Glock Connector Mapping: 5#, 4.5#, 3.5#, Ghost Edge 3.5

Follow up to my first round of Glock trigger testing.

This time I used factory fire control parts in an OEM gen4 frame and compared connectors. For round three, I'm going to stone/polish each individual part and map the differences. See where the juice is worth the squeeze.

Fantastic research!

Totally anecdotally, both my gen 4 G26 and a friend's gen 5 G26 have the "best" OEM triggers out of our groups collection of Glocks. I really why the G26 seems "better" than all the rest? Something someone needs to test!

Funny because my gen4 G26 has the worst trigger of all my Glocks. The closest thing I have to a gen5 is a G43 but the trigger does feel cleaner than the gen3/4. I think it has to do with the FP plunger being a ramp instead of a round button with sharper edge profile. I also hypothesized it had something to do with the new trigger spring being in compression instead of tension, and a different force vector on the connector tab. A while back I swapped a gen5 housing and trigger bar into my gen4 19, but didn't notice any difference. May have to revisit that experiment on the rig.
