slodell Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Hi this is my first post, I have an IDPA question that the rule book doesn't make clear from glockstore.com is the skeletonized striker IDPA legal? is this striker IDPA legal? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkguy Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 i am not positive for certain, perhaps a quick e-mail/call to the IDPA HQ is in order but i think you could argue it legal under the following stipulations. PERMITTED Modifications (Inclusive list):4. Internal action work may be used to enhance trigger pull as long as safety is maintained (no visible external modifications allowed). 6. Internal accuracy may be worked to include replacement of barrel with one of factory configuration and original caliber. IRL who is going to know for sure unless they strip your whole slide apart.

goodgraf Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 The divisions (ESP & SSP and others) are primarily setup to separate the different firing/safety mechanisms. However, SSP also adds no external modifications to keep things as stock as possible. If you are using a different firing pin, it does not change the firing/safety functions and is not externally visible so is legal according to rulebook. I know your post was more around externally visible mods...but the following trigger upgrade examples may help you in future. Here is are two examples to clarify how trigger mods impact division. 1. I recently purchased a G35 and installed a glocktriggers.com "Edge" kit. This kit is specifically approved by IDPA in the ESP division so I can not shoot this gun in SSP. Overtravel, pre-travel and reset are all reduced and overtravel is screw adjustable so is not approved for SSP. 2. I installed a Rocket 3.5 connector in my G23. Since I did not change anything related to the firing/safety function (e.g. pre-travel), nor is it immediately adjustable on the fly, it still falls into the SSP class. Hope this helps!

jailer252 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Legal, however I have never seen any SO disassemble a competitors gun at a match. I recently saw a major production video of a world class champion, if you look closely when he talks about his gun you can see a tiny hole drilled in his trigger pad (wonder what that hole was for ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Koski Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Sure, aftermarket strikers are internal parts and are legal to change in all divisions. Making a hole in a trigger is not legal in SSP. Edited July 19, 2012 by Steve Koski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckeller Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Legal, it is not a "visible, permanant modification". It even says in the book that internal modifications to trigger, action and reliability are ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
