Description
The Tyrant CNC I.T.T.S. (Improved Tyrant Trigger System) is a CNC machined aluminum replacement for the factory polymer trigger shoe on Gen 5 and Gen 6 Glocks. It is a shoe-only part. Tyrant states plainly that it does not come with a trigger bar; the shoe attaches to your factory Gen 5 bar with stainless set screws, and the factory bar, trigger housing, connector and springs are reused. Thing to know before you order: the factory Gen 5 shoe is pinned to its bar. To fit this shoe you punch out those pins, and the factory shoe breaks off the bar for good. If you ever want the gun back to stock, you will need a new factory trigger assembly.
Tyrant describes it as the maximum take-up reduction it can offer without hurting reliability, paired with a reset spring it rates 30 percent stronger than the OEM spring for a faster, more defined reset. Tyrant does not put a percentage on the Gen 5 take-up change. Tyrant does not publish a pull weight, and it should not change much: this part replaces the shoe and spring, not the connector, and two independent reviews measured about the same pull before and after. The face is a hybrid shape, flat across the upper part with a curve at the bottom to index your finger, and it sits taller than the factory trigger, which Tyrant says suits larger hands. This one is the black anodized aluminum shoe with a black stainless steel safety blade and set screws. In the box: Tyrant trigger shoe, safety blade, reset spring, stainless set screws and an Allen wrench. Tyrant states all factory safeties are retained, including the trigger safety, which uses a thinner rectangular blade that sits flush with the face when pressed.
Fitment: Gen 5 and Gen 6 Glock 17, 17L, 19, 19X, 22, 23, 26, 27, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 (Tyrant’s list). It will not fit Gen 3 or Gen 4 frames, the Slimline G43, G43X and G48, or the G42. Tyrant does not name the G45 or the Gen 5 large-frame G20, G21, G40 and G41 on its list, so treat those as unconfirmed. Tyrant also says it cannot guarantee fit in every Polymer80 build.
Also in the Pro Shop: Timney Alpha for Gen 5, Timney Alpha for Gen 6, Apex Action Enhancement Kit for Gen 5, threaded barrels for Glock.

Who it’s for
Gen 5 Glock shooters in USPSA Carry Optics, Limited Optics, Production and Open, plus PCSL and Tactical Games, who want a metal shoe, a shorter take-up and a stronger reset while keeping the factory bar and connector.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you are not willing to destroy the factory Gen 5 shoe to install it, or if you want a lighter pull: Tyrant does not claim a pull weight change and the factory connector stays. For a lighter Gen 5 trigger, the Timney Alpha for Gen 5 is a complete drop-in unit, the Apex Action Enhancement kit for Gen 5 includes its own bar and connector, and the factory Glock Performance Trigger is another option. Gen 3 and Gen 4 owners need Tyrant’s Gen 3-4 version. Some reviewers found the thin safety blade sharp on the finger, and the taller face adds reach for smaller hands. A shorter take-up also changes how the trigger safety feels, so treat this as a range and competition part and check your agency rules before putting it on a duty or carry gun. Aftermarket triggers are legal in USPSA Carry Optics, Limited, Limited Optics and Open. USPSA Production also allows an aftermarket trigger under rule 21.6 and has no minimum pull weight, but read the current rulebook before you rely on that. IDPA SSP and CO require factory or listed replacement parts, so check the IDPA equipment rules. PCSL and Tactical Games have no trigger restrictions.
