Timney Triggers has leveraged its history as the oldest and largest aftermarket trigger manufacturer in the world with a new budget-minded AR trigger: The Impact.
Responding to consumer requests, Timney developed its Impact trigger as an option that is uncompromising on quality but is priced right for any budget AR build. The Impact is the latest offering in the company’s People’s Choice lineup of trigger options.
The engineers at Timney devised a way to machine the parts for the Impact from billet steel without resorting to metal injection molding or stamped, old-school parts and assemble the triggers without breaking your budget. Despite the low price of $149.99, each Impact is still hand-tested by the trigger technicians at Timney to get you a crisp and 3 to 4 pound break and drop-in compatibility with all mil-spec ARs.
I have tried neither Timney nor Geissele triggers, but it’s nice to see this kind of competition.
I was talking recently to an active duty SpecOps guy about a build he was doing for someone I know, and I recommended a Geissele trigger (based on word of mouth recommendations).
He complained a bit about the fact that the military still uses the Colt guns with the 7+ pound trigger pull, including him.
If you save and spend your money on good equipment, you’re likely better equipped than the U.S. military.

Timney makes a good trigger.

Travis Haley got his start sewing to upgrade his issued equipment on the boat on the way to Iraq/AfPak. Others saw his work and asked him to make gear for them. And that eventually lead to Haley Strategic and making quality gear that meets the needs of soldiers and civilians.

Oh, and I have a Timney 2-stage AR trigger (2+2 lb) that I picked up on sale from DVOR along with a Timney 3lb trigger for my Remington 700 (replacing the dangerous stock trigger).
Both are excellent, crips, and smooth as glass.
