A lot of folks proclaim "I only shoot stock Glocks". And while there are many reasons for taking that approach, there are many 3rd party parts that can make a Glock operation smoother, more efficient and certainly more comfortable. I think my 43x is pretty well set up now, having replaced the shoe with a Johnny Glock flat face shoe, which is just flat out better in every regard than the OEM shoe. It's got a standard Glock trigger bar, and while I currently use a Taran connector rather than the OEM, they are almost identical in function and design except the Taran is more refined in manufacture and a bit crisper in the break. That leaves the striker spring which is currently a 4.5 pound spring. No light strikes in well over 500 rounds. The 43x has a consistent pull between 4.0 and 4.1 pounds with that setup.
I have both a 5 pound and 5.5 pound spring in my kit, so either spring could replace the 4.5 pound spring in about 90 seconds and I think with a heavier spring would bring the trigger pull up to 4.5-4.75 pounds. Is there any practical reason why I would want a heavier trigger pull?
