Tyrant Designs has come out with their own style Glock trigger system. They call it the I.T.T.S. trigger. ITTS stands for “Improved Tyrant Trigger System”. These triggers can be had for Gen 3-5 and 43,43x, and 48. The one I received was for a gen 3 Glock.
Tyrant Designs has their own unique style for designs. Most of their products have, what I would call, an arrow shape and/or deep angled cuts. The ITTS is no different. The trigger has a nice line to it. The rear of the trigger is also cut in, giving it a similar look to the other Tyrant designs.
When ordering one of the ITTS triggers, you have many options. First off, the trigger can be had in six different colors. I chose black. Part of the reason I chose black is the option of a gold trigger safety, which I chose also. The gold on the trigger safety, and the screws holding it in, are actually 24k gold plated. So they really stand out against the black anodized trigger. Tyrant doesn’t just use pins to hold the trigger shoe and safety on. They use threaded pins. A really nice touch that also makes it so much easier to change out the trigger.
The ITTS is not a complete trigger assembly. It is mainly a trigger shoe. For Gen 3 and 4 there is an option for a trigger bar. I opted for the trigger bar, but only used it for a short time because I then changed the trigger to a different pistol. The ITTS is a hybrid trigger shoe. What this means is it lands somewhere in the middle between a normal curved trigger and a flat faced trigger. In Tyrant’s case, the top half of the trigger is essentially flat. Then the bottom part has a curve to it. The curve lets me get a consistent finger placement on the trigger. Because of the hybrid design, Tyrant is able to make a longer trigger face, which can help those with larger fingers. The trigger safety extends out a little farther than a factory trigger and it is noticeably sharper. I can definitely feel it until I start to pull the trigger. Then it just kind of melts into the trigger.
So what is I.T.T.S.? Essentially it is a quicker resetting trigger. Tyrant adds in a 30% stronger trigger spring and possibly does some other magic. This gives the trigger a fast reset without changing the pull weight of the trigger. Mine stayed at 5.5 lbs, both before and after installing the trigger. Yes, you will definitely notice a quicker reset with the ITTS. The faster reset can make for a good EDC trigger.
As I mentioned earlier, I did install the trigger in two different guns. The first was a Polymer 80. In this pistol I used the trigger bar provided. It worked well in that pistol, but the finger reach was a little too far for me. The Tyrant ITTS trigger has a longer reach than the standard Glock trigger does. So I wouldn’t always press the trigger safety down. I proceeded to take the trigger off and install it in a Lone Wolf frame. These frames have a much smaller grip and therefore have a shorter trigger reach. It now lives in the Lone Wolf. Once I did that, I didn’t have any more problems with the trigger reach. So if you have larger hands, this might be a great trigger for you. The Lone Wolf is where I primarily used the trigger. I can’t really say that the quick reset made me shoot faster, but I did notice the quicker and very positive reset. The hybrid shoe felt good to me also.
Tyrant Designs ITTS trigger system is a little different than I was used to. Usually triggers try to reduce the pull weight, but not the Tyrant ITTS. It keeps it the same but increases the reset. That quick reset is actually pretty nice. The trigger face also has a nice shape to it. Go check out the Tyrant Designs ITTS trigger and see if it’s right for you.

Pretty good!
Initially I was a little worried as the trigger safety felt very sharp and very stiff. After about the 5th pull I really like feel and the look. I would recommend this to anyone.
