FWIW, the Trigger Spring isn't the Trigger Reset Spring. It actually works against the reset process. The firing pin spring is what resets the trigger.

The Trigger Spring is the most frequent part on the Glock to break. Keep one and a punch in your range bag and you are covered for six sigma events when it comes to Glock failures. Or just change all your springs at say 20K round intervals.

Thank you for catching that. I have no idea why I typed “ trigger reset spring” as I know that’s not what it is. I correctly called it just the trigger spring from that point on and in other posts...no idea where that came from.

I think we all do the misnomer thing when we are slamming along typing in a stream of thought, less focused on names than what happened. When I see it, I just point it out so the less informed maybe get a more complete picture. Glad you got it sorted.

Three pages over a $1.80 spring .

And if you buy one and keep it in your bag with a punch, you will never break one.

Tell me about removing the coil? What does it do?

Less pressure on the underside of the cruciform, less drag on the trigger when pulled.

Thank you. So...is there a down side to this?

To me it is personal preference. The conventional trigger spring helps lessen trigger weight. When you put a NY trigger in, the tab on top presses on the underside of the cruciform creating a little drag on the trigger bar, so you not only don't have the help of the normal trigger spring, but have the added drag of the NY bit. A lighter spring in the NY trigger just exerts less upward pressure and feels more like a trigger without the normal trigger spring (less drag), a heavier spring in the NY trigger bit increases upward pressure, hence more drag.

The good thing about the NY trigger spring is without the normal trigger spring (that can break), you don't have as much countering pressure against reset, so reset feel is more positive, snappier. That means a lot to some people.

Okay, what is an NY1 trigger?

Your Google is broken too?

I always enjoy your posts. The voice of reason.

Pretty sure you are in the minority.

W0W! So sorry to have bothered you!

Not a problem, it won't happen again.
