Hmm...I didn't know they had a USPSA one. I'll have to hit that some time too. Twice in one week may get SWMBO a little cranky.

Yup...the BigShots Practical Pistol League (USPSA style) is EVERY Wednesday. We get around the same number of shooters each week as IDPA. Several people shoot both. Come on out sometime. We would be glad to see you there.

Ok, I had fun at the IDPA match last week. Took 7th in SSP, which I was pleased with considering I'm out of practice and this was my first time shooting one handed with a flashlight (it was a "night" shoot scenario).
I'll have to see if I can make the Wednesday match this week, and I'm planning on hitting the match in Louisville on Sunday. I just put a CZ Custom competition hammer (still Production legal since it's a factory part) and a Cajun gun works sear in my new baby, so I'm eager to try it out. I had it all disassembled last weekend and couldn't take it to the meeting in GI. The trigger is NICE now. Still needs a little polishing on some of the contact points like the transfer bar, but I made this face when I first tried it:

bkoenig,
I found a section of the current USPSA rules that is pertinent to your situation.
USPSA Rulebook, Section 25.13.2.1, titled "Unclassified shooters" states...
"Unclassified shooters with less than 18 sanctioned match participations in the prior 12 months must shoot an unmodified trigger."
From the rulebook definitions section...
"Unmodified trigger: A trigger which has not been improved through polishing, or parts replacements. This does not apply to a modified trigger with substantial foreign material which significantly diminishes the trigger performance. In situations where sufficient foreign material is not present, a metal trigger which has never been lubricated and has significant rust impeding the trigger movement, may be substituted."

Well, that sucks. I guess I can put the factory parts back in it for now.
