I recently did a trigger polish job, and installed a Lone Wolf trigger stop in my G23. I was given advice here NOT to install the 4lb. striker spring, except in a comp gun, due to reliability issues and light primer strikes which could prove deadly in a carry gun. I followed that advice. Lone wolf told me to leave the 6lb. trigger spring in also, over the 5lb. that came with the kit, saying that the it would give me a smoother trigger pull. I heeded that advice, although I didn't understand the mechanics behind it.
I did install a Lone Wolf 3.5lb. connector, which I polished because the plating looked fairly rippled, and it polished up very well and smooth.
So, I'm one of those that can never leave well enough alone. I can't help it, and am too old to change now. I'm almost compulsively inquisitive. I had to find out what the stock striker spring weight that is in the G23 was, and that was easy enough. 5.5lbs. So, if the difference between a comp spring and a carry spring was 1.5lbs. and I got a good trigger with that combination, would .5lbs or 1/3 of the difference between go and no go, make a difference. My first guess was no, but I'm talking a 33% difference. It should relate to a noticeable difference in trigger pull, I would guess
So, I found a 5lb. striker spring and it's on it's way. Any thoughts on this? Yea? Nay? Good? Evil?
Should take less than 30 minutes or less to do. Without a trigger pull gauge , I'll have to have a serious difference to notice a change at all.
Maybe I should stop goofing around with stuff, but I don't think I own a completely stock gun....period. At the least my hunting rifles have all had Timney triggers installed.
My M4 has a Wilson Combat Single stage 3.5lb "3 Gun" trigger in it. Both of my M&P's have APEX FSS triggers with approx. 3.5 ~4.0 triggers with so little take up and overtravel that they actually feel like 1911A1 triggers, speaking of 1911's and modifications.....
Back to the Glock, I wonder where the line is between a comp trigger and a reliable carry trigger actually is? Some of you armorers (yep I know the blood oath thing about non-standard parts, spec's etc..) want to weigh in here? I'm interested in hearing any advice, predictions, etc.
Thanks,
