Hi Inspector, I have no experience about this but I had read somewhere that a light trigger pull is not safe in the event of home defense situations... something about being careful with letting it go below 5 lbs.

With adrenalin high and walking around in the dark, I hear that one might end up pulling he trigger inadvertently if startled, possibly shooting something or someone unintentionally.

That was the thing I thought about when I first read that comment from KK.

Howzit JI808,

I agree with you and the blanket statement made by KK about lightening a trigger pull will increase the possibility of ND. We don't don't disagree there. I think that care should be taken when doing any work on any gun. I don't use the Glock for Self Defense so lightening the trigger for target work like one would for a target pistol makes sense. I am pretty good with that Glock. I have put many thousands of rounds through it. Practiced with it since the early 90's. I have gone as far as I can with it. Now I want to do a little better with it. It may be I can do no better with it. But I intend to try. I am saving the stock parts so I can put it back to stock some day.

As long as we are talking about this I want to say that no one should rely on a modified gun for self defense. Unless that gun needed modifying just to be reliable. I believe that any gun used for self defense should remain as stock as possible. Especially the trigger.

I was thinking about a 3.5 lb connecter as well. 4.5 pull sounds perfect. Thx for posting this topic.

Just remember that even though the pull will be lighter, the feel and the length of pull will remain the same essentially.

Cleaning it..........

Waiting for my permit to acquire before I can do anything to my Glock

my buddy sent me this vid of some cool glock mods for the tactical shooter. we run our glocks stock but these mods are something to think about. check it out.

Sweeeeeet

Warren Tactical Sights:  Definitely prefer these to the stock Glock sights.

Extended Mag Release:  Has really helped with depressing that small-ass mag release button!

I've gotten accustomed to the trigger pull, so otherwise, stock!

currently only have Trijicon HD night sights

will be buying:
guide rod w/spring. probably tungsten
extended mag release
extended slide release (I really really don't like the stock one)
grip plug
streamlight light

...oh and shooting it! just ordered a case of ammo

I finally got some good range time in with the new trigger set up today. I have to say based on my lack of shooting ability I think I was able to improve my times to first shot and second shot. The lighter trigger and adjustable over travel has really transformed this gun from a good shooter to a better shooting gun. While I was considering lightening the trigger a little more I think I will keep it where it is now at 4lbs 10oz. This trigger will never be a warmed over 1911 single action trigger but these two minor things of replacing the stock connector with a 3.5lb. connector and adding in adjustable over travel has made a huge difference in the way it shoots for me.

I think my next mods are going to be an extended slide release, mag release and better sights.

Range time today has convinced me I need a lighter trigger

My trigger on my glock is just under 2lbs      i feel safer with a lighter trigger.

Sights, 3.5 (-) connector, standard spring, extended slide stop, polish job, is pretty standard for my Glocks.  Stippling, shaving and re-contour trigger guard, finger groove delete, rear hump removal would be more unusual but I do that at times also.

I will note that I have no big issue with a standard 5.5 but I do want the sight, extended slide stop and polish job.

got pics of your mods? are you the guy on youtube? just wondering

Oddly enough, my Glocks are set up just like this one guy on youtube.   

What kind of connector and slide release are you guys using? I was  thinking of lone wolf 3.5 con and Sure touch slide release

I was considering  a ghost connector but I've read mixed reviews

I got a ghost trig connector. Worx pretty good for me. 

Ghost ultimate installed. Can't wait to try it out next week

The only firearm I have that has ever been shot twice in a row on accident is my glock 22.  It has a reduced trigger connector.

Only thing I've done was slap a talon grip on her a couple years back.  Awesome traction and holding up quite well
