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.

which one do you have on there?

If we eliminate that this was induced by the shooter, we must look at the connector, any modification to the connector or associated parts and the actual installation. A reduced or minus connector that is within spec and installed correctly should not cause an issue.  What connector?  Any other work to the connector?  Who installed it?  You might want to have it looked and especially the angle of the connector as it sits within the trigger mechanism housing.

I bought an Accurate Arms .22 conversion kit for my G34. It functions OK with the recommended ammo, but it's not very accurate :grrr:

Also, Meprolight Tru-Dot sights for the G34. Those I really like.

Is it accurate arms or advantage arms?

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

Recently, I added the following:

JP Enterprises Extended Magazine Release
Glock Extended Slide Release

I had a chance to take my Glock to the HRA Shoot on Sunday. I have to say that everything works very well on my gun. The trigger, reset, limited over travel allowed me to shoot it faster and with more control than I thought I was possible of doing. I don't get much of a chance to practice anything other than slow fire. So when I do get the chance this is the gun I choose most often. So far I am very happy with the trigger modifications I have done. I may not replace the entire trigger now that I know how well it shoots.

I already had an Aro-Tek Extended Slide Release on my gun. It was an exact duplicate of the original Glock OEM piece only it was longer. It did not extend out from the frame any farther than stock. I had shot someone else's Glock 17 that had a Glock Extended Slide Release and I liked it so much I decided to replace the Aro-Tek unit I had on it for many years. The Glock Extended Slide Release is not necessarily longer than the stock OEM piece. But it does protrude out from the frame with a nub that is just enough to get a good purchase on it with my thumb. Yet it is not so much and smooth enough to not snag or even rub on my holster.

At the same time I also installed a JP Enterprises Extended Magazine Release. This piece is well made but is not an attractive piece. Once installed it looks sort of out of place. With that said I have always had to shift the gun in my hand slightly (or use my left thumb) to depress the stock magazine release. Most extended magazine releases only extend out farther from the frame than stock. But the J.P. Enterprises piece not only extends out from the frame but it extends back towards my thumb. Now for the first time I can depress the mag release without having to shift the gun in my hand or use my offhand thumb. There were two things I was concerned with after installing this piece. First thing I was concerned with was accidental depression during firing and dropping the mag out during live fire. This never occurred during the 300+ rounds I shot through it on Sunday. The second thing I was worried about was it hitting/rubbing/snagging on my holster. I can tell you that it did not even come close to touching or rubbing on my holster. I am using a Blackhawk! Serpa Holster. There was another consequence of now being able to drop my magazines quicker and that I found myself not being to load a new mag as quickly. So it looks like a mag well piece will be a future purchase.

Next mod is a set of Tru-Glow front and rear sights. I have them already but have not had the time to borrow the tool, install them and get to the range to sight the gun in. Plus, as stated earlier I am going to ad a mag well piece.

is it just a matter of the sights having to be adjusted?  or is it something that can't be corrected?  i was thinking of getting the advantage arms conversion for my 34 as well.  sounds like it is supposed to be better than the tactical solutions conversion kit.

I didn't polish my 3.5 lb connector before I installed. So I think I'll take it back out and do that to see if it improves the crunchiness of it.

I went with the Wolf. There was a lot of high praise for it and it was in the low to mid price range.

Advantage Arms, sorry. It's not the sights, which are adjustable to a certain degree. It shoots to point of aim, but the groups are 4-5 ins at 15 yds with Remington Golden Bullet ammo.  I also tried CCI Mini-Mags with the same results.
I was hoping to get another .22 without going through the BS here, but in hindsight, I should have bought a Ruger MK II/III, or maybe a Browning Buckmark.

I'll let you know when I do the polishing. I think the 3.5lb connector is worth it even if you don't do the polishing, though.

I'll keep everyone up to date.  :shaka:

I recently swapped out the sights on my 17 FDE to the Redback One glock sights.  Will need to get a taller front sight from 10-8 performance as it is shooting consistently 4-5" high at 25 yards even using a 6 o'clock hold.  I tried shooting from a rest and I still get a consistent grouping about 4 " high.  Not a big deal though.  Sights are very solid otherwise, so much so that it's almost a pain to adjust the rear sight.
