You have probably heard me say that your Glock trigger will never feel like your 1911 trigger.  The two systems are so radically different in form and function that it is impossible to replicate that wonderful 1911 feeling.

I recently had a customer come to me for help with the overtravel on his Glock.  He is an avid 1911 shooter who didn’t know if he could make the transition to the Glock.  He was interested in the Ghost Rocket Trigger because the overtravel can be adjusted.

As you can see from the above photo there is a tab that can be adjusted to precisely stop the overtravel that can hurt accuracy.  The Rocket cuts the pull to a very smooth pull of #3.5.  I actually think that the Rocket is probably the best connector that Ghost offers as far as the actual feel once it is installed. We generally don’t use it because of the extra cost to the customer ($75 for a trigger job with the Rocket installed), but it definitely makes a noticeable difference.

If you have a good 1911 setup but are a little frustrated with your Glock, give it a try.  You might find that it really does make a big difference in how you think about your Glock.

MCC is the newest addition to the Ghost family.  As many of you the Ghost products are the best when it comes to doing a trigger job on your Glock.  They also sell some great mag releases and sights you may want to check out.  If Ghost has it we can take care of it for you from a sales and installation standpoint.  If you have been thinking about tweaking your Glock, now is the time!

Many of you may be wondering why you hear about a trigger job that has a “Genuine Glock” 3.5# connector. As of the last armorer’s course I took, Glock did not sell this part or the amphibious spring cups to the general public. They have restricted these parts to L/E only. An armorer may order them, but it must be done with departmental letterhead.

Why? The only reason that was given is that they moved it to L/E to diminish liability. You can still get the 3.5 connector in any of the tactical/practical models (34 or 35), but it is probably not going to happen in most cases for your trigger job.

Some dealers offer a Genuine Glock 3.5# connector, but you can get the Ghost Connector from any number of places including Brownell’s. Ghost offers two different versions that we have tried, and that will be discussed further in another post. So it’s not the end of the world if you use the Ghost instead.

Does it matter? Not really, but someone may tell you it does. This is probably the same person who wants you to buy a tactical ear light.

Glocks are no doubt a fine weapons, and there aren’t that many modifications that really seem necessary. A few weeks ago, we talked about changing the sights and getting a trigger job. Today we are going to discuss the trigger job in more detail.

We offer four basic types of trigger jobs, but one of them is never requested, so really it’s three. The one never requested is giving the gun the so called “NY” trigger named for the NYPD who needed more weight than the standard Glock comes with from the factory. It can give the gun a 8# or 12# pull. I personally don’t know NYPD’s rational for this decision, but it has been reported that they wanted more of a revolver type pull thinking this would be safer for their officers who were transitioning from revolvers to the Glocks.

Now to the three jobs you might find useful. The first involves smoothing out the trigger, but doesn’t require the replacement of any parts. We simply get rid of some of the nastiness you feel in the trigger. You can expect a pull of around 4# to 4.5#. This is a great option for the person who carries their Glock as a defensive weapon.

The next level involves replacing the factory connector with a 3.5# connector. We use the Ghost connector for this part. This is the best option for anyone competing in IDPA who wants a better pull, or the person interested in carrying the gun for defensive purposes. It is completely stable, but provides about a 3.5# trigger pull.

The final option is a Competition Trigger Job. This job is only for competition. We replace the factory springs and connector to give you an extremely light trigger pull. This trigger job is fine for competition, but really shouldn’t be used on a carry gun. This job can get the pull to right around 3#.

Those are the basic options, but remember, it’s not a 1911. You just won’t get the same feel, because the designs are too different, but it will make a very noticeable difference.
