| What is exactly replaced to get a NY trigger? I watch the animation and I do not see any springs that affect the trigger other than the spring that actualy pulls the trigger to the rear. |
The NY trigger spring replaces the standard spring. ETA: The standard spring helps you pull the trigger. The NY spring pushes up on the trigger bar making it harder for the connector to push the trigger bar down, clearing the cruciform from blocking the firing pin.  |
I am not from New York, but I may very well be mentally underdeveloped. Nevertheless I will offer the following comments. The NY-2 spring as shown in the photo would result in a very hard trigger pull. However, the NY-1 spring still provides a reasonably decent pull weight (~7.5-8 lbs) and is more durable than the stock coil spring. |
More durable in the long run yes, but it's not a terribly common failure. The heavy trigger does make it more difficult to shoot accurately in my opinion. |
In thousands of rounds I've only seen three parts break.
Because reliability is paramount, I've often considered transitioning to the NY spring. Some people prefer the crisper trigger reset as well. |
| If you get a 3lb connector, and the NY-1 spring...you have what they call a "smooth" 5.5lb trigger pull. With stock parts, you have a very loose trigger till the reset point...if you put the light connector and the ny-1 spring, its the same trigger pull all the way from the front to back. its all a matter of preference. |
| I put the NY1 trigger spring in my G22 and G27 and I love them. My factory trigger sucked in both and the smooth consistent pull I have now is well worth it. I should mention I shoot revolvers quite a bit and am used to a longer and heavier trigger pull, but I won't own a glock without the NY1 trigger from here on out. |
More durable in the long run yes, but it's not a terribly common failure. The heavy trigger does make it more difficult to shoot accurately in my opinion. I shoot the NY1 trigger just fine, and actually appreciate its snappier reset. And yes, standard trigger spring breakage IS a common failure in HIGH USE Glocks, if not THE most common failure in my experience. |
| I thought that if the trigger spring breaks the slide movement would still reset the trigger. The only difference is that trigger will be very loose during the first part of the pull. Is that correct? Isn't it really a trigger return spring at least when using the standard spring? |
