I put in a NY1 trigger and 3.5lb connector in my Gen4 G19, and I've noticed that the trigger occasionally resets itself after firing. Has anyone else experienced that? It is most noticeable during takedown when I sometimes have to also hold the trigger back while removing the slide. I never had any problem with the stock setup doing this. I did do the $.25 trigger job and e erything is pretty shiny/smooth for what its worth.
 
dumb question?you install a ny 1 trigger for heavier pull and then you install the 3.5 disconnector to lessen it?why install the ny1 trigger anyway?
I would remove the 3.5 connector,reinstall orig, and leave it that way.all my glocks get the ny1 trigger, extended slide stop, extended mag release(sanding edges and corners smooth),and night sights. that's ll you need. safer that way.
 
Some people prefer the NY1 trigger with the 3.5lb connector because it returns the trigger pull weight back to about the factory pull weight, but with the positive reset provided by the ny1 part. When changed this way it also creates a very consistent trigger pull not unlike a light double action revolver. Proponents of the swap also cite greater reliability of the part over the usual trigger return spring, less apt to break supposedly.

OP:

In my Glock that has the NY1, the trigger does return in the way you described. The very strong reset is what a lot of people are after when they swap.
 
It's normal, when using a NY spring set-up, to need to pull the trigger WHILE field stripping the Glock.
 
It's actually an approved combination from Glock. Gives you a heavier take up and more forceful trigger reset without increasing the trigger break too much.
 
Never found a reason to modify a Glock, plus courts don't like when you do that, should you ever have to use it. It won't make any difference when someone is shooting at you, all the little nuances attributed to making the gun so perfect, go out the window when you are in a bad spot and the last thing you need is a part to fail.
 
It actually makes 1 less part to fail in that the trigger spring is one of the more failure prone parts on a Glock, and an NY1 spring setup will continue to work even after the spring itself is broken due to the plastic elbow doubling as a spring as well. Also the mod increases trigger pull weight. Doubt a court is going to be able to do Mich with that to your disadvantage. And as mentioned, its approved by Glock.

That's more of an internet urban legend than anything. If the issue has ever been brought up in an actual court case it's exceedingly rare.

Its also ignoring the fact that many people (particularly on a firearms enthusiast site) have guns that they don't carry. Only about 10% of the handguns that I own have ever been carried for protection.
