    Haley Skimmer trigger for Glocks?

    Just came across this tonight. Thought it might be worth a posting to see if anyone's tried any early models and what the opinions are? It's evidently something Travis Haley's involved with.

    I've never been one to try to "Make a Glock into a 1911" but I do like a nice trigger.

    I am curious about the included spring's weights, but aside from their "unique pre-travel reduction modification" I'm not really seeing anything to justify the price over picking up a minus connector and taking the 10-20 minutes to do the polishing and saving $125 or so.

    Yeah that's kinda the road I was going down reading it. But I wasn't sure if I was missing something or not.

    So they just polish Glock factory parts? I'd like to try one before I make any judgement but if that's the case then they might be asking a little much. The term "polished to a chrome finish" sounds technically inaccurate.

    I get the sneaking suspicion this is for Travis Haley's undying legion of fans who absolutely must have exactly what he has.

    I don't see how any minus connector could ever be compared to a 1911 trigger. I like them, but the rolling break they produce is nothing like any 1911 I have ever shot. The angle on a - connector which creates the lighter pull has to reduce the crispness if the break.

    This could be the best glock trigger ever but calling it 1911 like seems misleading.

    M4Guru commented on another thread about shooting a modded Glock trigger system from Glocktriggers. I can't remember where it was or which it was. I personally smooth out my triggers by shooting them. Caveat..I have not used this trigger but I do not honestly see where this trigger replacement does anything except empty your wallet. For the price of 2 of these, you can almost buy another Glock.

    A Glock trigger is a Glock trigger, it has it's own characteristics that that found on that trigger only. Almost every aftermarket Glock trigger manufacturer has a trigger that they state is "1911-like". It will never happen unless you take the trigger group from a 1911 and squeeze it into a Glock frame. I have 'The Edge' trigger from Glocktriggers.com in my 17 for USPSA and it's a nice trigger but it's nice trigger for a Glock and that's not a bad thing. If you want a 1911 trigger, shoot a 1911...

    Might be ok at half that price....
    figure ~40 bucks worth of parts... another 40 for the polishing would still be steep, but worth it to some. 160? ouch.
