Frequently Asked Questions
Which specific Glock models is this trigger compatible with?
The Timney Alpha Competition Trigger is designed to fit Glock Gen 3 and Gen 4 pistols. This covers a wide range of popular models including the G17, G19, G22, G23, G26, G27, G34, and G35, among others. It is not intended for Gen 1, Gen 2, or Gen 5 frames. Always verify your specific model's generation before ordering to ensure proper fit.
Does installing this trigger void my Glock's warranty or require a gunsmith?
The Timney Alpha Competition Trigger is engineered as a true drop-in upgrade that uses all of your pistol's existing stock springs and components, making installation straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic firearm disassembly. No gunsmith is required. However, please note that this product is not manufactured, authorized, endorsed, or warranted by GLOCK, and installing aftermarket components may affect your factory warranty. When in doubt, consult a qualified gunsmith.
How does a 3 lb trigger pull compare to a stock Glock trigger?
A standard Glock trigger typically breaks between 5.5 and 6.5 lbs. The Timney Alpha's 3 lb pull is significantly lighter, resulting in less trigger force needed to fire — a major advantage in competitive shooting where split times and accuracy matter. The Teflon nickel coated sear and trigger bar also contribute to a smoother, more consistent feel compared to factory components, helping reduce trigger freeze and improving overall shot-to-shot consistency.
