People complain about Glock triggers but I don't see a problem with them. No matter what you do to the triggers they'll never be a 1911 trigger, never. So with that said I prefer the stock trigger and dry fire a lot, it gets me more capable of squeezing the trigger and keeping the muzzle on target. Practice makes perfect.
All my Glocks get the same treatment. 3.5lb connector, Ranger proof shoe, and a deep polish on all metal to metal. The benefits of the polishing and the connector are obvious. The geometry of the Ranger Proof trigger shoe removes all of the slop/creep.
I love watching Lenny’s videos. He is one person who can keep your attention the whole time. I can’t tell you how much I’ve improved watching your videos.
Improved your measly 5 minute attention span? Don't worry, it is the world standard and probably why people are half as intelligent compared to 50 years ago...
Lenny needs to have a series of videos devoted to salesmanship. He has the knowledge. The love of the product shows. He also has the intangibles, presence and voice.
Lenny, your awesome Buddy great clear instructions. I ran my 43x and 45 in stock form for a year and they did get smoother over that year but still not as good as I was hoping for. So right after watching this video I ordered for both an eazy install 10 minutes, keeping all stock springs gave a 4.5 lbs. smooth shorter take up to wall , clean CRISP Brake , quicker to reset , altogether it's smoother easier pull to brake it does help with accuracy . At just $25 it was a great improvement. Thanks Lenny .
If you want to keep your pins looking new, use a brass pin punch, or even better a plastic/polymer/nylon one -- provided your pins come out fairly easily.
You are the most interesting firearms teacher Ive ever seen.You make learning an absolute pleasure.Fun and entertaining.Great content too! Cant think of anyone else with your personality and style.No obscenity, no hate, just a real gentleman.Never change.
I have gotten used to my stock Glock triggers. I polish and lubricate any metal on metal, and dry fire a good amount. For me that smooths out and lightens everything up, plus dry firing is good practice for steady trigger pull.
@@nfaisnfgay Glock leg. Sure. Any idiot with a pistol can negligent discharge. And shoot themselves in the leg. Glocks don’t fire unless you pull the trigger. Sigs however….
@@EyeForKnowledge. Say that again, but slowly. We’re literally experiencing Glock leg 2.0. Cops would say the exact same thing during Glock Leg. “It fired on it’s own!!!”
I just received a glock gen 5 after finishing up my 4 day training with my gen 5 in Georgia (Awsome course Patriot trainingcenter, worth the traveling and money.) I've done some practice shooting over the yrs. Keeping up my skills after serving in Army. So I thought the shooting part of the class was going to be easy, but the trigger really trip me up. Lol I was going to sell it and buy a Glock 17 which I had owned before and liked the control I had. BUT, Now after watching your video it gave me the aha inlighten me💡 So grateful I came across your video! Definitely will be watching more of them. Thanks Lenny
Sir I love your videos. You explain things so well. You articulate very well but don’t make us feel stupid. I watch your videos even if it’s something I have no interest in doing to my Glock. Thank you for all of your hard work for this community. I hope to get up to your place in Nashville soon.
I put the double diamond connector in my p80 glock 26 build because I accidentally snapped the original connector that came with the parts kit while building the gun. I took it to the gun range and my gun now shoots like a switch. Every time I pull the trigger it shoots out of control. With the original connector, it shot normal. Would you say there's something wrong with my gun or is that common for the double diamond connector to shoot so fast like that?
@@magicjordan9131 the double diamond works well in a stock glock. the p80 frames are probably a little different. are you using a stock glock trigger housing? I recommend to use all stock parts other than the connector and springs if you can. Another thing to check when that happens is to bend the connector to be the same angle as the stock glock connector. It should stick out a little bit, but not to the point of dragging on the frame. Until you figure it out, I would recommend to only load 2 bullets at a time!
@@vmanshooting great solution and advice thanks homie😎👌. Im goin to see what happens when I buy factory glock parts and install them instead but I can say that I'm almost certain I bent the connector the right way because when I didn't bend it at all the gun wouldn't even fire( or sometimes it would fire 1 shot and then jam afterwards). So with a little trial and error I finally bent it enough to where it can be fired but Now it shoots WAYYYY to fast. Like as soon as I even think about touching the trigger it sends 2-3 shots down range (which looks bad ass but not ideal for accuracy and also not allowed at my local gun range). Someone also just told me its doing this because the double diamond connector is meant for competitive shooters to shoot faster and the competitive shooters are used to the speed or something like that which kinda makes sense but I'm not too sure how true that is. Im just goin to do what you suggested and call it a day thanks again
I improved my g19 trigger by over polishing it. Now I get two shots for the effort of one! Haha. Actually I need to replace those parts now because I got “trigger” happy with my dremel and polishing compound.
A Dremel can be dangerous! Think HumbleMarksman has a Gen 5 Glock 25 cent trigger job video - uses just an emery board and a q-tip with polishing compound. Did the trick for me.
I installed one on my Glock 17. The stock trigger was very long. Now before the criticism I shoot a lot. I train every weekend. I have a bull armory 1911 and I love that trigger. The trigger on the Glock was 6 lbs. I was on the range yesterday and I shot so so much better and confident.
I dont think anyone should be criticized for hating the glock triggers. Glocks are great baselines for an awesome price. But that trigger is mushy and much too heavy for a handgun
Hey Mr. Magill :) I just installed one for my G48. The bang switch IS noticeably lighter now. It made all of my parts rest differently and made reassembly difficult, usually the thing comes apart and together very easily. Overall the change was very worth the investment equal to the price of lunch.
4.5/pound striker spring, reduced safety plunger spring and my trigger is already 3.5-3.75. I just ordered the D.D. 3.5 connector can't wait to see how light & accurate it is when I get it put in.
So thankful for your knowledge, how u explain/present !! Your how to videos & your demeanor like it’s first time explaining ithe procedures again !! Amazing , learned a lot !!! Too 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yes he put them both back. Used his little hammer and even finished it off with the punch. First one clicked( he talked about it) second one he made sure was flush on both sides & spoke on how it didn’t rub on his grip. I almost missed it too. He was talking about not wanting to waller out your holes.
Hard to know what's best for CCW. You want a light trigger for accuracy and quicker follow-ups or do you want a heavier trigger for safety? I think heavier... but I'm not sure if it really makes a difference (with safety).
Just follow the 4 rules of gun safety, and if you're ever in a self-defense shooting, don't say anything stupid to the cops. Accidents aren't self-defense, and self-defense isn't an accident. Personally, I don't mess with triggers on my EDC firearms, I just do a lot of training, dry fires, etc., and really it doesn't matter how heavy the trigger is as long as I'm used to it. I figure the stock trigger is very reliable and I want reliability in my EDC. I save the gucci triggers for my target pistols and nicest rifles.
@@fakecubed True, a trigger isn't gonna pull itself. A lot of people prefer DA/DASA for safety, but there are many people that carry SA (or striker fired) guns with no safety... and they never go off without the trigger being pulled (with extremely few exceptions). On Glocks, I actually prefer the 8lb connector. It's kinda like a heavy single action. Good for carry IMO.
Why is the improved, 3 1/2 pds trigger pull, kit not installed at the factory? Should only be a very small increase in price during the manufacturing process, if any.
I'm not interested in lightening the trigger. I am much more interested in a distinct wall for staging the trigger. I have found that the Gen 5 have almost zero wall, making it impossible for ME to safely stage the trigger 😭 Looking at Johnny's 5lb connector as a possible solution. Opinions & insights???
That is why I like the hard wall of Gen 3; my understanding is that these 3.5 connectors would make my wall mushier (creep) which now is hard wall with no creep.
@@gracedagostino5231 Shortly after this post, I emailed Johnny at Johnny Glocks, and he recommended his 5.5. So I did; lubed it, installed it, dry fired it, live fired it... Love it!
@@dgilly716 My OP and follow-up explain exactly why 😉 The pull weight is just fine for me with the pistol kept in an AIWB holster. I simply wanted a "two stage" trigger 🤷♂️
Tweaking the parts yourself is the best approach. Polish hardly does anything unless you're just taking off burs or something that shouldn't be there. Starting with a P80 is maybe the best since sometimes the rear rails will sit a fraction higher than Glock. My sears have well over 50% engagement but feel like absolute butter because I tweaked that engagement. In reality something like 20% is going to work. Not recommended for a carry gun but it will work and have an incredible break. The sear is the key part to the tweaking of the break but everything else is stuff like getting the perfect bend on the connector. Little polish here and there can get rid of grit but not really reduce the pull. It's almost impossible for me to slowly ride through the break on a nicely tuned oem trigger whereas I can do that with almost any other striker fired pistol.
I continue to use the Glock factory applied Copper colored lubrication. I find Glock copper colored Bronze Oilite Anti-friction lubricant is the Best for the trigger friction points. I found 3 sources of Glock factory applied Copper colored lubrication on the internet. 10.0ml of lubricant will last a very long time. ❤
I have Glock 19, Gen 4. I am from India, when I fired India 9mm ammunition maximum ammunition missed fire, how can I solve this problem? Please help me.
Dear sir. I watched very carefully this video and try to learn from it. However , while reassembling the light trigger you've neglected the insertion of (what you called axle pin) and yet the gun was functioning all right. Is it possible at all or maybe I missed something?
Bought a Dagger SW4 GatorMouth Complete Upper for my G19X Lower.. I have the 3lb Black Yikes connector, Polished everything, Trigger Spring Kit & a O.W. Precision TAC Trigger FDE/Red with my Dagger Upper on, I get 2.7lb straight smooth & very short pull w/ a forced short reset. However, when I put my Stock G19X Upper back on, I get a gritty, longer 5lb consistent pull. Very odd.
A rubber hammer is fine, if you're bashing on the gun itself, but it makes hammering on a pin punch twice as much work because instead of delivering a solid blow, the rubber soaks up the power exerted from the hammer. Better to use a metal hammer when using punches.
Thanks for sharing Lenny, great video, well demonstrated. Nice to know this option is available if one chooses after the gun has had some break-in time.
So, I shot my G19 50 rounds since 1994...SO, I''ll need a 2.5 pound replacement part? Right? I don't waste my ammo...it's like riding a bike for me...reflex action...So, last week I fired it a second time...trigger is very stiff and I'm retired now to tweak it...I can snap shoot and point shoot...no aiming...
Thanks Lenny. I honestly don’t see why all the bad mouthing that goes on here in these interwebs. Dude looks tough to me. I know what I would and would not say to his face. Therefore I keep that ethos here. That said…is this about the only thing I should do to my G45 for a reliable trigger? I’m not all that confident in changing much els in the gen 5 trigger mechanism. It honestly feels perfect to me especially after shooting several other guns. I also know eventually I’ll have to replace my slide rod. And want to know in full honesty whether a tungsten or (in my opinion for longevity) a stainless rod? Or just get a brand new factory plastic and continue to replace em as needed?
If you have your firearm set up to where It makes you a better shooter then by all means go for it, if you have training and have the proof that you pulled the trigger when you absolutely had to it doesn't matter, the only mentality you should have is to be humble, respectful, and prepared, yeah an overzealous prosecutor is absolutely gonna try and chew you out over aftermarket parts n stuff but regardless, parts doesn't matter, it's about why and how the lethal engagement started and what you do to defend yourself, be safe out there partner.
I love the thorough and careful explanations. Very helpful. I have to admit to a bit of a wry smile when discussing how that pesky ambidextrous slide release control could possibly be bothersome to a right hander. As a lefty, all I can say is Boo Hoo! LOL!
Thank you for a great presentation Lenny. I ordered the double diamond connector. Just out of curiosity, how does the connector shortens the trigger distance? Also, when are you getting the flat pyramid trigger back in stock? This is my next purchase.
This can be done without buying new parts. If you're careful with a file and hit the right places you can cut the trigger pull almost in half. And make it a lot smoother.
Bought two of these. One was so far off that it would not fit into the housing slot. The other binds the action so badly that it is very difficult to rack the slide. Just for shits I dremeled 1/64 off the bottom edge of the first one in order for it to lay in the track. Threw both in trash.
I don't know what it is but I like this guy.... He seems like a cool dude I wonder what his gun collection looks like and for some reason I get the feeling that he nailed hella chicks in his day 😂😂
I put the double diamond connector in my p80 glock 26 build because I accidentally snapped the original connector that came with the parts kit while building the gun. I took it to the gun range and my gun now shoots like it has a switch. Every time I pull the trigger it shoots out of control and sends multiple shots down range. I literally didn't know what to do. I could not control the speed at which the bullets were firing from the pistol and out of fear of injury and also becaus the gun range instructors were not having it. I had to put my p80 26 away and rented a factory glock 26 from them with a regular trigger so I didn't have to spoil the trip and still get some shooting in. When I had the original connector installed, it was shooting normal at the range(1 shot at a time). Would you say there's something wrong with my gun? or is that common for the double diamond connector to shoot so fast like a switch? Its really embarrassing when you're at a gun range and your gun is shooting faster then the rules allow and everyone else is looking at you in shame because you can't control your gun. Plus I also fear the shooting fast and out of control would not help in self defense which is why I bought the gun (for self defense). If I had to defend myself I want to get shots on target not just shooting all over the place hitting everything else
I've been looking through the GS book that came in the mail months ago. it's the catalog with the 43 on the front. I'm thinking of buying one of the connectors. a few people told me to go with ghost Inc. I have one in my 17 but I think I want to check out the GS Double Diamond connector
I installed a black yikes in my Glock 19 gen 5. And my trigger pull is still 5.5 - 6 lbs. I’ve installed many connectors before, and can’t figure why the trigger pull is still that heavy. Anyone out there know why?????
I've been a gun guy since I was a kid. I am 75 now... and I always learn something new from Lenny's videos. I also like his clear presentations and friendly attitude.

@@gracedagostino5231 Shortly after this post, I emailed Johnny at Johnny Glocks, and he recommended his 5.5. So I did; lubed it, installed it, dry fired it, live fired it... Love it!
@davidhartley6232 why did you go with the 5.5 over others like say the 3.5? Doesn't the stock trigger have about same weight as the one you bought?
@@dgilly716 My OP and follow-up explain exactly why 😉
The pull weight is just fine for me with the pistol kept in an AIWB holster. I simply wanted a "two stage" trigger 🤷♂️
Tweaking the parts yourself is the best approach. Polish hardly does anything unless you're just taking off burs or something that shouldn't be there. Starting with a P80 is maybe the best since sometimes the rear rails will sit a fraction higher than Glock. My sears have well over 50% engagement but feel like absolute butter because I tweaked that engagement. In reality something like 20% is going to work. Not recommended for a carry gun but it will work and have an incredible break.
The sear is the key part to the tweaking of the break but everything else is stuff like getting the perfect bend on the connector. Little polish here and there can get rid of grit but not really reduce the pull. It's almost impossible for me to slowly ride through the break on a nicely tuned oem trigger whereas I can do that with almost any other striker fired pistol.
My Gen 3 19C only has 2 pins. Is that because they were made in Austria, etc?
I continue to use the Glock factory applied Copper colored lubrication. I find Glock copper colored Bronze Oilite Anti-friction lubricant is the Best for the trigger friction points. I found 3 sources of Glock factory applied Copper colored lubrication on the internet. 10.0ml of lubricant will last a very long time. ❤
why would you add .0?
I have Glock 19, Gen 4. I am from India, when I fired India 9mm ammunition maximum ammunition missed fire, how can I solve this problem? Please help me.
Thanks. Really great instructional video and very good delivery.
First. Super great walkthrough. I have a 43X. Dont see it listed in the description fitting the X. Do you carry it for the X?
Dear sir. I watched very carefully this video and try to learn from it. However , while reassembling the light trigger you've neglected the insertion of (what you called axle pin) and yet the gun was functioning all right. Is it possible at all or maybe I missed something?
Well said and good advice. Thanks Lenny
Bought a Dagger SW4 GatorMouth Complete Upper for my G19X Lower..
I have the 3lb Black Yikes connector, Polished everything, Trigger Spring Kit & a O.W. Precision TAC Trigger FDE/Red
with my Dagger Upper on, I get 2.7lb straight smooth & very short pull w/ a forced short reset.
However, when I put my Stock G19X Upper back on, I get a gritty, longer 5lb consistent pull.
Very odd.
is it applicable with Glock performance trigger to make it lighter even more? thanks
How do I send in my Glock slide to get it cut for optics
What about the both gen 3 Glock 17 & 23?
What is your opinion on dry fire, will it damage firing pin. I use snap caps.
I used this connector in 2 glocks…I reduced pull weight to 4.5 lbs, and it gives a decent wall…
A rubber hammer is fine, if you're bashing on the gun itself, but it makes hammering on a pin punch twice as much work because instead of delivering a solid blow, the rubber soaks up the power exerted from the hammer. Better to use a metal hammer when using punches.
lazy
This might be the solution to my Glock 19 because my shot placement is very inconsistent with it. (I have pretty small hands)
Lenny you are old school cool, I've watched a lot of your old school VHS videos, yes cheesy by today's standards. But the information was solid.
What's the 8lbs connector like? I've heard people say they like it, which seems counter intuitive.
Thanks for sharing Lenny, great video, well demonstrated. Nice to know this option is available if one chooses after the gun has had some break-in time.
Can’t find trigger upgrade for G20SF. Do you have one?
What have you got for a Gen 5 G17 and Gen 5 G45?
Good info! Thanks helps a lot!
So, I shot my G19 50 rounds since 1994...SO, I''ll need a 2.5 pound replacement part? Right? I don't waste my ammo...it's like riding a bike for me...reflex action...So, last week I fired it a second time...trigger is very stiff and I'm retired now to tweak it...I can snap shoot and point shoot...no aiming...
Thanks Lenny. I honestly don’t see why all the bad mouthing that goes on here in these interwebs. Dude looks tough to me. I know what I would and would not say to his face. Therefore I keep that ethos here. That said…is this about the only thing I should do to my G45 for a reliable trigger? I’m not all that confident in changing much els in the gen 5 trigger mechanism. It honestly feels perfect to me especially after shooting several other guns. I also know eventually I’ll have to replace my slide rod. And want to know in full honesty whether a tungsten or (in my opinion for longevity) a stainless rod? Or just get a brand new factory plastic and continue to replace em as needed?
What are the possible legal ramifications of having the gunfighter mentality prior to a lethal engagement?
If you have your firearm set up to where It makes you a better shooter then by all means go for it, if you have training and have the proof that you pulled the trigger when you absolutely had to it doesn't matter, the only mentality you should have is to be humble, respectful, and prepared, yeah an overzealous prosecutor is absolutely gonna try and chew you out over aftermarket parts n stuff but regardless, parts doesn't matter, it's about why and how the lethal engagement started and what you do to defend yourself, be safe out there partner.
I love the thorough and careful explanations. Very helpful. I have to admit to a bit of a wry smile when discussing how that pesky ambidextrous slide release control could possibly be bothersome to a right hander. As a lefty, all I can say is Boo Hoo! LOL!
Thank you for a great presentation Lenny. I ordered the double diamond connector. Just out of curiosity, how does the connector shortens the trigger distance? Also, when are you getting the flat pyramid trigger back in stock? This is my next purchase.
Indeed. Awesome Vid brother.
would like to have seen the two parts side by side to see the differences.
you dont need a hammer to take out the trigger pin. If u jiggle it right, u can push it out with a hand glock tool.
The connector worked on my new Glock performance trigger now my trigger pull is 2.8 pounds
This can be done without buying new parts. If you're careful with a file and hit the right places you can cut the trigger pull almost in half. And make it a lot smoother.
Are these still drop safe ?
I have a ques😢 since I have never shot a Glock. Which one would you recommend. A Glock 19,a Glock 45 or a Glock 47
Get anything else
I was wondering if I could cut the slide stop I'm right handed and don't need it on both sides , thanks !!
Another idea would be purchase a standard slide stop and replace it with what I assume is your ambi slide stop.
@@EagleTears Thanks I might try that . I just saw a Glock Store video of his and he cut the right side off and it works great!!
Is this better than the timney alpha trigger?
Future me losing my right hand in an accident: Damn you Lenny! Why did I listen to you and dremel the slide lock/release off from the right side! 🤯😆
Any available CONNECTOR for Glock 21 Gen 4?
Bought two of these. One was so far off that it would not fit into the housing slot. The other binds the action so badly that it is very difficult to rack the slide. Just for shits I dremeled 1/64 off the bottom edge of the first one in order for it to lay in the track. Threw both in trash.
I bought their pyramid trigger years,ago and it would fire when trigger was pulled and when it was released
How do you lighten ?the factory trigger pull on the 27 and 34?
same animals, if within the same generation...
Safety first right on brother!
Exactly, he has the mentality of someone who knows how scary and unexpected a true ND can be.
Helped that he had one before lol
Can you pair this with the pyramid trigger?
Of course!
Is it the same connector for a G17?
Awesome Video
I don't know what it is but I like this guy.... He seems like a cool dude I wonder what his gun collection looks like and for some reason I get the feeling that he nailed hella chicks in his day 😂😂
Have a 12 lbs trigger pull from my previous job, will this change it to 3.5 lbs trigger pull? Thank you!
I put the double diamond connector in my p80 glock 26 build because I accidentally snapped the original connector that came with the parts kit while building the gun. I took it to the gun range and my gun now shoots like it has a switch. Every time I pull the trigger it shoots out of control and sends multiple shots down range. I literally didn't know what to do. I could not control the speed at which the bullets were firing from the pistol and out of fear of injury and also becaus the gun range instructors were not having it. I had to put my p80 26 away and rented a factory glock 26 from them with a regular trigger so I didn't have to spoil the trip and still get some shooting in. When I had the original connector installed, it was shooting normal at the range(1 shot at a time). Would you say there's something wrong with my gun? or is that common for the double diamond connector to shoot so fast like a switch? Its really embarrassing when you're at a gun range and your gun is shooting faster then the rules allow and everyone else is looking at you in shame because you can't control your gun. Plus I also fear the shooting fast and out of control would not help in self defense which is why I bought the gun (for self defense). If I had to defend myself I want to get shots on target not just shooting all over the place hitting everything else
Get a factory glock not a p80 never trust your life with a p80 factory all day
When are you going to get the conversion barrels back in stock?
I've been looking through the GS book that came in the mail months ago. it's the catalog with the 43 on the front. I'm thinking of buying one of the connectors. a few people told me to go with ghost Inc. I have one in my 17 but I think I want to check out the GS Double Diamond connector
So what's the pros and cons of the ghost vs the diamond connector? Looking to upgrade mine and would rather get the best one the first time I buy
I installed a black yikes in my Glock 19 gen 5. And my trigger pull is still 5.5 - 6 lbs. I’ve installed many connectors before, and can’t figure why the trigger pull is still that heavy. Anyone out there know why?????
