Timney Triggers – Ruger American Gen 2 – Two-Stage Trigger
Purpose-Built for Precision
The factory Ruger American trigger has never been our favorite. After extensive testing—including Timney’s budget fixed 3-lb version—we can confidently say this Gen 2-specific two-stage trigger is a worthy upgrade. It offers a clean, adjustable break with enhanced shooter control. Whether you're chasing precision groups or just want a more refined experience behind the trigger, this is the upgrade we recommend.
