Frequently Asked Questions

What is the benefit of installing a 3.5lb trigger connector on a Glock?

Installing a 3.5lb trigger connector on a Glock can improve accuracy by reducing the tendency for the shooter to pull the sights off-line during the trigger squeeze. This lighter pull allows for a smoother engagement with the trigger bar and striker release.

What tools are needed to install a Glock 3.5lb connector?

To install a 3.5lb Glock connector, you will need a specialized punch set, a hammer with interchangeable heads, and a needle dropper for precise lubrication, such as Gun Butter.

How does the 3.5lb Glock connector differ from the factory connector?

The 3.5lb Glock connector has a slightly different geometry, specifically in its angle, compared to the standard 5.5lb factory connector. This difference allows the trigger bar to be disengaged more rapidly, resulting in a lighter trigger pull.

What is the recommended lubrication point after installing a Glock connector?

After installing a new connector, the recommended lubrication point is to apply a single drop of lubricant, like Gun Butter, under the hook of the connector where it interfaces with the trigger bar. This ensures smooth operation.
