Something weird happened the other day at the range. I have been playing around recently with various connectors and trigger springs on my Glock 19. After hearing numerous horror stories of the abysmal NY trigger setup and since I was replacing the s- spring with the NY coil spring anyway I decided to go ahead and get the NY connector as well. The trigger is much heavier (duh) but has a much quicker and more positive reset than it did with the standard and 3.5 pound connector. After a quick range session I found that I shoot much better with the heavier setup. Its really weird to me because I shoot 1911s and normally with them the lighter the pull the tighter the grooups. Its the exat opposite with the Glock. Anyone else here find that they shoot better with the heavier connector and spring?

It was just the opposite for me with my 32.
I shot it well with the stock set-up, but now its sweeet with the target disconnector.
Helped sell me on the gun, in fact.
Mmmm...Glock-32...

If you're happy with the NY#1 trigger spring and the (I presume) 8# connector, more power to you. However, in Glock Armorer's School the instructor said to avoid that combination. The heavier connector "or" the NY#1 spring would give a heavier but acceptable trigger pull. He said if you (or your department) wanted a really heavy trigger - snickered here and implied only departments which didn't train their people would want this - the NY#2 was the other option. YMMV!
I have heard that the eight pound connectors were causing the flat-wire trigger springs to fail. I don't knok if the coil springs are having this problem. But then again, there are many folks with a computer and no idea what they're talking about. For example,

"What kind of things happen with this combination of 8 lb. connector and NY trigger?"
The instructor in Armorer's School had us install this combination, after telling us that is was to be avoided. About half the class couldn't get the combination to fire (firing pin go forward). Those of us who did get it to go off found the trigger pull to be so bad as to be undescribable.
By the way, it isn't a "NY trigger", rather it is the NY #1 or NY #2 trigger spring. The trigger is the same part, it's the pull that changes.

This combo put too much stress on the crusiform and fails to operate the pistol reliably and safely. NY1 & NY2 use 3.5 & 5 lb connectors. Coil spring use any connector. I like standard coil with 5lb connector others like the 3.5 connector with NY1 which give a consistent 6 pound pull, it's not two stage like the coil spring.
Those of you who are changing connectors be very careful how you remove it. The old way is to use a screwdriver very gently from the top. The new way is to use the glock tool from behind. Glock changed the way it's removed, they made a round hole in the back of the connector slot because of the damage people were doing with the screwdriver. If you loosen the connector in it slot you need a whole new part.
