Any Glock owners

Been thinking about upgrading my G23 to a 3.5lb trigger assembly. It's not my primary carry gun and mainly used the range. Just curious if it is worth the money??

Looked at them a few years ago, but was worried about the no safety thing. Bought two SW 22s instead, ammo is much cheaper.

Just a couple of things. First, in order to get the "full monty", you need to buy the entire kit including springs and connector. Either that or purchase an entire tuned trigger assembly. By installing all the lighter springs along with the 3.5 connector you risk getting a lighter strike on the primers, thereby a misfire. If it's for range plinking only, might not be a problem. Prices run around $25-$35 bucks for the kit. Entire tuned assemblies run around $160.

I own a Gen4 19. Tag on the box said a 5.5lb trigger (Yeah, in my dreams). I went to YouTube and using a video there did the ".25cent trigger job". This smoothed things out a bit although it didn't lighten the pull. Next I got a 3.5 Ghost connector from Brownell's for about $10. The pull is now smoother AND lighter....just under 5lb. I can live with that. Many don't trust any connector other than factory, and Glock offers the "-" connector (4.5lb) which will set you back 24.95 plus shipping. Hope this helps.

Yep I was thinking of the Ghost piece for my G23. It's not bad on cost. I also looked at that trigger assembly from the Glock Store and since it was so high I was thinking about the Ghost piece. It looks easy to install. Also was thinking to replace the guide did with a tungsten one. Have you tried that or maybe stainless??

Dont know about the 23 but I shot a 19 with the 3.5 trigger pull and it was nice. Probably the best shooting glock I had ever shot.

Mine have all loosened up after a few thousand rounds. Just sayin.

I've got a clock in both of my trucks,several hanging around the house,several in the bedrooms....oh, you mean Glock!! Never mind.

I don't have any "shoeboxes" (That's what I call Glocks, because they are square and about as asthtetically pleasing as holding a shoebox to me. LOL). I'm a fan of the lighter trigger for target guns or even defense guns for guys that really shoot and train a lot. If the trigger finger never enters the trigger guard until SHTF, I'm not too concerned. For someone who doesn't train much, in a stress situation the light triggers can really cause a premature boom. My Smith & Wesson M&P ProSeries 40 has a 4# trigger, and short of my Kimber 1911's, it is my favorite trigger. I've not had a misfire with it and have probably put 1000 rounds through her, most of which was reloaded ammo. I don't think twice about reliability...and even with the light trigger I keep it as my home defense gun.

My uncle has put hundreds of trigger jobs on Glocks for people...I'll ask him what he uses.

Gotta give it to Glock though - They build a tank. If I was marooned on an island in the Pacific for the next 5 years with a bunch of angry cannibals (or Obama supporters) that wanted Filet-O-Splitshot for dinner...and could only take one handgun to keep them at bay...Glock 19 with a vest full of hi-cap mags no doubt.

I just talked to my uncle...said he has installed tons of the 3.5# Ghost and loves it. He runs that trigger on some of his own Glocks. Said that install wasn't bad.

He said a company named "Lone Wolf" also makes some good ones, but he prefers the Ghost.

Said he put a 2.2# Rocket on one of his and didn't like it as well as the Ghost.

Don the PD just gave me a new one last week and and it has a stiff trigger. It will loosen over time. The shooters on the PD said it take a bit to "break In." My last one did.

Do they let y'all modify your weapons or do you have to carry standard issue?
