Modify or stock?
OnTheFly:
I don't know how a good attorney could not defend a reasonable modification on a firearm to make it more reliable and more accurate. The reason for a better trigger is so that you have better control of where the bullets go. You want to hit the aggressor, NOT anything/anyone else. They should bring up the NYPD shootout on the sidewalk where the police were throwing lead and hitting innocents in part due to their New York triggers.
A GOOD attorney would pound those facts home so that even a non-gun person would understand why improving the trigger is the responsible thing to do.

At first I was eyeing the fulcrum trigger and the pyramid trigger! Then I found the glocktriggers.com Travis Haley! It claimed to be a carry trigger but you could shoot well with it! I was really considering this trigger. I'm not bad with the stock trigger I just wanted a smoother trigger because I use it for target shooting. Ive always been skeptical about after market triggers and if they would effect the safety of the Glock! That's why I haven't done it yet! I do practice a lot dry firing but I just wanted a little better trigger! Thanks for the great advise but I have to ask why not to buy the skimmer!

The Skimmer does a good job of eliminating the drop safety. As such, I don't recommend it in any way.
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.
