I was at the match also. Everything mentioned above is 100% correct.. The match was fun and challenging, RO's did a great job and the I would shoot it again.. But if the same people that bought the match run it next year, no way in hell am I wasting my money.. It would have been great if they said the scores would take an hour or so and we could have made a McDonald run! Unfortunately, I left before the end of the awards and I wasn't lucky enough to score c crap filled bag.. LOL I loved it when they announced the High Military shooter and he yells out, " I'm not in the military!" So the MC says "OK then the winner is....." But god help you if you didn't sign a proxy form, your SOL on anything!! A friend of mine shot Limited D and he placed 6th, problem is the winner of D is a "C" shooter. He also shot C last years Pro Am! I would vent more, but it would just frustrate me more. Hopefully the rumor is true and they'll move it to South Carolina!

Wanted to put in my $.02 for my 1st post. I shot my first sanctioned IDPA and I shot SSP. I checked with the match director at my local matches. He stated it was legal. Since I trust him, I shot the match with a stainless steel guide rod. When it was my turn to inspect my G34, they questioned me on this issue. I pulled out a copy of the new rules and they went to the director. Ruling was that it is legal in SSP according to new rulebook. The rule states, "8.2.1.3.4. Recoil spring guide rods and dual spring recoil systems made of material that is no heavier than stainless steel." As long as the guide rod "no heavier" it's OK. But if I'm wrong please let me know. Thanks and hope to learn more in the forum. Ian FYI- I placed 5th in SSP-MM
