Timney Triggers

Timney builds in the USA and states every trigger is hand assembled, calibrated, and test fired for its platform. The firm also holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, which signals a mature quality system. Timney highlights smooth break characteristics, coated components like NP3 on certain models, and documented endurance testing such as 10,000 rounds on the Alpha Glock trigger with zero malfunctions. 

A subset of users report weak reset or occasional light strikes on Glock Alpha setups, often tied to installation or spring balance. Older AR single stage units at very light pull weights can show sensitivity to hard primers. Compatibility notes also matter. For example, the Impact AR is not for AR-10 or 7.62×39 builds. 

Timney’s Impact AR series often lists at 134.99 dollars, which sits head to head with TriggerTech Duty. That gives shoppers a crisp, proven cassette trigger at an approachable price. Geissele’s flagship two stage options run closer to 245 dollars. LaRue’s MBT-2S is a strong two stage value that sometimes dips under 100 dollars during sales. 

If you want a premium single stage AR feel without boutique pricing, Impact AR offers that slot. For the absolute lowest spend on a two stage, LaRue can still win on dollars. 

Timney is among the oldest aftermarket trigger brands and is an industry leader with decades of OEM work. Recoil and company materials document the long history and growth from a small shop to a major player. The firm promotes a “World’s Finest Triggers” identity and maintains visible community outreach. 

The company is not BBB accredited, which is common for many niche manufacturers and does not reflect product quality by itself. Overall standing among enthusiasts remains strong, with regular comparisons to Geissele and TriggerTech in user discussions.
