New Timney Glock trigger

[naz]

Thank you @SkyHawk.

What I did was actually swap slides. The good Timney goes with the frame. So, am thinking it is NOT a striker issue?

Do you mean that if you change slides, the frame with your ?good timney? frame always has the same break characteristic regardless of the slide?

My GUESS is that you are experiencing a tolerance or variation in the timney trigger bars.

I had a timney where the trigger bar was too short to contact the sear so it did not push down the sear (got replaced). I could see an opposite case happening, where the trigger bar is a bit longer, and so it is hitting the connector earlier in the trigger shoe travel (I believe the ?wall? feeling comes from the trigger bar hitting the connector)

Perhaps you could contact timney with your concern and see if you have an out of spec trigger bar (too long) and try a replacement

And ditto on the need to take the gun apart periodically to make sure there?s no gunk stuck between the connector and trigger bar

I have an older Glock 19 with a minus connector. If I dig out the original connector, do you think the trigger will get heavier? I feel its a but light.

I have gen 5 coming and I have the Midway USA all black version for it too.

IIRC, the stock connector provides a good reset. The plus connectors provide a much more noticeable reset. Fancy competition connectors or minus connectors that decrease trigger pull weight typically provide a decreased reset feel.

You have to play around with different spring weights and connectors to get the trigger feel you like. Some like light rolling breaks, some like heavier crisp breaks, and everything in between. It's personal preference.

Correct

Copied on that... Now, the question is - which trigger is up to spec with Timney? Would my "good" one actually be the fluke?

I will check with Timney.

Yes, my experience is that with an ?unmarked? oem connector the press weight is heavier than ?minus? oem connector.

If you can get a ?dot? oem connector it supposedly provides an option that?s in between ?minus? and ?unmarked?.

I?m not really shooting Glock these days but if I did, I would look into np3 coated oem dot connector and np3 coated oem striker to try and get a more ?crisp? feeling break

Another option is bending the minus connector a bit outward (to the right towards the frame). It would make the press a bit heavier and make the reset feel slightly more positive (a few pages ago, I shared about this learning from when I installed timney into g20 gen 3 with oem unmarked connector.

I reinstalled the stock connector on my old Glock. Just like on my new gen 5, they Timney Alpha feels better and seems to reset shorter on the stock connector. YMMV.
