This is the kit you want
First things first. The description says "fitting required", so if you want drop it, hit the back button. If you have a working knowledge of theory of operation and the cycle of function of a Glock, you should be fine. I've been a gunsmith for quite a while and believe that by reading the provided instructions, visiting the manufactures website or watching a Spalding Cut YouTube video and have a proper file, this can be accomplished by a novice. I recommend using the "Spalding Cut" created by Dave Spalding of Handgun Combatives. This kit even contains all of the tools needed other than a file. I would also recommend that you use "Dykem" or some sort of layout fluid and a dial caliper if you have one. At minimum, you should have a ruler that can measure down to 1/32 of an inch. The instructions will help with the rest. This kit took my P80 G34 with an Overwatch Precision trigger in it from 6.5 lbs to 4.25lbs and couldn't be more excited about it. If you're planning on doing the "25 Cent" trigger job or any striker work, do it prior to modifying this connector.
Rocket 3.5 trigger kit for Glock 17
Excellent product, shooting tighter group, comfort, a must for a Glock owner, not to hard after watching gun smith installed 15 min, and cost 20 buck is worth every penny of it, I could do it by myself now, just be patient, I am so happy with it . I would recommend everyone to get them, worth for the money, made in the U.S.A and should be proud of the company....
The best made better.
As a master gunsmith,I've done my share of trigger work on Glock pistols. This is by far the easiest way to achieve a 3.5lb release with a quicker reset. The last three Rockets I've installed on Glocks I've used the Dave Spaulding cut. Complete instructions on how the cut is made and what is achieved is outlined on the Ghost web sight.
AWSOME
I don't write reviews, but had to with this one. I bought the 5lb Rocket and my groupings are on target now and much tighter. I've always been a little left of target, DEAD ON now. A must for a Glock owner. Did take a 3 attempts of filing to get it perfect, but well worth it!!!
Excellent product
This product is as good as the reviews I read about. It took approximately 15 minutes to install. Using my Dremel and caliper to measure how much I was removing the install was very easy.Installed in Glock 34,very nice improvement over the stock setup. While apart cleaned and polished everything. Great product,easy to follow installation, nice improvement....can't ask for more. Now to go reload another 2k to shoot
MANY HAPPY CUSTOMERS
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET A GREAT PULL WEIGHT OUT OF THAT GLOCK. MINIMUM FITTING REQUIRED
"I would buy this product again"
I am a 35 year gunsmith and have done work on many Glocks this is by far the easiest and best trigger upgrade I have come across. This product requires very little fitting to get it to work and you end up with great results. As a LEO I don't recomend putting this in a duty weapon, but for my competition guns I have one in all three know.
It does make a difference
Installed on a Glock 22 used for off duty carry. Patience is the key, Read the online illustrated directions from the Ghost website(mandatory for a smooth and successful installation)). Took about an hour and a half with hand tools (files and stones). Once it worked I fine tuned the mechanism. Since this is an of duty gun I did not install the included striker spring or the trigger safety spring. Product smooths out the trigger and gives it a more precise feel. Once this installation is done familiarization and practice is the key. Never was too keen on the stock Glock trigger but always liked the pistol's reliability and capacity, this small modification really improves the trigger and the entire Glock pistol.
Very happy
Im very happy with this kit. Im young and really dont know too much about gunsmithing and this kit with a lil patience is a breeze. My stock trigger was very heavy for my G23 and afetr installing the ghost my groups instantly changed dramatically for the better. The only concern i had was the light stryker spring thats provided. I didnt know if it would be enough to ignite the cartridge. I have seen a review that said they had some problems with it but for me it has worked flawlessly. I have only tried 3 types of ammo (Winchester FMJ, Federal FMJ, and Gold Dot JHP defense ammo. All 180 grain)and they fired fine. But for a SD weapon u should prob. go wit original spring.(i didnt but as soon as i have 1 light primer strike im switchin back) Trigger feels great and reset is cut in half. Im not quite comfortable yet with carrying 1 in the chamber, so i would reccomend it for self defense but use your own judgement on a chambered round. In my opinion this is the best [$]upgrade a glock can have [...]
This is the best trigger kit ever;period
First of all ;i know about of gunsmithing as much as i know of being an astronaut;nothing.Because of the first review i decided on getting this kit,that was the best decision ever.Before doing anything,grab a small file and shave .01 on the connector(see instructions on the paper),then deburr it with a stone and oil,that is going to save you the hassle and frustration i suffered for not reading first,then install first the spring kit(extremely easy)you can get directions on their website or get explainatory videos on the web.The kit gets rid of all the mushiness and sponginess the regular trigger has and also sets your trigger between 3.5 and 4 pounds.Narrowed my grouping a lot and the feel is incredible.If you are going to use these for conceal carry i may suggest not to have one in the chamber.your safety should always come first.You can buy this with your eyes closed.Thank you Brownells ;like always i'm very pleased again.
