Shadow9mm said:based on the way the glock trigger system works, a lighter pull weight will generally result in a mushier trigger with a less crisp break. assuming it is not a defensive handgun you can do a trigger job easily there are a ton of videos on youtube. in general you polish the trigger bar where it contacts the connector. they are stamped parts and generally fairly rough. a polish smooths things out nicely.
LOL... You used the term “crisp break” and Glock in the same sentence. What aftermarket triggers and connectors have you actually installed and used? I admit that I am a bit of a trigger snob and have guns with some excellent trigger pulls including a STI Edge, Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special, H&K P7M8, and Sig P210. No one really expects a single action break from a striker fired gun. I also have. Walther PPQ Q5 and my sister has the standard PPQ, which has really raised the bar for striker fired guns.
I am a strong believer in shooting what you carrying what you shoot. I am part of a practical shooting club and we get to run drills like shooting on the move, engaging multiple targets, Bill drills, Tueller drills, etc. The stock trigger wasn’t cutting it for me so I went with the Agency Arms trigger with a Ghost Pro connector. There is a LOT less take up before hitting the wall, and you get a cleaner break than the stock Glock trigger. The Ghost Pro has an over travel tab that minimizes over travel, but be sure to grind off enough or you might get light strikes. The roll pin That held the trigger safety on the Agency Arms trigger partially came out and I had to send it back. I decided to try ZEV and the pull through is less distinct than the Agency Arms, but somewhat smoother.
I know that a lot of people do not like the idea of messing with the trigger on carry guns, but I believe it is important to hit your intended target. I believe a great trigger may keep me from pulling a shot and hitting a bystander, or help me hit my intended target more quickly. You have to survive the encounter to face an over zealous DA. Our club meets twice a month plus I also go to the range myself occasionally, so I am VERY familiar with my gun. Can the light trigger lead to an accidental discharge? Not if I keep my booger hook off the trigger till I am ready to shoot!
