I bought a Glock 17L that has been modified with adjustable sights and a Ghost Rocket trigger connector installed. Trigger pull is now just under 4 lbs. I am toying with installing a high dollar trigger and titanium firing pin from Glock Worx. I can't find anyone in the area that has experence with one. Does anyone have any info/opinion on this idea?

I have used the Glockworx Fulcrum trigger kit before. It was very nice, Well worth the money. It took a little time to get it adjusted properly though, trial and error.

glock stock parts are always better. don't waste your money on a titanium firing pin. won't make a bit of difference with the trigger pull if you don't install a light striker spring, but that will leave you subject to light primer strikes.
you could try a ghost 2.5lb connector if you want lighter...

Sapper771 & FMJ - Thanks!
Lighter trigger would be great, but the main objective would be "crisper" trigger with less take up and over travel. I would rather have better primer strike than giving it up for lighter trigger. Thanks for the replies!! Hopefully there will be more.

you're welcome, my friend 
LWD makes a trigger mechanism housing with an adjustable overtravel stop screw, but if the screw works itself forward during firing, it'll disable the trigger

Yeah, why on Earth would anybody ever want a titanium firing pin?
It wouldn't save a meaningful amount of weight overall, it lacks sufficient inertia to be reliable (at least in this pistol design), and it's probably more prone to breakage, being generally weaker than a good steel firing pin of the same volume. Is it supposed to be "cool" or something? If I'm missing out on some kind of major advantage it would offer, then somebody please clue me in because I'm stumped.Full Metal Jacket

the titanium firing pin is lighter and reduces the lock time. that's what they advertise anyway, and i'm sure it does, but not to any noticeable difference whatsoever without the lighter striker spring that can cause light primer hits. lol
that setup is what some glock competitors use. however, they load their own, or use specific ammo that doesn't have hard primers.
it's definitely not for defense.

I wouldn't have thought that it would make an appreciable difference in the overall scheme of things, but if it does and actually helps one compete in terms of accuracy, then more power to them. Also, I guess a lighter firing pin could help in terms of safety in firearms that have a free-floating pin, such as ARs (makes no difference in a Glock in this regard), although in my view there are always better solutions to such issues.

Put in a 6 lb. striker spring and a 6 lb trigger spring and it will give you a "crisper" trigger. The springs are inexpensive and can be obtained from "Ghost'.

Here is a review on a G34 with the Glockworx Fulcrum installed.

Nice trigger for competition.

My Glock 23 has the full Glockworx trigger setup. Every glocker thats tried my setup has loved it. 100% reliable as long as you use the stock recoil spring and replace the trigger spring every 1000 rounds.
It has very little take up and a stiff, crisp break. Not too light, not too stiff. But you can't play games with my setup. Trigger control is key. If you want to try this setup below, I'd recommend using the stock trigger spring till you get used to it.
I had to mod the trigger a little to get everything perfect. The trigger safety was a bit too aggressive and wouldn't allow the trigger to fall if my finger was too high on the Fulcrum trigger. I needed to file the top rear edge of the safety a little rounder. Just a little at a time until it had function similar to the stock trigger. Not rocket science at all.
You can use Glockworx polished striker and a comp striker spring and have perfect reliability. This setup hits a hair harder than stock actually. You can test with the pen in the barrel trick.
My Glock has over 2000 rounds through it since I modded it. Zero failures. Some of the Glocks components are extremely high quality, barrel, slide, frame, but some of its components are cheap and easy to exceed in quality and feel. Like the trigger bar, fp safety, and connector.
my setup:
Glock 23, 180gn Federal fmj or 180gn Rem Goldensaber
Glockworx/Zevtec Fulcrum Trigger bar (stock settings)
Glockworx Liteweight striker (needed if you choose to use the comp striker spring)
GW Comp spring kit
GW Ti firing pin safety (must have, so smooth)
GW 3.0 race connector ( way better than a Lonewolf 3.5 connector, stiffer than lone wolf, but noe take up, less creep, crisper and safer.)
Lonewolf SS guide rod (with stock recoil spring, don't use crappy afftermarket recoil springs, use stock glock only)
XS big dot sights
2 Glock 22 mags for reloads
Stock spring cups, the maritime cups seem flimsy and interupt my slide detail strips, they often let the fp spring go "sproing".

That is a nice setup Zero.
I just ran the glockworx fulcrum trigger, trigger bar, and connector. Left all the springs stock. It gave me a short take up, still a little mush(plunger), a crisp break, no over travel, short reset, and still at around 5 pounds (carry).
I don't see the need in the titanium striker, but I am not a comp shooter either.
