Visiting the largest (and oldest) after-market trigger maker in the country

Posted on by Leave a comment

If you’ve never tried an aftermarket trigger in your favorite rifle, shotgun, or handgun, you’re missing out on one of the best upgrades you can make to your favorite firearm.

Since Harry Truman was in office, Timney Triggers has been producing easy-to-install, single-stage triggers for shooting enthusiasts. At first, the company focused on bolt action rifles, but it currently offers more than 170 models of triggers for all types of rifles, shotguns, and handguns. The company employs 65 employees in their home in Phoenix, Arizona. Today, Timney is the oldest and largest trigger company in the country.

Timney Triggers has been building the world’s finest triggers since 1946 and they recently opened their doors to me and my crew from Guns.com for a factory tour.
