Timney Trigger Better Than Apex? G17:3

- Just my humble opinion on the new(ish) Timney Alpha Trigger installed in my Glock 17 - Gen 3.
Do I like it more than the previously installed Apex trigger? Do you?
thank you for showing us .
I 100% agree with you. I own both brands. M&P>Glock
My experience with the Timney trigger. My gunsmith installed it on my 2002 made Glock 26 gen 3. He had installed several, including 3 of his personal Glocks, and was a big fan of them. When I first dry fired it, I noticed the take-up seemed a little longer than stock, and a little gritty. You then came to a hard wall, and the break was sweet and beautiful, measured at 4lbs. The reset was short, but not as strong, and tactile as the stock gen 3 reset. Went to range, started to have problems after 50 rounds. Every 4th or 5th round the gun wouldn't reset. The scary thing was if you kept moving your finger around it would fire. We called Timney, and they said you need to bend the stock connector, as that is the fix for Timney reset problems. My gunsmith had a new gen 3 26 in store and compared it to mine, and noticed the locking block was a little different. When Timney heard that, they said take it out, we don't recommend it for that gun, even though it has the 3 pins that Timney initially said was OK to install. Went back to the stock trigger and couldn't be happier. Looking back, I was giving up one of the most reliable combat self-defense stock triggers ever, for a sweet candy ass trigger break.
That’s rough, man. I haven’t had any issues with mine yet with a couple thousand rounds through it. That being said, this is not a carry gun or nightstand gun by any means. My carry gun is bone stock aside from night sights. I truly don’t mind the stock Glock trigger at all. Absolutely hate the sights though. If reliability is the goal I always recommend keeping it stock. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
@@sellswords2318 Yes, my gunsmith that installed it has thousands of rounds through his Timney Alpha Trigger, and is a huge fan. I agree with you about sticking with stock triggers for carry/self/ home defense. I also put Trijicon HD Night/Fiber sights on my carry/home Glocks.
I got a lot of different triggers for the Glock not a fan of the apex and the Timney is okay but I got the Johnny Glocks vex shoe upgrade and return spring upgrade and the take up is so minimal with the vex shoe cause you can adjust it. I just got the performance trigger and for that I got the vex shoe upgrade also. Love it! There very similar triggers but I think the performance trigger has a slightly better reset, it’s quicker and stronger.
Maybe I’ll give that a try in the 17 and throw the Timney in one of my Daggers
Nice builds brother!!!
The Timney is a pre cocked striker setup and so is the Apex in the M&P. The Apex in the Glock isn’t a pre cocked striker so it will never feel the same.
Had the Timmy trigger on my Glock 45 witch was in stalled by my local gun smith. He recommended so got it but then I watch the reviews on it and my main concern was that there was a lot of talk about not being drop safe as well as light primer strikes witch I encounter a lot. I installed the new Glock performance trigger and haven’t had it in a while. Since you installed the Timmy trigger did you have any similar problems?
I haven’t had a single hiccup with the Timney system. As most install videos showed I did not adjust the system at all or you run the risk of disengaging the trigger safety. I left it exactly as it came from Timney but swapped to a minus connector.
@@sellswords2318 installing that connector did it make the trigger heavy? What was the purpose? A little new to the hole trigger game. So on my Timmy I will say if I shoot 500 rounds I will probably have like 6 light primer strikes. I thought about getting a new striker from the Glock store or probably getting advice from Johnny Glock costumer service but change it to the Glock performance witch happy cause it is drop safe and works almost as close as the Timmy trigger. Glad it work for you bro.
@@hartford85 The minus connector makes the trigger lighter, actually. I first went with the return spring they recommend if using a minus connector but after dry firing it a bit I realized the trigger reset wasn’t nearly as fast or pronounced so I went with the heavier return spring. Did you have previous modifications to the Glock in addition to the Timney trigger? A lighter firing pin spring, perhaps? That would likely cause light primer strikes. But no, I haven’t personally had any issues with this trigger.
Better than apex nope ow connector with a apex solid.
Yeah but does it take Glock mags?
yea….🤣
Any thoughts on savings and going with the performance trigger ?
I don't have any personal experience with the performance trigger. As @wessowell6616 mentioned in the comments because no other trigger system for Glock is a pre-cocked system none of them will feel as buttery soft as the Timney. So if you're going with a trigger I'd say grab the one with the trigger shoe that feels the best to you. Lightening the trigger will be mostly buffing and polishing all the parts that rub against each other and the angle of your connector as far as I understand.
