Only a couple minor things to add for those that might be new to Glocks.
Glock stopped calling their "-" connector 3.5 pounds and started calling it 4.5 pounds as it actually is. If you ever did the math to convert their numbers from metric it always came out to about 4.5lbs! They also are harder to come by. Glock's policy is to only sell them directly to law enforcement agencies that sign a liability waiver, and to those who need replacements for the ones in their competition guns like the 17L/24/34/35 and they want the old, damaged one back first. You can't even order it using the order sheet you get when you attend an armorer's course. The "C" on some models stands for compensated. I've met people that didn't know what the C meant. The Glock branded and labled night sights are warrenteed for 15 years and have the same Tennifer finish as the gun. The Trijicons are only warrenteed for 10 years. |

Anyone got an idea on how to get it tacked otherwise adding more to this thread will become pointless. Tried messaging the MOD for the Glock forum no reply.

Anyone know any other way to get this thing tacked?
Otherwise adding more info is kind of pointless....... Maybe we need to "Report" this thread to get attention brought to it??? |

I've contacted Staff about this thread and I'm seeing what I can do to get it tacked.

The part about the night sights is very interesting indeed. 5 extra years of warranty on the brightness? If that is so, then that is a great deal to stick with the Glock branded night sights! |

What about a little blurb in there about the various aftermarket mags, like Scherer, KCi (korean mags), the new Magpul ones, etc. with a disclaimers about which ones people have had the most luck with vs. the ones that are kind of range only mags.

"Stock weight on this spring is 5# with the heavier spring it speeds up reset of trigger and helps reduce trigger weight.
With 3.5 connector it will get you to achieve that actual 3.5# pull weight on the trigger. " Ok this is probably alot simpler than it seems but this section on trigger work is confusing. What parts would i have to replace in order to get this 3.5# pull (Are these glock parts???) also what about travel reduction? |

All you need is a 3.5lb. connector for a lighter trigger pull (about 4.5lb.) For a true 3.5lb. pull you would need to install a lighter competition firing pin spring (not recommended for serious use.) To reduce over travel you can install a connector like the Ghost rocket that has a built in over travel stop. |

With the ghost rocket will it still be duty worthy or is it more of a range upgrade? |
