Lalo 13 Posted March 20, 2015 I've shot some IDPA, USPSA and Steel matches in the past and need to know what division adding the trigger and grip tape will put me under. Any thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronhonda 86 Posted March 20, 2015 If it is a aftermarket trigger like a apex, it will take you out of production in USPSA. Grip tape is allowed in production. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingsoverqueens 10 Posted March 20, 2015 The grip tape on the trigger guard and slide AND the light bump you up to open. Nice rig, by the way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lalo 13 Posted March 20, 2015 The grip tape on the trigger guard and slide AND the light bump you up to open. Nice rig, by the way. Thanks. Light gets removed for matches though. No grip on the slide, just the frame. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted March 20, 2015 USPSA you would probably be in Limited or Limited10. Scored as Minor since you're shooting 9mm. IDPA you would be in ESP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingsoverqueens 10 Posted March 20, 2015 Thanks. Light gets removed for matches though. No grip on the slide, just the frame. Correct, sorry. Losing the light means no automatic bump to open, but the grip tape around the trigger and on the frame bumps you from production. See appendix E4 from the USPSA rule book. http://www.uspsa.org/document_library/rules/2014/Feb%202014%20Handgun%20Rules.pdf So unless you remove the tape I believe you are still in open, and minor as Krdshrk points out.

There's no grip tape restrictions in Limited/Limited10. He could shoot those. The trigger change automatically bumped him out of Production. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingsoverqueens 10 Posted March 20, 2015 There is no change in trigger, at least not mentioned by the OP. He mentioned adding trigger tape. Ronhonda introduced the replaced trigger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is what the OP said "what division adding the trigger and grip tape will put me under". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,877 Posted March 20, 2015 He also mentioned changing the trigger in another thread that I remembered... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lalo 13 Posted March 20, 2015 Yes, stock trigger has been changed to an Apex, grip tape added where you see it including under the trigger guard. Sights were changed to night sights but I don't think that will affect the division the pistol qualifies for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronhonda 86 Posted March 20, 2015 Limited 10 or limited Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingsoverqueens 10 Posted March 20, 2015 ^^ wrong! This is what the OP said "what division adding the trigger and grip tape will put me under". Yeah, adding the trigger and grip tape. Look at the photo...there is tape on the trigger guard. : ) If he changed the trigger it would have or should have read "what division would I be in if I changed the trigger and added grip tape."

RichP 115 Posted March 20, 2015 If he changed the trigger it would have or should have read "what division would I be in if I changed the trigger and added grip tape." Regardless of what was said, that is not a stock trigger. For IDPA, it would move him into ESP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingsoverqueens 10 Posted March 20, 2015 Regardless of what was said, that is not a stock trigger. For IDPA, it would move him into ESP. How do I know that? I'm going on what the OP wrote, but I have no objection to bumping him where ever you'd like to. :thumbsup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
silverc6 0 Posted March 20, 2015 Yeah, adding the trigger and grip tape. Look at the photo...there is tape on the trigger guard. : ) Wow, you are very observant. There is grip tape on the trigger guard Again, adding the trigger means adding the trigger. Seems like everyone else got it that the OP added a trigger "AND" grip tape to the gun.
