If I drop one of the Glockworx $130 "competition" trigger kits in my 17 does this automatically put me in IPSC Standard because of the trigger pull?
You can shoot it in Standard if you declare that Division before you start the match.
If you declare Production...and get caught with those parts...you will be bumped to Open.
ExactlyJust declare for SD and go for it. A surprising number of people shoot Glocks in both PD and SD and some of them do very well

More to the point - if the trigger passes the 5lb test, do we really care?
Not that I'm advocating cheating, but how would the RO running a compliance stage know? More to the point - if the trigger passes the 5lb test, do we really care?
Well, the last nationals in Alberta and often at other L3 throughout Canada, the guy doing the compliance check has been a certfied Glock Armorer. He'd know.
That said, the guy who would care the most would be the guy who you beat with your non-compliant "production" gun.
I doubt you'd feel very good taking a plaque or trophy or medal over someone who did follow the rules.
Glock parts are cheap; it won't cost you much to go back to legal and you'll feel better beating the other guys in your category, class or division then too.
I'll bet 100% the USPSA guys at WS all had factory parts - they wouldn't take the chance of loosing the match over something so trivial. Tweaking is one thing, aftermarket parts - another. You can get caught, and it would suck to get tossed to open, so it's not worth it.I was just asking for interest. Not trying to stir the pot, but I prefer rules that are enforceable without having to rely on dismantling the pistol or the honesty of the competitor. Did the USPSA guys at the IPSC World Shoot have all stock parts? Ben Stoeger publishes on his website that his trigger is tweaked. I'm not certain he feels bad about his second place finish.
Yep, Sure does - so if you're shooting a clearly superior platform to the tactical tupperwareAs for my gun, I'm shooting a CZ with all the best OEM parts. For IPSC in Canada this pistol offers a pretty clear apples-to-apples comparison of shooting skill.
You will be surprised how many people has aftermarket
parts (internal) in their Glock in Production if you can check everyone
of them. They can get away with it because no one will check them at any
matches (at least any LV1&2)![]()
Those people are what I like to call.....CHEATERS.......and are ruining PD

PD was 'ruined' years ago by the 'powers that be' in IPSC when they stubbornly hung on to unenforcable rules.
IMHO, USPSA has its PD rules right (their recent adoption of a minimum trigger pull rule excepted).
