Frequently Asked Questions
Which Glock models is the Timney Alpha Competition Trigger compatible with?
The Timney Alpha Competition Trigger is designed to fit Glock Gen 3 and Gen 4 pistols. It is compatible with a wide range of Glock models across those generations, including popular chamberings like 9mm, .40 S&W, and .357 SIG. Always confirm your specific Glock model and generation before purchasing. Note: This product is not manufactured, authorized, endorsed, or warranted by GLOCK.
Does installing this trigger require a gunsmith or special tools?
No — the Timney Alpha Competition Trigger is engineered as a drop-in replacement that uses all of your Glock's existing internal parts and springs. Most experienced pistol owners can complete the installation at home with basic tools and a field-strip of the firearm. However, if you are unfamiliar with your pistol's internals, having a qualified gunsmith perform the installation is always a safe and recommended option.
How does a 3 lb. pull weight compare to a stock Glock trigger?
A standard factory Glock trigger typically has a pull weight between 5 and 6 lbs. The Timney Alpha Competition Trigger's 3 lb. pull is significantly lighter, resulting in less trigger movement before break, a more consistent release, and faster follow-up shots. This makes it particularly well-suited for competition shooting sports like USPSA, IDPA, and Steel Challenge where trigger performance directly impacts stage times.
