IMHO, this is worth a "hearty" try at gaining new members and increasing shooting.
If it fails, i.e. splits existing members into another division, you still have them in the organization and can merge them back into L-10. No doubt, some would become angry, but you know you are going to gain some...lose some/gain some.
Although a single stack division can be constued as an attempt to "save" a design, in reality it's estimated 1911's sales are about 80,000 to 100,000 per year, probably over 80% in singlestack 45. That's not a bad "market" to go after since this increasing market with more manufacturers than ever, is for all practical purposes(no pun intended), is excluded due to comps, mag capacity, production rules, etc.
L-10 works. But, if you have a new shooter that wants to win competitions, sport shooting...not practical stuff, after you give him "it's the indian and not the arrow", "spend your money on ammo", etc...are you going to suggest a wide 40 or a singlestack 45?
I'd go with the SS rules although I would keep it to 45 ACP for major, minor for others and no tungston rods. It doesn't get any simpler than that, no discussions on weighted guns, 40 vs 45, long- short, etc. Buy one in any gunshop, if you don't already have one of the millions that are out there, and go shoot.
Of course, I'm often wrong.
Not being a USPSA member (but an IDPA member) I won't try to interject my opinion on what rules/guidelines should be in force.
I will say that this post makes a tremendous amount of sense to me and I'm eagerly awaiting the implementation of this division.

I would definitely cross over.

Why have rules keep score if you can't be competitive.

Fixed it for ya.

Because it's mahogany. True high-speed operators go for basic black, baby!
(Don't tell me your pouch is really basic black and spoil my theory.)
Ya got me there.

I can't help but notice the prevalence of "But I bought all this gear specifically to shoot IDPA...." comments. If the gear had been bought with concealed carry - which was the intention of the sport - in mind, maybe it wouldn't be illegal now? Hmmm. There may be a very small, vocal group complaining about the new holster rules, but I would be absolutely shocked if the vast majority of IDPA shooter who run real world carry gear aren't, at the moment, going "Right on!" If not giggling.
I'm not.
I bought carry gear that was also IDPA legal. Now my mag carrirer is illegal.

Kimber CDP Compact

I shoot full-power Winchester Whitebox 230gr FMJ
So explain to me why my Kramer double mag pouch should be considered illegal "gamer" equipment...

FYI, the mag carrier rule was adjusted to allow mags to tilt up to 10 degrees off vertical. So the above pictured carrier is now legal.
