Ghost Rocket connectors are not adjustable. There is a metal tab that blocks additional rearward travel. It has to be filed down to the point of allowing the striker to release. There is no way it can "back out" or come loose like an overtravel screw. The only difference between the fuctioning of a Glock with a GR and one with a factory connector is that the factory connector allows extra rearward movement of the trigger after the striker is already released... much like the welded overtravel stops you are referencing.

I have to agree with Tactical. The Ghost connector helped my accuracy. I have 4 Glocks (G17, G21, G27 & G30) all with the 3.5 Ghost Rocket and never had any issues except one. I have put over 2000 rounds thru the G30 with only one miss-fire from a dud primer. I use the heavier springs (safety and striker) in the 45’s as recommended from Art @ Ghost. I was using the lighter springs in the 9 and 40, but changed them over to the heavier wolff springs.

Anyone ever inadvertantly hit the mag release button after installing the extended mag release ?

My thumbs don't quite reach the stock mag release button, and I have to kinda do that little push/snap movement with my hand to hit it. I was thinking this could be the one thing I would replace in addition to the night sights on my stock Glock.

The Vickers mag release is longer than stock, but not as long as the extended "comp" version. Check it out.

Hmm, seems like good advice.

Well, if you want to hand fit an aftermarket part, yourself...which neither Glock, nor anyone who trains people to use Glocks recommends...no one is gonna stop you. There are plenty of people over on GlockTalk who'll have something in common with you.
