Aftermarket trigger connectors for Glocks

I've never messed with these before, but now I think I'll put on a 3.5 lb connector on my brother's Glock 29. So,


1. Is this something I can do myself, or is a gunsmith/armorer required?;
2. If myself, what tools do I need if any and what is the procedure?
3. Where's the best price on these?

Thanks a bunch.
 
I just installed a Glock 3.5 pound connector myself a few weeks ago. It's easy! All you need is the connector [duh!], a set of instructions (try www.glockmeister.com), and the right punch to remove the pins from the frame.
 
futo inu,
I'd be very carefull If I were you. It requires more than just poping the connector and inserting a 3.5lbs connector. A great deal of polishing small moving parts would have to be done to make it work properly. I was hesitent to do it at first. But after a glock armorer did it in front of me I am now able to do it with all my glocks. Soon you can visit lone wolfs web site and view the procedure through media player. e-mail me If you have any questions.
 
Oh by the way, if you want the best connector get the Battle clade which is the smothest, strongest and most resistent to corrosion from www.glockworks.com. Ask for chris. they go for $28. the cheapest connectors I have seen are for $14.
 
This is an easy upgrade. The instructions at the glockmeister site spell it out. One thing you need to do is polish the metal area where the connector and trigger bar contact. A Dremel tool with a felt wheel and jeweler's rouge or other nonaggressive metal polish will adequately smooth the area. After that, apply some Neco Molyslide to the contact points and you will be ready to reassemble. I wouldn't bother with the coated connector personally. You are paying for a coating that you will just polish off anyway. The connectors are pretty corrosion resistant anyway. Save your money and buy a less expensive connector from lone wolf distributing or Brownells.
 
I have a Scherer connector that works well. Putting one in could be part of the new college entrance exam that uses legos; it could be done by a future basketweaving major.
 
Futo Inu, is this going into a Carry gun? If it is, I would suggest you instead polish the stock connector as slickpuppy described first. If it is a "range" gun just be careful in your choice of connectors. Some of them are just a POS.

Thanks, guys. This is a range gun, not carry. I think I'll recruit some help as I'm not familiar with polishing, etc. - I got conflicting advice here, too, as you can see. I received today from Glockmeister a 3.5 lb connector and "competition" trigger spring. $27.00 plus shipping. Is theirs of good quality?
 
Futo,

Let Glockworks do a trigger job on your glock. Other than replacing the plastic sights, its the best modificaion you can make to any Glock, IMHO!

Futo,
In addition to polishing the contact area, polish the trigger bar, the entire connector, and the firing pin safety where it contacts the hump on the trigger bar. If you don't have a Dremel tool, use an electric drill with a qtip chucked in. It isn't rocket science by a long shot and the disassembly instructions on the Glockmeister website under technical information show exactly how to disassemble it. I have two of the Glockmeister connectors andcompetition trigger springs and they are fine. If you are trying to figure out what jewelers rouge is, it is a red compound that comes in a Dremel polishing kit. Other metal polishes you can use are Simichrome or Flitz. This is easy and really isn't worth sending out to be done unless you are totally incompetent with tools. Hey, I'm no mechanical genius and I did it.
