Ghost triggers?

[Ichiban]

Has anyone here had any experience with Ghost trigger connectors for their Glocks or SR9s?

The thing that I really hated disliked about the Ruger SR9 was that rough heavy trigger.  I really wanted to like that gun but just couldn't get past the trigger.  Now I see that Ruger is introducing the SR40 and I am getting that itch again.  If I can clean up the trigger it might be an acceptable firearm and I think the Ghost connector might be the ticket.  

Of course we could just start a pool on how long it takes for the SR40 recall to happen as well.

Or the S&W body guard 380 recall.

You might want to let any new design mature a bit, esp. in .40 S&W caliber.  It does tend to be a lot harder on handguns then 9mm Luger.

As to the aftermarket parts, acceptable as long as this is not a personal defense firearm.  I've seen a great many that turned a perfectly functional Glock into an inert paperweight.

You can get a lighter pull connector without going with Ghost.

What Ghost also offers is an extra tab on the connector that can be fitted to limit over travel.

I installed the Ghost on a G23 and had no problems with it.  However, while it is not difficult to fit it for the over travel you want,, it is done by filing that tab down.  If you get it too sort, it won't fire. Some trial and error there.  If you file to much, the part is a ruined.

Also, while it never happened to me, I became concerned that if the tab should wear, it might render the gun inoperable.

I removed the Ghost, went with a standard 3.5 lb connector and installed the Ultimate Trigger Stop from Lone Wolf.  It uses a hex wrench to adjust the over travel and can be adjusted should it wear.

You can find it here:  http://www.lonewolfdist.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=930&CAT=136

I have installed this on all my Glocks  G19, G23, G21 and G21SF.  Have had no problems on any of them.

I have installed one on the SR9. Though it is not quite as nice as a Glock tricked out with a connector trigger job and reduced power striker spring it is MUCH better than stock. It does require repeated disassembly and though it is not difficult on an SR9, it is not as straightforward as a Glock. Took less that 2 hours start to finish and it was well worth the money and effort. I think it is a requirement to bring the SR9 up to its potential.

I've been doing trigger jobs on Glocks for nearly 20 years and have tried ever connector out there. I used the Ghost for a long time and still will on request. All my Glocks now have the Zev V2 RC. I'm not in any way affiliated with them but i've bought and installed a bunch of these: http://www.glockwarehouse.com/product_p/zt-connector-r.htm

Never had the "bug" to modify my G21. (except for a possible grip reduction)... It is not a comp gun for me, strictly what it was designed to do:

GO BANG WHEN PULLED!

For competition, I can see improving almost any factory trigger. For SD, it's a creature comfort to modify a trigger.

If it's that sloppy, regardless of manufacturer, I'd look into another more suitable. I remember the original SR9's, and the grief and recalls that followed, that's why I went M+P, in .40.

Any trigger can be improved, I figure, my G21 is fine as is.


After all, what good is the "Dark Side" unless it's "rough" around the edges.....

The "proprietary material" V3 looks a WHOOOOOLLLE lot like chrome plated hot roll steel to my eye.  It's not titainium, aluminum, or SS.  A 2lb trigger on a carry gun with no real saftey?  No thanks.  

I think the biggest issues with the stock Glock trigger are the rediculous amount of creep, over travel, and how gritty it is.  Not the pull weight.  Fire the S&W copy of their gun.  It has the trigger Glock's should have.

Correct. 

The item I to which I linked will eliminate the over travel and correctly applies stoning has eliminated the "grittiness". 

Using the stoning and over travel device and different weight connectors and springs, you should be able to come up with smooth,  no over travel trigger pull in the weight you desire.

The weight can be changed by removing the slide, punching out one pin lifting out the over travel device and replacing the connector and spring with your desired combination.  Then reassemble.

Only thing you can't get with this setup is the NY Trigger Weight because it is implemented using the same device as the over travel adjustment so you can't have both.  I've not a lot of use for a 9.5 LB trigger pull, so I don't miss it.
