I have been thinking about getting one of the Timney triggers since I first heard about them, and your review and insight has my mind made up to get one for one of my competition pistols.

    It's going to pop and fizzle, then stick around. People have been begging for Glock innovation, but Glock's are successful due to their simplicity. Glock's simpler design, albeit not by much, is simpler. Glock thrives on simplicity. Glock's design is too cemented due to its simplicity for most people to get permanently excited enough over a "Better" trigger. The Timney trigger introduces new safety protocols that most will not be familiar with. I'll probably still buy one though. I do like to tinker.
    BTW, Johnny, your Combat trigger is nice, very nice. I should have bought your striker too. And, thanks for showing us how this trigger works. I was suspicious as to why Timney didn't explain how it works, being so innovative.

    So the Timney trigger does 3 things. 1) pulling the trigger no longer includes completing the rearward travel of the striker with compression of the firing pin spring. 2) replaces the stamped steel “sear” with what looks like a hardened steel sear. 3) adds a spring for trigger return since the striker no longer moves part way forward (as much?) as the slide returns to battery. 👏
    And kudos to Johnny for his through and excellent explanation of how it works!

      @josev1544 Před 3 lety

      if you are using your Glock for target or competition then you can tinker alot with it, but if its for defence the most i recommend you to do is to polish everything, lighten the plunger spring, and put in a minus trigger bar connector to smoothen the trigger. It improves accuracy very much without reducing safety. I once attempting to reduce trigger pull reduce the striker spring and increased the crucible spring and in the process affected the reset that it would not fully engage. When i tried to remove a live round from the chamber by racking the slide, the striker went off firing the bullet. Scared the hell out of me. Never did that again. Stay safe. Enjoy the sport.

    The funny thing is I used to set mine up like a 2 stage with a wall on the dot connector and heavy trigger spring and light firing pin safety spring. Now after shooting the s3g in my ar for years I now use factory trigger spring, factory firing pin spring and a ghost connector for the surprise break on rapid fire with no wall. I might even add a ny spring to be more of a combat trigger.

    Great detailed video. I would be very uncomfortable with a trigger where the sear is not attached to the cruciform and only held up by a spring which could get stuck in operation in even the cleanest gun with the smallest amount of dirt. To me this is -1 of the glock safeties - give me the shelf every day of the year.

    Does changing the connector make any difference? Not sure if the connector is still responsible for making the trigger bar push down on the transfer bar / sear or if there’s an incline in the transfer bar that makes the sear drop without the trigger bar needing to go down. Great video!

      Go buy some Mobil-1 synthetic grease. Then buy a quart of Mobil-1 synthetic oil. Get yourself some small pin nozzle bottles, and mix the two together until you get about the consistency of honey...and you have yourself the best gun lube on the planet....enough for literally years, for like $20 with AWESOME quality lube, which is made for very high operating temps(car engines)...and it will stay where you put it, and not migrate all over your guns. I have been using this for 15 years and literally nothing on the market is as good....at least not better, and you don’t pay $20 for an ounce of it. You can also use just the grease where you want actual, thick grease. You can basically mix it to how thick, or how thin you want it. Try it, you will be extremely happy you did. Best gun lube anywhere, and years worth for what you will pay for in an ounce of any ‘gun’ lube....

  • @christophermiller9467
    @christophermiller9467 Před 3 lety

    Do you think there is any benefit (reduction in pull weight) to having a lighter weight striker spring or lightened striker with this (Timney) trigger? Or would that create additional issues?

    • @leonardcianciotto547
      @leonardcianciotto547 Před 3 lety

      The striker spring has little bearing on the system. As a matter of fact, a lighter striker spring might make the pull less crisp (mushy and slightly creepy) and also cause light primer strikes. Think of snapping your fingers. If your fingers are pressed together hard, they snap loudly. If they are pressed together softly, they don't make much of a sound. That's what happens if you mess with the striker spring in this particular case. Similar things happen in a 1911 with a lighter mainspring. I would argue one of the benefits of this system is that you can leave the stock striker spring in and thus ensure reliable primer hits. Besides, how much lighter than 3 lbs. would you want to get anyway? Shoot safely.

  • @jackwicker
    @jackwicker Před 3 lety +3

    I feel like the new trigger return spring is introducing a fairly substantial failure point. IIRC, CZ DA/SA guns use a similar return spring, and they tend to break after 10,000-15,000 trigger pulls (dryfire included).

    • @USAUSAM82

    Great video, as always. I have a standard connector, a dot and a minus (all Glock stock). I'm curious, what impact the angle has on the feel or travel of the trigger. I wonder if the hump on the trigger bar and the different angles of the connectors cause the trigger to break more crisply or quickly, or if it matters at all. I'll report what I think, unless someone beats me to it.

    • @leonardcianciotto547
      @leonardcianciotto547 Před 3 lety

      Well, I've installed the trigger per the instructions and I'm having an issue. When I reset, it releases the striker a second time. So it fires when I pull the trigger and then it fires when I release the trigger. I put the factory trigger back in and that doesn't happen. I tried two different factory connectors and the same thing happened. Upon closer inspection with an armorer's back plate, I could witness what was going on. It appears the sear contacts the striker lug too low and it's disengaging when I release the trigger. Basically, there's not enough contact between those two surfaces. Also, it appears the upper edge of the sear is sloped in such a way that it's also contributing to the unintended disengagement. I'm contacting Timney for assistance.

      They sent me a new one. Great customer service. Not sure why the other one was acting up, but I'm guessing it's an anomaly.

    The hinge pin jelly is no longer available from Clenzoil, what do you use or recommend now?

    Just heading to range tonight with the trigger. I find out the reset has the same issue as showing in the video: it just been “caught” there and I need to push it to reset. Doesn’t know how to fix it but I’m guessing need some break in?
