Glock Trigger Combinations
Tags connector, ny1, trigger parts
Glock makes three connectors and three trigger springs:
Use of the coil spring with any of the three connectors gives a trigger break weight of approximately the weight listed for the connector used. Changes in the power of springs involved, and apparently inaccurate weight conversions have recently resulted in the 3.5 connector being called a 4.5 connector, and the 5lb connector being 5.5.
Use of a NY1 trigger spring with a 5lb connector gives a break weight of about 8lbs.
Use of a NY1 spring with a 3.5lb connector gives a break weight of about 7 lbs.
NY springs should NOT be used with the 8lb connector.
Use of a NY2 trigger spring with any connector borders on self abuse, I seriously wonder if there is anyone that uses one without being forced to by their employer.
I'd suggest that you get all six parts and try the different combinations and decide which one best fits your needs. IF, for some strange reason you like a NY spring combination, be sure your keep your connector/trigger bar interface well lubricated.
My carry guns have a coil spring with an 8lb connector.

The NY/8lb connector combination puts too much pressure on the trigger bar/connector interface and galling can occur. When that happens it can be very difficult (if not impossible) to make the gun fire.Posted 01-16-2011 at 13:31 by Butch
