I'm trying this combo in my Glock 35. A 3.5 pound connector with a NY1 spring. I think I like it. It seems quite a bit crisper then just the 3.5 connector and the standard trigger spring. The reset doesn't seem to have changed much, although it too may be crisper.
I'm doing a class next week, expect to shoot 1200 rounds or so. We'll see how it works.
Anybody else try this combo?
I have shot a glock with a 3.5 connector but never knew the NY trigger used a heavier spring on top of the connector. I keep the stock connector for ccw but if that combo makes it lighter but not as light as the 3.5 I might consider it for ccw.
Let us know. :)
I just got home. Five days on the CSP academy indoor range. I lost track of the ammo count. According to the CSP trigger pull gauge, this combo breaks at 6.5 pounds. So the NY1 spring adds 3 pounds to the pull.
One thing I did notice, the spring pushes forward on the trigger when at rest. This is due to the way the spring sits in the housing. When you field strip the pistol, you'll need to do the regular field strip procedure, but then you'll need to pull the trigger once the slide starts forward. If you don't pull the trigger it will be very difficult to push the slide forward and off the frame.
I have been shooting the regular 5 pound connector in my issued 23 and in my personal 19. The 3.5 in my 35 was nice, but too light for me, and it gave me some concern when I carried it on duty. To be honest I can't tell any difference in the trigger pull between the 5 pound connector and this combo.
That being said, the reset is the thing. And if you like a clean crisp break, and a solid palpable reset, then this may be for you. There were several other POG's there, (personally owned Glocks,) including a 21 and a 24. They both came with stock 5 pound connectors, and by the end of the class left with this set up.
A good reset helps you prep the trigger faster for the next shot. And Although I didn't get to shoot this one as much as I wanted to, I am very pleased with the results so far.

I also came up with a fun new training aid. I took some of my old 9mm ten round magazines, and took them apart. I was left with the mag body and the floorplate. I put the floorplate on and left the guts out. This is a great tool for practicing mag changes and tap/rack exercises. You can slam in one of these and rack the slide, without needing to hit the slide release. I'll probably add some orange floorplates to designate them as training aids.
I'll post a class review and some pictures when I get a chance.
