Do all gen 3 glocks have better triggers than gen 4?

[wrx04]

I have two gen 3 19's and they both have really nice, crisp triggers. My gen 4 17 is significantly worse....quite mushy and doesn't have that wall before the break.

I'm curious if this is the rule, or if I ended up getting a poor sample of the 17? Also, is there anything I can do to get the gen 4 like the gen 3? I've heard of swapping in a minus connector might help.

Thanks

You can put a gen 3 trigger bar in a gen 4.

You can put a gen 3 trigger bar in a gen 4.

That still does not change the fact that the angle of the connector is different which results in a heavier pull weight on the gen 4 unit.

Side by side, gen 4 guns will always have heavier trigger's than gen 4's even after installing a gen 3 bar.

I have a gen 4 G19. It had a nice trigger out of the box, slightly heavier than my previous gen 3 G17, but not "mushy" at all. Smooth take up, crisp break.

I found the biggest difference is travel after the striker is released. The Gen 4 has much more "after shock" than a gen 3. So much more, that I will probably not get another Gen 4 and just stick with the Gen 3 for Glocks.

Replace the 4th gen trigger bar, and "." connector with a 3rd gen bar and standard connector and they will feel the same.

Tried that. Didn't work. The main difference is the size of the trigger housing in the Gen4 being quite a bit smaller. There just isn't a way to make it like a 3rd gen...

More than a few people claim the Gen 4's are a little more accurate than the Gen 3's, with its factory OE trigger.

I run third gen trigger bars, and standard connectors in all my 4th gen glocks, and they feel the same as my thrd gen glocks, at least to me. Yes the connector housing is slightly different in the 4th gen and won't work in the third gen guns, but the connectors themselves are the same and will interchange between the housings.

Im not a fan of the 4th gen "." connectors as their break rolls much like the 3.5 connectors. I much prefer the break of the standard connectors. If you run a standard connector with a 4th gen trigger bar, the trigger will be very heavy. Glock discovered this with the early 4th gen guns and quickly came up with the "." connector.

I prefer the trigger in my Gen4 G19 to the trigger in my Gen3 G17. I like the firmer wall just before the break.
