In light of the current social media buzz concerning certain firearms, the USPSA BOD and NROI have received numerous emails concerning prohibiting said firearms. Here’s the thing: If the range, not the USPSA or SCSA club, has its own policies or rules, the USPSA/SCSA club must comply with them, as long as the range and USPSA club are not the same entity, i.e., share the same administrative personnel. These range-specific rules cannot be enforced by USPSA or NROI certified range officials acting in their official capacity.

A new aftermarket replacement trigger on the market for Glock handguns has generated some questions recently. Let’s answer those so there’s no confusion.
I was first introduced to the TriggerTech Ace trigger at the IPSC Canada Nationals last year. At the time, I remarked to the representative demonstrating the trigger that it would not be legal in USPSA, as it does not replicate the trigger safety on the Glock handgun. There are many other aftermarket replacement triggers that do include the trigger safety lever, and all of those are legal replacements per the USPSA and SCSA rules. However, the trigger safety on Glock handguns is considered the primary safety: it’s external and can be tested for function. The TriggerTech Ace does not replicate that feature, instead, it shrouds the trigger with another trigger, in essence, and defeats the primary safety function of the lever safety. Therefore, it’s not legal as a replacement trigger in any USPSA or SCSA division.

We are currently working toward offering two IPSC RO seminars in 2025. Projected venues for these are Rio Salado in Phoenix, and Cardinal Shooting Center in Marengo, Ohio. An IPSC instructor will conduct these in order to give the RMI corps a better understanding of the differences in training and rules that we need to concentrate on.

Just a reminder about the USPSA Certified Ammunition Program, and what should be happening at matches where people are using certified ammo. Level II and III are where you’ll see it, but it can be used at Level I if there is a chrono station.

With the 2024 shooting season coming to a close, and the 2025 season not warming up yet (see, because it’s winter, and cold, “not warming up yet”), I thought it might be helpful in planning to publish some information on USPSA’s Certified Ammunition Program.
