I also tried the NY1 trigger spring in live fire, as well as the NY2 trigger spring in dry fire. First off, the NY2 is much too heavy for me. In my experience, I found that the NY1 was very repeatable, but also much heavier. This seemed to introduce some additional over-travel in the trigger. If you look at the geometry of the springs, the S-coil spring actually helps you pull the trigger.
In other words, it lightens the trigger. That may be why it seems like the trigger pull gets heavier as you pull: the S-coil spring helps at the start of the pull, but by the end, it has fully compressed and all of the additional motion is from your finger. As I stated, all of my Glock triggers are in factory condition. Yeah Glock does approve the standard trigger for defensive use. That includes making it heavier. If you ever found yourself in court having, god forbid, to defend yourself the people judging you are not gun savvy folks.
I think a good lawyer would be able to make a case either way. The issue is that YOU modified the the trigger, not that you made it lighter or heavier. Do you have any case history to the contrary? If so I would be very happy to include it in my course. This is of course all academic…. The trigger advice originates from various information mostly provided by Massad Ayoob.
Once brought in they will ask the engineer whether the trigger modification was a factory approved option. The case can then depend on wether the engineer says the option is approved or not. Glock does approve the installation of an NY1 trigger spring with either the stock 5.
A bad choice on my behalf for a court case but also something people should note, you can get the trigger setup this way from the factory. Likewise any Glock certified armoer can do it for you. Either way your advice is certainly the most sound.
Never touch the trigger in a defensive gun. Let the factory do it. My reasoning for increasing the trigger weight is mostly to avoid a negligent discharge during a potential self defense situation. Just like explaining why we use premium hollow point ammunition in our carry guns because that is what the Police Departments who have spent beaucoup dollars researching and finding the best ammo available , configuring your carry trigger exactly the same way police duty weapons are is wise.
Secondly, my Glocks wear the factory trigger kits, normal connector and S-coil trigger spring. Just for the record, if I had my way, Glock parts would be for sale at the local convenience store, right next to the fresh doughnuts, warm burritos … hot dog roller and Nightcrawlers. Note that if you use the 3. This is the route I went. Yet, while my Gen3 Glock 22 is a real tack-driver with a light trigger, I fretted night and day over whether I could hit the broad side of a barn with the NY-1 on board.
Could I? One thing the New York trigger group gives you, in addition to a heavier pull, is a double action revolver feel. It transfers the resistance into a vertical orientation as opposed to a horizontal one. It took about 7 shots to get used to the new trigger feel. And the gun was just as fast and just as accurate as the old, ultra-light trigger. My conclusion? No more hair trigger for me. By focusing on the fundamentals of good defensive pistol shooting technique solid stance, high grip, crush grip, sight picture and trigger pull one can be just as accurate with a stout trigger as with a light one.
I can see if you live in a draconian state like NY or CA where you have to live with extra gun laws, but imposing them upon yourself just because someone says its a good idea? No need to go to a match and tie one hand behind my back because its the new thing.

Despite the heavier pull, accuracy was still excellent at 7 paces.
