigger springs from Wolff Gunsprings, Glockmeister, TopGlock, LoneWolf Distributors, Glockworx, and a host of others.... Most of those folks would also sell you other parts; Wolff is pretty much my go to company for gun springs --- but then they're in the same state. Back when I was living in NJ, I placed an order and asked for overnight shipping to get something in time for a match. They called to let me know they'd get the order out that day, and that it could go ground, as they were in the same UPS zone. I was willing to spend extra to make sure they shipped that day, they realized my concern and called to let me know they could my desired delivery date at a much lower cost. That's service.....

hueycrew Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 I removed my "+" marked connector from my G35 and replaced with the Lone Wolf 3.5. Very much improved. Take up is still the same but at the break point, much improved. I used the gun in an LEO multigun match last weekend. Its much more pleasant to shoot. All other springs are factory weight, no fancy stuff. The 0.25 cent trigger job helped too. Need new sights to replace the glock night sights though.
