what about the plunger spring, they say it can't hurt anything, and helps smooth it out ? I am going to take it down again later today, and really go over it under a magnifier.
Sitting and researching Glock trigger mods and complete replacement packages from a dozen different manufacturers has given me less of an idea of what I need to buy, than before I started. After 30 years of Glocks, I have decided to stop avoiding the bad trigger and embrace changing parts. I am thinking after much reading that Windham, Apex, Taran or one of the other drop in packages for $120- 200.00 is probably the end result as far as really getting a great trigger, if that's possible.
My first step was to order a Ghost Ultimate kit with the springs and commector, just to see what that does. I don't like the idea of changing the stryker spring, because I like feel that's pushing your luck, the connector and it's spring and even the one connected to the safety in the slide, "plunger spring" seem to be safe. I really doubt that this is going to do that much, but decided to start there.
I didn't want to start filing and refitting parts if it wasn't going to make a big difference anyway.
What kits or changes worked best for you in gen 3 and 4 9mm and 45 caliber guns?
I figure on doing 3 of my guns, if the end result is really worth it. Switching brands is not the answer I am looking for, as I have other guns, so please stick to Glocks.
thanks
Mr. Glock makes a perfect pistol straight out of the box. These after market folks are getting rich on the back of Mr. Glock.

$0.25 polish job, 5000 rounds +, works best.
Then I use:
-LW 3.5 connector
-medium striker spring, or a light but stretched spring
-flush cut G34 trigger bar
I never use the extra strength trigger spring, stock only.
The Apex trigger is nice, but I'm sticking with the stock 34's for now.
Could you explain "flush cut G34 trigger bar"? I've never seen that mentioned before. Thanks!

OEM. Unless you are a Glock armorer and want to fix the reliability issues with a none factory trigger and group.
I just now got the gen3 trigger bar from midway and installed it. I have to say it feels like a different trigger altogether. The weight fell, "I don't have a scale" but it was noticable, and the trigger feels like it's supposed to. I have had a few decent glock triggers over the years, like my gen 3, - 26. I am not messing around with it anymore, just a function test before it goes back to nightstand duty. So here is what I wound up with. The Ghost Ultimate connector, the reduced spring trigger safety, and the gen 3 trigger bar, "all parts polished which needed to be". Now it's exactly the way I like it. I didn't reduce the return spring on the trigger bar or the firing pin springs, I think that is asking for trouble. The Gen 3 trigger is just a nicer feel aside from correcting the bump issue that the nipple makes. I wonder if they corrected that in the 5?
