Installing the Timney Alpha GLOCK Gen 5 Trigger

March 16, 2021

GLOCK's Team Captain, Shane Coley, shows how easy it is to install the new Alpha Competition Series GLOCK Gen 5 trigger from Timney Triggers. Introduced earlier this year for Gen 3/4 models, the Alpha Competition trigger is an easy upgrade for your competition or self-defense pistol.

How to Install the Timney Alpha Trigger in a GLOCK Gen 5

In this step-by-step video, we walk through the full installation of the Timney Alpha trigger in a GLOCK Gen 5 pistol. The Timney Alpha is one of the most popular aftermarket GLOCK triggers on the market, and for good reason — it delivers a clean, crisp break at approximately 3 lbs. with a short, tactile reset that dramatically improves the shooting experience over the factory trigger.

The installation process requires no permanent modification to your GLOCK. You'll need a GLOCK armorer's punch set and about 15-20 minutes. The video covers removing the factory trigger assembly, installing the Timney Alpha housing, and verifying function with a full safety check before heading to the range.

If you're looking to improve the trigger on your carry or competition GLOCK without sending the slide out for custom work, the Timney Alpha is a straightforward upgrade that most shooters can complete at home. Watch the full walkthrough above and see the difference it makes on the range.
