Frequently Asked Questions
Will this trigger fit my specific Glock model?
The Timney Alpha Competition Trigger is designed to fit all Glock pistols chambered in Gen 3 and Gen 4 configurations. This includes popular models such as the G17, G19, G22, G23, G26, G27, G34, and G35, among others. If you're unsure whether your specific Glock variant is supported, confirm your generation before purchasing. Note that it is not compatible with Gen 5 Glocks or the Glock 42/43 single-stack series.
Is a gunsmith required to install this trigger?
No gunsmith is required. The Timney Alpha is engineered as a true drop-in replacement that works with all of your existing Glock internal parts and springs. Most owners with basic familiarity of Glock disassembly can complete the installation using standard tools. Timney's 76-year reputation is built on making precision triggers accessible to everyday shooters, and the Alpha is no exception.
How does a 3 lb. pull weight compare to the stock Glock trigger?
The standard Glock factory trigger typically breaks between 5.5 and 6 pounds, depending on the model. The Timney Alpha's 3 lb. pull is nearly half that weight, resulting in a significantly lighter, crisper break that reduces trigger-induced movement and improves split times in competitive shooting. For self-defense applications, we recommend consulting with a qualified firearms instructor to ensure a lighter trigger fits your training and use case.
