| I bought a Glock 19 a while back and it has a noticeably lighter trigger pull than other stock glocks I've had. I bought it used and the seller never mentioned the trigger was upgraded. It works but it's too light for me. Anyone want to swap a stock trigger bar for this lighter one? If needed I'll measure the weight. If anyone is interested please tell me by pm or email. Are the newer triggers on later models,(mine is a gen 3) now made this way? |

The trigger bar alone wouldn't make a difference in pull weight, it may have been over polished and contributing though. Without knowing what was done just replace all the parts that matter. Trigger bar, connector, trigger spring, striker spring and the drop safety spring with OEM parts. Also, make sure the striker is OEM and not some lightened aftermarket part. |

I'll repost this in EE. Thanks. I also meant to say disconnector instead of trigger bar. Pic coming up soon.
It's a Ghost inc disconnector. Anyone interested? Just found out it's worth a few dollars, thought it was a polish job. I'll keep it and just get used to it. Thanks again for the help.

Just checked, the trigger spring is a dull chrome spring That is the stock spring. If you plan to keep the connector I would recommend the heavy reset spring it will make the trigger pull better reduce weight ~.5#, increase forward tension so faster reset, and takes the mushy clunk feel out of the trigger. |

By heavy reset spring im assuming your talking about the trigger spring? And how heavy like a 6lb one? |

I fired it yesterday as I've only fired this thing a mag or two and it is not working properly at all. At first pressed the trigger back, it fired, then after the follow through I released and on the reset it fired again. It fired like those bump fire ar triggers. One fire on pull, one round fired on reset. Once it did a double fire. I was safe, private land in the country, but I've never had any glock do that. I looked around and others have had this issue with the Ghost 3.5# disconnector. People said its the disconnector or someone over polished things making edges rounded too much causing a slip with the disconnector and striker. Damn glad I had this happen on the range because it was one of the possible home defense guns.
People kept saying the solution was to reinstall a stock disconnector. I have one on the way thanks to another arfcom member. |

Several people here are pretty good and give good advice, I know Glocks but still consider myself a novice. My advise to you, since it appears from your posts that you may be a bit new to Glock internals, is to return that pistol to a total factory stock configuration. Then you have a base line to judge from, then you can add some goodies/aftermarket internals if you wish. I get a number of requests from friends and such to add this and do this and I will not do it, because they don't understand what they are asking me to do. You will get some pretty solid advice here, but the problem you are having is not a good thing, so start stock and then play...just my .02

Edit: If you are inclined when you get the connector in from member that sent it, post some good pics, and we can tell you if your springs (striker and trigger) are factory and if the trigger spring is oriented correctly. |
