    Most Glock malfunctions are caused by non Glock parts too. That being said, I have replaced many a connector. It's hard to screw that up without creating a completely non-functional gun.

    If you are able to get a shot off, chances are you've installed it correctly. If the trigger fails to reset something is wrong with the connector. ESPECIALLY when you can swap it in and out for OEM and only the Ghost fails to reset.

      Normally when the trigger wouldn't reset it means they installed the trigger return spring backwards.

        If you are long range and have to shoot using your CCW there is a problem. With that said I prefer my CCW to be as light and snag free as possible

          Or that Ghost connectors are not consistent in manufacture. I know you want to keep insisting that this non-reset is user error but it really isn't. All of my Glocks have had the connectors replaced with Dot or Minus connectors and NONE of them have ever failed to reset.

          It wasn't until I tried the Ghost connector did I experience a reset problem. And it was repeatable.

            I personally would not put any aftermarket connector in my HD or CCW gun. Others have suggested the "-" connector, maybe that can be a good option.

            For my non HD guns, I have used Glockworx triggers and Ghost connectors without a single issue. The connectors I used were all "Drop In" and did not require any modification.

            It sounds like you want your CCW gun to pull double duty. You want a lighter trigger for long distance range shooting accuracy? I would suggest keeping the stock connector and replacing the trigger spring and safety block spring. Wolff make a "Competition Pak" spring set that's cost $9. It comes with the 2 springs I mentioned and a firing pin spring, I Do Not suggest installing the reduced power firing pin spring, keep the stock one installed, otherwise you could experience light primer strikes. These 2 springs will lighten the trigger pull and keep the stock Glock connector geometry in place. These 2 springs should reduce the trigger pull approx 1.0-1.5 lbs.

            I've tried various parts and spring combos and the $9 spring combo from Wolff game me the best results for very little $$. YMMV

                  I don't think the trigger is the problem. Its probably that whole G27 is a subcompact in .40s&w that's the problem.

                  10-15 yards on my bone stock G26 is almost as easy as my G19.

                  Lots of guys buy G27s and lots trade them in for G26s.

                    My other suggestion is tighten up your support hand, loosen up your main hand. And do a lot of dry fire practice.

                      Easy swap out to the - Connector or Ghost. If installed properly, you will have no issues. As far medium to long range, that's all range time & dry fire.

                        So even Glock Armorers install the connectors incorrectly? It's a very simple piece to install. I don't see how this many people can have installed such a simple piece correctly. Also, why will one work for 500ish rounds me then fail to work properly? Can it really be how it was installed since it was fine for the first. 500 rounds?

                            Exactly. Why put an after market trigger connector that sometimes works and sometimes fails all for an hardly noticeable difference in a trigger? Especially in your chosen CCW?

                              Why change to a minus connector even in a carry handgun?

                              Because 99.9% of those handguns will never see a defensive use of it.
                              Because paper tends to be your biggest and most recurring threat, and you want to enjoy shooting your CCW gun for shooting sake.
                              Because you struggle with technique and want to take the short cut to greater accuracy through an improved trigger.
                              How many people do you know who modified a trigger and were involved in a SD situation?
                              Even if there is one person who created more liability through such an activity, still does not suggest that no one else should.

                              Cmon guys, stop spreading this stuff...There is no factual basis for it...

                                Maybe its the amount I shoot my Glocks, but I can certainly feel the difference between the standard, dot and minus connectors.

                                My standard setup across all of my Glocks (all Gen 3) is a Dot connector with a Wolf Comp trigger spring (even the G19 and G30S on my permit). I have a minus in my 17. The only time any one of my Glocks has had a malfunction is when I put the Ghost connector in a G30S.
