Here is a very well done video explaining how a Timney trigger works and show why it is not a good choice for anything other than a range use only gun. It is not drop safe to say the least. I definitely can't suggest anyone use it for a defensive pistol, especially for EDC. I was kind of leery of using the new Timney trigger for anything except a pistol used solely at the range due to how it works.

I dont know if they are better now, but seen lots of issues with Timney in a glock. From no resets to firing on reset.

No different than a standard Glock as they use the same connector. If the connector does not have the proper engagement, that will happen on any Glock.

A good solution to any issues and it also solves the light strike issues in some Timney’s is to modify an OE Glock trigger bar and cut the front spring perch off, smooth the cut, and polish the cut area. A standard Glock trigger has a relief for the firing pin while the standard Timney bar does not. What happens is the striker lug will drag on that section and slow it down. You can make a relief on a standard Timney bar and accomplish the same trick but using a Glock bar has an added benefit as it will drop the sear faster because the bottom of the bar will still have a part that is lower, where the spring perch would start to go down, and that bump forces the Timney sear down more quickly so you have an even faster trigger.

I just like how the Glock style trigger housing works. I do have a Vex and trigger bar with standard springs. I like the factory safety parameters. I’m not a competition shooter and wanted a flat trigger. I feel the factory pull weight is actually too light so went with a plain connector. Again, the factory housing remains and drop shelf and firing pin safety confirmed.

I’ve watched ton of videos. Have a buddy that was a PD armorer. It’s real scary thinking of people throwing parts at a Glock and not know how to confirm the safeties. That’s one reason I have the desire to leave all Glock safeties as factory. I know with my Vex and bar you could lose the FP safety real easy.
I’ve really enjoyed my Sar 9s as they are Glock clones. Every safety in them has less free travel to disengage each safety. Out of the box they’re more “on the edge” than Glocks. They’ve already done the mods. Out of the box the bar is near the firing pin safety as my Vex is.
I’ll not do ANY mods to them, nor do they need it in my useless opinion. Lolol

What are you getting in commission for every SAR9 sold? :oops::ROFLMAO:

I just recently got a Tisas PX9 - wow... the trigger is the best I have felt in any striker I've owned. (I'm not making any commission).
