Hello All,
I just got a new G34. It is a blue label with the 5.5 connector. My question is what after market connector / trigger / mods should I do to maximize this pistol?
Not sure why it is a blue label 5.5 connector. I have a G34 and G35 and both are designed to come with a 3.5 connector as should yours. Must be something different about it then as I am unaware of the change. You can pick up a 3.5 connector pretty cheap at multiple places. The 3.5 connector is all you need as it should have come with the gun. other than that you can have the trigger buffed and polished to make it a bit smoother. That is about it.
Sorry - should have been more clear - the G34 is a LEO model that came with a blue label on the box. It is marked right on the label that it came with a 5.5 connector.

Good stainless aftermarket barrel if you want better accuracy/ either the .25 cent trigger job (google it) with a Wolf 3.5 disconnector/ or a Vanek trigger
A Glock trigger will never be 1911 like, a Vanek IMHO is the best a Glock trigger can be though, I wish I had one in my G35, until I get one my 25 cent trigger job and competition spring kit works just fine.

hope this helps. </div></div>
This. Once you have shot it for a while you will know what you want to do beyond this.

well then your ready to rock and roll... its fun and accurate right out of the box.. dont waste money on aftermarket junk. the pistols already more accurate then any shooter on here can shoot it. anyone who tells you they gained accuracy with a new barrel either is lying to get you to buy one or cant shoot a pistol very well and THINKS they gained something by getting a new barrel. i can put 10 rounds inside a nickel at 7 yards with my G23 all stock except new sights.. and i know the guns capable of better then that.
Personally I hate 3.5# triggers in Glocks. The weight advantage really isn't and they have longer travel for brake and reset; not much but it's there. If you simply have to tinker with it do the $.25 trigger job and go to the range. If that still isn't enough then get a Ghost connector fitted. Those actually do seem to make a difference. I'd also tell you to look at some better sights. What was said earlier about the barrels is true they are more than accurate enough but you won't get the true potential out of the gun with the factory sights. Look at the Dawson adjustable.
