Ny Trigger- Opinions? My thoughts...fwiw.

[Tsm002]

So yeah, I've been playing around with different glock trigger pull configurations for awhile now...have all 3 connector types from the factory and all 3 spring types from the factory, as follows, all OEM:

*3.5/4.5 lb connector
*5.5 lb connecter
*8lb connector
*standard coil spring
*NY1 trigger
*NY2 trigger

Let me get this out of the way, the 8lb connector is the worst I have used. Ever. Will not touch it.

I tried the stock 3.5 with the stock spring, scores went up...now here's the odd part-

I put on the NY1 spring along with the 3.5 lb connector since I was new to the glock and am used to carrying a DA auto decocked, and get this, my scores actually went UP from using the stock trigger spring. I dunno if it's because I'm more familiar with the pull or what, but it was much better. the trigger reset is also excellent with the NY1 trigger, so I can safely recommend it with the 3.5 lb connector. With the 5 lb connector, it was still allright, but my scores were about the same as with the stock 5lb connector, just more reset. Glock says not to use the NY triggers with 8 lb connector, so I did not.

Now for the NY2 spring...

I kept hearing about how everyone loathes it, so I had to buy one for the princely sum of 2 bucks. On the 5lb connector, it is like the double action pull of most revolvers I've fired- turns it into more of a true DAO, in my opinion. That sucker is not going to AD unless you TRY to do it with that setup. Still, my scores went down with it, so I don't carry it like that and can't recommend it.

I tried the NY2 spring with the 3.5 lb connector and was actually pleasantly surprised- the trigger reset is absolutely incredible, the pull is more than the ny1 spring but not prohibitively so and it still seems pretty safe to me.

Scores went down compared to the NY1 spring with the 3.5, but when I can't use a proper holster with the trigger guard covered (like, when I'm using my smartcarry) I feel way more comfortable carrying a round chambered with the ny2 spring in, and I can still shoot well with it.

So...basically, I found that the NY1 spring with the 3.5 lb connector is an excellent deal- maybe I'm the odd one out, but my scores IMPROVED with it, especially in rapid fire. Thought it would have been the other way around...

As for the NY 2 trigger, it actually found a use for when I have to carry off body (in a laptop case with no integral holster, like at work or conferences or w/e) or in a holster with no covered trigger guard...with a round chambered.

I'm a huge glock fan, but I don't like to carry ANY gun cocked with a round in the chamber in an improper holsrer without a proper safety...my cz 82 decocked works fine, my kel tec p11 is a no go, but my glock...I feel allright in that situation with the NY2 trigger and the 3.5 lb connector in.

NY2 trigger with 5.5 lb connector is horrid. I pity the NYSP who have to use it.

Give it a shot- it'll cost you 1-2 bucks each for the NY units, and you might be pleasantly surprised. They don't affect the break, only the takeup. And if you don't like them, hey, you have a replacement spring and you're out like...a few bucks.

Just my .02 from playing with the interchangable glock parts.

I tried the 3.5# and NY combo - felt good, used for a while, then it failed to reset - I no longer trust it. I use the 3.5# with polished but otherwise standard parts.

[Tsm002]

Eeep. One of the reasons I liked the NY trigger was due to its supposed indestructability.

Are they more prone to failure than the stock spring?

[gunplumber]

I have a test sample of 1. I am not going to trust my life to it. others might.

I use a factory Glock, not aftermarket 3.5lb connector and just keep my finger off the trigger until I'm ready to shoot. I also have a doctor's written profile stating I need the 3.5lb connector due to my hand injury. Due to Glock not selling the connector in the US, I would have personally have some sort of documentation and would never, ever use an aftermarket connector in my Glock. It's the kind of thing that adversarial, anti-gun rights state's attorney's/DA's will use against you. Not to mention it'll look bad during a civil trial if you don't have the kind of protection we have in Floirda with our Castle Doctrine.
If not for my injury, I would use the stock 5lb connector since that is what my agency was issued and I can show hundreds of hours of training and qualification with it as an instructor, range master and master level shooter.
