Just out of curiosity, did you intentionally seek out the original GPT pictured or just happen into this one?
This one is the old model. 74332 is the new one that comes with a standard connector installed and has a gen 5 backplate with it. For the record, I have used this trigger extensively after replacing the dot connector with standard and love it. |

Enjoy your new trigger.

It comes with a standard connector installed instead of the dot connector.
That results in a more firm wall and slightly heavier pull. They made some other change to prevent the shoe from contacting the frame while pulling the trigger. Texaspo believes it was a spring change. He does a better job explaining the differences in this thread. https://www.ar15.com/forums/Handguns/Glock-GPT-Issues/13-213176/ |

I have two of the original GPTs installed (one in my duty gun and one in my off duty gun). I actually installed the regular connectors in them because I liked the trigger feel better.
Glad to see the gen2 GPT comes with the regular connector. Might grab one to try on some of my gen4s. |

Whats the reguler connector.

Bought one for my G47. Liked it so much I bought one for my CCW G19.5 mos. Both have been great.

I got to try one over the weekend.
Was nice for precision, felt short and light. Would not want for real world use, but that's just me. |

View Quote FWIW, the revised version, #74332 has a standard connector and trigger pull weight is around 4.8 I would consider that just about perfect. If the one you tried was the original version, it has the "." connector, and is lighter. TXPO |

If it is and I change the connector with the trigger I took out, G17 gen 5 will it be same as current version 2 GPT? Eta: upon looking closer it does have a dot connector. |

The G17.5 also came with a dot connector.

TXPO View Quote I have a standard connector and just finished putting it in, as you said the wall feels better and doesn’t feel much if at all heavier on the break. As for the trigger catching the frame, I haven’t had it happen while dry firing and the only time I notice it catching is it’s already been fired, if it’s cocked it doesn’t happen even if I try. |

I have several of the first gen GPT and most net the same result that you describe.
One of mine that I have installed on a G32C.4 catches frequently. I think it’s manufacturing tolerances. I much prefer the GPT with the standard connector and have one in my carry gun. I’m also 100% good with stock trigger as well. |

I just prefer the characteristics of the GPT V2. My 320's with the Legion Flat trigger was the one thing that I really enjoyed about them, and the GPT V2 with the Vex shoe gives me the same feel as my 320s, but in a Glock. What's not to like....

I’ve shot nothing but Glock 19’s for the last 20 years with the stock trigger. Never gave any thought to upgrading. Same with my AR. After swapping in a SSA-X I wished I had swapped sooner. Sent me looking for an upgraded Glock trigger. Went with the GPT liking a factory option and only $100 to try out.
It’s so much nicer than the stock trigger I was surprised. The stock Glock trigger always felt like a spring that was binding before there was a break. Now I just have a smooth pull to a clean breaking wall. Really can’t believe they don’t come standard on all Glocks. It feels so much nicer and I do notice I’m shooting more accurately when I bump out to 25 yards. |

I had tried out the GPT when they first launched, and my biggest complaint was how light the trigger was. I tried using the + connector, but that was too heavy. Never thought to use the standard connector.
Just got the new GPT and it is wild how nice it is. Perfect weight. Just goes *click*. Probably end up swapping out my other pistol too. |

Installed one last night. Seems to work as advertised.
Happy so far. |

I will likely swap it back to the standard connector. View Quote Hmm, all my Glocks have a - connector. My ideal Glock trigger is just polish the contact points, swap for a - minus connector, and shoot 2-3k rounds and it’s quite nice. But I have a 17.5 mos and the trigger is inconsistently gritty even after 3k+ rounds. I discovered the trigger bar was rubbing with the right side slide stop, fixed that but it didn’t improve much. So I’ve ordered the performance trigger, should be here next week |

They are all different just like the stock triggers. Some are definitely better than stock and some are just different. You really need to try it in each gun to see how it feels. I also tried changing to a standard connector and again the results varied depending on the gun. Overall I like them but they don’t universally improve all the glocks I tried them in. I still have a few gen 5s and gen 3s that have a better stock trigger and have left them alone. |

Of the pistols listed why isn’t Glock listing any .40 S&W or .357 Sig as recommended pistols to use in?

View Quote @LessThanZero The trigger in the OP's picture is the original version. Glock's web page says the newest version can be used with .22 LR, 9mm, .40 S&W, and .357 SIG pistols. (It can't be used with the 43, 43X, 48, or Glock 18, though.) |

Finally got around to trying mine out today.
I think I might swap-in my "minus" connector for next time, as an experiment. The GPT might be ever so slightly heavier than what I had in it previously. Trigger weight was noticeably now the limiting factor as far as my groups went. No improvement in group size... Also- now my Glock 19 doesn't like russian steel-case. Wasn't smacking the primers hard enough. Not sure why the GPT would be different that the stock trigger in that regard, but this problem was immediately noticeable with the GPT. Happened several times in about 35 rounds (at which point I switched to Federal aluminum-cased fmj, which worked 100%). Attached File 15 rounds @10 yards ETA> I just put in a minus connector. **Now** it seems like it is going to be quite good. |

The Ranger Proof Vex, just has a RP rather than the JG on the face and it's little less $$. I have not tried on in a Gen3 Glock, so I'm not sure what would need to be done to get it to work correctly. TXPO |

The addition of the "minus" connector in addition to the GPT did indeed improve my groups-

That said, I have a G32 Gen 4 that I use a GPT in that is using the Gen 4 ejector and I have zero issues with it. That one did not cause brass to the face with the Gen 4 trigger and it doesn’t with the GPT either. |
