Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main safety enhancements made to the ACE Trigger System?

The ACE Trigger System has received three main safety enhancements: a redesigned back plate with a cavity to prevent accidental discharge from impact, an improved safety step for increased resistance to disengagement, and a newly engineered internal safety that is decoupled from the frame.

How does the new back plate modification address the mallet impact issue?

The new back plate features a cavity that provides 'runway' for the slide to displace forward when impacted. This prevents the striker from hitting the back plate and causing an accidental discharge, which was a concern with the original design.

Will existing ACE Trigger System owners receive the new internal safety?

Yes, existing owners of the ACE Trigger System will receive the new internal safety. It will be integrated with a certified TMD lever module and sent out to all customers who previously purchased the trigger.

What are the differences between the upcoming competition and duty versions of the ACE Trigger System?

Both the competition and duty versions of the ACE Trigger System will feature all the latest modifications, including the internal safety. The competition version is specifically geared towards meeting USPSA and IPSC requirements.
