No restriction, as long as it is deemed safe. This is a standard range rule, it is not just an IPSC rule. A gun's trigger should not be able to release the hammer if you shock (bump) the gun, or drop it, or touch the trigger from the side not within the direction of trigger pull. Any such instances would determine the gun to be unsafe due to a negative angle hammer hook/sear engagement.
Make it 1 gram @ 0.1mm if you like, but if you cause it to accidentally discharge, you will be disqualified. If you are modding the gun for yourself, you should know the limits of the gun, and what to do to avoid doing anything unsafe.

i realize you can get a 1911/2011 to break the hammer much earlier than the Glock but as you specified Illusion, the glock falls on a different category.
is the Glock I plan on using for the time being outlawed by your standards in CAPS?
sorry i tried searching for a thread on CAPS Rules and Regulations but came up empty handed.

Not outlawed. But the moment it exceeds the size of "the box", uses electronic optics, or has a mock compensator attached, it moves in to Open Division, which directly competes with all other non-restricted builds (including 1911/2011.)
IDPA uses slightly different rules... in that there is essentially no such thing equivalent to IPSC's Open Division. IDPA are all duty and defensive weapons. There is no limitation to trigger work though, as long as it meets the above rules of being "safe". This allowance is in part due to the fact that everybody has different tastes in weight and length.
