Connector Geometry & spring combinations EDUCATIONAL ONLY

[@Snowy0123]

I've learned more from johnny in a few hours than I learned from years of shooting Glock

[@jasonschmidt9569]

These two vids of yours are excellent. Simply because you seem to be the only person that explains all of the connectors instead of just the "3.5" pound connector - of which there is a million darn vids

[@DoWork316]

Great video with very clear description of all the components and why and how they relate.

[@markallen1413]

Hey man I’ve been going back to all the videos I’ve missed and it’s really awesome 👍👍👍👍👍keep up the great work dude...thanks!!!

[@paulnoone8318]

Excellent informative explanations of the workings and effects of connectors on trigger pulls and effect of the bend on the connector, which helped me with the issue I had with the connector rubbing too much on the slide. Thank you.

[@rudychavira5558]

Wow great video, got the double diamond, connector and competition spring kit, also different plunger and spring, see how it goes, try with new trigger spring, and stock, thanks for all the info

[@kennelson1559]

Love this stuff! Very nice video, thanks for all the info you share.

[@Zulutime44]

Great video, Johnny. It answered a number of questions I had about an upgraded trigger for my first Glock build, my ECD 42. Particularly the advice to use only OEM trigger springs. You mentioned two kinds of safety plunger springs, but no particular advice about OEM vs aftermarket. Thanks, - Z

[@X-ForceBro]

👍 really enjoyed the video man, it was great! 🙂

[@adamkrueger1257]

Very informative thank you. I got so many random parts I'm just going to polish this s*** out of everything and see how it works

[@dannpd1955]

Thank you for the info. Great video. I learned alot.

[@MWR-lg9qp]

Very informative stuff man. Thank you.

[@ShepherdOfTheSilkies]

This video is underrated

[@dans9228]

Great educational Video - thank you!

Should I trust the 4.5 Glock connecter

[@blakeroberts4038]

Just curious as to how trigger springs slow down reset ?? Is it the heavier trigger spring putting more rear force on trigger bar causing more resistance between striker spring and trigger spring ?

[@johnnyglocks]

Bingo that's exactly correct

[@ML-zu5ey]

Hey Johnny I recently purchased a Ghost Inc 3.5 Ultimate connector with the 6lb trigger spring. Should I skip installing the spring? If I'm honest, I don't understand the disadvantage you talked about in the video.

[@drewmorg.]

My Evo Elite properly filed down has almost no over travel, with a light and suuuper smooth (no wall) rolling break. 25 cent trigger job of course. It actually produces a "wow" from me.

[@dustyrhodes2717]

Wow

[@archangel20031]

So, my polymer 80 is jumping the connector! I got everything to assemble the gun and after assembly the firing pin safety was catching the shark fin locking up the gun. I polished and cleaned up the edges and it works the slide like it should. But when I pulled the trigger, the striker will not fire, and I can see from the back that the sear is sliding sideways instead of dropping down to release the striker!

[@mattweaver5196]

Awesome video. Really helpful, thx.

[@carlosfernandez1]

Because of arthritis in my fingers I like a flat triger. Can I just polish the triger on my Glock 43? Thanks in advance. Saludos Johnny.

[@softsmoken]

Lone wolf "triangles" have circular holes with the slots so you can push the trigger connector/ejector out of the triangle with a punch or whatever

[@CollierGunGirls]

Great video Mr. Johnny! We're starting to work on some G17s as we're moving up to big bore from rimfire. This video is a huge help. Maybe we'll just call you and have you do ours. Great channel! Subed

[@johnnyglocks]

CollierGunGirls 941-376-4383 don't be shy. BTW I'm putting up some more videos today. hope you like them.

[@CollierGunGirls]

COOL! Looking forward to them. We'll call you soon. Dad is very interested!

[@johnnyglocks]

CollierGunGirls sounds good you young ladies take care. I look forward to chatting some day soon.

[@RangerCaptain11A]

wow, thank you. that was a good education. i don't know if a glock trigger can mimic a 1911 trigger, but it seems possible with the correct connector and safety plunger spring. how close can you get without being dangerous?

[@johnnyglocks]

I can get it safely just as good as a 1911 action it's the feel of the hammer dropping that you cannot achieve with a Striker Fired weapon and of course it would be 110% safe

[@shaolin811]

Have a ghost edge connector for my glock 43. I assume the company Ghost made and designed the connector to work best with the stock trigger bar. I also just ordered a Zev Tech Pro Trigger for the glock 43. It comes with JUST the trigger bar. It doesn't come with a connector. Do you think it will have compatibility issues installing a different brand's trigger bar with a ghost edge connector?? will they work hand in hand? They're different brands. I'm afraid they may not work well together. Could this damage the gun?

[@desertrider325]

How do you fix the feed issue with the 42? I heard the 3.5lb connector fixes it.

[@johnnyglocks]

A connector will not fix feed issues. it's probably the follower of the magazine. also if it's an older 42 there are issues with those. if you're using anything after market there are always issues I don't care what manufacturer as far as + 1,2 extensions go. Also some ammo does not like the feed. if it's a continuing issue with the gun is all stock I would definitely send it to Glock they're very good about stuff like this

[@jasonmiller6200]

Is there a flat trigger shoe that allows the crucible to sit all the way forward on the shelf?? Everyone I’ve tried has the crucible sitting on the edge of the shelf. I’ve tried stock trigger bars, I’ve tried aftermarket. Please help me.

[@johnnyglocks]

I would have to say Apex is the most conservative one

[@jasonmiller6200]

JOHNNY GLOCKS the persona so putting an Apex trigger shoe on a OEM trigger bar would get the crucible sitting all the way forward?

[@johnnyglocks]

@@jasonmiller6200 not "all" the way but more on the drop shelf than most

[@jasonmiller6200]

JOHNNY GLOCKS the persona So having a flat trigger with the crucible sitting all the way back is pretty much impossible?

[@johnnyglocks]

@@jasonmiller6200 you mean all the way forward and yes pretty much

[@ecalzo]

wow amazing stuff here.. thank you so much johnny for sharing .. i run competition in IDPA class.. will you think a lone wolf connector will improve my trigger feelings? Now i'm shooting my glock 17 OEM.. with polished trigger bar, cruciform and connector which is a - connector.. the one you're referring the 4,5" connector for 3,5" trigger pull weight OH!! the other thing i've got in it it is the 6,5 pounds trigger return spring .. thanks if you will reply to me for helping me out with my glock..

[@TheColewind]

Very informative. Thanks you.

[@thomasswihart85]

Is that the evo or the edge connector?

[@johnnyglocks]

Evo

[@BillHimmel]

What is wrong with the 6lb connector? Why is it used so rarely? And what are the advantages of it? What do I get for my harder pull?

[@johnnyglocks]

BillHimmel from a plug-in play aspect you get total crap it's basically what the New York cops have which makes their trigger pulls 12 to 15 lb. Probably why they're first shot Center Mass hit percentage is 15%. Now what can be done with it from a gunsmith perspectives is a whole different story however it entails a lot of skill and changing of stock parts to pull it off reliably predictably and safe

[@BillHimmel]

Thought the NY cops had only changed the springs, not the connectors. Does the connector affect the trigger travel? Do I at least less of that in exchange for having more weight to pull? (Sorry I insist on this, but I really wonder what the "Plus Connector" is good for! There must have been a reason for Glock to make it!)

[@johnnyglocks]

BillHimmel there's going to be a lot of resistance but a quicker break and a much longer reset

[@BillHimmel]

Thanks!

[@vinnier6]

BillHimmel the nypd went to the ny trigger spring to make the trigger feel more like the revolver trigger they were used to...they kept having nd’s because they couldn’t keep their damn fingers off the trigger...I think Jonny was trying to use that to describe what you will get with the 6# connector

[@Fight4freedom.]

Johnny Glock’s please please please make a Glock 48 plunger and power reduced spring for the Glock 48! No one does!

[@yannickmichelet2502]

Can you get a 3,5 trigger without the roll?

[@ThomasShue]

My man, you have had too much caffeine here bro

[@johnnyglocks]

Exactly why I quit drinking coffee

[@ThomasShue]

@@johnnyglocks while so can't afford a Glock Smith, I love your videos and have been learning a ton watching your videos. I'll be putting in a ghost connector in my Gen5 G17 MOS, I wish I know everything nthat I could do to polish and refine the action on the stock parts and would love to learn how to file my own ghost connector for a custom fit and feel on my Glock action. I bet of someone was as great as you are, you could buy the best spring connecter steel and scratch build actions for Glocks. You really seem to know what your doing, who taught you?

[@johnnyglocks]

I taught myself I've been doing it for about 20 years

[@MrTactiCALi]

I have the Ghost 3.3 Pro connector with 6lb striker spring, reduced plunger spring, and 6lb trigger spring. Would a 4.5lb striker spring reduce the pull weight and still be reliable?

[@JohnnyButtercuts]

Behind Enemy Lines did you ever figure that out? Guess he didn’t see your question. I would just keep playing with the Springs at the range and see what works and what doesn’t. I wouldn’t go any less than factory striker spring weight because you’ll start running into problems. You also probably need similar spring weights to make the gun function smoothly and properly. If you get crazy, it might not function at all or just very inconsistently

[@pockets2100]

Not sure if you are aware of California laws, but I wanted a trigger for both my Glock 21 gen3 and my Glock 19 gen3 with short take up and short reset, and didn't want to fork out over $400.00 for a pair of triggers from Arsenal Democracy...please help...

[@calishark408_3]

I guess it’s time to ditch the 6lbs trigger spring. I had no idea it actually slows down the reset.

[@vinnier6]

Amazing

[@antj211]

I done fucked up my gun putting in that piece of shit ghost connector

[@orestino6212]

I have a lot of Glocks. My favorite is the Glock 45. What’s up with the stockings.

[@DoWork316]

Great video with very clear description of all the components and why and how they relate.

[@KneightRiduh]

Wondering if this is a connector related issue: when trigger depressed, and then held while I rack the slide to feel the reset, there is a hard wall before the slide unlocks and has to overcome this abrupt wall. So, dry fire, trigger held back, go to rack the slide to reset, and before that 1/4" of movement to reset there is a wall of some sort that has to break before it racks and resets. Without the trigger depressed it racks back smoothly as normal. Is that related to the connector?

[@ThatNoFbody-ch9ky]

I believe so I’m having the same problem if I’m reading this right when it’s about to go into battery and reset with ur trigger pressed down it’ll get caught up before resetting when u release the trigger?
