Happy shooting, Tony Caspers BBI Great! thanks for the quick response! Should be anytime now then, I've been looking forward to trying these. If you are using Glock is it your understanding that most are having more luck with aftermarket barrels in terms of accuracy? I run a factory Glock 34 barrel and have no problems using the 9mm/130 Grain with Solo 1000. (Except having a trigger pin break at the Pro-am... Some guys like to use aftermarket barrels with out polygonal rifling. Most guys would suggest to use your factory barrel and see if it performs well for you before spending money on a after market barrel. Most glocks have no issues...but every so offen one will throw a fit.

NRA Bianchi Cup Production Division rules clarification Posted on January 28, 2010 by Caleb There has been some discussion of the Production Division rules for NRA’s Bianchi Cup at the Brian Enos Forums that I’ve been periphrially involved in. A lot of it centers around the trigger pull weight, holsters, approved guns, etc. I called Tom Hughes, NRA’s Action Pistol director yesterday to get some clarification on the rules. So straight from the top, here is what we got from Tom. The second question is “what about Performance Center guns” – i.e. are they eligible for Production Division? The answer to this is “yes and no”. Because the Performance Center guns are catalog items available to the wide public, some of them are eligible for Production Division; however because some of the PC guns are clearly designed as “competition only” guns, those would be ineligible. The example Tom used was to look at the Performance Center 627 guns. There are several models of 627 available in the Smith and Wesson Performance Center catalog. This model is a vanilla 627. It has a five inch barrel, standard iron sights, and no “competition only” touches. This model would most likely be fine in Production Division. ___________________________ I have a Stock PC 627 (vanilla) with a 4 lb trigger with no weights/ comps or a full lug barrel, just stock. I want to use this because this is what I own. Now to me with the new production rules I can change all the parts on the inside of a glock and be fine, but some say a Performance Center SW falls under the "Custom Shop" gun rule. PC guns are available off the shelf, to me custom shop is a special order gun to the customer spec's that you can't go to the local gun store and buy. Having said this, "most likely be fine in production" really is bothering me. I don't want to train and shoot for months for this match and it be to "most likely be fine in production" Tom can you confirm this Thanks

I shot the match for the first time ever in production with a SP-01 CZ last year. I am thinking of coming back shooting a revolver in production. Any one know if the SW PC 627 4" barrel 357 MAG. - 8 times (with a 3.75lb single action trigger pull) be legal. It has the stock sights/grips from the factory also. Thanks This is the whole crux of the matter. This is only the second time we have shot Production at the Bianchi Cup. Whichever way they went with the rules it was a no win situation. We have a base point, we can now go one with that. We / the NRA are still learning. If the rules are changed every 5 minutes we can guarantee attendance will go down. It has happened before. USPSA / IPSC have had how many years to get their rules to where they are? 2000 or 2001? What did they start with? I bet a few guys started to push the envelope a little in sneaking stuff past inexperienced staff. Down here we have very few guys who regularly shoot AP and would be keen on shooting PRoduction, BUT we have IPSC shooters galore that wanted to try, without getting their arse kicked. So at our recent Nationals we decided in the interim too use the IPSC Production rules as our AP Production rules "FOR THAT NATIONALS" to encourage more shooters, my shop put up $400 in prizes. It worked, we got 6 guys turn up that had never shot a full match before that day, two had never even tried AP at any level. OK we now have to tweak the rules to suit our situation. They self checked their guns to ensure that all were following IPSC PRod rules, the regular AP range staff don't know the Production rules yet, we relied on their expertise. As Kevin said showed if you turned up with a firearm that met the USPSA / IPSC production rules, plus our trigger weight and holster requirements you are sorted. Again if you are not sure, ask the Tom Huges at the NRA if this particular piece of equipment will be legal. He can find out. What would a holster cost $100, trigger check and maybe tweak $100. You will go through about $1500+ worth of travel and ammo between now and the Cup if you are getting your self together.
