To be clear, I didn't switch because I wanted to move up in the results. I switched because CO has a lot of appeal, if you want to get into the red dot game and are too poor (cheap) to shoot open.
I have shot in every division except L10 and Revo, I don’t care what division people shoot or why they do it. I just don’t get the mentality, hey would should make the round capacity higher with these production division pistols when the same thing can already be accomplished shooting Limited. Nobody says you have to put base pads and run 140mags, that’s just the max. You want to shoot 15 round production to practice for IPSC, cool, sign up Limited, shoot minor and load your mags up to 15. Why does everybody else have to change?

It is the stupidity of the Production rules that made me leave, temporarily. I currently split time between Prod (my 1st love) and CO (my new side chick). Only because of local Prod heat do I even still care.
The old adage “it’s the Indian, not the arrow” holds no matter what division you shoot in. You might jump up a few places running a dot locally but not going to make a difference if you go to bigger matches.

it doesnt say Max on it. When i saw both released i never considered the max. The xl seems to be everything the max is plus some.
Besides glass, isn’t the mounting different? Different footprint?

I don't think anything needs to be done to the rules regarding gun modifications.
I was speaking only with respect to the 10 round mag limitation.
You can pretty much do whatever you want to gun so the 10 round restriction is the only difference between limited minor without basepad or 140mm mags. Is 5 rounds going to be a game changer to division?

Due to the recent Production rules changes there seems to be a lot of resistance to further modifications.
What’s left to do to the gun besides adding optics and a comp?

My mag will not activate the hold open. I have a Taccom buffer. I was told to use a carbine spring and stack some quarters. I just wondered if there was a consensus among those that already do this what the best length is.
Start around 6-8 quarters and test it for your grip and whatever load your shooting.

How much spacer to not break the catch?
Most of the guys I know short stroking can’t lock back in the bolt catch so not a problem. My lower doesn’t even have a bolt catch. YMMV

Well yeah, that’s why I said “almost” lol. I’m hoping he takes Area 2 also, that would be an awesome feat to accomplish at such a young age.
That would been an awesome achievement, I don’t know if it’s every been done? I think maybe Max Michel did it, don’t know of any others.

Only 4 of the top 20 are PCC's (dropped one), and don't understand but they have
Frank Garcia listed as Senior instead of Super Senior today, and he's dropped
from 43 to 94.
Top Super Senior is near 194 th or something - they're discriminating against old guys.
People on different squads will shoot different blocks of stages so the stage points are not balanced throughout the days.

Meh, he's okay I guess
Someday you will have to take ibuprofen just like the rest of us.

I'm hoping he takes it too. I know he got third last year, but after how well he's been doing this year and taking almost every Area match now, I'd be disappointed if he didn't take first at Nationals. It could still go any way at this point though, guess we'll see what happens the next few days!
Not almost, he has taken every Area match so far this year, yeah I know Area 2 is in November.

From matchbook:
So what power factor is everyone loading to?
Go ahead and ask for a calibration
say a couple of people shoot and wait for popper to fall and then look at RO...RO just showed the timer to them
Last year there was just a speed shoot stage that the poppers were slow to fall but most people double tripled tapped to drive down popper activators anyway.

If you make Production a 15 round capacity division, you basically make it a 9mm only as you will cut out anybody shooting 40 minor or even 45. Yes, there are some people that shoot 40 minor for production. You would also push away any crossover from idpd like ssp shooters. I know retired police that shoots production with a Glock G21 just because he wants to stay proficient.
If you want to load up mags, nothing stopping you from shooting Limited minor.

For the same price you should look for the Dawson Precision tuned STI Edge, either the CRP or Super Tuned if possible. They retailed for $2000 on the site, and an amazing value. The Rock Islands look/feel/shoot like garbage compared to even a basic Edge out of the box.
Having said that, you can also cry once and get an Atlas Titan with a PT Evo grip (my personal choice).
CRP or Tuned Edge pistols have not been available for some time now but it definitely was a good deal if you can find one.
If all you’re going to shoot is 3gun then shoot it. I wouldn’t spend $400 on reliablity package, if the gun doesn’t run I’d get rid of it. Sounds like you want a 2011, so just get what you want.

so if holster slides during the stage, after the shooter has drawn his gun (say, when he goes prone), would you say the competitor shot the course of while out of compliance? I'm not sure I could say that with a straight face.
Saw this happen at an Area match and shooter was moved to Open. Carry Optic shooter Went down for prone and mag pouches moved forward of hip, when they got up and holstered, the CRO notified them of equipment violation.

Is already almost limited minor,,, NROI has made production an F ing joke, might as well get rid of the stupid 10 round nonsense and just go with a box.
IMO If I ran USPSA I would have
1 Limited minor.. No optic no comp fit box, with mag all scored minor.
2 limited major,, 40 cal min, 140 mags, no comp no optics
3 Limited 10/8 10 round minor, 8 round major, no comps, no optics,
4 Open minor,, no comps, slide mounted optic, 140 mags.
5 Open major, run what u brung, 170mm magsYou forgot PCC

Can you just drop the entire housing with the new ejector into a Gen 3? Does the Gen5 housing work in a Gen 3?
No, unless you change the trigger bar, the trigger springs are different.

We had to throw out stages and everyone got a 0 on classifier that were shoot with incorrect start position. Sucks, but that’s what you have to do. Better than having to zero everybody.

I was kind of going back and forth on my thinking on the 90%. That is why I computed it both ways in my initial post. I know a person can have an initial classification up at M/GM but with the other lower scores mixed in I was thinking that it might get that 90% tossed.
Since the shooter only had 3 scores, they would still be unclassified. Then when the scores for the 6 classifier scores go in, at that points I think they will just use the best 6. Then as you continue to shoot they look at the latest 8 and take top 6. If any are duplicates, you get the higher even if it was shot early, a worse more recent run doesn’t count against you.

My understanding is that you lose the 4 count rule when something like this happens and the classification system can run like normal with 6 of the best last 8 classifiers shot. Hence the 66.667% answer unless like in normal circumstances the 90% would get thrown out since it is more than 5% above the classification for the shooter.
The 90% won’t get thrown out since it was used in initial classification. As an example, if he had shot one more match and had 4 classifiers, those classifiers would have been used to come up with initial classification then the classifier match score of 90 would of got thrown out most likely for being too high.

Have you measured bullets? Maybe the bullets are slightly larger in diameter.

I thought the system uses the 6 most recent scores for initial classification. This would only count the classifier match scores ignoring the previous scores. Then the classifier match scores are ranked in descending order so the classification would be (90+80+70+60)/4. Of course, I’m probably missing something.
Classification uses the highest 6 of most recent 8. But for your initial classification, you only need 4. So in the example of OP, the June one wouldn’t be included assuming no duplicate stages were shoot.

This sounds like it fully avoids the word "practical" in USPSA.
I checked your scores on classifiers that have reloads, this obviously wouldn't be a problem for you to throw a reload in per stage. It's just keeping the spirit of the game. If PCC only competes against PCC, what is the problem with tossing in a 30 round cap? It would eliminate the silly socks walking arond with 60 round extensions because they straight up lack the ability to reload. It would make stage planning mean more for PCC, that's a huge portion of the game imo.
If I want to practice reloads, I shoot production.
If I want to shoot a dot and reload, I shoot Open.
PCC is pretty much an unlimited division, why try and put limits on it now just because you have chosen to shoot a platform that limits your mag choice to 30 rounds? I agree with you that 60+ mag is not necessary but there is no mag limit. And if you need 60 rounds to make 32 required hits, that’s not really practical either.

That's EXACTLY what it is for me
https://www.cmmginc.com/9-arc/
I'm glad more than just me think 30round mag limit would improve PCC division. I get it, it's currently "open", but the point is PRACTICAL and 50-60 round glock mags are not that. I don't think there are enough shooters for PCC Limited and PCC Open, but really it's just entirely past the point to have 30-33 round medium stages where you don't have to reload at all.
I don’t run 50+ mags in uspsa matches and the specialty matches I have shot, there is always a spot to reload. Making people reload just to reload does nothing for a platform where wether you run Glock, colt or mpx, you have options to carry up to 40rds in a stage with simple addition of a basepad. On a large field course with 32 rounds, I only load my mag up to 38 rounds most of the time anymore. If I have to do s reload on a stage I’ve lost or had a gun malfunction.
Production-15: Make Production Great Again!
in USPSA/IPSC Rules
Posted
Where do you think IPSC got the idea from? It started in USPSA first as a Practical/Tactical division that tried to get the gun manufacturers involved with sponsorship , they changed the name to production to not have the custom built guns that were in open and limited at the time. Sold it to the masses as come and shoot in this division we’re your duty/polymer frame gun isn’t at a disadvantage, only basic internal modifications can be made, it should look stock from the outside. Then after years of being asked, can I do this to my gun? Can I add this to my gun? NROI has thrown their hands up and taken the stance there is nothing stock about stock car racing and applied it to shooting.
