I voted Lone Wolf because that's the one I have in my G21. It came very smooth and somewhat "polished"...(It was brand-new.).

 

I've installed numerous Ghost connecters with no issues. A local gun shop had Lone Wolf connecters in stock and I tried one. I'm sure it was a fluke but it was gritty and the triger pull was heavier than stock. I polished the bearing surfaces and it was good to go.

 

I've tried a couple different brands and found the 3.5 RockYourGlock connector to be great.

I've also had one of their cross drilled ligthened strikers crap out on me under 200rds.

I've used the Lone Wolf before but I'm currently liking the RYG connector. Opinion fine print: RYG is located down the road from me. Your mileage may vary. Don't swim after eating. Consult your doctor for erections lasting longer than 4 hours.

 

Glock when available would be my first choice as it's factory and seems to be in spec every time I've tried them.

Ghost would be my second choice as they've functioned pretty well through the years when I've used them.

And though people speak highly of Lone Wolf, I do question if they even have quality control at times, especially when it comes to their connectors as at least half of them I've tried through the years have produced some of the worst trigger pulls I've experienced with a Glock. They have been good in swapping out parts and trying to get an in spec connector out to people.

Tried a Scherer connector once for a few months, but don't recall whether it was anything to write home about or what.

 

I don't know who makes the best, but I went with Ghost for mine. I made my decision by reading posts here in Glock Talk and elsewhere. So far, I'm really happy.

 

I prefer the Ghost 3.5 drop in by the slimmest of margins.
It's ever so slightly glassier than OEM Glock "-".

But I always recommend the OEM Glock '-' connector with NY1.
And may well return to that combination myself at some point.

Being all Glock OEM has it's advantages.

UPDATE:
After some thought,
the difference in feel between Ghost 3.5 drop in
and Glock "-" connector is so slight.
It just doesn't outweigh the advantages of having an all OEM Glock trigger.

I've switched my EXO G27-357 back to Glock OEM "-" and NY1.

 

Never tried any other then factory Glock but with a .25 cent trigger job and polish the connected it feels good to me

 

Doesn't Charlie Vanek use LWD connectors in his trigger kits?

Same reason for me^^^^^

 

I had the Ghost drop-in in my G17. I had to try and adjust it after a while and it never got "fixed". :rant:

So when I went to put 3.5 connectors and NY1 trigger spring combos in my G30, 19 and 26, I went with 2 Glock OEM and a Scherer. All fit right first time and needed no adjustment.

Glocks were most expensive and I only tried the Scherer because they were on sale for around $11 iirc but it seems a good choice.

 

Doesn't Charlie Vanek use LWD connectors in his trigger kits?

Yes, on almost all of them. He can provide an OEM connector if necessary. The one shown broken was run by an Instructor who is known for punishing pistols by not cleaning or lubing them as most shooters do.

 

I have OEM from Glockmeister on both my 23 and 37 and LOVE them. Not even willing to try a different one

 

I have used LW and ZEV connectors with great success. If I could have voted for both, I would have.

 

Any feedback on the ZEV Glockworx V4 Race Connector?

The V4 Race Connector is further refined for 2012. We invested in a new manufacturing process allowing us to make some geometry changes we could not before. The material of the connector has also been changed to further improve trigger reset. The V4 connector when used in conjunction with our competition spring kit will give you a 3 lbs trigger pull while maintaining a crisp positive reset. New improved geometry and material improves trigger pull weight, reset, and reliability.

• 3D CAD designed
• Precision cut and machine bent for greatest consistency
• New proprietary material for improved spring tension
• 3 lbs trigger pull

 

Any feedback on the ZEV Glockworx V4 Race Connector?

i used it...meaning i installed it. it was wobbly in the trigger housing and it felt like mush mush so out it went. not sure they are all like that or if my trigger housing is just old with sloppy worn plastic.

 

Glock dot connector, polished not sanded! It takes some work but it works for me on my Glock's! I have also used the Glock - connector.:supergrin:

 

I was running a Ghost 3.5 connector, and I picked up the ZEV Tech Standard Trigger Kit and installed it today.

The overall trigger pull is shorter, but I was expecting more out of the Zev V4 Race Connector. The pull weight and feel is about the same as the Ghost, but the reset is much longer on the V4 (almost to the point of where the trigger pull starts) and its not as crisp.

I ended up keeping the rest of the Zev trigger kit in, but I'm using the Ghost 3.5 connector.

 

I have run the Glock '-' connector, and it is fine... but the Ghost Rocket I consider to be superior. The pull is slightly lighter even than the Glock and it has an overtravel tab, which limits overtravel and you can reset quicker. You do have to use a dremel or file to reduce the tab to fit your gun, but that's pretty simple.

I have tens of thousands of rounds with this connector with no problems, I have 3 USPSA shooting buddies who also use it, along with the competition spring kit you can get with it.

These *are* competition specific guns, not carry guns. We're looking for best trigger at price. The super expensive ZEV, etc kits might be slightly better, but at $300 or whatever? No thanks. The Ghost Rocket, spring kit, and polish job gets you an honest 3 pounds with minimal overtravel.... for maybe $35 plus some time/labor. Worth it for me.

I personally like Ghost Rocket connectors. If installed correctly they are by far superior to any Glock connector in my opinion

 

Several years ago, I tested five different connectors in my primary carry gen3 G23. For my purposes and requirements, I found the Glock 3.5 connector (part #00135) to be the best of the lot. Frankly it was close, but what pushed me over the edge was the fact that it was a Glock connector. There were actual felt differences between the connectors, that's for certain. But Glock's connector won out. I have this connector in six of my Glocks.

 

I bought a Lone Wolf 3.5 connector this fall. When I installed it, it felt a little "grindy" where the top of the connector was rubbing against the slide and there would be noticable drag when pulling the slide back. I called Lone Wolf and they explained to me that Glock has such sloppy tolerances that they build their gun by taking different parts from a grab bag until they get a set that works together. They said I should just go shoot it and the parts (connector and slide) would wear down. Well, I don't buy it. I'm not willing to shoot my previously perfectly working gun until metal wears down enough to slide better. I threw the connector in the trash, went back to an OEM Glock 5# connector and haven't looked back.

What you're feeling is that little cam tab on the top of the connector contacting a ramp in the slide. This tab on the LW connector is a little more pronounced than on the Glock connectors and is one of the reasons I didn't care for the LW connector. You can really feel this when you first begin to move the slide rearward. You can hone it down a little but I would be very careful doing something like this since that tab is absolutely necessary in the gun's functioning.
