I installed a Scherer 3.5# connector in my G19, and the gun functions fine but the audible "click" of the trigger reset is gone.
Is it a bad connector? Or installed improperly?

Did you by any chance change the trigger spring when you put in the connector?

Yhe connector is supposed to stick out, away from the trigger housing, at the top. If you bent it to fit flush, then you messed up.

Stock trigger spring and I did not intentionally bend the connector but I will check it.
Thanks for the advice.

Sounds like the connector isn't under enough spring tention.If you didn't bend,then it might not have had the proper angle when you received it.
Was this connector new when you received it?

Yes it was new. But they shipped it in a padded envelope instead of in a box. It's possible that it got bent in shipment.

Jovan,

I just did some measuring useing a 3.5 glock factory connector installed in a housing.

1( from the back side to the housing, 0.110 - 0.120

2( from the outside of the flange on the connector to the housing,0.190

Kind of where I was headed also. Perhaps you simply re-installed the stock trigger spring incorrectly. Should look the the photo below, noting the orientation of the S-curves in the spring:

The connector did not have the proper bend. I took a connector out of my other glock and compared. The one that was malfunctioning was too "flat".
Thanks for the help guys!:)

Joven,

When you say flat,do you mean the angle of the bend was to shallow?If this is the case,how close to the housing was it?

Joven

Yes, it was too shallow. It was touching the housing almost sitting completley flush in the recessed space that it sits it. Sorry don't know exactly what its called. But it wasn't bent enough to exert the proper outward force on the trigger bar?
