Glock trigger pull

Some said a 3.5lb connector with 8lb nypd trigger spring gives ideal trigger pull for defense and carry. Truth to that? I understand it is subjective. I just want to make sure I didn't have the numbers mixed up.

Thanks.

That's what I run in my Glock 19. I like it. Makes it a little heavier pull, a semi-rolling break, and a faster/harder reset.

I tried it, didn't like it. Swapped the factory parts back in, right there at the range.

Your Mileage May Vary
 
I like my G21 and G30s just the wy they are, all original factory. I don't see a need to change anything.
 
I like - connector NY1 spring combo,it provides a very pronounced reset along with a smoother pull with less of a wall.
It is also said to be slightly more reliable because of the NY1 although I have never had a stock coil trigger spring break .
 
Rolling break and less of a wall ehh? I'm not sure it suits my taste. But for $25 I will give it a try. Thank you gentlemen.

I wouldn't say it's "ideal" without adding any qualifications to that statement. That said, I have a couple of Glocks set up that way and it works for me.
 
When I say rolling break, I mean like a Springfield XD. Mine feels almost identical to an XD but maybe a pound heavier, and a better reset. There is still a wall, but it doesn't break right at it. It rolls a little before it goes off.
 
The combo in question give the Glock a more DA feel to the trigger. Basically the same pressure all the way thru the pull

I like a lighter take up and a pronounced "wall" that allows me to break the shot at the time of my choosing. A 1911 trigger is what i cut my teeth on and that kind of trigger is still what i prefer.

YMMV
 
The only way to get used to any Glock is to pull the trigger about 50,000 times, no matter what combo of springs.
 
I had a G21 SF for a while.

The trigger never appealed to me and I discovered much of the 'mush' and vagueness comes from the connector arm flexing against the polymer frame. If you slowly pull the trigger you can actually watch and feel the plastic bowing out on the right side.

Had enough of that and bought a CZ.:p Ironically it's been more problematic but oh well.
 
I really like the regular stock Glock trigger. I prefer DA/SA of course, but as far as striker fired triggers go the stock Glock has always seemed to me to be quite nice.

In my opinion the whole appeal of the Glock trigger is the light weight, quick reset, and striker action. It delivers in spades as it is delivered to you the customer, I see no reason to modify Perfection.
 
Well, if you read it on the internet, it must be true.

A gunsmith I know has a neat trick to guarantee a customer will like their trigger.
If he decides the trigger is plenty ok as it is, he just lubes things a little, gives the gun back to the customer and tells them it needs a little break in time.
Sure enough, after they spend some time "breaking it in", they like their new trigger a lot better than the old one. ;)

Any trigger will seem improved when you spend more time with it.
We monkeys are infinitely adaptable.

Interesting. No fix for it, though.

Pull the trigger a thousand times, the rubbing surfaces get smoothed over, and (the brain controlling) your finger gets used to the trigger.

And, if you're using the gun for what it was made for, trigger quality is going to be the least of the things you fret over.

I have a Glock 17 and like it for what it is - reliable, rugged and durable. However, I hate the trigger and I'm not very accurate with it. On other people's advice I have tried a number of things to get it to my liking. Problem is the Glock just isn't designed to have a trigger that I like. I much prefer SAO hammer fired guns or even a good DA/SA hammer fired gun to the Glock trigger.

So, I'm on a quest for a light weight polymer framed Hi-Cap, 9mm that is hammer fired; traditional safety or decocker, no trigger dingus, no stupid grip safety, is as durable and reliable as Glock and for which parts are easy to find. I'm eyeballing the Grand Power K100, but I'm not sure about parts and magazine availability. And, it's too soon to know if they are as tough as a Glock. I'm not asking too much, am I?
 
Try a Ruger SR series; they have a much better trigger than any Glock I've tried.
They're a striker fired gun, not a hammer fired gun, but worth a look.
