Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Trigger Tech ACE and why is it controversial?

The Trigger Tech ACE is an aftermarket trigger for Glocks praised for its performance. Controversy arose from claims of it being unsafe, with allegations of accidental discharge, and concerns from USPSA officials about its lack of a traditional trigger safety blade ('dingus').

What are the safety features of the Trigger Tech ACE trigger?

The Trigger Tech ACE is designed to enhance performance while maintaining Glock's established safety protocols. It features a redesigned trigger safety that acts as a lever and integrates with other Glock safeties like the firing pin safety, though it lacks the external 'dingus'.

Could the Trigger Tech ACE trigger ban impact its sales?

A potential ban or restriction from competitions like USPSA could affect sales, as it might discourage competitors from using the trigger and influence their peers. However, its performance benefits might still drive adoption in the broader market.

What is the 'dingus' in relation to firearm triggers?

The 'dingus' is a colloquial term for the trigger safety blade, a small lever on the front of some triggers that must be depressed for the trigger to function. The Trigger Tech ACE trigger does not have this external feature, which has raised concerns with some competition organizations.
