Timney Alpha Competition Trigger — Glock Gen 6
The Timney Alpha Competition Trigger for Glock Generation 6 is the first premium drop-in trigger cassette built specifically for the new Gen 6 architecture. Engineered for dynamic sport shooting (USPSA Carry Optics, Limited Optics, Steel Challenge, IPSC), it delivers a crisp 3 lb (~1.36 kg) break while preserving the legendary Glock reliability.
A trigger built for performance
Unlike a simple shoe replacement, the Alpha Competition is a full drop-in cassette featuring a straight red-anodized aluminum trigger shoe, an integrated safety blade, and a trigger bar and sear coated in Teflon Nickel (NP3). This near-friction-free coating provides an exceptionally smooth feel and a short reset, while eliminating the gritty pull characteristic of stock Glock triggers.
