Ghost Edge Trigger Connector Install in Glock 42 (Works in G43, 43X, 48)

Күн бұрын

I was unsatisfied with most of the videos showing the installation process of the Ghost Inc. Edge drop-in trigger connector for Glock's slim/single stack guns so I made my own. This install process is identical for the Glock 43, 43X, and 48. After the install I tested the trigger's pull weight and it is pulling at around 5.75 -6.25 lbs (pre-install weight was ~7 lbs). The trigger does feel a little smoother. Overall not a major improvement. Let me know if this helped you.

Helped me install a new connector into my PSA dagger micro. As most know the triggers in them are sort of dull and my factory connector failed. This not only fixed the problem but made the trigger feel much more responsive than it used to. Good fix until I get my hands on an OEM Glock trigger assembly. Will be doing this to all of my future dagger builds.

Hello and thank you for this video! I just got a 43x MOS and swapped out my connector with the Ghost Inc using your video. It was so easy following along (and watching then rewinding a few times at various steps) and doing it "along with you." I have yet to take it out and try it, but i accomplished the swap using your video, so Thank You!

So im a bit ignorant of what engineering goes into trigger mechanisms how exactly does an almost identical piece of metal make that much of a difference? Do tenths of a millimeter really make a difference? What dimensions are different? Just curious I'll probably buy one anyways as I am a consumer not a scientist.

My 48 had a really heavy pull compared to my other Glock style pistols. I have a 3.5 in my edc 19 and a different one I don’t like as much in my p80. This lightened the pull on my 48 perfectly! Thanks for the step by step 🤌🏽

I had the same experience when installing the ghost edge connector in my 43x. smoothed up some of the grit and gave me a little reduction in pull weight, but not as much as the difference as I expected. It's still significantly heavier than my g19 that I put a 3.5 (minus) connector in.

@BlackSkyMusicTV 3 жыл бұрын

My 43x feels different when racking it , it’s like it hits the connector everytime and it makes it hard to go into battery. Guess have to change the trigger bar aswell

@plasmallama4435 Жыл бұрын

If you're looking to reduce your trigger pull weight noticeably, you need to also replace the sticker spring and the trigger return spring with an extra power one. That in combination with this ghost trigger bar kit gave me a 2.6lb reduction in weight. I added a Tyrant CNC trigger and it feels so nice to shoot now.

Does this lighter triger pull gives you the ability to shoot faster and or have a faster reset trigger ?

@JR-pr1xh 2 жыл бұрын

The reduction in pull weight is barely noticeable on my Glock so I'd say it has given me a SLIGHTLY faster split time.

@SkaterTE 2 жыл бұрын

When you pull the trigger compared to a stock connector, you won’t feel any resistance pulling down the trigger. Just a smooth pull and yes, it’ll increase your rapid fire . Upgrade your tungsten rod for better weight to reduce recoil and muzzle flip
