Someone gave me a highly polished trigger bar many years ago. Recently i decided to try it out in a range gun just to see how it felt. combined with a LW 3.5# connector it resulted in a very smooth trigger pull. Unfortunately in approximately 200 rounds fire i had one instance of the trigger failing to reset. Its possible I have a bad connector but I suspect its more likely the polish job on the trigger bar went beyound polishing and material was actually removed.

I put the original trigger bar back in and will try that with the LW connector.

Good reminder to only change one part at a time and test fire thoroughly.


Update: Ended up being a defective Lone Wolf connector.

probably just a bound spring.

I have changed many parts on my Glocks and in all my years shooting them never experienced these type of issues.  I have tinkered with every trigger combination and the only issues I ever ran into was changing the striker spring and getting an occasional light strike.  

When you said it failed to reset that lends me to think you may have the reset spring not installed properly.  Are you using the stock on or a competition one?

This is my guess too. I've had one issue when the spring got out of the groove when I reassembled the assembly carelessly and once when I bought a 6lb Wolff spring. The Wolff spring ends weren't lined up and were actually offset 45* or so. This caused the trigger to bind up regularly and not reset as it should.

Detail strip the frame and reassemble hand cycle while holding the trigger and reset it a few 20-30 times.  Make sure you put a drop of lube on the connector and where the trigger bar touch.

The first problem is...you messed with a Glock.  Shoot em like they build em and you will be just fine.  When you get a Glock, you change 2 things.  Front sight and rear sight, then load, soot, reload, and repeat.
