Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main advantage of the Timney Trigger for Glock pistols?

The primary advantage of the Timney Trigger for Glock is its ability to achieve a significantly lighter and crisper trigger pull while still allowing the use of the factory striker spring. This combination ensures reliable ignition with various ammunition types, preventing light primer strikes often associated with extremely light aftermarket triggers.

How does the Timney Trigger improve Glock reliability with ammunition?

The Timney Trigger allows for the use of the factory striker spring, which provides sufficient force for reliable primer ignition. This is crucial when using ammunition with harder primers or in adverse conditions, preventing misfires that can occur with aftermarket triggers that require lighter springs and may not have enough 'punch'.

What is the recommended method for measuring Glock trigger pull weight?

To accurately measure Glock trigger pull weight, use a trigger pull gauge positioned directly above the magazine release button, aligned with the cross pin. Pull the trigger straight back from this point. Avoid pulling downwards from the bottom of the trigger guard, as this yields an unrealistic, lighter reading.

What kind of trigger pull weight can be expected with a Timney Trigger on a Glock?

When properly installed and measured using the recommended technique (pulling straight back from the middle of the trigger, aligned with the cross pin), a Timney Trigger can result in pull weights as low as just under 2 pounds. This is a substantial improvement over stock Glock triggers, which typically measure around 7 pounds.
