No a good bang for the buck item
0 of 1 found this helpful I bought the package for the connector and trigger spring just to evaluate. It's is a good product, but there is no perceptible difference in trigger action in my EDC 21/4. I had already polished points of contact so no real gains there. And the holes in the Ghost connector to keep it clean? Not convinced it is necessary or will make a difference.

Private Agendas
Private Agendas is a cleverly written book. I've met and talked at length with the author and found it is even more clever than I originally thought. While it is set primarily in a Trident class submarine (with a mixed nationality and mixed gender crew) and is full of never-before seen perspectives of the enlisted submarine sailor, the book's final chapters end in the 'real world' giving the reader insight into the American angst concerning the conspiratorial nature of the New World Order and the secret societies engineering global politics.
I also learned that the 'sea stories' told my the characters are based on actual events. I remember the tragic fire aboard the USS Bonefish years ago, and the author has written one Senior Chief Auxiliaryman's recollection into the story. While it is told in the book as taking place aboard another Trident boat, old timers who remember the Bonefish cannot help but being affected by this anecdotal recounting of a cataclysmic event in submarine history. Additionally, the description of day-to-day life aboard the fictional USS Quebec will stir fond and often comical memories for the veteran submarine sailor.
What makes this book such a powerful piece of literature is that it is, according to the author, a fascinating allegory of the inner world of a transgender person in crisis. I found this to be a very compelling peek into a world difficult to comprehend. And again, another aspect of the story is the way in which the author has worked into it the metaphysics of the karma/ birth-rebirth aspect of our experiences in life. The submerged submarine is the metaphoric womb, the missile launch is birth, etc.
And finally, the author who lived as a male and now lives as a woman completed a career in submarines AND also was initiated into the Freemasons before transition. She has done a marvellous job at weaving into the story the secret rites of passage into the Masons. The only negative thing I found in the book was the publishers failure to correct several typos, but they are tolerable and few. The author says she's working to correct them. She also says she is developing the book into a screenplay.
I highly recommend Private Agendas to anyone. Whether you just want a fantastic action story or a body of work to stir the mind and give insight into secretive, realms Private Agendas delivers. Private Agendas will make the reader think.

good quality.
These seem to be better than most I would find in an army-navy surplus store. I would buy them again if needed.
