Timney Alpha Competition Trigger for Glock Gen 3, 4, and 5

Timney Alpha Competition Trigger for Glock Gen 3, 4, and 5

I got my start in the gun industry doing Glock trigger jobs in the late ’90s. I had a version that broke under 2 pounds using modified stock parts – except the firing pins spring. I have done over 1000 trigger jobs since then. They are now all more or less obsolete thanks to Timney.

Apex Performance for your S&W M&P9

Apex Performance for your S&W M&P9

While it’s not a perfect, crisp as a Pringle 1911 trigger, it’s close. Very close. For a striker-fired pistol, it’s extraordinarily good. The flat face took me a few rounds to get used to, but when I allowed my finger to rest naturally on the trigger, migrating toward the lower end of the shoe as intended with the resulting increase in leverage, I grew to like it. For the final analysis, I applied the Lyman trigger gauge once more.

Trigger Tech: Are Light Triggers Safe & Heavy Triggers Deadly? Clay’s Take.

Trigger Tech: Are Light Triggers Safe & Heavy Triggers Deadly? Clay’s Take.

The idea of forcing a firearm to have a heavy trigger clearly is the brainchild of lawyers. This from the same no-talent ass clowns that made an industry of medical malpractice and can debate for hours “What the definition of is, is” directly related to perjury. Yes, I’m looking at you William Jefferson. Anyway, my belief is that only a complete moron would think a trigger that is harder to pull makes anyone safer. Also, coffee tends to be served hot. You’re welcome.

Clay: Why Mil-Spec AR Triggers Suck, And How To Fix ’Em

Clay: Why Mil-Spec AR Triggers Suck, And How To Fix ’Em

For my money, the only two parts of the gun that actually matter are the barrel and the trigger. (Optics, I consider to be a completely different discussion.) The barrel is the only part that really actually matters for accuracy, and the trigger is the most important part for how you interface with that barrel.
