Reviews & Ratings for Timney Triggers S&W M&P 1.0/2.0 Alpha Competition Pistol Trigger — 23 reviews — Page 1

The Trigger is A+ but the instructions don't cover all the details for all versions and my rating would be 5 if it was

I installed my Timmney trigger on a M&P40 Pro Series C.O.R.E. , the 1st gen with the optics cutout on the receiver.

Step 0: Recommend thoroughly clean receiver lube/grease moving parts before reassembly.

1.Sear: Do not swap out the sear on the the 1.0 Pro Series. The factory (PS) sear+trigger bar are matched up. If you do swap it you will immediately noticed the overtravel and pull weight just to get the sear the disengage.

2 Safety Plunger:You don't have to remove your rear iron sight on the 1.0 CORE version. Access to the plunger is in the optics cut out area. Remove your opitc and base (if installed) and with very small Allen owrench loosen the safety plunger cap.

The trigger/seer plate changed the weight/brake angle of my trigger. The little plunger that goes in the slide made it nice and smooth. It brakes at 90 degrees(eyeballing) fairly light, has a bit of over travel (I don't remember what the OEM had after brake). And I'm going to say shorter than OEM reset but it has a little travel and a nice fairlt light reset click noise.

I am new to the M&P line, and purchased a PERFORMANCE CENTER® M&P®9 M2.0 COMPETITOR last summer. The trigger was not horrible, and broke at 4lbs. 5oz. These are great guns and have very short resets on the striker and the trigger. At the time it was probably the best factory M&P trigger available. With the Timney kit installed this dropped to 3lbs. 8oz. I have not played with the trigger further but there may be some opportunities to further refine. The full aluminum trigger shoe makes for a nicer feel immediately, and removes any flex or friction from the plastic.

Took my S&W M&P 2.0 from 5.8 lbs to 3.3 lbs . Smooth trigger pull , good reset , quite a bit of over travel . I didn't exchange the plunger because I'd already installed a red dot sight and trigger pull was very good without exchanging the old one . Took longer to install than Apex but was almost as good and still uses factory parts which is a huge plus as far as reliability goes . Also quite a bit less money . I'm pleased with Timney trigger .

First things first. I hated the trigger on my M&P 40. The curve was so extreme I would actually get a blister on my finger when firing large volumes of rounds. I have been wanting to replace it for some time. The Tunney trigger looked promising and the price point was great. The installation instructions and video were easy to follow and after a couple of simple operator error set backs, the trigger dropped right in. Using snap caps everything seemed to function properly and the trigger pull was light, about 3 lbs, and crisp. Took it to the range and after becoming more comfortable with the light trigger pull, I was extremely pleased with the results. I will need more time to become comfortable with it, but I look forward to any excuse to spend more time at the range. Highly recommend this trigger for your M&P 40.

The Timney Trigger for my M&P 2.O 10mm has removed the feel of grit and now has a smooth clean trigger pull with a crisp break. The feel of the trigger on my finger is very smooth I like the material/polish they used and I would buy another Timney Trigger.

I have a S&W M&P9 that came originally with the curved/hinged trigger. I was looking to replace that with a flat trigger and was looking at the Apex and the Timney as my main choices. I liked that the Timney has the hinged safety instead of the blade style of safety. Knowing the reputation of quality Timney has, I decided on the Timney. I had replaced a trigger in another M&P9 with the Apex before and was happy with it, just not crazy about the blade style safety. So when I received the Timney kit, I installed it myself, as I did with the Apex previously on my other pistol. And the installation was very easy. I am very pleased with the Timney trigger. Very distinct break, reset and it reduces the pull, I don’t have a trigger pull gage, but I would guess it right at 3lbs as it claims. I took it to the range and I am very happy with the Timney, the break, the reset are perfect now, as for the pull, it was a little bit of a learning experience, as it is much lighter than original.
But now that I have shot it and got some more experience with it, it’s perfect. I would recommend this trigger for anyone who is looking to upgrade their original trigger and clean up the gritty, harder pull and especially it you like to work on your own guns, the install is very easy with the instructions and video that Timney has available.

After watching some YouTube videos the installation was easy. I have not been to the range after installation, but dry firing is nice. The Timney trigger was installed on a M&P 2.0 10mm, which now not gritty and has a very clean brake.

Have not had a chance to install new trigger, but after visually inspecting parts there are no flaws. Will update once installed.

Installed this in an 10mm optic ready M&P 2.0. Installation was super easy, and trigger is a huge improvement over the gritty stock trigger.

Unfortunately, it took forever to get it. I'm finding that orders from optic planet are slow to arrive.
