Ok, so after doing quite a few searches either I am not looking in the right places or I really am the only person in history who actually "wants" to make my Gen-4 23 have a heavier pull...
I was given some suggestions in an intro post about the NY 1 and NY 2 Trigger springs.. So I went ahead and ordered them and they will be here on Friday.. My concern however is this: before I ordered them I should have asked if I can use them in a Gen 4 Fire Control? More over, do I need to replace anything else? My case says 5.5lb so I assume that means the system is the 5 pound trigger but I really would like to firm it up for Concealed carry purpose and it "sounds" like a NY trigger spring is EXACTLY what I need. I just want to know if I am going to run into any trouble with the 8lb or 12lb spring depending on which one I like the feel of.. Again this is all hinging on whether or not I can even use the spring in the Gen 4...
Thank you in advance for any help with this matter!

You are the first person I have personally known to increase the trigger weight. 99.9% of people leave it stock or decrease the weight. I'm sure someone will be along shortly with information for you.

Look into the NYPD trigger bars. Hers's a couple of links for you...
Trigger Spring NY1 17 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 Olive
Trigger Spring NY2 17 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 Orange
These are designed to give a "revolver like" trigger feel. I haven't used them myself, but they do have quite the following. If you google search "Glock NY trigger bars" you'll get more info than you need.

Those are the parts I ordered... I wanted to know if I need to change anything else? OR just install the trigger spring which gives the feel i am looking for by itself and that's it?
Trigger Spring should be all.

Excellent, Thank you all for the info.. It seems like actually changing the part is a few minutes tops depending on how much of a monkey loving a football the OEM spring wants to be getting off the block itself.. Once I get that part off its really just a straight forward drop in and reassemble. Then hit the range and see how I like it.. Guess tomorrow will be the "judgment day" since the 2 different springs are coming in from UPS.. I will keep ya posted though!
I'm sorry, I either didn't completely read, or misread your initial post.... I think you'll find the installation to be very easy and straight forward. There are ways to further "alter" the trigger pull weight using different connectors with the NY1 or NY2 trigger spring assemblies.
Here's a link to a discussion from another forum discussing this set-up at length.
Glock's NY1 trigger..
Let us know what think about yours when you've tried it.

44Mag, be sure to save the OEM spring, just in case you don't like the pull!
The NY 1 trigger spring with a 5.5 connector will give you a 9 lb. trigger pull,
and the NY 2 spring will give you an 11 lb. pull. You can get an 8 lb. pull by using
the standard OEM spring and a 8 lb. (+) connector. You should never use and 8 lb.
connector and any NY trigger spring.

44Mag - Have you tried shooting your 23 the way it came? Might be worthwhile to shoot it the way it came before you start changing things...
