TriggerTech Certified Special Ace Trigger System for Glock

January 23, 2026 by Troy McManus

In a post last year, we identified some issues with the newly released Ace Trigger system, namely the lack of a functional trigger safety. NROI has worked with TriggerTech to correct any deficiencies, and they have released a new trigger system with an external safety lever that satisfies USPSA and SCSA rule requirements for primary safeties. The new model is called the “TriggerTech Certified Special Ace Trigger System for Glock”.

Go here for a statement from TriggerTech regarding the changes and the company’s policy regarding replacements.

The new trigger system is approved for USPSA and SCSA use in Glock firearms, as it meets the existing rule requirements for primary safeties.

Club Culture and You

December 18, 2025 by Troy McManus

(Be a Do Bee, Not a Don’t Bee)

As you may have noted, USPSA membership is growing and so is the number of affiliated clubs, both Steel Challenge and USPSA.  With growth comes growing pains, naturally, but there are a few things you as an experienced club member, range officer, club contact, match director, section coordinator or Area Director can do to help alleviate some of the common issues.  This will be especially necessary with the advent of “The USPSA Experience”, a web site dedicated to cleanly and simply introducing people to our sport.

You shouldn’t have eaten that burrito for breakfast, or had that third Venti dessert-a-chino, and now you’re struggling to concentrate on the stage in front of you. Where’s the nearest facility? In a slight panic, you notice one on the next bay, near the safe area. But, you have a gun on. What now?

Range Rules

July 31, 2025 by Troy McManus

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.

IPSC Range Officer Training

March 20, 2025 by Troy McManus

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.
