Raz22582 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Looks like the shoe will correct a lot of the issues with the timney trigger. I have a lot of JG products and haven’t been let down yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raz22582 Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 Well the take up and reset suck compare to a Johnny Glock competition trigger that I originally had in the guns all 3 guns 17/34/45 gen 5 guns . The timney triggers worked never no failure. The new trigger shoe seems to eliminate the take up and reset issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigG Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I saw the video and ordered one this morning. The reduced take up and reset is certainly worth betting $100 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandflea316 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Got one ordered this morning. Very interested to see how it changes the Timney trigger. Sounds like it fixes the weak reset issue at the cost of a couple oz in pull weight. https://youtu.be/m2MVGkZlPyE Edited August 25, 2022 by sandflea316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrounger Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 What’s the benefit of using the JG shoe with the Timney trigger, vs just using the JG competition trigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandflea316 Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Lighter break and reliably lighting off hard primers. With conventional triggers kits you still need to use a lightened striker pin and spring to lighten the trigger pull weight and maybe being able to light off harder primers. The timney design gives you a lighter pull without the need to use a lightened striker and spring. I run a stock striker with a 6.5 lb striker spring and get a sub 2.5 lb trigger pull. I can reliably shoot small rifle primered ammo and steel case ammo all day. The Vex timney shoe will give the timney trigger a strong/shorter reset with shorter pre-travel.

Scrounger Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Thank you, that’s very helpful. I installed the timney on my 34 and like it. As you mention, the reset isn’t as positive as other triggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dapribek Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Hi, has anyone seen Johnny’s installation video for the trigger upgrade? I’m waiting to see it to be sure I’m capable of doing the replacement. Not too mechanically inclined! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad_Karma Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 In his last video he said they would start shipping on Monday and that he would have the installation video out before they shipped…so I’m guessing this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowdyb Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 How is this supposed to yield a better reset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinister4 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 6 minutes ago, rowdyb said: How is this supposed to yield a better reset? it appears to crank up the reset spring pressure by altering where the "shelf" the spring sits on it, as well as a little recess that catches the end of the spring. I also suspect they moved the pivot point very slightly, we will see when it gets here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HesedTech Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 2 hours ago, rowdyb said: How is this supposed to yield a better reset? JG changes the geometry of the trigger. Basically he slightly moves the pivot points to change the leverage and travel. That's the super secret sauce in making the travel shorter. The break comes from the Timney sear design. The spring notch keeps it, the spring, in place to make the pressure more consistent. It's what engineers do. Super secret magical design for us mortals.
