Effectively, the Skimmer is a minus connector, some polished parts, and a modification to the trigger bar that reduces pre-travel and severely reduces the effectiveness of the drop safety.

Their Guardian trigger is the same without the trigger bar mod.

In other words, getting a minus connector and polishing it all up will do most of what those do.  (Most, not all.)  Cost is about $135 less, however.

Don't get me wrong, though---I like glocktriggers.com.  I have two of their trigger assemblies---an Edge and a Vogel.  Quite frankly, the Vogel is a perfectly good carry trigger.  (The Edge is too, really.)  If using the Vogel for carry, and you think the trigger shouldn't be too light, you put the 5.0 firing pin spring in (which is almost  the standard weight of spring but coupled with the 3.5 connector, makes a significant difference to the pull weight) ---it stays completely reliable.

If you think that carry triggers can be light and that isn't an issue, you can put the 4.0 spring in it, and it'll feel REALLY different.  You'll want to check that for reliability with all primers it might need to set off----but chances are that it will also be completely reliable.

Quite frankly---if you haven't done anything to the gun yet, then buy a minus connector and install it, polish the trigger assembly, oil it correctly, and dryfire the heck out of it.  Total cost:  $15. 

After that, see if you need to do anything else.

I was looking at the Vogel first, that's when I found the skimmer what caught my eye was the carry title of the trigger and that it uses stock glock parts!  Thanks for all the great advise I really app your time!
