Watch: Glock "New York" Trigger Installation and Test

There are a number of Glock triggers on the market with different features. Decades ago, the New York City Police Department switched from revolvers to Glocks. They were afraid that the short and light trigger would induce negligent discharges. They demanded that Glock come up with a trigger which had a more revolver like feel. The result was the infamous “New York” trigger.

Gun Fzx has produced a great video which explains the characteristics of the Glock OEM New York trigger varients, NY1 and NY2.

“For the final test of my Glock 32 I install a NY 1 and a NY 2 trigger. It was just as bad as I had hoped. Significantly increased trigger pull weight with even more creep and sponge than stock. Quite bad.”

The New York trigger is not for everyone. It is widely believed that the New York Police Department has a low hit rate because the heavy trigger makes their Glock harder to shoot. Who knows, maybe one of the triggers would work for your application.
