Frequently Asked Questions
Which Gen 5 Glock models is this trigger compatible with?
The Timney Alpha Competition Trigger is designed to fit Gen 5 Glock pistols. This includes popular models such as the Glock 17, 19, 34, and other Gen 5 variants that share the same trigger housing configuration. It is not compatible with Gen 1–4 Glock frames. Always verify your specific model before purchasing.
Do I need a gunsmith to install the Timney Alpha trigger?
No gunsmith is required. The Timney Alpha is engineered as a drop-in upgrade that utilizes all of your existing stock Glock parts and springs. Most users with basic firearms knowledge and standard tools can complete the installation at home. Timney also provides installation resources to guide you through the process.
Will a 3 lb. trigger pull affect the safety of my Glock?
The Timney Alpha retains Glock's integrated trigger safety blade — now finished in a highly visible orange anodized color — ensuring the pistol will not fire unless the trigger is deliberately and fully pressed. The Teflon nickel-coated sear and trigger bar maintain consistent, safe reset characteristics, so you get a lighter, competition-grade pull without sacrificing the passive safety features Glock is known for.
