Your local club is doing it 100% wrong.

this is an important point. open guns are great for shooting stuff fast, but clearly not 'practical'. I'm enough of a fudd that I enjoy competing with something that's at least pretty close to what a cop might carry on his belt all day. CO has gotten away from the practical a little bit with the silly weight limit and extended magazines, but it still looks and feels alot like my carry gun.
I saw a cop in Salt Lake City Airport carrying a Staccato and 4 170mm mags in a chest rig... -
Thanks! I did about a quarter turn, then went back and did another quarter turn and now it seems much better.

I recently ran out of Federal SPP and started using Fed Magnum SPP...but these things don't load in my DAA Primter Pro collater. It will run for a few minutes and only one or two will end up in the primer tube. Is there any way to adjust something on this machine to get it to work? I guess the primers are slightly different dimensions

Barrel or barricade, makes no difference. Shooting through hardcover 3 feet in front of you is not a winning stage plan. It's not like the barrel was way down range blocking the popper from view...and even if it was, nothing wrong with that, you see it every weekend.

No, no one has tried this.

You lose 15 points for a miss, not 5.
Also, this....

Barrels are to be considered hard cover unless otherwise stipulated in the WSB. Therefore, hard to argue that that this wasn't a FTSA.

Because they were wrong and it took some convincing for them to admit it

I hope that guy makes GM by 400%

The recoil impulse on my 40 2011 is just so smooth even compared to a 9mm Stock Master. I don't know if it's noticeable on the clock, I doubt it is, but I like it better. A well fit gun just recoils less, I swear. Maybe because it's full of slide glide usually. Trigger doesn't really have anything to do with it

I doubt it will become a majority 2011 division with this rule-set. Those with CZ or Tanfoglio CO guns will likely jump ship, no more DA/SA mix.
The vast majority of USPSA shooters are in L1 and they like things easy; Reloads are hard so they like high-capacity divisions, reloads with a magwell are even easier, so they will switch.
Magwells (after-market or OEM) are available for just about every Production gun.
On the classifiers HHF they should use those values set by CO. The two divisions are essentially the same, they should not use Limited or Open as both are Major_
Definitely not. My 2011 shoots a lot better than my Tanfo

The new official ruling contradicts their question of the month and further blog clarification and the podcast that came after.
I can forgive them because at least they got it right now. -

If I already had a CZ I wouldn't shoot a Glock but that's me

No way on earth they make it anything but Minor only

You want the targets to be in focus

I shot a g35 in Production and IDPA SSP/ESP for a while before switching to .40 Tanfoglios. Made GM in Production shooting 40 minor. Over the course of the year you will get some -0s that would wouldn't have otherwise when shooting 9mm too...and the occasional no shoot

My original question was a rules question. Seeing as the conversation has moved to a game theory question it would seem to me, in the case of this classifier anyway, one would want to address the hardest shots first. My logic is as follows:
1. There are no throwaway shots in this drill; they are all scored the same. Lets just assume at the masters level you need to be good enough that all your shots will go where you want them. With this assumption out of the way the classifier becomes a speed game; where can you find the extra 1/10ths of a second?
2. The first shot out of the holster is by definition a reactive shot. The head shot requires a reactive shot also. Use the time once.
3. Transitioning from small to large target area is quicker. This can almost be a predictive shot; the same cannot be said for the reverse.
4. Transitioning to a more difficult reactive shot after a string of 4 predictive shots is going to take longer as you need to settle the gun down and settle yourself down.
5. Dry fire training a slow precise single shot is practical. Training a slow precise shot after a rapid fire string of four shots is not. You can get 1k reps of the head shot from the holster free; the same cannot be said of the reverse.
If you are looking for a few tenths to get to masters and this is legal why not give it a go, the timer doesn't lie.
This is not a strategy for a match stage, this is simply my interpretation/understanding what the fastest best way to shoot this skills test.
Your draw is way too slow. Spend a month fixing that and you'll easily make M every time.

I don’t even know what class I’m shooting in.
The only mod I did is stipple the frame on my polymer pistol which supposedly changes the class I’m in.
but on my single stack I can change grips ad nauseum with no class.
like school in the summertime
"supposedly"
There is a rulebook for our sport, you know -

Do you have yours locked into a brightness setting? Just seeing how others have their EDC SROs set. Since it will default to dim after time, you either have to check it before you go to bed or I risk not being able to see it in the middle of the night.
I have it set to 2 or 3 from full bright for the most part.

My comp gun SRO I turn on on match day and off when I put it away. My carry gun SRO is always on and I replace the battery twice a year

You can still hit them on edge or spin them on the stand so they don't fall. Automatic reshoot in both cases

Because that's a terrible idea?
Rule 9.1.5.1 question

They started doing this on some classifiers, and it's terrible
