New Glock Timney Trigger

[JBP55]

The new Alpha Competition Series of triggers is Timney’s latest overnight success – 75 years in the making.

First in the Alpha Series line-up is a replacement trigger for the Glock Generation 3 and 4 pistols.

With a factory pull weight of 3 pounds, the Timney Alpha Competition trigger answers the long call for a trigger that has the same feel and performance that matches the reliability of the Glock system by providing an improved trigger design that does not sacrifice any part of the Glock reliability.

Keeping up with Timney’s honored commitment to listening to their customers, the trigger can be installed easily with no gunsmith needed.

Sounds good for a competition gun, but I know some bozos are going to put it in a carry gun.

If they shoot thousands of rounds in competition with said trigger, would it not be ideal to carry the same thing?

No.

Typically, triggers marketed specifically for Glocks used in competition will compromise some of the safety features. I'm skeptical of a company that claims a 3 lb trigger using factory parts. Since it's NP3 coated, it's no longer factory and they didn't disclose whatever modifications to the trigger bar and connector geometry that they made.

If you can install this trigger in a cutaway Glock and ensure it doesn't compromise the 3 safeties, then rock on.

Edit - The product photo proves that it's not "all stock Glock parts and springs." There is also an added "trigger return spring" that attaches to the trigger pin, which is not a factory part or design.

I see how it works and it's a pretty damn smart idea. And if there's enough pretravel to ensure the firing pin safety is not pre-engaged the other two safeties should also work.
But I don't see myself putting it on a carry gun... It defeats the KISS principle that is a Glock's strongest feature.

I found it very interesting that in all of the videos they talk about *reliability,* but never mention the three safeties. They also don’t really talk much about the trigger housing insert or the added spring on the trigger pin. It seems like their marketing is about the *positive reset,* which already happens with a factory Glock trigger.

At least it isn't designed to fire on the pull and the release!

LOL that would get spicy

 

[La26]

I would like to try one, but quite sure I would never put one in my EDC. Timney does make some nice triggers.

A wise man once told me when you purchase a Glock never change any of the internals of the gun. Outside of changing maybe the sights leave it how it comes. We love Glocks because they are reliable. Why mess with that? Not to mention I prefer Glock triggers now since I’ve been shooting them so long hell if I could I might just install Glock triggers in all of my handguns lol.

I have never gotten any negative feedback on any of the 100 plus Glocks I have worked on.
The problem is usually people that do not know what they are doing.

There isn’t a range that would have functioning cables if that was produced. It would have the alphabet bandits scrambling so that would be interesting.

There are a few drop in Glock triggers worth using, but there is only so much you can do before you compromise safety features. If someone harps on having a perfect trigger, tell them to buy a custom 2011, not a Glock.

I don’t doubt that I’ve heard some of the aftermarket parts are high quality however it’s just not for me personally. I’d rather not even risk it and invest the money in something more beneficial in my eyes

i know of 2 people that shot themselves with the sub 3 lbs triggers on glock.
First story was her husband was only wiping it.

and worked on films with two people that hit themselves with a 1911.

I Jogged in place and a lighter pull felt ok with the travel distance. But I’m curious how it would feel without it.

soo many factors, in accuracy. But we’re all responsible here.
so practice makes ready.

If they pulled the lighter trigger and shot themselves they probably would have shot themselves with an OEM trigger.
There are many pistols available with an OEM Trigger Pull Weight lighter than an OEM Glock.
I would like to see the trigger pull weights on the Glocks that were supposed to have a trigger pull of less than 3# which would be very rare.

 

[DAVE_M]

For anyone unfamiliar, this trigger essentially redesigns the Glock trigger system to work like an M&P.

The striker is preloaded and rests on the sear.

One guard ad’d and put out a false report, he was passing time buy upholstering and reholstering repeatedly, in and out, and the wound being straight down got him caught. But only after units mobilized looking for the *suspects*.

I agree with you. Cannot Fault A gun for negligence.
