I don't think the BODs want to add another division. Revolver as it is having low participation. I'm not sure if adding optics would grow the division but it would certainly increase the longevity of the shooters that currently compete in the division
Open Guns are like anything else, the more you beat on them the more maintenance they require. Field strip and clean every 1K rounds, recoil spring every 2k and change parts as required by infinitys maintenance protocols and it'll run forever.
My opinion is leave it alone. If you want to run matches that's great. When you start adding a classification system now someone needs to organize a system for it. That costs money. If this thing gets as big as USPSA someone needs to be at the head of the table and I'm almost certain that that person will want to be compensated for their time and now were just circling back to the whole USPSA drama.
When I shot 9major I would case gauge everything. If it didn't drop out clean out of the hundo it was put off to the side, but once I started getting Spear once fired brass I just made sure I had a good tight die and didn't case gauge after that. never had any issues.
I won a calibration call on stage 9 on the right activator. I then watched someone on the squad behind me shooting open unload almost two magazines on the left side activator before it went down.
The trubor is a great gun! I had a racker installed on mine too. Shot mine for around two years until I figure out the open game, then ordered a custom gun.
