My main question is, how much pre-travel was adjusted out with the screw, if at all? One thing I'd be curious to see is if the SCD is still leveraged at rest if the pre-travel screw is backed off as much as possible. Also, what connector are you using?Originally Posted by backtrail540
As it came from the package. Though since it was won in a karma, it certainly could have been adjusted previously. I'll mess around with it today and see what kind of adjustability i can get from it.
Stock connector/ internals.

Never adjusted, as it came out of the box.
Where the screw was set. I removed it completely to get a sense of the absolute difference. Here's where it is with no screw.

Pre travel screw removed. With the striker fully tensioned/cocked, the scd doesn't do anything. Pressure won't stop it from dropping etc... just there for illustration purposes at that point.

Oh, good point. I keep forgetting this trigger converts the gun to a full tension striker. So it makes total sense that an SCD would already be activated and basically pointless in this case.

An otherwise very squared away military operator had a G5 Glock with a Timney trigger at today’s USPSA match. It failed to reset about 3 times per stage. He placed fairly well, considering.

My Timney didn’t make it to a match, because of a similar experience. Loved it until it didn’t work. I just heard, unlike most Glock triggers, the Timney requires special lubrication. We will see, I am skeptical.

I think I will finally get the timney gun out to the range tomorrow, if for no other reason than to form an opionion and be able to return the gun to the stock trigger for swapping purposes. Thanks for the reminder that it was in there!

Today, based on what I know, there is no way I would rely on it for defense.I think I will finally get the timney gun out to the range tomorrow, if for no other reason than to form an opionion and be able to return the gun to the stock trigger for swapping purposes.
