The Timney Alpha Competition Trigger transforms Glock Gen3-4 pistols chambered in 45 ACP and 10mm Auto with a precision-engineered drop-in upgrade that delivers consistent break characteristics and enhanced control. This red anodized straight trigger assembly reduces pull weight while maintaining the reliability Glock pistols are known for.
What Makes This Different
Unlike factory Glock triggers that exhibit creep and inconsistent break points, the Timney Alpha Competition features a crisp, clean break with minimal overtravel. The trigger incorporates a pre-travel adjustment screw and overtravel stop, allowing shooters to fine-tune the trigger to their exact preferences. Pull weight typically measures between 3.5-4.5 pounds, significantly lighter than the standard 5.5-pound factory trigger while maintaining safe operation.
Key Features
- Drop-in installation requiring no permanent modifications to the pistol frame
- Red anodized aluminum trigger shoe with straight face design for consistent finger placement
- Adjustable pre-travel and overtravel stops for customized trigger feel
- Compatible with Glock Gen3 and Gen4 pistols in 45 ACP and 10mm Auto calibers
- Machined from aircraft-grade aluminum with hardened steel internals
- Maintains all factory safety mechanisms including trigger safety and drop safety
- Professional gunsmith installation recommended for optimal performance
Competitive shooters benefit from the consistent trigger break that enables faster split times and improved accuracy during rapid-fire stages. The reduced pull weight and crisp break point allow for more precise trigger control in both USPSA and IDPA competition scenarios. Law enforcement and civilian users appreciate the enhanced trigger characteristics for defensive applications where precise shot placement is critical.
