I'm using my gen 4 G19 in IDPA. Can I change the trigger to whatever is in the G34 and still shoot SSP class? I love the trigger pull on the G34 compared to G19.

This is the link to the new rule book going into effect October 1rst. If you are competing in any IDPA sanctioned, state, or nationals match I recommend looking up the 2005 book. If you are doing any mods go by the 2013 rules or you're just going to have to mod it again, possibly, when the 2013 rules kick in.
