Stainless steel connector reduces the length of trigger pull, improves reset, and eliminates accuracy-robbing overtravel. Ghost Rocket 3.5 reduce trigger-pull weight to 3.5 pounds respectively; both have an extra tab that contacts the trigger bar and prevents overtravel after the striker falls. Each connector requires minor fitting.
SPECS: Stainless steel, polished finish. Will fit all models except Glock models 42 or 43.

I love my Rocket!!(23/10/2009)
Best trigger connector available-bar none. Lighten & shortened my trigger pull and gave me a faster reset. I ordered the 3.5 lb. (ROCKET) from BROWNELLS... Man oh man was I impressed. The directions are easy and to the point...no problems. I have tried several different brands of 3.5 connectors, however the 3.5 GHOST ROCKET is the "slickest" yet with NO over travel at all.... Very Good Product.. I will recommend to all GLOCKSTERS!
Good Product(24/10/2009)
This product works well. It is easy to install provided you have the correct tools. However, it is difficult to adjust the trigger stop. That adjustment will require that you dis-assemble and re-assemble your Glock many times to get the stop just right. Once installed it is a bit of magic and it greatly improves the Glock trigger pull.
Huge improvement(08/01/2010)
Put this in my Glock 26 along with a smooth faced trigger.It is exactly what I was looking for,the pull is very light and smooth.No stacking like the factory trigger and no over travel.You should be able to be comfortable taking your gun completely apart before you do this though.The instruction on the Ghost website is also a must to follow.Also get the Glock orange slide plate that is sold here too.
Nice Improvement to a Great Pistol(09/04/2010)
Made my Glock 23 trigger lighter and gave it a shorter reset. Easy to install if you have tools and patience. Does take some time to get the trigger stop right. I recommend a very very little adjustment at a time till you get it to your personal liking. It feels better than the factory target trigger on my Glock 34; it's next to get a Ghost Rocket Trigger Connector
Don't Waste Your Money(26/05/2010)
Installed the Rocket twice, and trigger would not fire, making it very hard to remove the slide.
Replaced it twice with the factory connector, and the pistol worked fine each time. Glock 22
Great Feeling & Reliable(10/08/2010)
It was a direct drop in for my Glock 22, just double check the clearance. I also polished all the metal moving parts that rub to make the pull as smooth as I could. For those of you with different models follow the instructions on the site to correctly fit the connector.
works very well(29/08/2010)
This item takes a little fitting but is worth the effort. Works very smoothly when installed correctly good quality.
Worth the money(31/12/2010)
I installed this trigger connector in my Gen4 G17. Noticeable difference in trigger pull. Very smooth and crisp. Fairly easy to install once you understand this is not a drop in connector. The bar extending to the right in the photo requires some grinding in order to fit properly to reduce trigger travel. At first I did not realize this was not a drop in connecter and assemble the glock without grinding the bar. Needless to say it would not fire or disassemble. I had to lock the slide to the rear and remove the back plate, firing pin, and extractor and shake it till the slide came off. Once I figured out that I had to grind it down to fit properly it was very easy to install and works great. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because some instructions should of came with the part that informed you on how to make it fit properly.
LIVES UP TO THE HYPE(01/01/2011)
MY SGT HAS BEEN USING THIS CONNECTOR FOR THE LAST YEAR AND LOVED IT. HE WAS SPEAKING TO SOME OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS AT THE RANGE A FEW WEEKS BACK AND I HEARD HIM SAYING HOW MUCH HE LIKED IT. BEING THE WEAPONS JUNKIE THAT I AM I ASKED IF I COULD LOAD UP A MAG AND GIVE IT A TRY.
IT WAS LOVE AT FIRST PULL. I HAD ALWAYS USED THE STANDARD GLOCK FACTORY TRIGGER AND THOUGHT THAT WAS AS GOOD AS IT GOT. I WAS WRONG. THE PULL WITH THE ROCKET IS LITE AND CRISP FOLLOWED BY A TRIGGER RESET THAT USES SO LITTLE MOVEMENT YOU COULD MISS IT IF YOU ARE NEW TO FIREARMS. I NOW USE THE ROCKET IN MY DUTY WEAPON AND IN BOTH MY PERSONAL SIDEARMS. IF YOU TRY IT YOU'LL LOVE IT.
Good Product Takes Careful Adjustment(19/01/2011)
You should go to the Ghost website and look at the pictures carefully before you start and READ the data. About the Dave Spaulding angle that is on the site. Be careful, if you get the angle too steep it appears to capture the sear bar and will not allow the gun to fire, then you must shorten the TCT bar well past the sear release to get the sear to come up. Adjust the TCT square first, until the gun fires, then give the bottom a little angle, do not do both cuts at once. Do buy the orange half size slide block so you can trip the sear.
When finished, do yourself a favor and combine the rocket with the titanium safety. Add a little synthetic liquid grease to the striker and the sear and it is an amazing transformation.
Trigger Job(20/01/2011)
This is the third and final part of my personal trigger job on all my Glocks. Must be careful to take off only what is needed to make each gun completely an excellent trigger job with trigger stopping just after let off. Just follow plain instructions and you will have a great trigger. The first two parts of this trigger job is a Titanium striker and safety plunger. If done correctly you will be pleased.
Repeat Customer(21/01/2011)
Have them installed on my 35 and Gen 4 22. Work great and help with trigger pull and quick trigger reset. Had them installed by company rep, who does great work.
By far the best Glock 3.5 connector(27/03/2011)
I have used the Glockworx and OEM glock 3.5 connector and they do not even come close to comparing to the Ghost Rocket. By far the smoothest connector I have used.
Why don't Glocks come stock with these?(22/05/2011)
GO TO Ghost website & read instructions 1st.You don't need orange slide plate if replacing w/sexy aftermarket one from Brownells,just sand out top of striker circle on old for easier removal during fitting process.As mentioned by others,titanium striker/safety plunger a must for optimal glass-like smooth trigger pull. Search internet for Glock .25 cent trigger job, polish all mentioned points (Dremel w/polish bit best),consider a stainless recoil spring rod & polish that too. I Installed Brownells recoil reduction system in my .45 acp with noticeable improvement. Now it's as good as it gets! Worth the time.I don't list fitting Rocket connector as a con,that's what makes this model better. If you don't want to fit it,buy model w/out trigger stop & deal w/over-travel.Cry-baby!
Excelent Part(13/06/2011)
Works as advertised, IT DOES NEED FITTING THOUGH.
Works Great!(30/06/2011)
Works perfect. I've been using this for practical competition shooting for over 20,000 rounds just this past year. The only small down side is it requires fitting that may take a while if it's your first time. However, after fitting, it works like a charm.
Vastly improves the Glock trigger!(27/07/2011)
I recently installed the Ghost Rocket 3.5 Trigger Connector on my G19. I spent about half a day working on my Glock, starting on grip stippling with a Weller soldering iron and then fitting the Ghost Rocket.
Before installing the Ghost Rocket I had the factory 3.5 connector installed. I used the instructions from the Ghost website as well as disassembly instructions from the original 25 cent trigger job website.
I did mostly used a hand file with a little help from a Dremel with a polishing head as I was concerned about removing too much metal. As I was very cautious in filing the connector, I ended up assembling and reassembling the frame many times.
After I completed working on the connector, I went ahead with the 25 cent trigger job using Flitz metal polish, Q-tips and an old T-shirt. I did all the polishing by hand. This was not a lot of work and I strongly reccomend not using any power tools for this.
Of course after completing the installation, I went to the range to make sure that the Glock worked! I got a lot of satisfaction showing my Glock off to the other instructors. What made my day was one of the instructors (who was and officer in a Tier 1 unit) compare the trigger to a 1911!
Good Trigger Pull(09/09/2011)
Ghost highly recommends that a gunsmith installs this product. It can be installed by an end user, but you MUST take your time and make minute adjustments. It is a hassle to install and if you are not good with tools, don't bother with making this a DIY project. After the install the trigger pull is a bit softer than the stock, I compared directly with a stock G22 which felt a bit more crisp. I prefer the trigger pull with the new connector.
Smokin' good trigger!(26/11/2011)
You have to fit the trigger stop by gradually shortening it, so this isn't a drop in but believe me it's worth it!
It took me about an hour and a half working slow, getting all goofed up and having to disassemble the slide to get the striker out so I could get the gun apart on my first few trial fittings.
Remember it's a trigger stop and while it's long you can't pull the trigger!
When you get close to the right length you can trip the trigger bar with the disassembly tool or a pin punch through the armorer's orange slide cover plate (get one of these!) and that makes try fitting much easier.
Google Ghost inc. and see their instructions before you start.
I fitted mine with the "Dave Spalding cut" (google that too) and the reset is astonishingly short. Dave, I owe you one buddy!
Long story short this thing works amazingly well, the Spalding cut is the away to go, and if I can do it anyone can. I used a file to do most of the cutting and a stone for the last bit and to polish. Work slow, check fit often, and don't forget to buy an armorer's orange slide cover plate!
Ghost 3.5 Ultimate(20/12/2011)
For a part that you can install yourself without any gun smithing it's a great product, it's fairly simple to install with a noticeable difference from the stock trigger pull of a glock.
Made my glock unreliable(19/03/2012)
Put this in according to instructions removing 1/32 from the TCT and the trigger would not pull. Had to disassemble the slide to get it off the frame. Removed some more from the TCT and then it was unreliable. Also the trigger pull was very spongey. Don't waste your money buy only Glock OEM
Better than drop-in connector(06/05/2012)
Install on Glock 17 Gen4. Install was easy - get the half back plate from ghost (Stock #:100-001-260WB). This is a temporary piece needed for an easy install. Trigger now feels about a pound lighter, with no overtravel and the reset is way fast (almost too fast)! Very tedious to install, but worth it in the end.
Excellent but watch out(30/09/2012)
This is an excellent upgrade for a Glock, however if you switch uppers (like change to an after market .22LR) make sure you take the back plate off and use the orange (set up backplate). Check to make sure the gun will fire before you just put the different upper on. Since it has the trigger stop it is possible the different upper will not let the striker fall.
Really Works(08/10/2012)
Have shot a Glock 21 after replacing factory 5.5 trigger with a 3.5 Ghost. This one helped speed up my recovery between shots and assuring better time on target recovery. Follow the easy instructions that are written and accompanied with pictures. If you've been shooting for awhile with the factory trigger be patient with the new one. You have to train new muscle memory to not press as hard at reset or you will crank off an unsited round. I don't recommend for conceal carry use for that reason.
In every one of my Glocks(31/01/2013)
I really like these, best solution for trigger overtravel adjustment. It takes a while to get it right the first time but then I use a properly adjusted one as a template for future ones.
DEFINITELY get the orange slide cover and thank me later.
Wow!(25/12/2015)
I have 2 other ghost triggers in my other Glock 17's. Didn't have to fit those. I understood that fitting was required for this part, so I took it to a machinist in order to make it fit correctly. (cost $20)Showed him the measurement and instructions. Didn't work. Had to take the slide apart, trigger wouldn't set. Very odd for a ghost trigger part, have used them for years.
Minor fitting(13/03/2016)
Tried fitting the part filing a little at a time. It kept hanging up and required the slide to be stripped to get the Glock apart. Finally decided to cut off the "pre travel eliminator" all together. Ghost makes good products, but save yourself the hassle and get the regular kit, the short pre-travel and reset one is more trouble than it is worth.
when properly fit it works great(25/12/2016)
when properly fit it will increase your accuracy with shorter trigger travel and lower trigger pull.
required for fitting is the orange cap for the slide. This allows you to release the trigger bar from the striker
when fitting. If the trigger is still spongy look for flex in the transfer bar.
Add the heavy trigger reset spring for lighter pull and better reset.
