Erroneously calling the Trigger Spring a "Trigger Return/Reset Spring" is a no never mind issue from people who do not claim to be Glock experts.

Learned it, here, as well. The light bulb came on when someone explained the trigger spring 'helps' pull the trigger. At the beginning of my Glocking, I didn't understand why a stronger trigger spring "lightened" the trigger pull.

I have never had a Glock trigger spring break but I do practice preventative maintenance.

I cannot recall the last time, or any time, we’ve had to replace one of these in any of our agency glocks.

The TMH for Gen5/M/G42/G43 incorporates an integral coil TS that compresses and has no hooks. TS spring failure should be very very very rare.

Thanks Mike, the exact information I was looking for in this thread.

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

Well going to the range this morning. Will try out the NY1 trigger spring. I will be taking both my G-19s, so I can compare the two and get the feeling of the difference between.
Will probably decide that I like NY1 best, and not be able to get any more.

I’ve owned or had issues a number of Glocks over the years. The only time I had a broken trigger spring was with my original 17. I tend to swap them out every few thousand rounds. I played with the NY-1 and variations and decided I prefer the standard 5.5. I can see both the benefits and the problems to having an NY-1. Regardless, if it’s in your EDC, a judicious amount of dry firing is what I would prescribe to get used to the new pull. While it only ups the pull weight a couple of pounds (and gives a more DA revolver-like trigger), it’s just going to be enough different to throw off your shooting unless you’re really concentrating. Incidentally, if you like it, I’d suggest converting all your pistols. Furthermore, stick with the standard connectors...

If you put an aftermarket spring in there it will break in like 5 minutes.

I have fired thousands of rounds through 25 glocks since 1991 some are all stock and some I have a duty carry or completion carry spring in them. Never any issues with any of them.

When I get my 19x that gun may stay all stock?

If it breaks every 4, 7, or 10 years then just replace it every year or 2 for peace of mind.
They are so cheap and easy to install and for me it sure beats the heck out of the NY trigger.

The NY1 trigger with a - connector give a stock like trigger pull weight of 5.5 lbs with a nice firm reset and less chance of breakage. I put that combo in all my Glocks.

Oh and one more thing.... all my connectors have been changed too without any issues giving my guns a smoother pull for sure.

Funny stuff now isn't it?

I've always thought the standard trigger spring was an obvious weak stop. They really should have designed it with a standard coil spring that compresses, instead of a rather small spring that you in effect stretch out. It is true that the NY, and NY plus springs are probably much more durable. However, I was forced to use the 12 lb spring , by my agency , until the day I retired. It makes the trigger pull much harder, and more likely to move the front sight off , especially when shooting fast. I decided to switch to the 8 lb version upon retirement. But, while somewhat softer, it still retained another annoying characteristic; these springs cause the trigger to return very forcefully against your finger every time you fire, which also is detrimental to accuracy, Most of the peace officers I've seen over the years aren't much on practicing anyway, and making the firearm harder to hold on target just make a lot of them even worse. As a good many of my fellows NEVER spent a dime of their own money to buy ammo they didn't have to have for carry, and certainly not to go to the range with, they standard comment when requalification came around was ; "I hope I pass". Every time, too. And some of them only cleaned their firearms the day before they went , because someone was going to inspect it! Bottom line here is I have replaced the rather mussy plastic triggers with metal, flat faced triggers, that use standard springs. I am using Wolf springs, and have a good supply. I'm a lot happier with this set up.

Sarcasm sir. Nothing more then that. Go read post #7 of this thread.

Installing a NY1 spring alone will give you a 8# trigger pull. Installing a minus connector will reduce that by 8oz. in a Gen 4/5 Glock and 16oz. in earlier Glocks.

When I ran a task force range, I had a couple of departments that mandated the NY-1. In theory it should not have made much difference, but in practice seemed to spawn a lot of trigger control problems. While dry firing would have helped, it doesn’t get done for a variety of reasons. Those departments switched over to the standard 5.5, and I saw scores go up, at least for a while.

If you just use the NY1 spring you will get 8# ± trigger. If you also use a GLOCK (very important...) "-" (minus) connector you get back to 5.5 - 6.0 # trigger weight. It is approved by Glock for CC use.
