Bringing the subcompacts and the .40 cal competition pistol up to speed, Glock had Gen4 versions of their G26 subcompact 9mm, G27 subcompact .40 cal, and the G35 the longslide .40 cal out on the line. The Gen4 treatment includes the usual grip update, interchangeable backstrap, 2 stage recoil spring and the updated trigger. The guns all shot fine. In fact the G35 shot steel like it was shooting magnetic bullets.

We also had a connector until it was chance to try out the G19 with the 3.5lb “minus” trigger connector. [NOTE: There's some confusion about this part because Glock originally called it the 3.5 pound connector but has since renamed it the 4.5 pound connector. I've talked to Glock and they confirm that it's the same part. I'm avoiding the issue and calling it the "minus" connector since that's the identification marking engraved on it.] While not new, it’s Mil/LEO only trigger option that softens the break after the long takeup, taming the trigger significantly. It wasn’t a hair trigger, by any means. It felt more like the Gen 3 trigger. If you picked up a Gen4 and are unhappy with the feel of the new, harder break, contact your Glock law enforcement rep or a Glock distributor and they can set you up with the lighter connector for the cost of a roll of Copenhagen.
