TriggerTech Certified Special Ace Trigger System for Glock

by

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

(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.

Range Rules

by

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.

Chassis Based Handgun-PCC Conversions

by

In the September/October issue of USPSA Magazine, a paragraph in my column noted that a certain type of “chassis conversion” of a handgun to a PCC wasn’t legal.  The USPSA Board of Directors disagreed with this decision, and I notified the competitors in question that their particular conversion was legal to use in the PCC division.  The article was written and submitted in advance of the discussion and subsequent decision by the board.  There was no ruling issued stating that they were illegal in PCC Division. I regret any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused.
