Production Trigger Pull

[D.Hayden]

USPSA doesn't have a minimum trigger pull weight? But IPSC does (#5)?

Does IDPA?

Any changes for 2004?

But working on the trigger (for USPSA) to make it as light as the Glocks (3.5#) isn't allowed? I had Langdon Tactical, work on my Beretta to bring it down to 8# DA - but 4# difference seems to be pretty significant.

The only rule I can find says: "Action work to enhance reliabilty (throating, trigger work, etc.) is allowed."

This question really is pandora's box. Here is an abreviated version of what I understand to be the rules

IPSC production:

Parts available from the factory ONLY.

No external modifications except sights.

Only internal modifications can be made by the Factory.

Only changes to factory parts can be polishing.

No removal of metal from any component allowed.

Replacement grips are OK if the profile the factory.

5lb trigger

USPSA production:

Parts available from the factory ONLY.

No EXTERNAL Modifications except sights

Internal Modifications to increase accuracy or enhance trigger are OK. This makes replacement of barrels and replacement of internal trigger components legal. (note that the trigger pad is NOT considered an internal part)

2oz change in factory weight allowed. Typically this means that tungsten guide rods or Haarts guide rods are OK.

Make your trigger as light as you want.

IPDA SSP

Trigger jobs are OK

Replacement trigger parts are OK

Replacement grips are OK

No External modifications except sights

No guide rods replaced with heavier versions.

No extended magazine release unless it COMES on YOUR model

No extended slide stop unless it COMES on YOUR model
