Competition Trigger Parts

[DanaT]

Hi all,

I am trying to get some opinions if anyone has tried the lighter factory triggers in a G20. I am wanting the better triggers for IDPA. Mostly what I can tell is that the overtravel isn't as bad with the upgraded triggers.

However, I am new to using the G20 in IDPA (and glocks in general for IDPA). From what I have seen of glocks at IDPA is the ones where people screw around with them, especially when they put in the lighter striker spring, is that they don't always go boom. Having a round not go boom, is a time killer. The stock ones always seem to work flawlessly.

Here is what I am worried about: I don't want a competition only pistol. I want to be able to have a 10mm that functions 100% of the time (or so damn near that numberthat I can't tell) and that will light off DT loads (which I assume have magnum primers that need a good wack to ignite). I would like to have a better trigger if the previous condition can be met.

I am thinking of one of the two options:

The competition trigger spring and the 3.5lb connector.

I could also use the NY1 trigger spring and the 3.5lb connector and it is my inderstanding that the trigger will still be around 5lbs. Is this correct? This combination is supposed to be good for quicker trigger reset and for actual carry.

Does anyone have any experience with these combinations and how they work in the real world and in IDPA?

I think that going with a 4lb striker spring would be getting into where I don't want to go.

Thanks for any opinions/advice/flames.

Ghost Rocket 3.5lb trigger is the best in my opinion and I have tried every trigger and spring combo out there. I got lots of headaches and like you say, your not into that. Fit the Ghost Rocket in and TAKE YOUR TIME to perfect it and its the best trigger out there with the exception of sending your pistol to CGR and let Matt works some wonders on it.
Not to mention Arthur is one of the nicest guys out there as far as customer service goes.

I've tried all of the popular methods and the Ghost Rocket 3.5 is, IMHO, the finest Glock trigger short of the excellent work that CGR does.

IMO, any kind of overtravel stop is a risky proposition for reliability. One grain of sand in the wrong place and you're done. My best IDPA scores have been shot with a 3.5 pound connector and a NY-1 trigger spring after a basic trigger polish job. Overall weight is about the same a stock, but the highs and lows are smoothed out.
My best 25 yard slowfire groups have been fird with a well polished 5.5 pound connector and stock trigger spring, FWIW, that was earlier today during a kayak trip. Maybe my hands were warmed up from the paddling.
I just couldn't miss with that big beefy 20.

This is my set-up, with the addition of a Lone Wolf over-travel stop. I found that the Lone Wolf is much easier to install and properly adjust than the Ghost or the Jentra. I have not had any reliability issues whatsoever.

I have also found that the trigger reset on Glocks tends to vary widely. My 29 has extremely short reset out-of-the box.

In preping a lot of different Glocks for USPSA, I've found out over the years that a small frame Glock is reliable with the Wolff 4lb striker spring.
The large frame pistols, on the other hand, tend to NOT be reliable with the lighter spring.
Even in a competition only gun, 1 misfire is TWO too many !

I feel that it has something more to do with the large vs. small primer difference, rather than the guns themselves. I've seen a G 20 setup with an aftermarket .40 S&W bbl. that's foolproof with a 4lb spring. Change back to the stock bbl & this same pistol shows a 50% misfire rate. Change back to .40 & the reliability is returned.

I feel that lg primers are harder to detonate than small; In an experiment, this pistol was tried with Rem, Win, CCI, Fed, Fiocci, & RWS/GECO primers (these are the only primers I could get both sizes of) The .40 ammo fired, the 10MM ammo misfired. The best we got from the 10MM was when loaded with Federal primers, the misfire rate dropped to "only" 25%

In the big Glocks, stay with the stock striker spring.

all my glocks have the following
o.e.m 3.5 connector
wolff 5pd connector spring
.25 cent trigger job.

this combo gives me a decent trigger
on my g35 i also installed a lightning strikes titanium safety plunger.

i feels it makes the trigger pull a little smoother.
