Considering tweaking the trigger on my Gen4 G26 but I'm not sure what effects to look for from various aftermarket parts.

The NY1 & NY2 trigger springs cause heavier trigger pull?
The minus connector gives you a lighter but less crisp trigger?
A heavier firing-pin safety spring makes for a lighter trigger?
What if I just want to remove some of the pre-travel?

:dunno:

I'm sure this stuff has been written up somewhere, Is there an FAQ I'm missing?

had a ny1 spring, and it got sloppy after one box of ammo, would not fire at all after that, the minus is the 4.5 i believe, the heavier firing pin spring is for harder priners, and the overtravel is what gets ya, u want that pretravel for last minute mind changes if u ever have to pull it

in my duty 17 i have the ghost tactical 5lb trigger connector, wolf 6lb trigger spring and 6lb firing pin spring, great feel,

in my 27 i have the glock 8lb (+) connector, thats it

The NY1 & NY2 trigger springs cause heavier trigger pull? Yes, heavier
The minus connector gives you a lighter but less crisp trigger? Exactly, plus longer reset
A heavier firing-pin safety spring makes for a lighter trigger? No, that would make the pre-travel heavier. A heavier TRIGGER spring makes the pull lighter
What if I just want to remove some of the pre-travel? To remove pre-travel, you need a trigger like the Vanek that has pre-travel adjustment, or you need a modified trigger housing with a pre-travel set screw. Messing with pre-travel can deactivate the safeties. I HIGHLY recommend you do not mess with pre-travel. Just shoot from reset.

Try out a Ghost Tactical 5.0 connector. I now put them in all my Glocks.

I agree, I love mine in my G29. That trigger is perfect, and still plenty safe for carry duty.

Take your gun to someone who knows Glocks and let them install the correct parts and go home with a gun you know is safe.

21 Carrier, I've found that the minus connector provides a shorter, faster reset, due to the angle of the connector. My preference when using the minus connector is to use it in conjunction with a NY1 spring, which provides a constant triggerpull and a much more discernable reset point, as to cost of slightly increased triggerpull weight (which I estimate to be around 6-6.5 lbs).

Best, Jon
