I have talked to Jeff several times via email and he has responded the same day or he next. If that isn't the number you have called try it.
Thank you. I will give him a call early next week.

I've got five Gen 3's: a 17, two 34's and two 35's. I installed the Timney Alpha in all of them and none have "sluggish" reset; all have the red spring and break crisply at sub two # (for $150 ea!!!).
If yours is "sluggish", you have done something wrong perhaps? There are plenty of postings here that deal with the issues (and solutions) that some have had. All of the postings are a good read and everyone here is most helpful.But there is expert help available if you are one of the few with a problem. Timney goes over and above with their most excellent customer service...there is no reason for anyone to be dissatisfied, just give them a call...but watch the install video on their website first.I have called several times and have sent an email. Still haven't received any response.

They sent me a new trigger bar last week. They said that they had gotten some that were out of spec. They said that the trigger bars were to long and were hitting the frame before the sear would be released. The new one they sent me works ok.
Ok as in its good or ok as in it works, but its only ok?

I emailed them 4-5 days ago with the same issue, no reply yet...must be very busy this time of year.
How about the new trigger shoe: https://timneytriggers.com/enhanced-trigger-shoe-for-glock/
I tried calling them this morning too, and got their message system that said to send an email.

Yes, I emailed their support, and they sent me out a new trigger. I rec'd and installed it a couple of days ago and it seems to work great. Haven't taken it out to the range yet.
Just emailed them. I will see what they say.

Well, I got my Timney in today and tried to install it in my Gen5 17 and I have the same problem as above. The trigger bar goes back until it hits the frame and then stops. If I apply additional pressure on the trigger, then the trigger bar will slide to the left a bit off that ledge on the frame and the sear will disengage the striker. This is a brand new Glock, and I don't trust myself with a dremel, so I emailed Timney support this morning, but haven't heard anything yet. I was really looking forward to getting this out to the range today.
Did you ever hear back from Timney? I just tried installing the Timney Trigger into my gen 5 34 and am having the same issue. The striker will not release.
-
Well, so far no luck. I had not heard back from Johnny Glock, so I called him. No answer, but he texted me and said that if my trigger isn't working its a problem with my gun. My gun is a brand new gen 5 glock 34. The only after market part of the gun is his trigger. He says he will call me later today....
UPDATE: he never called.
Definitely not the product or experience I have read about with Johnny Glock on here.
Looking at Glock talk it appears I am not the only one to have issues.

If give him a call, that doesn't sound right at all. Did you prep the frame, maybe its hanging up on something.
I emailed him. He sad he was going to get back to me with some ideas.
No prep, just a brand new stock glock 34.

I am using the 4.5 spring. I just checked the weight in a Lyman trigger pull gauge.
Johnny Glock competition trigger with 4.5 spring= 5 pound pull.
I am pretty disappointed to say the least.

What do you like about the Vogel trigger?
Lighter than stock, defined wall, very little over travel. Its nothing crazy compared to stock, but it was an improvement.
My main complaint about the Johnny Glock trigger is that it really isn't anything better than a stock trigger. There is less take up and less over travel, but it is heavy.
-
Just got a Johnny Glock trigger. Not sure what everyone is raving about. Very short take-up and overtravel, but the trigger is heavier than stock. This was after i sent the trigger back the first time because the trigger would not break. I contacted Johnny Glock and he said that the trigger not breaking sometimes happens with Gen 5 glocks.
I guess I will keep contacting him. I get it won't ever be super crisp, single action trigger, but i was expecting an improvement over a stock trigger.
I have another Glock 34 with a Vogel trigger in it. The Vogel trigger is leaps and bounds better.

Just tried the gun without a safety even in it and it did the same thing.
I also tried some of my other uppers. They don't seem to have the problem. I then took the bolts from the other uppers and put them in the 10.3 upper. The problem came back.
So as far as I can tell the trigger doesn't like the CMT billet upper.
-
Safety seems to work. I will see if it works eith a different safety.
-
The AR is nothing special. It's a 10.3 inch SBR with a Spikes tactical lower. Upper is a CMT tactical with a full mass Odin Works carrier. The rifle has had a Geissele and a trigger tech trigger in it. Both of them functioned without any issues.

I won an AR Gold Trigger off of the prize table at Gen III this past weekend. I installed it into one of my ARs and found something weird. When I dry fire the gun the and hold the trigger back and then rack the charging handle 1 of 2 things happens. If I slowly let the bolt down the trigger resets and seems to work normal.
If I release the charging handle or lock the bolt back and hit the bolt release the trigger does not reset and I have a dead trigger.
I have not had a chance to make it to the range to test it with live ammo yet, but it seems like I may have an issue if the trigger is not resetting.
Anyone else ever run into this issue?
-
I just bought this one. It should be here on Saturday. If you want to check it out just let me know.

From their FB page:
Good news and bad news. Bad news = All Melonite barrels will be discontinued for 2018! Grab them while we have them. Good news = We'll have a few new barrel models for 2018 that you will really, really like!
Can anyone speculate why they are d/c melonite?
I would guess because according to Mcgowen (who makes the barrel) they say that the melonite makes the smaller parts on the barrel like the barrel extension lugs weaker. I have had two barrel extensions on my stretch barrel have the lugs deform and cause issues.

I'm running the Taylor Freelance +10s and I've been very happy with them. I have a CZ Custom +20 and it binds up pretty frequently. It may be something I can sort out but since the Taylor mag extensions just work I haven't messed with it much.
I had the exact opposite experience. My Tf extension kept binding up and my CZC extension worked just fine. I filed down inside the magazine with the TF extension and it now works though.

In answer to triggers.......the std JP trigger if you install correctly is pretty much bullet proof and better than any hiperfire. I run hiperfire in my rifle......until I can swap it out for the JP. And yes.....seems like the hiperfire hits the 9mm firing pin a little hard.
What about using the lower power springs included with hiperfire trigger? Will not help with not damaging firing pins?

I am well aware that I really don't need the forward assist, but my upper has the forward assist button so I would like to keep it functional as long as it is there. Just me being wierd I guess.

I have multiple RCA lightweight and titanium carriers and they work without issue while retaining that function. I've been using them since 2013 and will be using them next year as well.
Have you ever worn out a titanium version?
-
I am looking to get a lightweight bolt carrier that has serrations for a forward assist. My rifle has a forward assist, so I would like to keep it functional as long as it is there.
From looking around I am thinking either the Faxon lightweight BCC or the Rubber City Armory titanium carrier.
Anyone have any input on these two BCGs or any others?

Thanks to the staff that ran the match. This was a great match and I really enjoyed it. The physical obstacles were great. The climbing wall, the rope, the tow straps on stage 4, they were all great. This was my second Blue Ridge the match was challenging and fun.
Just for some constructive feed back, stage 2 was very dissapointing, and I heard many complaints. It's fun to test accuracy, but paying the match fee and driving long distances just to shoot like a normal shooting line at home was pretty boring. Being shooter number 1 I also found that even with electronic muffs on it was very hard to hear the timer going off if there was any other shooting going on on stage 1.

Still no response from my email a week ago. Still no one answering their phone. Anyone else have any other ideas?
