FUNCTIONAL FRIDAY connectors

This installment of functional Friday is all about connectors.
• Connector Geometry & s...

[@joeross952]

Those damn teachers told me I would need geometry later in life. Who knew?

[@bulleit9459]

Man Johnny! I’ve been shooting and working on my personal glocks for around 15 years and I thought I knew my way around a Glock. You just blew my mind with this latest knowledge bomb. You are pure genius my brother! I love it!

[@kennypowers443]

He is an absolute genius and his knowledge is so valuable..such an inspiration and kind for sharing his knowledge with us. Thank you Johnny glock we in the community definitely appreciate you more then you know

[@rclayton80]

I'm a tinkerer, its one of the reasons I love the Glock platform. I would totally buy a Johnny Glocks Book with all your accumulated knowledge.

[@user-tc2ud9fz3w]

OK, this had to be one of the most informative videos on Glock Connectors on KZbin. Thank you.

[@floorpizza8074]

I didn't think I'd ever understand the Black Magic Voodoo that is the connector. Then I watched this. Thank you, Johnny!

[@DallasJonez]

PLEASE write a book! That would be amazing! "Layman's guide to customizing your Glock Trigger"

[@kennethdonaldson4467]

Great job and you never ramble your information is point on!!!!

[@apeswhat2273]

Your 'old' YT stuff b4 you became 'famous' is the best. Period.

[@johnnyglocks]

You mean back when I had more time. Don't worry the glocksmithing curriculum I'm putting out is going to be stellar 👊👊 I won't let you down buddy

[@LeonardMichaelis]

@@johnnyglocks are the Ghost connectors any good ?

[@russhamilton8776]

I'd like to add: I just bought the Johnny Glocks Evolution X Drop-in Combat Trigger System with the add ons of the flat faced metal shoe and striker. I can honestly say - there is no G43X that will compare to mine! It has the best trigger and action I've ever felt on any Glock! Absolutely AMAZEBALLS!

[@timlyon2924]

I look forward to functional Friday fills my head full of knowledge

[@stevenbland2736]

"The Glock book" (illustrated). Can't wait for you to wright it.

[@user-tc2ud9fz3w]

You are a Genius on triggers, you explain very well when you are not doing OCD on the camera angles. Thank you giving that job to someone else. PS I will buy your book.

[@jamesdean8809]

Excellent as usual! I was going to order a trigger but until I hear what you’ve got up your sleeve, I’ll wait

[@heavysack]

So much free education in one video. Your doing the lords work

[@youvalhalvani6585]

Thank you, Johnny Glock, working in a guns shop I found up that your knowledge open new horizons for me . Amazing, simple, and sharpens my abilities to solve problems with clients and explains exactly how Glock runs properly. You good.

[@alphakilo9066]

Johnny, I have watched this video 6 or 8 times. Every time I watch it I learn something new. Thank you.

[@erice4611]

Another thing I believe controls how “snappy” a reset is the type of steel the connector is made out of and how springy the steel is. I personally like the Glock dot connector in my Gen 2 & 3 Glocks. I hate the “creep” in the minus connector.

[@okiecustompew]

I like how you explain everything! you make it allot easier to understand how everything works! thanks man!

[@dwainsw4076]

Mainly what I understand is that you understand at a level I’ll never understand. Thanks.

[@johnpawly1849]

Good stuff again Johnny thanks for taking your time and giving me all these nuggets. From Northern az still enjoying my G43 combat trigger

[@bakkencutter189]

Thanks for talking to me on the phone today. I appreciate the knowledge and wisdom. I said I was gonna wait a couple months but decided to just pull the trigger and placed my order. Thanks again.

[@jaymez858]

Thanks for another great video. They're getting better than year's past. I never thought I wanted to experiment with an 8lb trigger until now.

[@designated_hitter_EGA]

AWESOME!!! Yes, very awesome videos, and always much appreciated Johnny. Never a video of yours that I don't come away from learning something new. Please keep them coming and I don't think there is a person that thinks your rambling...it knowledge your sharing. Thank you again.

[@Lotus2885]

I'm pretty green when it comes to Glock, and I've been devouring your videos trying to figure out the best trigger set up for my Gen 35 that will be used for Limited USPSA. Right now, I use a Canik TP9SFX with a Freedomsmith trigger, and Galloway Precision lightened spring kit. Almost no take up, zero over travel, sitting around 3lbs. I'd like to build something similar but jesus am I deep in the weeds trying to figure out what to do. Thank for these incredible videos...I'm learning a ton, including learning that I have a lot to learn!

[@m.s.a-technicaldiving377]

A true class. Thanks! I have done what I learnt from you in all my glocks, and man... what a difference.

[@stevenfuchs2548]

As a machinist in my earlier life, this stuff is COOL. Your videos are EXCELLENT! I am learning a lot of awesome and useful information! Thanks for what you both do, I'm hooked.

[@Trinder3]

Great content, love how insightful you are and the energy you bring to the industry.

[@tindoortailgator]

Johnny, Thanks for the Excellent Explanation and Drawing - Much Clearer Now, Have a Great Weekend...

[@stevankaighen2471]

Johnny, I’m just seeing your videos for the first time and I appreciate what you’re saying and how you say it. This was an awesome video on Glock connectors. You completely twisted my brain to understand a lot more about the Glock connector and the different approach angles with their subsequent trigger output. Well done! ID LOVE TO SEE MORE ON WHAT ARE THE RESULTANT TRIGGER ACTIONS WHEN YOU CHANGE THE CONNECTOR ANGLE RELATIVE TO THE TRIGGER HOUSING. In converse to the resultant trigger actions when changing the connector angle of engagement in relation to the trigger bar. Hope this make sense…cheers! More, give us more!!

[@mikethefireman6696]

Book!?! I'm ready to pre-order and take my money!!! Awesome information and great video, thank you sir.

[@jimmybare3026]

The only video I'm thinking about the day before it happens. Appreciate you sharing your trade secrets. 👍

[@5jjt]

I learned more in this connector video than the previous one. More info presented here in less space. That's efficiency. Excellent job explaining the nuances. Great stuff!

[@kirbyshepherd]

This is a video that will require watching over and over to really get this. Awesome video with extreme detail!

[@scottbrown8489]

Hey Johnny. Just wanted to say I like all your info video's on glocks. I was having massive trigger problems. And thanks to you I was able to figure it out. Thanks again, and keep up the good work

[@johntube2525]

Great video, I finally understand the break point and the contact point and the distance varies with the different connector angles. Great job illustrating.

[@GeroLubovnik]

Wow... Best explanation of connector function that I've ever heard. A lot of things make perfect sense now. Thanks for doing these.

[@johngalt3568]

Thanks Johnny. I like this series.

[@DesertTactical]

Great video. Great info. Just got into building and fine tuning my glocks or glock clones and this was very useful info!

[@JHolewka]

Thanks Johnny! Great information this week!!

[@stewdun2426]

Cant wait for the announcement! Defintely learned more about connector -explaining the angle and distance was very helpful...

[@Jasondranoff]

Your like a mad scientist, I've learned so much from watching these videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@jims261]

Awesome JG thanks for what you do

[@rodneypittman101]

You remind me off an old friend Johnny Glock Keep up the good work Man

[@johnnorris7112]

Exceptional description of connector geometry !

[@tn-s197]

Great informative video as always, love you're channel and your work bro, seriously nobody puts out the tech stuff like you....thanks as always and keep up the awesome work 💪

[@mikeoffical532]

JCG back with another one!! Thanks bro!

[@strodder7027]

awesome stuff as always.

[@mikechurchill1071]

Love this videos let’s resurrect it so it’s comes out every Friday!!

[@stevenmeddles2454]

Thanks for the great info.

[@russhamilton8776]

Wow! Amazing, my head exploded about halfway through...

[@joshg0h79]

I love learning. Great video. Thank you sir!

[@erikbrigham8807]

Just when you think you might know something about how triggers work, Johnny blows your mind.

[@polemicvs]

😎Thanks Dr Glockologist!

[@farmboy5433]

I own three JG trigger's & soon will be buying more! Thanks for the great info Johnny!

[@rb89509]

I finally bought my first Glock clone, the Polymer80 PFC9 and bought two parts to mod it's trigger. The Ghost Edge 3.5 kit and a Zev Flat faced non adjustable pro trigger. Using the lighter safety plunger spring along with the 4 lb. striker spring I ended up with a 2.5 pound trigger pull. (Much lighter than I expected) This isn't a carry pistol and I would think it would be dangerous to do so. But this combination along with the Ghost 6 lb. trigger return spring, I ended up with a faster and lighter trigger than any of my other pistols including my 1911. This only cost $128 total.

[@tross2420]

your videos are awesome! learning lots

[@donselman2123]

Great video! Thanks!

[@GTacticalJody]

Crazy informative thanks JG

Rock on Dude! Mitch the discount

[@michaelbrewer440]

Good stuff👍

[@PopsGunChannel]

WHOA !!!!! I just learned soooooooooo much and can't wait to experiment

[@theunofficialresults231]

Good stuff.

[@leefra1]

Great explanation for us interested in trigger functionality. Have you ever thought of building a large scale wooden mock up of the Glock trigger system? It would be easier for us to understand exactly how it is functioning. Thanks, you truly the Trigger King. Much appreciated!

[@08lerash]

@JohnnyGlock

[@THATMOFODIRT]

Good stuff

[@leonardcianciotto547]

Love it!

[@SandyBoone]

You SHOULD write a book! I'll be waiting for it!

[@stxchlffl1185]

Amazing vid. Very knowledgeable presentation. One question I’ve looking for a trigger jig similar what you used on this video the orange or gray jig. Would you share info on where to get those jigs?

[@davidmacnab5213]

Wow. Has anyone EVER given away so many trade secrets? Really appreciate the insights to your magic!

[@mikechurchill1071]

About the 5th time watching this video and I always learn something when I do. I just swapped in the apex trigger and connector and idk if I felt that much of a difference on the break compared to the dot. Gen 5 G45. Looking at a minus or a ghost edge next to test and maybe tune.

[@jameskeenan1351]

Just ordered a combat trigger and it gets here on Tuesday

[@joewalker6931]

For my G45 I’m looking for the cleanest break. No rolling break. Not worried about the speed of the reset. It will reset faster than I can shoot. Haha. Would I choose your 5.0 DOT or 5.5 connector? Amazing video. Learned a ton. Keep it up.

[@jensenwilliam5434]

Thank you!!!!

[@nickl3872]

Thank you as always

[@lucasrosa5912]

this is awesome dude! Down here in Brazil I can't find this kind of quality work AND didactic around. Are you planning on recording a full armorer's course on glocks? Even with the fucked up USD/BRL exchange ratio (right now I can barely make 1000 usd/month) I'd scrape up some coins to buy your course! I ain't even an aspiring armorer, I'm just a mechanical engineer who shoots and enjoys learning all kinds of shit about his hard earned and payed for glock hahaha Cheers from Brazil!

[@coreysuttles1362]

I'm really digging these thank you for doing this!!

[@joed3264]

The best connector ever made was the Scherer. I have hoarded 6 of them. I designed the LWD connector for J R Shepard. It took six tries for them to get it right.

[@johnnyglocks]

I have a few Scherer myself. I did not know you designed the LWD342 👍👍👏👏

[@joed3264]

@@johnnyglocks Unfortunately J R is no longer with LWD.

[@dloverland]

Awesome Video brother! FYI, tried the Timney trigger yesterday. I like your competition trigger better. The Timney is nice but the trigger reset is not.

[@DallasJonez]

If I want my new timney trigger to have a more aggressive reset... and I'm using a ghost 3.5 # spring... just bend it out a little?

[@comanche6943]

JG what are your thoughts on the NY trigger spring in your defensive carry trigger group? I have 2 of your carry triggers in my 19’s, I just acquired a Gen 4 23, considering setting it up for .357 Sig daily carry. I was told that the NY spring will function even if the spring breaks not sure if that’s true? As always appreciate your wisdom & expertise! PS. Grew up shooting double action revolves-heavy trigger pull not a prob.

[@brucebanner6149]

Fascinating! So the Minus connector makes the break longer And softer? And bending the connector in only softens the reset and doesn't make the trigger break lighter?

[@alphaomega5721]

Definitely the Glock Whisperer....

[@dgilly716]

Great informative video even tho im confused as hell..lol.for a gen 5 19, what is the best 3.5 connector you can get?

[@jeremiahramos5526]

First off I gotta say man I can understand what you’re explaining so well I literally picture it in my brain brfore you finish “rambling” and actually illustrate what you’re saying. And secondly would you ever consider taking on an outsider apprentice? I seriously want to become a gunsmith and I like your style of teaching man. So I’m serious if you’d consider it please get at me and let me know what I’ve gotta do to get it done.

[@subin8921]

Johnny i have a timney glock trigger kit. For a gen 3 g17. Which connector would you recommend I get to match with the kit? Thanks. 🤙

[@CarbonGlassMan]

You probably know what my problem is. I have a Glock 23 gen 3. I took the Timney Alpha 3-4 trigger out of a 4th gen Glock 17 and put the Timney trigger in my gen 3 Glock 23. I have a dot connector that also came out of the G17 gen 4 and I put that in my gen 3 G23 too. Anyway, my G23 gen 3 will not fire now. I get nothing but the lightest of primer strikes. I put the factory Glock trigger back in my Gen 3 Glock 23 and it shoots just fine again. Is the dot connector not compatable with the Timney Alpha 3-4 trigger?

[@halstonhilburn]

Hey Johnny! What’s your thoughts on the ghost PRO connector for the Glock 43. It has a tab that is fileable for over travel.

[@GaryStowe9510]

What is the Best Glock connector to use in a 42 ?

[@delmarsmith622]

Just built a Glock using the freedom wolf frame, all gen 4 oem parts except a zev connector and spring. Gen 5 completely stock g19 slide. Gun is randomly burst firing. Any ideas? Plunger spring is fine.

[@monsta3038]

Ok if i use a 3.5 connector with a stock trigger spring and reduced power on safety nuband a stock striker spring will i get a nice crisp trigger and still use hard primer ammo ?

[@complexteo-iwnl3321]

1:05 touched my heart

[@charles17508]

What is the best conector that light but has a wall ?

[@Tron2pointOh]

At 12:34 you're talking about how the reset is shorter on lighter connectors and longer resets on higher pound connecters. There you go. You're the one saying it.

[@youngtrav8696]

If also gets further back right along the break line so that would be what?

[@markallen1413]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@broot1375]

I have a ss mr 920 and although trigger is decent on it...it is somewhat spongy. I dont want a lighter trigger but a more crisp break. So something along the lines of smooth takeup ( dont care if its a bit long) then firm wall to crisp break with a good positive reset. I like the trigger shoe that is on it now so can I get decent results by simply changing connector? If so what brand and weight? Thanks to anyone that can assist in this undertaking in advance
