FWIW, I have 5 Glocks in NY1/- configuration. None require touching the trigger to chamber a round. Something is definitely wrong. I'd stop using that gun until it's fixed.
This. What about the gun makes it impossible to chamber a round? Is the slide locked closed somehow?
Add me to the other guys who run a "-" connector with NY-1 spring and don't need to manipulate the trigger in any way to chamber a round.
Can you elaborate on what goes wrong if you try to chamber a round without manipulating the trigger?
I'm trying my best not to sound dickish, but it puzzles me that "pull the trigger while chambering" was a troubleshooting 'fix' that you even tried in the first place. In my mind, that's built on the idea that "the pistol doesn't work when I observe proper safety rules... maybe it will work if I disregard them."

In a Gen 4 would the stock connector with the NY 1 give a similar trigger?

About 8 oz. heavier than a Gen 3 due to the angle of the trigger housing.
To elaborate, clear chamber, show clear, close slide dry fire trigger to release striker. After that with connector spring trigger stays to read, with the NY-1 spring, what seems random to me to spring is 'pushing' trigger forward enough that the slide requires more force than otherwise to rack the slide. Btw I discovered this due dedicated dry fire sessions. I noticed I can either forcefully rack the slide( which I felt may damage something or slightly apply pressure to the trigger and once it was moved back enough I can rack the slide normally.
Now after seeing this during dry fire I decided to remove the NY-1 spring and NOT use it until I have researched it more. I hope I have my explaination it better and thanks for you thoughts.
Whenever you run the slide to chamber a round, you should retract it fully, then completely let it go. This allows the slide to return to battery using the full force of the RSA, which is best for reliable function.
You will not damage your Glock by forcefully racking the slide. On the other hand, touching the trigger during administrative handling greatly increases your chances of eventually firing a round unintentionally. Don't build that habit.

Roger that! Hence my question. Thanks!
I find the NY1 in a Gen4 with either a dot or - connector to be a pretty unshootable combination.
