This whole project has me thinking about how the Glock equivalent could be done. The major stumbling block is no decent aftermarket manual safety, and I don’t know that there’s a way around that. (Decent in this case meaning position and feel.)

Yeah I think you’d have a bunch of issues trying to turn a Glock into a 1911, but you can definitely turn the trigger into something more reminiscent of a good DAO trigger without sacrificing SCD functionality. A gunsmith fitted barrel, some grip work from Boresight, and either the LE only ACRO slide or a real deep aftermarket ACRO cut from a shop like ATEi would probably be the closest you could get to this particular project gun in a Glock.
Right.
The Glock trigger will always have more travel in it because it partially cocks the striker. You can tune the feel of a Glock trigger by putting a slightly reduced power striker spring in the gun and believe it or not that alone makes a significant difference in how it feels. Fully tricking it out with an Apex trigger, disconnector, and the reduced power striker spring goes a long way to getting rid of that staple-gun like break the Glock trigger tends to have from the factory.
I mainly have the safety on the M&P for reholstering...which you can accomplish with the SCD on the Glock.
It would not shock me at all to see an Apex barrel for the Glock in the relatively near future...

I am getting ready to do just that. I have a Boresight Solutions Duty series frame and I am getting ready to send the slide to ATEI for the ACRO P2 install. When the slide returns, I was thinking of sending it to Barsto for one of their match target fitted and fluted barrels. Probably going with the Overwatch Precision NP3 coated components with their Faux trigger shoe. I can’t get the M&P due to my state’s handgun roster.
With the newer M&P's are dead triggers a thing of the past?
