I am looking forward to this change. 15 rounds is not going to be a cake walk. You will still be doing more reloads than 140mm folks. 32 round field course is going still require 2 reloads. Toss some steel in there and maybe more. I see a lot of 14 /10 /8 type scenarios. IMHO this change is WAY overdue.

EGW makes a dovetail mount for Para. Make sure you get the cut that matches your rear sight. https://www.egwguns.com/1911-dovetails

I have 4 kits of the MBX spring follower. With TTI extensions and Mec-gar 18 round tube I get 23 very reloadable. One of the 4 I can get a 24th round, but no way reloadable. I don't know about the nomenclature of "24 rounds". Is it 24 rounds total in the gun or 23+1? IDK, but I am happy with he 23+1 for now. The TTI + Mac-gar 18 round will fit the EGW gauge - absolutely. No wiggle room. FYI Beretta 18 round magazines that are shipping with several of the recent 92x(s) DO NOT fit the gauge with TTI nor Springer extensions. The Beretta's are longer than the Mac-gar's. MBX now has complete magazines for the Beretta. I have some for other platforms and they have been very good. This should eliminate some of the hurdles with what mag extension works with XYZ magwell. They are on my next purchase list.

I was deep into P16s for a while. I still have 3 and they do run flawlessly. From your description my guess the next round is caught at an upward angle trying to feed. As if it is not sliding up fully to the breach face. Which leads to extractor speculation along with magazines. It can be a bad rabbit hole. You will not like the next part. You are never going to be 100% with factory ammo. This is my opinion/experience and of many others. You absolutely have to load long. 12#. 14# does not really matter. The geometry is not friendly to the short 40 factory rounds. if you can find match long ammunition, give it a try. I run 1.185 to 1.2” COL depending on bullet. You will need to make sure the rounds fit your chamber with a simple plunk test. I would do the above before spending time and money on any other solution.

The TTI universal extension is working very well with both the Beretta magwell and the Springer magwell. This is with the Mac-Gar 18 round tube and does fit the EGW gage. Note: Beretta factory 18 round tubes with TTI extensions or Springer extensions will NOT fit the EGW gage. The TTI retention system is much better than the Springer. I have/had issues with the little set screw on the Springer extensions disappearing at the worst time. I have many Springer products and all have been very nice quality except this set screw idea. MBX is making a follower / spring kit that will get "24 rounds" in this combination according to website, but I have not tried. MBX has "coming soon" a 140mm magazine for the Beretta 92. I am considering trying the follower / spring kit, but highly anticipating the whole MBX magazine. With the mono tube, I would think about any magwell would work. I have several MBX mags for other platforms and they have been exceptional.

Right, this is what I see. I just think a clarification is needed. Unless this is what they want. I have been on a couple of bylaw committees and I envy this crowd 0.0 . Its tough taken a working doc and weaving in the changes you want without creating other headaches. I know many people that have come and gone in USPSA membership only to circle back around years later. Usually picking up a few matches as a non-member to restart.

Comment or question here. "4.14 Non-Payment of Dues or Fees: Any member shall be terminated from the membership for non-payment of dues or fees." "4.13......A suspended or terminated member may not participate nor officiate in any USPSA sanctioned events ....." Is the above not in conflict with Appendix 1 for Level 1 matches. So if I member drops USPSA membership then no participation in Level 1 events? I get the suspension part, but for terminated member for non-payment? Or is a level 1 match consider non-sanctioned?

I am still loving the Gen 3s. It is all I have. The only Gen 5 that has caught my eye is the 17. I have been debating sending a Gen 3 slide to have cut for DPP. If the Gen 4s are dumped I have zero issue in getting a 17/34 MOS in Gen 4. I had Gen 2s and traded them for Gen 3s. I guess I am in the camp where I like the finger groves. At least I hear the .40s Gen 5s are in the pipe.

Thanks, this is the log that was available. I thought since the rules are "evergreen" now it would be important to keep the change log available to the masses.

I must be getting old. I thought on the USPSA website there was a rules change log. I cannot find it and under the rulings and the link for official rulings says all have been implemented in the rule book. Part 2, I could have sworn I had a copy of the rules that had the changes documented inside?

Hi Deadeye, Yes, it will fit a Canadian or Pineville model without modification. From the photo you had posted, it looks like a Pineville? Due to checkering on the front strap?

PM sent.

I just bought 4 REAL P16 bodies from Numrich. $13 a piece. No Crap. I also bought the last 3 S&A magwells S&A had. I had my P16s milled for the S&A. Now the guns take a various amount of mag base pad combos. I can run Dawson and I get 20 reloadable. I can run Dawson's on the $20 MecGar mags and get 19. I have 12 H2G Para mags and 20+ MecGars. So I am set for a while. I load to 1.178" COL Blue Bullets 180. I am getting 100% reliability. I have an ICE magwell and extra insert laying around now with no home. This combo worked fine with MBX mags or Canadian Para tubes and Dawson Base pads. The MBXs were not 100% for me. If I ran the gun dry, it would swallow the follower into the chamber. It was a show stopper. Really nasty. I could just not make a go of it. Seemed like a really good product. I was told to get Grams followers. Could never find any. Sold them off. Went down the S&A route and have never looked back.
