I ultimately decided to go with the factory trigger job. Best trigger on a Scorpion by far. Much reduced weight (over stock), Short let off and reset, very positive reset. The HBI trigger and springs give you a lighter, but MUCH longer pull and reset. I had no malfunctions and 100% ignition.
Customer service was great. I sent emails that were answered quickly. They quoted me 4-6 weeks and had it back to me in less than 3 weeks - how often does that happen in the gun industry? I just had to send in the lower - they installed their trigger, hammer, sear and springs. Sent me back the parts I had in there.
Expensive? Yes, ridiculously so - even Bill Geissele be like, “Damn, that’s a pricey trigger.”
Am I saying the HBI trigger sucks? Definitely not. It’s a quality light trigger; it’s just not what I was looking for. I’m damn picky about my triggers. Also, HBI customer service is stellar! I’ll continue to buy accessories and parts through them.
Am I glad I got the factory trigger job, despite the EXORBITANT price? I am because it gave me what I wanted and it is, without a doubt, the best a Scorpion trigger can be. I like shooting my Scorpion and would consider it for a SHTF situation.
Should you get this trigger? Depends - if triggers are really important to you and you really like shooting your Scorpion. For most, I’d probably say no.
