I'd like to address one technical point that was not covered in the 5 linked threads on the thread that was just locked in Legal.

I have a Ghost Trigger on both of my Glocks. On a Glock, the striker is almost all the way back from semi-auto action and the trigger pulls it the rest of the way back before releasing it. The Ghost Trigger use a different ramp angle to increase trigger pull length which in turn decreases trigger pull force (pure mechanical advantage). ~1/3 lighter but about 43% longer pull. The sear engagement and spring are unchanged.
If anything I feel the increased trigger pull length makes them less likely to AD in a stressful situation, not more.

They are also user adjustable (with a file) for zero over travel (something that happens after the gun has fired).

Mike
