Dec 17, 2017 · You really should measure the pull weight with a reliable scale so you have a solid starting point. Stock should be 5.5 lbs but I'm pretty sure Glock doesn't measure this as a QC point and there can be tolerance stacking causing + - several oz. Maybe as high as 6 lbs.
Jul 19, 2022 · The standard Glock trigger pull (with a 5.5-lb connector) runs around 6-7 pounds, but that was WAY too light for some police departments whose officers were sorely undertrained and had more than several instances of negligent discharges. This situation led to the New York and New York Plus Glock triggers.

May 13, 2021 · I have both a 5 pound and 5.5 pound spring in my kit, so either spring could replace the 4.5 pound spring in about 90 seconds and I think with a heavier spring would bring the trigger pull up to 4.5-4.75 pounds. Is there any practical reason why I would want a heavier trigger pull?

Good trigger discipline can eliminate a large portion of those “I accidentally shot myself in the leg” stories you read about. It all boils down to one thing…keeping your finger off that little curved thingy until your ready to put a hole in something. This needs to be something beyond a conscious effort. This needs to be practiced and driven home ...
In a perfect world, you would have a rock-solid grip and ignite the gunpowder by just thinking. But of course, we have to deal with mechanical inputs and human reactions. As a beginner shooter, you know there’s going to be a loud bang with some recoil. So you will likely press the trigger fast to get everything over with, which adds some movement t...
Anyway, back to the 3.5 things that can go wrong with your trigger pull… Number 1:First and foremost is jerking the trigger. You don’t want to just yank it all the way back as hard as you can. You want to squeeze it smoothly and consistently every time. When I say “squeeze” I literally mean squeeze it like you’re trying to slowlysquish one of those...
In the end, dry fire practiceis a great way to get your trigger pull down without spending a lot of cash on bullets and range time. It is not, however, a substitute for range time. You still need live fire to learn how to compensate for recoil and to see if your dry fire practice is paying off. Keep it slow, keep it smooth and follow through every ...

Oct 4, 2021 · Glock does make a + connector for the 43/43x that takes the pull to 8lbs. It’s part number 33847. I have to warn you though, it’s makes the trigger feel like squeezing a brick. For Gen4 and prior, Glock makes a NY2 spring that increases the trigger to 12 lbs.
The most famous example is the Glock New York trigger that weighs approx 8 lbs, and even worse is the New York plus that has a trigger pull weight of 12 lbs. Remember if your pistol weighs 2 lbs loaded, and you have an 8 pound trigger pull, it will take 4 times the loaded weight of the the handgun to make it fire.
May 22, 2020 · The answer is neither: it depends on what you need. Heavier trigger pulls require a little more time and energy to fully squeeze. This makes firing a rapid shot slower by tenths of a second compared to someone squeezing a trigger with a light pull weight. However, heavy trigger pulls can serve a purpose.
