 Fulcrum trigger vs. Phantom

Been staring at the Fulcrum trigger for a few days as well as the Phantom trigger from Rockyourglock. It would appear the Phantom is essentially a cheaper version of the Fulcrum judging by appearances, but maybe I'm missing something.

For the guys that own them and use them - is the fulcrum worth the pricetag? $250 for a whole kit including the skeletonized striker seems a bit spendy to me. But don't want to blow the coin on the Phantom only to figure out later that the Fulcrum is worth the extra $$$.

This will be going into a 3rd gen G34 if I wind up buying one of them. Just curious if people regret the purchase or if they're a worthwhile upgrade.

Thanks guys.

You may want to look into the Haley strategic skimmer trigger as well. It's a little cheaper ( I think) they seem to be getting good reviews.

I have the Fulcrum in 2 Glocks. Very nice. I like the wider trigger shoe and the smooth pull. I would pass on the skel striker. Not worth the extra in my opinion. I slicked up a stock one for the second Glock.

Thanks. Does the Phantom essentially look like the same thing at $50 less? It appears so to me but I have no basis for comparison Really just looking to get something that allows me to adjust the takeup and overtravel. I already have the Glock OEM - connector with the comp trigger spring and did the $0.25 trigger job, so I'm really just trying to adjust the pull at this point. Good to know about the skeletonized striker, so really it comes down to the ZEV trigger/bar at $150 or the Phantom at $99. Not really interested in the skimmer as they aren't adjustable and cost even more than the ZEV Tech ($160 if I recall).
