Did some trigger work today: LS Trigger, LW spring

[Oreo]

So, I detail stripped my G23 today for the first time to install this stuff. It really is a mechanically simple gun. Fairly intuitive to take down & reassemble.

I do like the LS trigger, but I'm not so sure it's worth $100. IMO I think it would be better priced at about $60-$75. It seems well made. As far as I can tell they used the stock sear. They polished nicely the ramp that contacts the connector but the didn't polish the actual sear surface that contacts the firing pin. The trigger safety is MUCH wider then OE. In fact, I dare say it's at least 50% of the width of the trigger. I think it could have been a little narrower & still felt very good on the finger. Otherwise, the trigger is beveled heavily on either side & I think I would have preferred a little less bevel so that the trigger had more flat surface area in contact with the finger. But maybe I'm just nitpicking.

I also installed the LW 6lb trigger spring. It's a subtle difference but a good one I think. I would be more satisfied with it except that the retaining loop bent while fitting onto the plastic piece that the ejector is mounted on. I was able to bend the loop back closed easy enough with a pair of needle nose pliars but this leaves me concerned for the reliability of the spring. I'll leave it in for a few range trips & see how it does but I may buy a new one or put the OE one back in just for reliability's sake.

I'm still waiting on a 8lb connector, and I have a LW 4lb connector that I want to try also. But I want to make incremental changes to see what makes improvements. I'll report back after again after the first range trip with these mods installed.

Update: 1st trip to the range.

I put 150 rds through my G23 the other day. The LS trigger gave me a nasty blister on my finger. The problem seems to be that the curve of the trigger safety is a convex shape & the trigger is concave. So what you get is the tip of the trigger safety being pushed past flush with the trigger, and the middle of the trigger safety forming an uncomfortable bump right on the pad of your finger. It's that tip of the safety going past flush that gave me the blister.

I like the trigger enough to consider modifying it for more comfort... but for $100... I shouldn't have to. I sent an email to LS explaining what I've observed. I'll report back again if I hear from them.

I do like the LW trigger spring. I wish they made a stronger one. It lightens the pull of the trigger without reducing the crisp feeling the the break.

I've also added the Ghost Rocket Tactical connector / trigger stop today. I think I've got it adjusted pretty well. I'll post up more about it after I try it out at the range... when my blistered trigger finger heals.

The reply from LS:

We will look into that. thanks for your suggestion!

Aloha Oreo. Good to hear you got your Glock with all the goodies installed without any problems. I'm surprised that with the setup you have you are developing a blister on your trigger finger. Is the trigger pull much more than stock? How's the placement of your finger on the trigger itself? I shoot 300-400 rounds at a time sometimes when I go to the firing range and the LS trigger setup I have on my G19 is very light and confortable.

The trigger pull isn't the issue with the blister.

It's a nice pull, but not worth $100. The LW 6lb trigger spring & ghost rocket tactical combination really did the job nicely. In fact, I wish they made a LW 8lb trigger spring & a Ghost Rocket 8lb (+) connector. I think that combo would really give 1911 style trigger feel.
