APEX Trigger Legal in IPSC

[zoomage]

I found out today that the APEX Flat Trigger kit is legal in USPSA Production today (see URL below). Does this mean it's legal in IPSC as well? I'd love to replace the trigger in my M&P Pro Core with an APEX Flat Trig

I doubt it, but Im gonna check back later to confirm. Would make the M&P a top choice for production div. if the apex trigger is ok...

You could use it in Standard Div but not Production.

The Flat Apex and Competition spring kit takes my Performance Series M&P 9 down to 1.9 lbs.
I love it

For Production, first shot needs a 5lb trigger pull so not legal in that division...Standard or Open you’d be ok.


Edit: sorry, already answered.

ahhhh good thing that I stumbled across to this thread. I was about to spend $279 for Apex tactical trigger kit on my M&P 9mm. I compete in production division as well. That would have created problems for me.

Easy solution.

Get an M&P in .40 caliber, and shoot it in Standard Division.

If I install the apex trigger, it will just move me to standard division. I can still shoot 9mm.

" I can still shoot 9mm "

Yes you can. But most people wouldn't want to.

You would be shooting against mostly Major calibers in standard. Not saying you can’t still be competitive but it does put you at a disadvantage.

If you're an accurate shooter, shooting minor in Standard and Open really isn't much of a negative. at least according to my trophies

John R proved that in Revolver Division as well. Still takes talent to win and lack there of to finish middle of the pack no matter what you shoot.

In Canada (ie - the 10 round world) , if you're shooting in Standard or Open with a Minor gun against someone of similar skills shooting Major - you will lose.
Managing increased recoil in Open or Standard is not a factor. They have the advantage of scoring better when they are off the "A", and you get none.
(Even the pros can't shoot an entire match of all "A"s.)

Apex triggers are illegal in IPSC Production; not just for the sub-5 lb trigger - but because they are an aftermarket part.
USPSA Production division is a completely different animal than IPSC production.
