wow thanks for posting this, I would have missed it.

 

[MessedUpMike]

Of course, after I just ordered all of that from Midway last week

 

[Tanker_Super]

This is a good find, thanks for sharing it.

 

[usmcdad]

Thanks for the heads-up. excellent sale. Just ordered mine.

I had been meaning to put together another full repair kit for a while, but hadn't gotten around to it.

This does also come with the extended slide stop lever and extended mag release as well as the 4.5# connector that comes with the G34/G35.

But but but but I thought Glocks never break.

All machines break. Glocks just do it rarely and can be fixed by a monkey with a punch and five minutes, not a damn wizard with 1200 grit sandpaper and thirty hours labor. *cough1911cough*

Thanks for the heads up! I have several models I just ordered for

{img}monkey with 1911{/img}

Sure, he can look bad ass holding a 1911... but let's see what happens on his first (inevitable) stovepipe or internet argument about the blasphemy of ambidextrous controls and Novak-style sights. Plus look at the total disregard for trigger discipline... stupid monkey.


(FWIW I'm an avid JMB fan and think the 1911 is a phenomenal platform, but for sheer rugged dependability and stupid simple maintenance the Glock is going to win hands down every time. That being said it's still a machine and the first person to claim they have an unbreakable machine hasn't met a grunt.)

3.5# connector.

 

[NateTheShake]

3.5# connector.

Ah, I was wondering if anyone would correct me on that. If you look on the current Glock/Team Glock website you'll see the "3.5" connector has been renamed "4.5" This isn't a part re-design, Glock simply renamed it in response to complaints that it was closer to 4# than 3.5.

 

[pop-gunner]

But we're dealing with gen3 or older guns here as you said right?
Wasn't it still a 3.5 back then?

 

[dwnthehatch]

They changed it while the gen3 guns were still in production. The part did not change, only the name.

This is a smoking deal. It would cost me $36 for standard/compact Glocks and $43 for subcompacts from Glock with my discounted armorer pricing.

I have a Gen 1 G19 that has never had firing issues of any kind. Probably something like 10K or fewer rounds through it. Is this something I should get just for GP?

Depending on the platform recoil springs should be replaced every 1k-5k rounds just for good measure. Some platforms (like the Glock) will seemingly go forever with the original. I let my G19 go a little over the 10k mark before the first time I replaced the recoil spring. It never had any issues, but afterwards the lockup and cycling felt a lot more firm.

Most of this kit is totally unnecessary unless you physically lose or break the part, but the springs do fatigue over time and it's not bad practice to replace them from time to time.

It was called a 3.5 and marketed as such, but Glock had more than a few complaints that the true weight was closer to 4-4.5lb's so they just renamed the part. It's the identical part as the original 3.5, just with the corrected name.

Current Team Glock specs for the Gen 3 G34/G35:

Trigger Pull:
~2.0 kg / ~4.5 lbs.
Trigger Travel:
~12.5 mm / ~0.5 in.

G35 Gen4:

Trigger Pull:
~2.5 kg / ~5.5 lbs.
Trigger Travel:
~12.5 mm / ~0.5 in.

Just one of those "well I'll be damned" pieces of info someone stumped me on in the past so now I've got it memorized.

 

[pop-gunner]

Not even 11am and I've learned my new thing for the day.
Thank You.
Now I can turn my brain off.

Well I just noticed in researching the Gen 3 "minus" weight that the Gen 4 is listed back at the standard 5.5...

Not sure if that's a typo or if they just standardized the weight across all the models.

To be honest I have a G17L with the minus connector (call it 3.5 or 4.5 or whatever you want) and I can hardly tell a difference between it and any of my standard triggers. It might be lighter, but I can honestly say I'd need a machine to prove it because I can't tell any noticeable difference. Of course I had a friend that ended up with a "NY" trigger (8.5 IIRC) in his G27 and that was immediately recognizable.
