The American company Timney Triggers also enjoys an excellent reputation in Europe. It offers high-quality interchangeable triggers that enhance the firearms of sport shooters, hunters and law enforcement users alike. Together with importer Ferkinghoff International, Timney is now bringing the new UBK to Europe. The complete conversion kit is specially designed for the original trigger unit of GLOCK pistols.
Timney has already had a match trigger for the GLOCK on the market since 2021 with the "Alpha Competition Trigger" (we reported on this in a company portrait at the time). This converts the original, partially pre-cocked GLOCK trigger system into a fully cocked single-action trigger system, which, according to the manufacturer, offers unrivalled trigger quality. Timney now goes one step further and presents the "Ultimate Builder's Kit", a complete retrofit kit for the GLOCK, the legend among polymer pistols.
Timney Triggers' Ultimate Builder's Kit (UBK) for GLOCK pistols in 9mm and .40 S&W – technical details
The UBK contains a trigger with a red anodised, straight aluminium blade. This is designed to be perpendicular to the center line when the shot is released, thus ensuring precise triggering. The set also includes the striker and spring. Timney has matched the geometry of both parts to the trigger sear. The striker and connector are made of heat-treated, corrosion-resistant steel and have an NP3 surface coating. This is a Teflon nickel-based coating designed to reduce friction and improve cleaning and maintenance properties.
The special advantage of the kit: all parts of the trigger now come from Timney Triggers. This means that all elements are ideally matched to each other, which is not necessarily the case with a combination of original and tuning parts. According to the manufacturer, a trigger pullweight of around 1,130 to 1,360 grams with clear characteristics can be achieved with the UBK.
Timney Triggers UBK: compatibility, prices and availability through Ferkinghoff International
Ferkinghoff International offers the Ultimate Builder's Kit (UBK) for GLOCK 5th generation pistols in 9mm Luger and .40 S&W calibers. The kit is also compatible with the G44 rimfire model. The price for this kit is 321 euros.
The UBK is also available for GLOCK pistols of generations 3 and 4 at a price of 339 euros. For shooters who already own an Alpha Competition trigger, the kit is also available without trigger as an option.
