help... glock 35 will not reset trigger

[glockprotected]

by pulling back on the slide, the ramp in the slide assembly will move over the connector in the trigger housing resetting the trigger.
Dry firing the striker fired semi autos is ok. Dry fire the hammer pistols is not good I was told.

hey everybody thanks for the overwhelming response. Sorry i didn't make myself clear about racking the slide for trigger reset. anyway i figured out that the striker sleeve was in backwards. I put it in the slide after the striker instead of between the spring and striker. theres my learning curve...thanks guys.

I am still not impressed with the 3.5 ghost rocket connector and spring mods!! trigger is still very mushy and heavy. I am glad it was cheap!!

If you "dry fire" by pulling the trigger and do not cycle the slide your glock should not reset the trigger.

Which is no different than almost any striker fired pistol or semi auto rifle. Do we *really* have to explain that the slide or bolt needs to be cycled to check reset on most semi weapons that are not DA?

I have always gone to a 2 pound connector to help reduce trigger pull. But if you want crisp with shorter travel and resets, you have to go further and buy a fancy aftermarket trigger assembly.

^^^ That is the design of the Glock trigger system. No disconnector or spring set will change that. It gets lighter but always mushy and feels odd for a trigger. People (especially fans) get used to it after a while but it is not a decent trigger.
The only way to overcome that is to buy one of the after market Fulcrom trigger system/assemblies. Around $150 and up from different makers (Glock Store, Glockworks, etc..) but they really change the trigger feel and pull weight.

I installed a Ghost 'Edge' 3.5lb drop in connector in a G22 gen 3 - not mushy at all. Crisper with positive reset.

I heard the Gen 3's respond better to them than the Gen 4's maby that's why

Please enlighten me about what your point was in your first post? All the Glocks I have seen and worked on have never had the Connector bent forward like your picture, they have all been flush with the trigger mechanism housing. They have ALL reset properly.

35 parts, good luck.

We had to explain it (response) to one thread complaining why his first Glock trigger did not reset.

I agree with you though. Most of us know how they work.

Ok, here's the deal with a mushy Glock trigger, it is mostly NOT the trigger assembly. A lot of the mushyness is the frame-to-slide fit. Some people that are ballsy enough to do it (myself included) will take the step of hammering in the slide rails where the frame lugs rest while the gun is in battery. It makes a huge difference in how the trigger feels. However, you will likely lose a little bit of the Glock, you could stick concrete in me and I will still cycle, reliability.

It's designed as a combat gun, not a precision shooter. You can turn it into one, but you have to give up something to do so.

Weird. I'd never heard of that before. Not gonna do it to my guns though. Interesting nonetheless. I'd imagine the same thing could be accomplished with an aftermarket slide.

Yep, several different companies make aftermarket slides that are advertised as a tighter fit. But, I made my Glock 35 trigger an order of magnitude better only by modifying the stock parts, this mod included.

interesting post on the vertical fit of the slide.

just checked my gen 2 17 and it seems if i put thumb pressure with my weak hand on the top of the slide just ahead of the rear sight i get a very ,very, small improvement in dry fire trigger feel . i seem to have a acceptable fit, judging by the thumb and wiggle test.

what do you think of the thumb test? try it yourself
