TIMNEY ANNOUNCES EXPANSION OF NEW COMPETITION HANDGUN SERIES TO INCLUDE SMITH & WESSON M&P

Phoenix, Arizona (January 24, 2022)

Timney Triggers, the oldest and largest trigger manufacturer in the world, also the leader of the aftermarket and OEM trigger industry, announced today their next chapter for the 76-year-old iconic brand – The Timney Alpha Competition Series of triggers for Smith & Wesson M&P pistols. 

Timney introduced a “Gamechanger” last year to the handgun trigger world – the Alpha Competition Series for the Glock Gen 3, 4 and Gen 5 pistols.  The trigger was received with a massive, positive response and Timney was asked to bring another competition replacement trigger for the very popular, Smith & Wesson M&P pistol to the market.  You asked, Timney listened.

With a factory set pull weight of 3 pounds for the M&P 2.0, and a slightly higher pull weight for original M&P models, the Timney Alpha Competition Series trigger for the S&W M&P delivers a crisp, clean break. The Timney Alpha Competition trigger answers the call for a trigger that matches the reliability of the S&W system, while maintaining the feel and performance of a Timney Trigger.

Keeping up with Timney’s honored commitment to listening to their customers, the trigger can be installed easily, with no gunsmith needed. With an MSRP of $164.99, Timney delivers at very competitive price point.

The Timney Alpha Competition Series for S&W M&P is backed by the legendary Timney No Hassle, Lifetime Warranty, and is being originally offered in a straight trigger shoe model.

The new Alpha Competition Series of triggers is Timney’s latest overnight success – 76 years in the making.
