mine wouldn't reset properly, i had to pop it forward with my finger.

i've since sent it back for "a new Teflon nickel hammer and recalibrate it." 15 days later and no trigger and/or feedback of my trigger's status.

so i'm thinking mccormick...

No experience here with Timney, but I do have a second generation McCormick and a few Jards.  With several thousand rounds on the Jards, and only a couple of hundred on the McCormick I have had zero trigger problems.  I think all three are in the same general price range.

No experience with Timney, but I have 3k+ rounds on my second generation Chip McCormick 3lb single stage. I love it and have had 0 problems.

I have recently installed both a Timney and CMC. I have about 500 rounds working with the CMC and about 375 working with the Timney. Both are newer generation models. I use KNS pins on both triggers. The Timney has a bit less take up as in almost none. It is not a trigger you want to use if you are sloppy with trigger discipline. So far I think both are really good triggers. If I have an issue with either I will post the findings.

I have the 3 lb one. I have about 700 rounds through it. I have had one miss fire so far and I think it was a bad primer. No complaints here.

I have one of the 4 pounders in my M-4 and it is the best trigger I have.  I have RR 2 stage in a NM and a CMK in another.  I like them all but the Timney is really class.

I put a 3# Timney in my Bushmaster and it wouldn't reset when released, but would if trigger pulled a 2nd time and then released.  Polished the disconnector/hammer mating surfaces very lightly w/fine stone and put a dab of moly grease.  Problem solved.

I have the 3lb and I can 2nd that you dont need one of you are an amature.  

I myself am, and have to keep focus on trigger discipline.

That said, it really is a slick trigger and my groups are tighter.
