I’ve allowed friends to shoot my Evo Elite and Rocket equipped guns and seen them quickly double them. They look at me like I handed them a malfunctioning gun. It wasn’t. It was shooter induced.
For those not familiar with Evos and Rockets, They have an extremely short amount of over travel (basically none) and a short reset.
Going from a standard Glock OEM connector to a fitted Ghost connector is quite a difference.

I can say without hesitation that its not shooter induced. One trigger pull does not equal two shots unless its selectfire or malfunctioning. In this case it was malfunctioning.
I am little late to this party but I put a Ghost Rocket connector in a G30S and it failed to reset in live fire. A shooting buddy of mine had a similar experience with a Ghost connector. I will no longer use or recommend them. Seeing more stories about reset problems with these connectors is not surprising.
I have been using Taran Tactical’s Grand Master spring and connector kits in my race guns and have been very happy with them for production and SSP shooting.
Other than ghost, where i have never had a failure, I have had several other brands of connectors fail to reset, including factory Glock 5.5. I have many friends and acquaintances who use ghost connectors for work and competition…with an estimated total of 60k rounds through them. Never a single failure. Between all of us, I’ve seen the following fail to reset: scherer, lone wolf, vanek, glock 5.5, glock minus, glock dot, zev tech, et al.
One failure does not a poor connector make. And, specifically, the connector to which you refer is not being reviewed in this thread. Further, nobody is asking anybody else for an endorsement of any product.
I can say without hesitation that a doubling of fire without an additional trigger pull in a glock is a sear engagement issue. Failures to reset are a separate issue and can be connector related.
As I stated, he removed the ghost part and put in an oem minus connector, never had an issue with it again.
I don’t know what else to tell you. I had this conversation with the head glock rep and trainer for the SE USA a few years back. Per his words, a connector cannot cause a sear engagement issue resulting in doubling. We had this within the context of discussing the operation of the G18. I’m done talking about this. We’re going to have to leave it at that.
I do not, nor have I stated I have, doubt what you are saying.
I stated my experiences with a ghost product, I posted a link to my experience of a ghost product.
You are clearly getting upset over an easy exchange of information, relax.
Which connector would you say gave you the lightest trigger pull, the Ghost or OEM? I would like to know for my own information.
The reason I am asking is that I have seen people with light match rifle triggers double, then hand the rifle to someone else who does not.
And to the contrary, the only connectors I’ve seen fail to reset were Ghosts. And there are other posters in this exact thread that have experienced the same thing.
Yes this is clearly your personal Ghost circle jerk thread and you clearly aren’t interested in hearing differing opinions, so jerk away.
I didn’t START this thread to hear others’ opinions. I came here to offer my experience to others. I’m not wasting any more of my time here. Back to AR general/technical. Unsubscribed.
Can we keep it civil, please? We are just talking about parts and our experiences. No one is more right than the next guy.
Lightest is an oem g17L trigger group. It is noticeably lighter and dependable. The one I have came with a minus connector and whayever other work glock does to the g17l’s.
Thank you.
The Rocket needs to be properly fitted or it will not allow the trigger to reset. Ghost will send a free replacement if you bugger the installation.
The Ghost connectors usually work as advertised. In my experience issues arrive when you use extra power trigger springs combined with some of the connectors (Rocket especially). Not all extra power springs are alike. As with anything some springs are stronger than others. Sometimes the extra power spring can prevent the trigger from traveling forward enough to reset the trigger and trigger safety. It’s always best to have several springs to choose from to find the right combination.
Quick question on ghost connectors. Do issues arise when just the connector is installed or when aftermarket springs are installed at the same time?
Also do these issue show up immediately or do they happen at random round counts?
I always install one component at a time and test feel and reliability. That way I can go back one step. I polish engagement surfaces - connector/trigger bar; firing pin safety hump/firing pin safety; trigger bar cruciform/striker, then if I want to do more I start with the trigger spring - other folks may want to do others first, that is just me; normally you shouldn’t have problems as long as you have 1/2 to 2/3 (Glock says 2/3) engagement between the striker and the cruciform tab. You throw on a new connector, a new trigger spring, and a new striker spring, take it to the range and it doesn’t work, you’ve got a lot of diagnosing to do. If you do it one at a time it is easy to see 1) which gives you the most bang for your buck; 2) where the problems started. JMO
Another thing I do is have several different complete firing assemblies to put into the weapon - 3 pins out, pull old put in new.
Well, the Edge failed to reset again today in my Gen 3 17, all factory everything except for the temporary Edge install. It happened on the 38th round.
Mine is a sample of one. I’ve just gone back to the OEM in all of my pistols.
Serious question -
What is everyone doing with these connectors that are failing them?
Contacting Ghost? Selling them? Trash or parts bin?
