Bergtheim, 03.02.2021 - New Glock trigger for the anniversary - Timney is celebrating 75 years and the Alpha competition series
Timney Triggers is celebrating its 75th anniversary with the introduction of a new line of triggers called the Timney Alpha Competition. As the oldest and largest trigger manufacturer in the world, Timney has firmly established itself in the aftermarket and is opening a new chapter with the Alpha Competition Series.
The first trigger of the series comes on the market for the Glock generations 3 and 4 and thus revolutionizes the trigger of the proven pistol in the world. Timney is responding to a decades-long request from his loyal customers who wanted a trigger for the Glock that combines the reliability of the Glock system with the trigger feel of a racegun. A trigger like a 1911 pistol for the Glock - is that even possible?
Due to the design, such a Glock trigger was not feasible in the past. Enthusiastic Glock shooters know the creeping trigger properties of the legendary Austrian service handgun only too well. The standard trigger has to pull the firing pin back a little before each shot, which leads to a spongy break and a creeping trigger characteristic. Many manufacturers of replacement releases have tried in the past to minimize these disadvantages by using friction-reducing coatings, connectors or by polishing parts. Timney, on the other hand, uses the experience of 75 successful years in the market and creates a revolutionary solution.
With a newly designed receiver unit in the trigger housing, the Timney Alpha Competition trigger keeps the Glock's firing pin fully cocked, allowing a clean 3 pound brak without creep when the shot is fired. In combination with the shortened take up, the newly developed trigger return spring, and the straight trigger made from anodized aluminum, Timney has created a trigger with real matching properties. Shane Coley, multiple US Champion and Team Glock Captain, was directly involved in the development. Competition shooters in particular will be enthusiastic about the new Timney Alpha Competition trigger, but also sport shooters who were previously not convinced by the Glock standard trigger.
Another important point: The safety of the trigger and firing pin of the Glock is not affected by the new trigger. The safety and reliability of the weapon is still given, which is a decisive criterion for Glock owners. Timney states that in the course of development a 10,000-round endurance test was passed with zero malfunctions. Since almost all parts of the new trigger are made from original Glock nickel Teflon-coated parts, this is by no means surprising.
All that is required to install the new Alpha Competition trigger is a Glock tool or a punch. Installation is literally "drop-in" and straightforward.
The first Alpha Series fits into the following Glock standard models:
GEN 3: G17, G17L, G19, G22, G24, G23, G34, G35
GEN 4: G17, G19, G22, G23, G34, G35
Ferkinghoff International offers the new trigger for 199.95 EUR. Other models in the Alpha Series, such as the Glock GEN 5 will follow.
For 75 years now, Timney Triggers prides itself on ensuring that every trigger is hand-assembled, tested, and calibrated before it leaves the Arizona factory. Made in the USA.
