Not much, to be honest with you. Your trigger bar and its overall condition will give you a slightly different feel from connector to connector. Hope this helps.

Thank you

Are these safe for on a home
defense gun? And are they drop
safe?

Thanks

Just my take, your HD gun is NO different than a CCW gun as far as how an opposition attorney will try to lambast you in a criminal or civil trial after a shoot. The generally agreed upon thinking is DO NOT mod your trigger, at all, keep the stock Glock trigger.
Do you really want to be a in courtroom with the prosecuting attorney arguing how during an SD shoot, you had modified your stock trigger to a "hair trigger to kill more efficiently"? Yes, as stupid as it seems, this could happen. Non gun educated public and judges literally know NOTHING about guns and they
believe the worst about a gun owner, especially in Commifornia. Range toy, go nuts. HD or CCW pistol, do not modify your trigger. Then there is one less thing for an lawyer to glom onto. That's why my CCW guns carry the exact same ammo as our local Sheriff uses. They can't say it's
some kind of special ultra lethal ammo if it's the same ammo the cops use to shoot people.

Just my opinion, better to be conservative about this.

Makes sense

I am using a glock 19 gen 3 upper on a glock 19c gen 3 lower for home defense as 19c may not be ideal for HD.

I am using 19c upper for range and 19 upper for HD. Do you think using a upper with different serial # considered as modification for home defense? Its a stock upper with night sights.

Thanks

... are they drop safe?

Regularly train to keep your finger off the trigger till you're 100% on target. Be able to identify and articulate an imminent threat of death or great bodily injury likely to cause death. As long as you can do both of those quickly under stress, it should be perfectly safe. If not, I'd stick to the stock trigger. Three pounds is pretty light. Have you thought about polishing the stock parts?

It should be drop safe. If you start messing with how the striker engages the trigger bar, or the firing pin safety and it's spring, then there could be some drop safe issues.

This has largely been proven to be mythology.

I put a 3.5 ghost connector in my Glock Gen3 over 10 years ago and have never had a problem/malfunction of any kind. Just a lighter trigger.

Sorry dude. You made the statement. You're going to have to prove that people have been convicted for making legal modifications to their Home Defense weapons.

Please point out where I said people have been convicted? I never wrote that. You wrote that.
What I did suggest is that several prominent gun attorneys have suggested that modifying your trigger on an HD or CCW gun is akin to using "Cop Killer" Black Talons or perforated Zombie killing ammo
from a risk assessment point of view. It's not advised.

That's why I typed "Just my opinion, better to be conservative about this."

For a criminal conviction of negligent discharge or manslaughter, a prosecutor must prove the defendant acted with "gross negligence," defined as a reckless disregard for human safety.
Here is an article by famed gun writer and self defense pistol trainer/instructor Massad Ayoob that outlines six cases. Define a hair trigger for us RAMCLAP. Are you confident that an opposing attorney
couldn't convince a non gun educated jury and or judge what a "hair trigger" is and that the OPs modified or change connector wasn't a hair trigger? Are you professing greater knowledge of this than
Massad Ayoob?

Yes, see how you like it after the polishing. If it doesn't do enough for you, then drop the dough on trigger upgrades. This video was a big help to me (but I think he wasted a lot of polish);

I've tweaked my Glocks to the fullest extent I can (having built up total Race Open Glocks, bla, bla, bla).

A connector will help, it wont get you as much improvement as you might hope.

Also consider buying a heavier RETURN SPRING

Also consider buying the PRO version of the Ghost connector. This will require fitting, and be careful not to install it without some filing to start. You run the risk of not being able to pull the trigger (which is needed to disassemble the gun).

Overall a Timney trigger will be the best trigger for a Glock.

******************

I don't know what the legal standards are for modified guns. I am totally ignorant.

I do know I am not a formally trained Glock Armorer, or Gunsmith. The extent of my maintenance of my CCW's do not go beyond what is directed in the user manual.

A SIG will have a much better trigger out of the box for the intended purpose of self defense, and a decent 1911 will even best a SIG, and both without having to touch the insides of the gun at all.

Otherwise, a hobby gun............ go nuts............. be safe, and learn.................

Massad Ayoob has been spreading this BS for years without shred of evidence. Just like you did in this thread.
