In simple terms, the Glock OEM connector(s) would be best, IMO. Never tried a Ghost EVO but I tried regular Ghost 3.5 or "-" minus connectors. Don't remember exactly why but I didn't like it nor could get a response emailing them about adjustments. Tossed it and got the Glock. A couple of $$$ more but worth it.

What is it you want to do with the connector? Lighten trigger for range use or change something?

I replaced the connector, trigger spring and striker spring with a 4# one. Didn't like it. :eek: Went back stock. Only change I use is the Glock NY1 trigger spring due to its almost being indestructible and the Glock 'minus' connector to keep the gun at stock tolerances.
 
Anything I want to do connector-wise can be accomplished with an OE minus. From smoothing out a carry gun all the way to making a #2.0 match trigger 100% reliable with FSP, WSP or CCI.

The only thing it doesn't offer is travel stops, but I do that at the trigger itself.

You need to define specifically what you want to accomplish, and work out a solid plan to get there.

Mostly just looking for a smoother pull start to finish while keeping it realible. I personally could careless about shortening or lightening the pull but would like it to be smoother.

I have already polished all the internals.
 
I had the Evo on all my Glocks but since have gone back to OEM Minus/Dot connectors and the polished internals. My Evo set up was for SD and had the 6# FP & TS and the reduced power safety pin spring. It had a smooth pull (no wall) but a real quick reset. I went back to the OEM because I didn't really like the Evo set up. They also have the competition setup with a 4# FP spring.
 
Is the Ghost EVO Elite the current best connector for the G19? Has anyone tried the full spring kit? Any issues with light primer strikes?
What do you mean by "best"?

If your G19 has serious purpose as a weapon, all that you describe is horrifically bad bacause of the very significant loss of reliability that results. The "best" items for a Glock weapon are, without exception, Glock and only Glock OEM parts in the firing mechanism. Optional OEM MINUS or DOT connectors satisfy the reliability criterion.

If your G19 is a range toy only, then the definition of "best" changes radically because the reliability criterion vanishes. What you propose may be helpful. :)

It's apart of my EDC rotation but recently I have found myself carrying a Sphinx SDP Compact or CZ P-01. I find myself more comfortable with the realibilty of the CZ 75 line compared to striker fired in general. Glocks are proven but they can def have their hiccups.

But thought I would upgrade it a little bit while it's on the back burner.
 
For my carry guns I use the factory minus connector and the NY1 return spring. This gives me an ~6 pound trigger pull that is both smoother and more consistent, a more positive trigger reset, and most importantly it is a Glock factory approved setup that does not negatively effect reliability.
 
In all my Glocks I use to have and my now 1 and only Glock a G19 Gen 3 I have hand polished internals with 6lb LoneWolf trigger spring. Feels great, I tried the 3.5lb LoneWolf connector and I hated the mussy take up to point of break. Only other changes I made was ditched the serrated trigger for a G17 smooth face Gen 3 trigger and night sights with grip plug.
