Glock trigger: 3.5# & NY1 spring

[Dr.Zubrato]

Looking to replace a bunch of springs for maintenance and came across a
Bunch of threads from a few years ago about this particular glock trigger combo. This is my ccw and I have a lot of trigger time on the stock glock trigger, but this piqued my interest. Does anyone have more info on this, do you like it? Would you recommend this for ccw?
I don't plan to carry it until I have a thou or two down the pipe with it, but it's 15$ max for supposedly a really nice trigger for ccw

What model Glock do you have?

 

[Deaf Smith]

I use the NY-1/3.3 connector on all my Glocks.

Used it for years. Even IDPA.

Works well.

The supposed advantage of this combination is a more double action revolver like trigger pull with a constant pressure, and a more positive reset of the trigger.

Never tried it myself.

 

[Deaf Smith]

That and a 8 lb trigger. Smooth steady 8 lb trigger with no stacking.

I have a g19 gen 3 with a few thousand rounds trigger job.
For some reason when I google search it most threads are around 2010-12 and ceases after that, any reason for the surge in popularity or decline?

I used to carry a Gen2 G19 with that setup. 5lb+ trigger with trigger feedback all the way to a clean break. It was very popular...I think I first read about it in a Ayoob article

any reason for the surge in popularity or decline?

It was popular because of folks converting over from a revolver or a DA/SA pistol. It offered constant pressure as opposed to the On-or-Off feel of a clean 1911.

Many things have changed in the intervening years. Many folks don't start shooting with a revolver and for many, the Striker Fired trigger is their introduction to handgun triggers.

Interestingly, I've noticed, in later Gen3 and all Gen4 G19s, that Glock triggers now seem to have a "wall" that you feel just before the trigger breaks

 

[Dr.Zubrato]

So the parts arrived, so I installed them and gave it a few dry fires. Absolutely hated it and started filling out the product return form for midwayusa.

I had ordered the stock trigger spring, a v4 race connector, and a ny1 spring.
I tried absolutely every combo including the ny1 spring minus the coil with the old stock connector, and new connector.

I gave the 3.5#\ny1 trigger one more shot before I returned it and fell in love with it. The trigger broke in and has different wear points on the trigger bar.

The trigger doesn't really have a distinct wall just a very smooth trigger pull that's a bit heavier. On trigger reset has a 3.5 pull with an excellent TOCK vs the factory click.

It's totally alien, but it's a great trigger set up and you will either love it or hate it at first pull.

For anyone interested it's basically the same weight trigger pull, maybe a little heavier, except it's all in the trigger take up, instead of the factory trigger where the take up has very little weight until you hit the wall. Then it has a very clean rolling break which I thought was mushy at first grew to love as a smooth steady press. A lot less front sight jiggle and this is coming from a glock fanboy, believe me I'm conflicted.

Thanks guys

Hopefully you put the spring back into the NY1 plastic wishbone. That plastic will fatigue and lose it's springiness if you don't.

I bought the NY trigger and will give it a try.

 

[Dr.Zubrato]

quick update if anyone is interested, bought a j frame revolver, and the trigger was ~20 lbs, even though it's smoothing out

comparing the two at the range, the NY1 felt WAY too light, felt like the 3.5 and stock spring, even though it was the NY1

installed the NY2, did a light polish job on the internals, put in a smooth face trigger, and I absolutely love this gun, blew me away. I wish it was just a pound or two heavier, but it's perfect the way it is.

for DA revolver shooters, this is a light, great trigger on a semi-auto with a short reset.

sorry for resurrecting a dead thread, just wanted to let you guys know the Ny2 is out there, and I think it's better than the NY1

Glock triggers ...

I've seen a few of Lenny Magill's Glock product videos: www.glockstore.com .
I like the Double Diamond 3.5lb part. It's coated with Robar NP3, www.Robarguns.com . They also have the LoneWolf Dist Glock NY-1 trigger.
I've read that sworn LE officer & gun writer; Massad Ayoob puts NY-1 triggers on all his carry-duty Glock pistols. YouTube gun channel personality; The Yankee Marshal says he puts 3.5lb connectors & NY-1 triggers on his Glocks.


I own a used Glock 21 gen 04 .45acp pistol. I shoot it approx once a month. I considered adding a NY-1 Glock trigger but for now will keep it factory stock.

I guess I kinda like that. It reminds me of a two stage rifle trigger. I have tried a couple of different connector spring setups in my G19. Lately I have an ultimate 3.3 in it. No “wall”.
I don’t seem to hit any better with it than the stock setup in my G26. Big “wall”. I guess I will go back to stock for a while and see how it goes. The 3.3 feels better but I’m not sure it works better.

Been using 3.5s and NY-1 trigger springs on my Glocks for years.
Best reason to do so, the NY-1 trigger spring will NEVER break at an inopportune moment as the standard spring can...

 

[misterarman]

Reading Masaad Ayoob has scared me away from "hair triggers" on a carry gun.
Not that I don't understand what a quality trigger means to accuracy.
I just respect his opinion on the legal end of it if you actually have the misfortune of having to use it in a real situation.
Upgrading with a simple spring kit and breaking the trigger in by shooting the heck out of it can make a huge difference.

 

[readyeddy]

I like the NY1 and 3.5 connector. I think the NY1 is smoother than the stock spring, like a DA revolver. There's less jerk at the end, almost like the stock spring has a backlash after it releases. And the 3.5 reduces the weight of the heavier and longer NY1 pull, but like Dr. said, it can be too light for some.

What I did was to install an extra power firing pin spring. This got my pull up to around 5-6 pounds. Just where I want it.

 

[Deaf Smith]

Well the reason I use the NY-1/3.5 is cause I sometimes carry in the appendix position.

And since I use the setup in IDPA I am quite used to it.

Yes, to me it is optimum.

When dry-firing and paying close attention to the front sight, I notice that the NY1 spring and Lone Wolf 3.5lb trigger.. thingy have virtually eliminated the muzzle twitch that makes the Glock go off target. Not a Sig trigger yet, but it seems FAR more serviceable than the original horrible stacking trigger.
As far as the weight of the trigger pull... I can't tell a difference, but it seems like somewhere between DA and SA action.
