LWD Connector
This is one of the better aftermarket connectors available. Depending on what generation trigger bar you use will determine your trigger feel. On a gen 3 bar you get more of a rolling break closer to a revolver trigger. On a gen 4 bar you get a wall with a smooth break. It does enable a quick reset which I like, but if you're using an after make trigger which removes a lot of over travel you could run into problems of the trigger not resetting. Works fine with overwatch precision triggers but have run into problems with apex triggers.
About 80% of what I am looking for
I have tried a number of different connectors on my G17 GEN5, G40 GEN4 and G43 GEN4. The LWD 3.5 lbs., the OEM Glock (-) and (.) connectors. The take up and break on the Ghost Edge 3.5 lbs. connector are great and I replaced the OEM Glock (-) connector in my G40 with this one. I wish the take up could still be shorter, but with standard Glock trigger geometry this is about as good as it gets. I installed the LWD 3.5 lbs. connector in my G17 GEN5. This LWD 3.5 lbs. connector and the Ghost Edge 3.5 lbs. are the best drop in connectors I have tried. The Ghost Edge has the best take up of both and is super smooth. I wouldn't want it to be any lighter or it would be too light for carry and self defense. The take up of the LWD is not as smooth and requires more pull than the Ghost Edge. One characteristic where the LWD shines over the Ghost is the reset. It has by far the shortest and crispest reset and much better than the Ghost. If LWD could combine the pull and smoothness of the Ghost Edge with the reset of their LWD 3.5 lbs. it would be by far the very best connector of all there are. I would definitely recommend it as it is, but maybe LWD engineers are reading these reviews. In the end I would chose this one over the Ghost because reset is more important than pull and break to me.
Helped my trigger pull!!!
I had a brand new Glock 21SF with a very heavy trigger pull. I removed the factory connector and replaced it with this one and could not be happie. It lightened my trigger pull by several pounds. As with any Glock part it was easy to replace.
