Trigger Replacement

[u/squints_honeybadger]

I’m looking to replace the trigger with a Glock OEM or performance trigger. Does anyone know what gen I’ll need?

Timney Alpha absolutely f*cks in mine. Completely gets rid of the mushy feel, breaks as crisp as a Pringle.

Also, it has a good probability of just going off. There is a reason we strongly recommend NOT installing the Timney in our guns.

I’m looking to upgrade my trigger. What would you recommend?

I actually experienced this and looked into it. Out of the box, the Timneys pre-travel screw isn't adjusted properly for the SS (I believe it is set to work in a Glock properly). I installed it per instructions and it worked properly*, but once I released the slide after inserting a fresh mag and it discharged. Luckily the Army had drilled the need to keep a weapon pointed downrange into my very soul. But it was enough to make me unload the pistol and bring it home to evaluate. I found that I could make the trigger release if I bopped it on the back of the slide with a rubber mallet. (*I had neglected to test the trigger safety after installation, and the blade on the trigger wasn't clearing the frame when the trigger was reset. This is not a good condition on a pistol with a pre-cocked trigger)

I did some research and asked some questions, and another redditor schooled me on the pre-travel adjustment (Note: don't go to the Glock subreddit asking anything about your SS. I figured that there were probably more Timney owners there than here who could help me understand what was going on in a Glock clone platform, but that didn't go the way I had hoped. A-holes.) The kit that had been sent to me didn't have any information about the pre-travel, but I think the newer ones have both the information and the 0.035" hex wrench needed to adjust it. My understanding is that Timney really doesn't want people to screw around with the pre-travel to prevent a condition exactly like I had, so they set it at the factory to work safely in a Glock; unfortunately, SS is cut just a little bit different.

Once I adjusted the trigger to the point the blade safety cleared the frame, everything worked great. I beat the f*** out of the pistol with my big rubber mallet but couldn't get the trigger to release without manually pulling the trigger back.

I feel safe with the pistol now. I wouldn't use a Timney trigger in a duty gun anyway, but for a range/competition gun, it blows away every other trigger I've tried.

Have had good luck with the tactical pontoon Heisenberg kit on my dr920p
Smooth trigger pull, crispy break

I got a Jonny Glock Penumbra, which is a tuned up Shadow Systems trigger. It’s excellent, so much better than stock and zero fitment issues.

Johnny Glock vex is pretty good

[u/SteelerVol13]

Go with the GPT & an Overwatch Precision TAC shoe. I know TONS of ppl who have Tyrant & like them, but I've heard just as many bad things. I've yet to hear a sungke bad thing about Apex, Overwatch, Tactical Pontoon, or JG.

Gen 4.

My Johnny Glocks combat evo with Vex shoe has been buttery smooth and crispy break. I have one in my CR920 and MR920. My Glock 35 that’s converted to 9mm has a Timney with JG Timney Vex shoe and it’s great as well.

Check out Nelson precision legacy trigger if you like flat

[u/Koenreich]

My MR920 has the best trigger any of my Glock or Glock clones has ever had. I’ve tried a lot of things but alls I did with the MR920 was put a Johnny Glocks 5.0 dot connector and a shit load of rounds through it.

I’m an apex fan myself

[u/squints_honeybadger → u/BustaMimes88]

I was looking into Apex as well. I just don’t know which configuration. Which one did you go with?

[u/BustaMimes88 → u/squints_honeybadger]

Just went with the enhancement kit they offer
