Is this a worthy upgrade? I know it was designed as a carry gun trigger. Does anyone have it installed on their carry gun and have you had any issues?

I asked that question a few months ago and got no answers.

I put one in a gen 2 19, it did shorten the trigger take up and breaks very cleanly, but the claims of resetting like a 1911 are very overrated.  



ETA



As to the question of whether it's worth it, that's subjective at best, to me yes it was a good upgrade and worth it.



On the flip side the 3.5 Ghost connector I put into a Gen 3 22 has a shorter reset than the Hailey, but not as short a take up or as clean a break.

I have it installed in my 19, 26, and 17L. I have also installed it in a friends 26 and my cousin's 26 and 19. So yeah, I think it is a worthwhile upgrade. It shortens the pretravel, and the reset and makes the trigger not feel as "stagey" and is more like one continual pull.  I don't mind the stock Glock trigger at all. If you like the stock trigger I think you will like the skimmer trigger more. If you don't like the stock Glock trigger, I don't think you will like the Skimmer Trigger.

I have one in my 19 and am very happy. Whether things are worth it or not kind of depends on the person, but personally I think its worth it. I'd buy one again. Sharn summed its feel up nicely. Feels like a much better stock trigger.

Worth it IMHO. I installed it with a polished ghost rocket  3.5 connector and I really like it a lot. Much better than stock.

Not worth it imo for a personal defense setup, but I have not shot one either.






I do prefer the 2 stage like Glock trigger so if you wanted a cleaner break/reset just install a new connector.

I've found that the safety issue was overblown, didn't apply, and that the trigger works just fine, same as it would under any other circumstance with a stock Glock trigger.

I found that the reduction in pre-travel gave ME less opportunity to fuck something up.  I shoot Glocks more accurately against a shot timer with the skimmer.  It certainly isn't a phenomenal trigger in the classic sense of what one would consider the best trigger, but it removes enough of the slop versus factory that now I have nobody to blame but myself if I throw a shot.

All safeties are still intact.

I have the skimmer in my 17, 19, and 26. Provides less input error by me and the travel is great.
