Has anyone used the ghost connector (3.5lbs) and did you notice any significant difference in trigger reset?

Reset feels the same.

Using it on g35 didn't notice a difference. Titanium safety plunger noticed a big difference in smooth trigger only.

Many of the reviews I've read about the ghost connector for the glock say it's slightly different but not 3.5 different

I do run some Ghost connectors, but the tend to have a mushier feeling reset.  I prefer the standard OEM Glock connectors, either the minus or the dot connector depending.  The dot connector seems to have a crisper reset. 

Caveat: I don't own one, just sayin' what my ears think they hear out there and my eyes see online.

I've heard that almost anything you do to a Glock is an upgrade; is that right?

(Not saying they're bottom-of-the-barrel, but seems that like 10/22s, there is a very healthy "aftermarket upgrade" market for those, compared to some more expensive polymer pistols that come already "upgraded" out of the box, say. IDK, just seems to me that there is lots of room for improvement if there is such a strong supply of upgrades out there)

Is it the more basic ones that are upgraded by folks? The few times I shot a bog-stock 9mm a few years back, it (the trigger) felt a little rough to my untrained hands.

Oh oh

I too found out the glock out of the box trigger is gritty. I tried to follow some of the .25 cent trigger job videos on utoob to try and lighten the pull. Trigger weight remains the same, but the break becomes smoother.

I just aquired a glock that had the ny1 trigger spring. That thing is terrible! I ordered a lone wolf 3.5 connector and some competition springs which were part of the kit. I changed the ny1 spring for a 6lbs. trigger spring. I polished the stock trigger connector and trigger bar. Trigger pull feels smoother. Not lighter.

I swiched out the stock connector and tried the lone wolf 3.5 connector and now the trigger feels a little mushy. At the moment the trigger breaks it feels crisp there. Over all the trigger spring and 3.5 trigger connector does cause a lighter trigger pull.

Some of the other springs in the kit included a lighter plunger spring and a lighter (4lbs.) firing pin spring. These springs were not changed. So I can't say if they really make a difference.

All I can say is my glock is the absolute best pistol. It's even better than a 1911 with a 2.5lbs trigger.

Truely, I need to keep telling mysef these things because I really can't afford the 1911's or even sig sauer's that some others have. I am happy that some of these upgrades don't break the bank and still make things a little better.

Learning to want (and function) the things I already have keeps me from coveting the things I don't have.

Aloha.

By that reasoning, the 1911 is the biggest piece of shit ever made.

The truth is that the Glock has so many aftermarket parts because it was designed as an easy to work on pistol.

A lot of other manufacturers build their guns so you're required to send your gun back to them or go to a gunsmith to change anything.

The Glock is perfect as a combat pistol as is, out of the box.

The trigger is different but once you get used to it, you learn to love it very much.

Interesting. Thanks for the perspective. Hadn't thought of it that way.

Reminds me of why my neighbor's kids like their Hondas. Easy to work on and change things out with all the aftermarket upgrades they can put on themselves.

If only more manufacturers had that philosophy.

Has anyone used the ghost connector (3.5lbs) and did you notice any significant difference in trigger reset?

if you want a shorter trigger reset, drill and tap a setscrew in to the front of the trigger housing.  put another one in the back of the trigger housing to get rid of over travel.

The lighter weight connectors change the angle on where the nose of the trigger bar rides so a lighter one will have a slightly longer trigger pull.  You can change the geometry of where the trigger pin is if you want to retain the trigger pull length but get a lighter trigger pull (can go down to under 1lb if your not careful of the combo you use with the springs and connector).

oh and you don't need a titanium firing pin safety, just melt the stock one on a belt sander by latching the end of the pin into a drill and then polish it up to a mirror shine.  its smoother and last much longer without the peening you eventually get from titanium.

all this stuff shouldn't cost you more then 30 bucks to make a stock glock go from the horrible stock trigger to a very smooth 2.5lb or less trigger with no pre and post travel.

I tried the ghost connector by itself first and didn't notice much of a difference. I then tried the ghost rocket 3.5 connector with the replacement springs and love it. Though it took a little time to make the adjustments to get it to where I like it but it was well worth it. The reset is shorter and the break is noticeably lighter. I also polished most of the internals for added measure. The thing runs like a champ, reliable and smooth.

I did not like the 2 diff ghost connectors i tried.  I really like the lone wolf 3.5lb connector. Feels good and crisp and combined with my phantom adjustable trigger  that has pre/over travel adjustments its really feels good.  Defiantly buy an aftermarket trigger. The glock trigger feels cheap and the trigger safety protrudes  out and digs into your finger so an aftermarket trigger thats metal and has a safety that sits flush when the trigger is pulled feels alot better.

be prepared to spend quite a bit for a  new/aftermarket trigger.  they are nice but not necessary for most people and purposes.  if you have the extra cash go right ahead, I'd buy another shotgun or handgun myself.
