I'm more worried about ADs with aftermarket triggers like this because there have been cases of them breaking which led to an AD.
No worries. Funny how everybody freaks out when you do trigger mods to pistols but nobody says anything when its a rifle.
Never thought about that. But rest assured, I for one am not freaking out. I put a Ghost Edge in and did the .25 cent trigger job on my G43 and it made a world of positive difference in it.

After market triggers can have issues. I had an aftermarket trigger installed in my Ruger Mark III Hunter. The first match after the install resulted in an AD with my finger not on the trigger. The RO and two others in the peanut gallery saw my finger outside of the trigger guard. My first and only to date DQ from a match.
I got DQ'd because the pistol was held in an upward position that resulted in the round leaving the range.
The Smith that installed it, repaired it at no charge, telling me a spring was installed backwards, but I suspect it was a CYA response.
Its ran 100% a year later after a couple thousand rounds.
not really .. I've done trigger mods to almost every pistol that I own with zero issues .. except Glocks .. those I leave alone. Glocks have NO safeties to prevent AD from trigger getting snagged .. drop safety don't count.
what provides a small margin of error is Glock's long trigger travel and heavy release pressure. installing an aftermarket trigger would not be high on my list, unless using Glock for competition events, etc. just my biased opinion your mileage may veri ..
here's a tutorial I did back Aug 2010 on tearing down/trigger job a S&W revolver. it's the second post down http://www.okshooters.com/forums/gunsmithing-repairs.81/
a google search after all these years for: S&W revolver disassembly
is still one of the first results that's not a video.
Lots of folks have done extensive mods to 1911 triggers with little controversy. if done correctly doesn't change safety and hugely improves performance. etc. etc.

And those links _CY_ posted above are excellent too, I might add. If you own a S&W revolver, they are well worth the time it takes to read them. Check them out, even if you don't do the work, you will enjoy an interesting read and maybe learn something. Kudos to _CY_ for posting these back up for folks to see.
However, I personally do prefer to drop in a (-) or 3.5 Lb connector in a Glock and to do the .25 cent trigger job. I NEVER take off any metal, no Sir! Just a polishing of the appropriate parts with some Flitz to smooth things out does the job for me. But you must be extra cautious if this is done to a Glock, the subsequent trigger will be lighter and more easily activated if you are careless and snag the trigger. Safety has to remain number 1. There's a huge difference in carrying a 1911 with both a thumb safety and a grip safety with a 3.5 lb trigger, and a Glock with a 3.5 lb trigger with neither one of these safety features. Just something to think about maybe before you go merrily about lightening your trigger...

I agree with some of what yall say and I disagree with some also. But by all means continue the discussion. I do the $.25 trigger jobs to a lot and mess with different connectors and so fourth to try to fit the gun to the purpose of that gun. I will say that Glock is nowhere near the only company that has a possibility of a ad from snagging the trigger on something. Thats every handgun out there without a manual thumb safety including double action revolvers.
I've put either the factory (-) connector or 3.5 lb connectors in all of my Glocks, lightly polished up the friction points and add the factory extended slide stop/ release. I believe in keeping them fairly simple and learning the trigger pull, instead of trying to make it something that it'll never be. I did just buy a worked over G19 at Sooner Guns & Gold, with an aftermarket slide, Trijicon RMR sight and Zev Tech trigger. The trigger is nice (The actual trigger itself is very nice for my finger), but I don't think I'd pay to buy on outright for retail prices.
What kind of slide is on it? I would like to have some slide work done but I think Ill buy a Lone Wolf one first. Man that Zev stuff is nice but damn its hi. I picked up a tricked out Zev at the Tulsa gun show and it was sweet. Picked up as in picked it up and looked at it and set it back down. I aint Zev rich.
