EDC??

I think 3.5 Lbs. triggers are a little light for defensive carry guns. Many PD's will not allow them on duty guns. I had one in my personal gun and didn't like it. A five pound stock Glock trigger is really quite light when the adrenalin is pumping. Actually I think they are just about perfect.

you still have to actuate the safety mechanism to fire the gun, unless you shaved the swingy arm thing. therefore, a 3.5 pound connector isnt going to cause any problems. that said, i do advise to use ONLY the connector. ittl smooth out the trigger pull and lower it to about 4 pounds.

I agree, 5 lbs, is PLENTY light enough for EDC.... JMHO .

Have

less force to pull=less chance you will pull your shot and miss....because trust me, in the heat of the moment you will not have the perfect "range" grip, finger placement on trigger, etc so even that tiny bit (2lbs) may help from pulling off target... Plus the ghost kit will smooth out the trigger some.

I don't get we're this 3.5 lb weight is "unsafe" and "in the heat of the moment you could pull that 3.5 lbs on accident"... If that's the case then you need to train on not having your finger on the trigger until your ready to shoot, pretty basic.

I mean if you have your finger on the trigger and you do "jump" and pull the trigger ("on accident") then (I'm not a scientist) I'm sure it's still over 5.5lbs anyway.

 

[TAT7]

Having said that ^^^^^ I do believe 3.5-3.75lbs is the lowest you should go for SD carry....I won't go less anyways

 

[downzero]

I like a trigger as light as possible. I also don't put my finger on the trigger when I'm not intending to shoot and I often carry single action pistols. I wouldn't sweat carrying with a 3.5 lb connector one bit. In fact, it's just about the only thing that makes a Glock tolerable.

I use 3.5 lb connectors in all my carry glocks. As TAT7 said it decreases the pull weight and increases you chance of hitting your target.

If you know how to keep your finger off the trigger lightning your triggers pull weight shouldn't matter.

I tend to leave triggers alone, but I often carry a g34/35 with 3.5# connectors

I've had and carried both. Can't really tell much difference. The overtravel in the Glock trigger is what I struggle with much more than the pull weight. Working on trigger reset, and having less trigger slop has helped me more than anything. Also hard focusing on the front sight post rather than the rear.

I carry my 17 everyday. I have 3.5lb trigger and I've never had an issue. Have to use that safety between your ears and in your index finger.

life is too short to waste on a crappy trigger

 

[Rob Watson]

I have a 3.5 lb on my cc 26 and my G21 duty. Very nice, night and day difference, and as far as the adrenaline part any well and properly trained shooter, either police or civilian, knows that the finger isn't on the trigger til the sights are on target.

 

[NHT3]

All my Glocks have 3.5 connectors and are 3.5 or less with the RCBS trigger gauge. Personally, I wouldn't have them any other way.

After tomorrow, my new G20SF will have a Rocket 3.5 trigger kit in it, and I will get back to ya on the issue.

 

[Hornett]

I always change the connector to 3.5# on my Glocks also.
You gotta be able to hit what you're shooting at.

 

[D2VW14_20]

I use 3.5 rocket. 6lb firing pin spring. Trigger spring in my 33. EDC

I use the 3.5, 4lb spring, trigger spring in my 23 (not EDC)

The reset on both is much better. I just wish some of the travel could be tightened up.

 

[sartwell]

Just finished installing my 3.5 lb. connector in my G36. It feels good but won't be able to get to the range until Mon. to see how it shoots.

I had the pleasure today of meeting NHT3, and getting to experience his work as a Certified Glock Armorer. He installed a Rocket 3.5 connector kit in my G20SF and the difference is............night & day!

He is a great guy, and he went WAY above and beyond to be helpful, not to mention, he is the most reasonably priced gunsmith I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

I have owned everything from Jennings to HK's and have had work done by other smiths, but my new Glock has the BEST trigger I have ever owned!

THANK YOU CHARLIE!
I highly recommend him as a gunsmith, and it doesn't hurt that he is a fine gentleman too.

Funny thing is, I never thought I would ever own a Glock, and this 10mm may be my favorite pistol of all time, live and learn!

So not to totally thread jack, I will gladly use this gun with it's new 3.5 trigger as an every day carry piece!

I ordered the 3.5lb wolf trigger connector!!!
