Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of installing a Ghost Inc. connector?

Ghost Inc. connectors are designed to improve the trigger pull on firearms like Glocks and Rugers. They can offer a lighter pull weight, a smoother feel, and features like 'No Bump' geometry to eliminate tactile inconsistencies, leading to better accuracy and control.

What is the difference between drop-in and custom-fit Ghost connectors?

Drop-in connectors are designed for easy installation without modification. Custom-fit connectors, often featuring a 'Trigger Control Tab,' require precise gunsmith fitting (filing) to eliminate overtravel and achieve a crisp trigger break, similar to a 1911.

Which Ghost connector is best for competition vs. duty use?

For competition, lighter pull weights like the Ghost 3.5lb connectors (Ultimate, Edge) are often preferred for speed and accuracy. For duty or tactical applications where a heavier, more deliberate pull is desired for safety and control, options like the Ghost Ranger (4.5lb) or Patrol (5.0lb) are more suitable.

Can Ghost connectors be used on firearms other than Glocks?

Yes, Ghost Inc. also manufactures connectors specifically designed for the Ruger SR series pistols, including the SR9, SR40, and SR45 models, offering trigger improvement options for a wider range of firearms.
