And if you want to shoot internationally (ie. IPSC), you need to be a member of USPSA.

The BOD have the authority to suspend members and (wit majority vote) can remove other officers holders. The members have no such authority, there is no recall option under the bylaws.
Therefore, all the power remains concentrated at the top of the organization.
They are answerable to no-one but themselves.
A recall option and term limits would go a long way to resolving many of the issues that currently exist in the organization. That these provisions do not exist is further proof that they wish to retain the status quo.
And, under the current rules, the DNROI has the power to unilaterally remove someone from the board (by pulling their RO certification)?

This thread comes to mind re: the Beretta

I agree sailor versus EG would be a great match. Grauffel used to shoot open all the time but switched to production for several years. Maybe they would need to run one match of each irons versus optics
EG is shooting production again in the upcoming European championships

I could well be wrong, but I think Sailer hinted that he was going to shoot Production nats

Took it to my gunsmith, who fixed it by removing about 4 thou of an inch of material from the trigger bar.

The rule isn't really for safety purposes, it's to force competitors into a stock or near stock configuration.
if this were true, it would only be applied to 'Production' guns.
I'm pretty sure the point of the disconnect is to prevent out of battery detonations?

It holds the trigger bar up so it can push the tab on the sear and lift it off the hammer. The bumps on top the trigger bar then ride the grooves on the slide pushing it down below the sear so it can reset.
The answer to your question is the slide and the trigger bar aren’t timed to prevent the drop. If you replaced the trigger and done “tuning work” on the trigger bar it’s likely there’s your problem.
In DA the disconnector is the part which releases/drops the hammer prior to it fully engaging the sear. It, the disconnector rides up the frame until it comes off the trigger bar and releases/drops the hammer.
Here’s a video of how it works.
I'm not sure if the issue is on the trigger end, or a timing issue between the slide and trigger bar. The slide is pushing the trigger bar down just fine, the problem is that despite the trigger bar being pushed down, it is still engaging and releasing the sear. My understanding is that if the trigger bar is pushed down, it should be clear of the sear.

Based on your posts the pistol clearly fails the IPSC safety test. That assume I read your post correctly.
If you did the replacement parts it’s going to be you who needs to fix it. Sounds like you already know the fix. Increase downward force on the trigger bar spring and then ensure that fixed the problem and didn’t create new ones.
What role does the trigger bar spring play?
I've tried pushing down on the 'ears' of the trigger bar (like how the slide would) and the trigger will still drop the hammer. I'm assuming this means the end of the trigger bar that interfaces with the sear isn't being pushed down enough to disengage from the sear?
-
Sorry yes, it is a physical gap of at least 1.5mm between the breech face and barrel. Unfortunately mine is dropping the hammer with plenty of gap. It seems there's something up with the way the trigger bar is interacting with the disconnector.
-
IPSC rules just say that racking/cocking handles are prohibited. It would take some really creative interpretation of the rules to say that an optics plate that sticks out slightly is a racking handle. Appeal to RM, and if that fails, fork up for arbitration.

Stock hammer and disco?
Aftermarket hammer
After further research and testing, it seems it's related to the trigger bar and how it interacts with the sear/hammer? On my other Shadow, if I push down slightly on the trigger bar (like how a slide would), and then pull the trigger, the hammer won't fall.
-
Going through the IPSC equipment check manual, and one of the tests is the 'Disconnector' test. The hammer must not fall when the trigger is pulled when there is a 1.5mm gap between the slide and barrel (ideally the gun should not fire if it's even slightly out of battery). In the case of my SP-01 Shadow, the hammer is dropping even when there is a significant gap between the slide and barrel (ie. the slide is significantly retracted). What could be causing this?
-
Yes, everything in that kit is IPSC Production legal.
-
It'd be strictly no bueno in IPSC Production.

Thank you!In contrast what the majority of people think, longer and bigger isnt always better.
Especially if you're shooting optics - then sight radius doesn't matter and there is really little benefit with the extra 0.5" barrel?

Prodigy would fit better without the iron sights or with the usual shaving of basepads, but it sneaks in without.
Much easier fit in the USPSA box (not shown).
Technically the gun has to be placed so that the slide is pretty much parallel with the longest side of the box.

I think there are countries that have bans on 9mm, and probably other legal issues that may lead them to make choices we wouldn't. I talked to my AD about this a few months back and he mentioned something about it and that they seemed to want major/minor and he thought they wanted us to go first to see how it went lol.
Which were circumvented by chambering guns in 9x21mm
I would like to see minor only for any IPSC Standard Optics
-
Any issues running Flat Point profile bullets through the JP-5?
-
Some key things would be aftermarket barrels/slides and stippling would not be allowed in IPSC Production (Optics), nor are those thumb-rest "slide stops".
-
I just see no reason to ban offset red dots in PCC.
-
While it's in force now, it'll need to be ratified at the next GA (at the shotgun world shoot?) so I'll be pushing my RD to vote against it.
-
The IPSC rules committee has published their ruling, and 45 degree red dots are officially dead in IPSC PCC.

Is this a hint that Christian's shooting Production nationals?
