View Full Version : LWD 3.5 connector
Before I get flamed, this isn't a "what is the best connector" thread. I've own an older version LWD connector before. This was during the time when a few of them (isolated events) were having issues/ Mine never gave me problems. I'm assuming the ones currently for sale have been corrected. I've been out of the modding scene for a bit.
How have the new ones been holding up? Any failures to date? Your approx. round count with it in? I plan on ordering one this weekend. Just wanted to read a few comments before making the purchase.

They work well for me in all my guns and a number I've installed for others as well. Actually, pretty much a "Ho-Hum" deal...no issues of any kind. Round count on the different installs vary from a few hundred in most of them to a few thousand in my G34.

I have them in both of my Glocks and would put one in any new ones acquired.Good people to do biz with.
Thanks for the replies. :thumbsup: I've always had good experiences with LWD. Good folks indeed.
I just wanted to hear that they indeed work.
Just got one for my G23. Only about 100rds through with the LWD connector. So far so good.
I've had bad experiences with the newest connectors and so have others.

I try to use factory Glock parts when I can. My 3.5 connector works just fine but am thinking about going back to stock after I clean some parts up.
Breech: Our first run of connectors failed to reset about 1% of the time. That is not the reason we stopped offering them. We stopped offering them because a dozen or so guns were reported to fire 2 to 4 round bursts. Yeah it even happened on one of our test guns so I know it to be true. It is my opinion this was a cool feature and we did not even charge extra for it, but a few guys got excited so we simply stopped offering them. I also feel they were the best because they were out there on the edge. The best trigger I ever saw came from those first run LWD connectors.
Anyhow, the current connectors have a huge following. Vanek Custom uses them in his custom trigger kits. Pick one up when your ready. I guarantee you will like it.
Seaferer12: I am slightly confused? Do you currently have/use a LWD connector and plan to clean it up and sell it?

I have a Glock connector. I am going to polish up some parts and put the 5lb connector back in. I try to use factory springs and trigger parts. Thats just me though. I could have clarified myself a little better.

:shocked:
Maybe you should have charged extra to you could have a reserve legal aide fund to help out the customers that get busted with fully automatic weapons.
Doesn't EVERYBODY want a full auto Glock?
JP you are one strange cookie. Did you really think I was serious?

My apologies.
I didn't expect an answer like that from a company representative, especially in regards to a critical part with ongoing defects.
I guess if it would have included a smiliey emoticon,the humor would have been more apparent.:wavey:

J.P. Just purchased a few of your connectors.
Have shot the Dickens out of my 34 with a Sotelo trigger Kit with OEM tuned and polished conn. & now your latest rendition conn. Enjoy the extra "smoothness" of your conn's. plating & as you will already know ZERO problems!!!
Thanks for an exc. product at a great, "Non-Ripoff" price!
p.s. Got your levity right off the bat! Kudos for being open & Honest about the problems anyone would be bound to have, even after the best research & testing!
Charlie using your connectors is the best rec one could have in my book too! :thumbsup:
JP I will play nice for now and cut you a little slack regarding your statement "especially in regards to a critical part with ongoing defects". I insist you use a little more caution when you present your opinions regarding LWD products. There might be a few GT patrons out there who are not aware you have a big 'ol boner for LWD products. They might wrongly assume LWD is actually building bad
parts.
You could say you tried LWD connectors and then state your opinion. You could even add the comment all your buddies at your range have the same opinion as you. You see, these statements involve your opinion and would not in anyway hold you liable for a false misleading statement such as "ongoing defects". This way I could respond with a factual statement such as, we currently have over 10,000 satisfied customers.

JR,
I am trying to decide on what 3.5lb connector to purchase. I am leaning toward the Ghost Rocket. Could you give me a quick break down of the pros and cons of the connectors LWD offers?
Thanks
The Ghost connectors are a great way to get both the 3.5 and a trigger stop. They are pretty easy to install and if you somehow mess one up all you have to do is call them and they will send you a new replacement. The only draw back is that once they are fitted to a certain gun they should stay in that gun.
Lone Wolf offers a different method. We also have a 3.5 connector but our ultimate trigger stop is built into the factory trigger housing. Our UTS is fully adjustable so you can pull it out and use in a different gun or back it off anytime.
Performance of the 3.5 connectors will vary gun to gun and it is to be expected. This difference in performance is due to the fact that you can take 100 complete Glock pistols, disassemble them all to bare bones and then reassemble them using all the mixed up parts and make 100 brand new guns. I have seen PLENTY of comparisons of Glock factory, Scherer, Ghost and LWD connectors compared to each other. Each connector will deliver different results in the same gun. We did not compare our connector to Scherer or Ghost because we offer these products to our customers. We did however perform a direct comparison to the Glock original connectors and beat them 86% of the time in a side by side 'trigger pull".

Okay....since you've threatened me with being held "liable" for reporting my findings (seems like I've heard about this before) I'll offer this opinion:
-The following is merely a dramatization-
_________________________________________
I've tried numerous LWD connectors and none of them have been acceptable with regards to either fit or function whether the "old" or the new" design.
So here are some questions:
LWD has redesigned the connectors recently correct?
Why?
Were there not problems with the old design?
The newest models gave me out of battery problems in five different Glocks as I've reported here and to you privately.
This has happened to others.
You did even give an answer recently to the effect of: "Glocks can fire out of battery"
Apparently I'm not the only one who's had these issues.
So I'll give those factual accounts and let people draw their own conclusions.
I and other who have had these issues are certainly not imagining them so I'm of the opinion that it can't be breaking news at LWD.
Another question:
What do you call parts that aren't acceptable in regards to fit or proper function?
I call them "bad", but that's just me.
I think anyone who objectively follows this situation gets the jist of what's going on here.

I understand what you think but that doesn't negate the fact that there have been problems with the connectors.

JP, you've made your point adnauseam and with all due respect (and I mean that), you are beginning to grate. Give it up and move on please. The vast majority of folks who have the LW connector in their Glocks are very satisfied with its performance. Further, a connector represents a relatively insignificant $ investment. If one is not satisfied (at least in the case of LW) all he/she needs to do is return the part for a refund and try something else.
Life is too short to dwell on this stuff. :)

I don't see any reason to stop voicing my opinion or describing the problems I've had with them when asked by someone seeking information.
Do you?
I thought it was interesting that I happened to stumble across a thread over at TPI that describes an issue I and others had with the LWD connectors.
It seemed significant to me because the company representative here and some of the customers often act as if I have an imaginary problem.
I didn't intend to start a new thread on this but I couldn't find the original and I didn't see the current running thread at the time or I would have posted in it instead.

K414 has a point! You are beating a dead horse!
It's long past the "opinion" stage and I think you well know it......
When one thinks of the problems Glock has had with their pistols over the years, not including "exploding", connector problems kinda pale against them.

This is obiously not Glock's problem,Speedrock,since we are talking about aftermarket parts.
Read the thread topic.
The OP asked for reports on the connectors.
The company is obviously not going to come forth and present that there have been issues with them.
Honestly,I fail to see how this is an "opinion" since the part obviously has had issues with more than one customer/weapon.
Could you honestly look at a weapon that will not return to battery and call that an opinion?
So your opinion would be that the slide is fully closed?:shocked:
Are you really suggesting that?
You might have an opinion as to why it's happening but you can't deny the fact that it is when you are staring right at it.
So,I've stated my experiences with these parts and linked up to others who had the same issues.
I'm sorry if this offends you.
I was involved with the development of the LWD connector so let me say one thing up front. JR was and is very receptive to any suggestions that will improve his products. The very first connector was a little too stiff IMO. I have all of the prototypes. There were no functional problems, like the slide not going into battery, but you could feel it dragging on the slide a bit. My suggestion was to thin the metal a bit - JR did this. The next one was a lot better, but I felt he needed to take a little more material out. The next sample I got is the current design. It is my connector of choice.
The drag on the slide that the original connector had was no worse than the drag you get with an unmodified Ghost. Once again it did not cause any function issues. I run a 12# Wolf spring in my competition Glocks. The slide would go into battery everytime even with this light spring.
LWD did lower the "hook" that the trigger bar cams down a little as there was a small percentage of Glocks that were built to maximum tolerances. This tolerance stacking would not allow the striker to release.
As I recall JR has offered to replace any of the early models at no charge.

And what he doesn't get (albeit some of us have tried our best to explain in a courteous way), is that the more he posts about it, the less people take him seriously. 'Also known as the law of diminishing return. :)
I'm not trying to incite anything.
I'm simply pointing out that there is very little "opinion" involved in observing that the slide doesn't go into battery properly.
Nothing emotional about it on my end but it seems that there is on yours.
You are so charged up about the negative reports about a proiduct from your favorite company that you won't even acknowledge that there are issues with these connectors.
You guys apparently have had no negative issues with your connectors so good on ya'.
I (and others) obviously have.
So I guess the next time someone asks for a report on the LWD,I'll ignore their post and let them only read the positive reports from the satisfied folks.
Afterall,that's what these discussions are about.......sharing glowing reviews of products from the sponsors.
_______________________________
Joe D,
I don't know if I made myself clear in my posts but I and others have had issues with both the old and new designs.
I gave the new ones a shot because I was hoping the bugs were worked out.
No luck so far....oh well.
I may be a little more open minded than some might think. Can you describe what problems you are having with the newest design?

I know *you* are. ;)
Specifically, I and others were having out of battery issues with the newest design.
The connector was rubbing similar to the old design.
Right off the top of my head,four connectors in seven Glocks had these issues My 2 in 5 guns, and two others in two other guns) plus the guy that is reporting over on TPI.
Again,I thought the actual pull felt good.

Calling my credibility into question is a good diversion tactic but it doesn't change the facts.
Besides,no matter how hard you try to beat that drum,I've garnered more than enough credibility to be taken at my word.
I won't dignify the rest of your post since it in no way reflects the actual situation or intent of my posts.
Are you certain you have the latest design? How wide is the thinned section of the connector? I have run a recoil spring as light as 9# in my G34/35 when I was doing a little experimenting. I had no out of battery issues even with a spring this light.
I have made the very first design connector work by reducing the angle of the leg.
So a few of one guys connectors....two other guys also have trouble with these connectors...and it seems another dude on another site is having troubles with the same connectors?
If thats the only ones that seem to be complaining. Then I'd say that the connectors in question are darn near perfect. I bet if one searched around...the could find at least 4 guys that have complaints about glock stock 3.5 connectors that they bought to but in their glocks.;)
Nothing is ever perfect....not even glock. If it isnt workin for ya...then buy the Glock 3.5. Personally, I bought a Glock 3.5 for 20 bucks and had simmilar issues in my 27. Ended up giving it to a friend and it does well in his 23. Then bought a LWD 3.5 for 12 bucks and it seems to do great.:thumbsup:

Joe D,
I no longer have them so I can't accurately spec them for you.
If memory serves me,they were very narrow.
I bought a couple directly from JR at a gun show.He told me they were the "new" design.
A couple of my friends told me they were selling them and I bought a couple to try because I previously had trouble with the old design.
I tried 11# 13# and stock springs in five different of my own guns and had the out of battery problem in each case.
It seemed as if you used a RPFPS that they would go into battery fine in combination with a stock recoil spring.
Definitely odd.
Ganesh,
I've also had other problems with Scherer and Ghost connectors.
I've never had any issues with the OEM part but that's not to say that others have not.
I would give the Scherer another whirl.
I havent tried Ghost yet.

I have Lone wolfs 3.5lb connector and ultimate trigger stop in my Glock 23. I absolutely Love it. Trigger pull is perfect and has improved my accuracy SO much. Have fired a few thousand rounds flawlessly. If i buy anymore glocks i certainly will use them. If you have any doubts, talk to this man. Hes a Certified Glock Armorer, Uses them on ALL of his guns. gunny@twobearstrading.com or if youd like to reach him directly, his number is 503-807-0385 and his name is Jim. It is his personal business line, so be respectful about when you are calling please(Pacific time zone).
Anyway, I highly recommend using the 3.5lb connector and ultimate trigger stop. JP here seems to have had some unusual experience with a connector or could possibly have been his own error. The people at lonewolf are incredibly nice and easy to deal with, all you have to do is call them. If you just whine about the product online your not going to fix anything. IF they were selling products that cause problems, Glock armorers wouldnt use them in there own guns or sell the product to others. Anyway, the 3.5lb connetor and trigger stop are the best thing you can do for your glock.

LWD did refund my money promptly,no issue there.
All I wanted was a good connector.....a better mousetrap.
Some Glock armorers have used substandard parts in the past so that argument is moot.
I was even sold the "old" LWD connector by a Glock armorer and we now know those had problems.
The armorer even told me that I'd have to "grind down" the connector for it to function properly.

08-25-2007, 17:54
Well hes not that type of armorer. somehow i doubt that the glock armorer your talking about, would put those sub-standard parts in his OWN guns. if he did, well obviously he isnt that smart. The glock armorer I get all my advice from uses the lone wolf products in his OWN guns along with fitting them in other peoples guns.
Anyway, theres no point in arguing, your COMMITTED to having a problem. You could have easily returned it for another 3.5lb connector and not have any problems and have been satisfied. Or you could have tried someone elses glock that has it in it, and realize that you had some sort of rare occurrence.
Also, who cares if the old ones had problems? why would you have bought a 3.5lb connector from a glock armorer who was selling "old" 3.5lb connectors and even told you you would have to grind it down to fit it correctly? Lone wolf obviously fixed the problem and doesnt sell the old connectors.

ARRRGH!
I did "easily return" the parts for a refund,directly to JR face to face at the gun show.There has never been any issue with that on my part at all.
Please follow the conversation.
As I stated before,I was just looking for a suitable alternative to the OEM parts.Not having found one in the LWD connectors,I remain frustrated and continue to use OEM parts at over twice the price and sometimes unavailable.
The LWD seemed like a blessing at $9.95 all day long.
Now....Let me try to explain this new/old thing to you again,just in case I wasn't very clear:
At the time I bought the "old" connector the "new" version wasn't quite on the market yet.
Several of the guys in the gun shop each of who I regularly shoot IDPA with,all had the "old" LWD connectors in their guns.
They were impressed with the feel of the connectors and so was I.
I inquired about purchasing one to try since they had them in stock.
I was told by two Glock armorers at the store and the other people I know there that although it claimed to be a "drop-in" part, the gun wouldn't function properly unless the connector was ground down.
The gunsmith had one set up in his demo gun as well...a LWD connector which had to be modified to function.
I gave the part the benefit of the doubt and tried it anyway...they were right,it didn't work without modification. (not something I'm looking for in a drop-in part as simple as a connector)
I scrapped it and didn't look back.
When asked about opinions about the "old" part,I stated that it was not a "drop-in" part and it had to be fit.
If a part has to be fit,it is not "drop-in"
(Of course at the time I was blasted on here for suggesting that it was not indeed a drop-in part)
Fast forward.....
LWD was at the gunshow selling the "new" connectors that were improved and supposedly had all the issues worked out.
I bought a couple of them and they had some problems.Problems in several of my Glocks.
I apparently wasn't the only one that had issues with the "new" connectors either.
You say I'm "committed" to having a problem but the fact is that there was a problem with the "new" part that was real and not imagined by me or anyone else.
So why am I being put on trial here for reporting that I had problem with the "new" connectors, and know others who had problems?
Maybe we all got some out of a bad lot...I dunno'
So you're going to call the gunsmith's intelligence into question for using the LWD part which he admittedly had to modify to function, yet you stated:
"The glock armorer I get all my advice from uses the lone wolf products in his OWN guns along with fitting them in other peoples guns."
Okay, well my Glock armorer in question used LWD parts in *his* OWN guns along with fitting them in other people's guns.
Am I missing something here?

Yes,the answer is obviously faulty connectors or some that need to be "fit".

"Some Glock armorers have used substandard parts in the past so that argument is moot."
I was saying he wouldnt be that smart to use sub-standard parts in his own gun... not good business either. So I said the Glock Armorer I get advice from, only sells parts hed use or does use in his own gun.
Anyway, this isnt going anywhere.

Maybe it's trial and error to find out which are good parts and which are not.He's got a demo gun or two that he installs the latest psrts in.
Since this "isn't going anywhere",let's drop it.
Obviously your connectors didn't have issues and mine did.
I would like to add though,that your statement about using a 3.5# connector w/ an overtravel stop being a great mod is true.
A lot of us were making our own version of the UTS before LWD came out with them.It's cheap and easy to make your own but if I weren't mechanically inclined at all,I'd go the UTS route.
JP -
Were you the guy who got 2 connectors at the Tulsa Show just before Easter? Bought them on Saturday and returned them on Sunday? No trace of oil/grease on them?
If so, I have them. I was there with JR.
I tried them both in my G27, worked fine. Then my G17 Show Gun, worked fine. Then my new G20, worked fine.
After the I returned home, I tried them in my wife's G19 and they worked fine.
I don't know what to tell you.

Yes that was probably me.
Of course they didn't have any oil on them,I cleaned them up before I brought them back.
They didn't work in five of my guns so I don't know what to tell you either.

Lannister,
I assure you I did nothing wrong, if I did we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Obviously you believe him over me and there probably little I can do to change your mind.
If you don't know what the problem I was having with the connectors then you haven't been following the conversations very well.
I suggest you go back and read BOTH threads regarding this.
Caefully read my posts and in the text you will find I stated a possible reason why they could have worked in LWD's guns.

Now, where can I get these parts for my 50-AE Desert Eagle with the 12-inch barrel?? I'd LOVE to have it cook off two- or 4-round bursts ! ! !

I assure you I did nothing wrong, if I did we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Obviously you believe him over me and there probably little I can do to change your mind.
If you don't know what the problem I was having with the connectors then you haven't been following the conversations very well.
I suggest you go back and read BOTH threads regarding this.
Caefully read my posts and in the text you will find I stated a possible reason why they could have worked in LWD's guns.
Lannister,D you own Glocks that are all stock except for the LWD connetors?
Well what am I supposed to think, someone else tried your same connectors and they worked fine in 4 or 5 of his own guns? If the connectors work in other peoples guns fine, but not yours, what other answer is there?
This thread has gone on for a long time, I dont constantly go and read everyone single post from the beginning. You dont say anything about it in the other thread, all your posts say youve had issues or problems with them, but no details on what that problem is(maybe you should check the other thread). Youve mentioned the older ones having to be ground to fit. I had to go back to page 1 of this to see you mentioned the gun wouldnt return to battery. Instead of being a jerk, You could have easily just told me that, instead of telling me to look through alll your posts when only 1 of them mentions it. I thought you wanted to voice your problem?
Anyway, this horse was beat to death long ago... Lets move on...
My glocks are not stock anymore, just have LWD 3.5lb connector, LWD UTS, stainless steel guide rod/20lb spring and night sites.
Sorry if I came off like a jerk.
The problem with the new connectors was the pistol not properly returning to battery.
I thought I mentioned it and also had a link to another with the problem.
anyway,it looks like you found the answer on page one of the 2 page thread.
I tried the two connectors in 5 of my own glocks and they had a problem.
What are you supposed to think?
Well since those were probably modified guns,I did offer that with the right combination (heavy recoil spring & light FP spring) that they might work under those circumstances.
However,in a stock setup they had problems.
If you had a problem with your properly installed parts and sent them to me and I said there was no problem with them...well....where do you go from there?
I don't know the answer.
Either:
a)Someone doesn't know what they are doing
b)Someone is lying
c)There is some statistical anomoly at play
I know what I'm doing,and I'm not lying so that eliminates those two options on my end.
Maybe instead of attacking me and calling my credibilty into question,we should attempt to solve the problem.
I know for a fact that I'm not the only one to have these issues with the connectors.Not everyone posts about things like this,they just throw them away...like JR stated in the other thread.
