FYI: Glock manufactures its handguns with four different trigger pull
weights. The standard Glock service pistol has a 5.5 pound trigger pull, the
competition pistols have a 4.5 pound trigger pull; many police agencies
order their Glock pistols with either the New York 1 (NY1) trigger with a
8.5 pound pull or the New York 2 (NY2) trigger with a 12.5 pound pull. The
New York Police Department (NYPD) ordered the heaver trigger pulls when it
first went to Glock semi-automatic pistols back in the 1990's as means of
defeating the "cute lawyer trick" employed in wrongful death lawsuits
against the city of accusing either the police officer or the police
department of negligence for creating "a hair-trigger situation" by using a
handgun with a light trigger pull, thereby leading inevitably and
unnecessarily to a tragic death (according to plaintiff's bar's theory of
the case). Thus the use of the heavy trigger pull on the NYPD's Glock
service pistols is intended to counter and dismiss this charge from the
outset. The down side is that heavy trigger pull can make it harder for
inexperienced shooters to hit a moving target under stress, as seems to have
been demonstrated by recent events in NYC.

FYI:  The would-be  Jihadist murderer was armed with an Eastwing 16" long
camp axe.
