"Dot" Connector Gen 4 Glock 19

[druryj]

I recently bought (another) Gen 4 G19 and I could tell pretty quickly that the stock trigger on this pistol is much better then on previous Gen 4's I've had. Upon further investigation, I found it has the "dot'' connector installed. It seems to me that the "dot" connector is a bit lighter than the previous stock 5.5 lb connector, which always was really around 6.5 - 7.5 lbs it seems, but a bit heavier then the (-) "minus" one...somewhere right in the middle of the two. I was going to drop in a Ghost 3.5 lb connector I had in the parts box, or order a (-) connector and a 6 lb competition trigger spring for it from www.glockparts.com , but I think I'm just going to leave this one alone, I like the stock trigger just fine and as this is primarily a home defense/nightstand gun that will see occasional carry duty, it's all good. Does anyone else have, notice, or like the "dot connector"?

I have a "dot connector" in my Gen 4 19 and I am pleased with how it feels.

Sorry, but when I heard "dot connector" I couldn't help but think of this...

LOL! Nothing like a little Pee Wee Herman to start the day.

I've been out of Glocks for awhile. This is the first I have heard of the dot connector.

I believe they are in the later models of the Gen 4 Glocks. Google has a lot of info avaialbe on them. A couple of earlier Gen 4s I've had didn't have them, and the triggers were noticeably heavier. I kinda like this dot connector, it gives me a good realistic 5.0-5.5 lb pull and the reset is good. I still might order an OEM 3.5 lb (-) connector and a 6lb trigger spring, as my experience with them has been good. I had a Gen 4 G19 with that setup before and was very pleased with it. I still don't know why I sold that gun...Doh. Maybe the little G43 with a great Ghost Edge connector in it that I have spoiled me and I am just lazy, preferring to carry it most of the time anyway. Plus, I like taking my stuff apart and putting it back together and seeing if I have any extra parts left over.

I dont have any gen 4 guns but didnt all the older ones have either a - or a dot? Werent the regular ones dots? Now Im going to have to see if I can find an old connector laying around and look. I may actually have a Gen 4 connector out of a friends gun.

But, anyway, my old 23 had a wonderful feeling connector in it so I just polished everything and put in a 6# trigger spring to lighten it but not change the characteristics of it. Then I put in a new trigger shoe and I really like the way it is.

I believe Glock came out with the dot connector so the Gen 4's trigger would feel more like the Gen 3's. Someone may correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think I am. The dot connector was not on earlier Gen 4 guns. Maybe I got one because mine is a blue label gun? Dunno about that, but I'm fine with it as is. I'll put another few hundred rounds through it before I decide to change anything or not.

I do know they had connectors with the dot pre Gen 4. When or if they were even different than just a blank one I dont know. Im going to have to look at all of mine.

It can be confusing...one must try hard to "stay connected," if you will.
