As a side note, with Glocks, like most any other pistol, lightening the striker/hammer spring can potentially make the gun less than fully reliable. It could be very bad if you had to use it and it went "snap" instead of "bang" because you had installed a 4 pound striker spring in place of the OEM string.
I installed the 3.5lb. CONNECTOR which is not a "spring". Are you aware of any problems with 3.5lb. connectors? Nobody I've ever talked to is.

No sir. You're good to go with the 3.5 connector.

I was responding to marshaul, he lists his location as San Francisco. I didn't realize that situations in other parts of the country that don't affect you were inappropriate. I will try to be more appropriate in the future.:p

If you read the entire thread you will see that there was a discussion about the legal ramifications of altering your carry weapon. Therefore, the mention of a "commie DA in SF" is appropriate for those who live in the west (or anywhere else for that matter)and may find themselves in San Francisco.

Sorry that I can't answer your questions about what you, personally, would be doing in San Francisco with or without a gun. I simply don't know you that well.:lol:
Sorry! I didn't realize at first that you were directing your comments to Marshaul and being that this was in General Discussion I didn't get the connection of your picking such a liberal city where carry is difficult to make the comment. Got it now!

A stone job by a good gunsmith can really do wonders for the 1911 trigger pull and feel. You can diy if you know what you're doing, but a smith won't charge too much if you don't. My SIG GSRs are at 4#--now that they're broken in, and that's perfect for me. Too light is worse than too heavy--you don't want an AD.
